"No more than l do" she answered.

Il suppose tn chil'ren'll feel putty bad

Shaw, reaectively. "Well, I'll see Per
lesser Wilson to-day"
Times had once been good with the
6haws, but an ambitious brother had
dragged Samuel into indorsing notes,
with the almost invariable result. He
had to mortgage the place, and the in
terest kept them poor. Then came the
mysterious loss Of thousand dollars IN
carefully boarded government bonds.
There were two boys at home, Fred and
Egbert. To-day they were out coasting.
Recently a chum had become possessed
of a number of literary works, bearing
chiefly on the adventures OF one Keen
Knife, otherwise the prince of the Prai-
ries," and the boys had spent long and
delightful afternoons In a hay NOW in
perusal OF the books. But even these
novels were forgotten now In the atmos-
phere Of Christmas, and possibilities of
new carpenters tools and a small print
ing press.
The melodeon was always treated with
great respect in the Shaw family. The
boys had not heard it In years. The
last time was on soft summer evening,

bring other than happy thoughts and
memories. Sorrows are harder to bear
on festal days than at any other time.
But no sorrow should crush the Christ
mas spirit from our hearts. It is not In
the amount that we do, or are able to do,
that we shall find happiness for our
selves and for others. The simplest
pleasures and acts Outlines make the
hearts of others to overflow with happi-
ness. To fail to do something because
you feel that you cannot do much IL
wrong. What seems ever so trifling to
you may make some heart sing all day
long, which but for you might pass the
day without note of happiness.
Let us not disturb the Christmas tradi-
lions. 1t In duty to ourselves to keep
this day as unlike any other. And we
can only do this by tanning into fame
the smouldering embers of the Christmas
spirit which is in every one of us. God
implanted 1t there. 1t was good that we
should have 1t, or he would not have Civ

there. She was to sail for Europe the
next day as companion to q rich woman
who had taken great fancy to her, and
played and sang such sweet, old-fashion-
ed airs as "Then You'll Remember Me"
and Home, Sweet Home" That was
four years ago, and some sentiment re-
specting the absent sister had caused
Mrs. Shaw to generally keep the melo-
deon locked ever since.
Mrs. Shaw was engaged In her usual
occupation of mending when her husband
returned. 1--WE sold the melodeon," he
said, putting three IS bills in his wife's
hand. "Perfesser Wilson said he
wouldn't send for 1t till the day after
Christmas"
So they sat and planned what should
be done with the money--about 81 for
presents for the boys, 81 to the doctor,
$3.50 for little tokens for others, and
the balance was to be expended on good
things to eat. Monday was busy day
in the Shaw household. The boys pres
ents were safely hidden away. A minia-
ture pie was made for each, and the tur-
key was, for the time being, of more abb
sorbing interest than even the venison
steak and the roasted ears of corn upon
which Keen Knife regaled himself in
spare moments.
When the boys had gone to bed, the
stockings were filled. There was a rous-
ing snow storm just beginning; the air
had penetrating chill. Mr.. Shaw took
but brief survey of the scene, remark
ing!
"Well, guess, mother, we're goin' to
hev real Christmas weather."
Wouldn't mind anything, Samuel, 3
longs the boys had good time, except
tn melodeon," she responded, patting the
instrument tenderly.
Mrs. Shaw sat down before it and be-
gan an old air she had known when a
girl, and then suddenly the sound ceased.
though her hands still touched the KEYS.
'Why, what's the matter with itY
she exclaimed. "It must be broken"
Mr.. Shaw looked it over. Then he
carefully removed the top. Some papers
lay upon the bellows.

Plan of the American Banking Asso-
citation.
New York.-After a three days ses-
sion here the bank money order COM
mittee of the American Bankers asso-
citation, representing 1000 banks, has
agreed upon plan for a money order
system whereby sums not to exceed
800 can be sent by mail and the or
ders cashed by any bank belonging to
the association.
The scheme will, of course, come in
to direct competition with the money
order division Of the postoffice service,
and it is expected to cut largely into
the government revenues. The pro-
posed system is said to be operated
precisely as exchange is now sold and
the orders are to be sold by a guar
antee company.
The committees report will be sub
mitted to the executive council of the

SEVEN coLoRED GIRLS DEAD.
One White Woman Fatally Injured In
Walden Fire.

vdtASh
Nashville, Tenn.-Seven are dead
and IL seriously injured as the result
of. the fire in the woman's dormitory
of Walden university. an institution
for the education Of colored people.
President Hamilton was the first
member of the faculty to be apprised
of the fire. He hearl the screams OF
the women, and, rushing to his win
dow, saw the flames bursting from the
building.
When he reached the door the fright
ened inmates had begun to hurl them
selves from the windows.
Several were killed in jumping or
crushed to death, by those who folloW-
ed. The dormitory was a four story
building of brick, and the only means
of exit was down the main stairway,
which was soon cut OFF after the nre
broke out, and the inmates rushed
panicstricken through the smoke ana
heat, seeking an avenue OF escape
Baffled In this, they sought the win
dows and hurled themselves headlong
to the ground.
Cora Bryant, who was sick in bed
on the fourth floor, is missing and Is
believed to have been burned to death.
All the dead and injured, with few ex-
ceptions, are negroes from southern
states. Among the injured are Miss
Eleanor Moore lwhite) Of Chicago, a
preceptress, who was fatally hurt, and
Bertha Morford of Chicago, who also
will die.
