THE WONDERFUL
AUTO OF
SANTA CLAUS
Illustrated by Resale Arthur.

Nellie and Olaf stood in front of
their funny little round house and
snuggled down into their fur rubes.
The wind blew cuttingly across the ice
bound sea, and the wide, white waste
of land.
Hush" said Nellie, IL hear bells"
mo, you don't. It's the wind-no,
it isn't. 1t isn't, Neltje!" cried Olaf
excitedly, but 1 never heard such a
sound"
On the air rose a buzzing like that
of millions of bees. or like the whir-
ring of the wings of wild geese as they
fly over the ice-floes.
Olaf and Nellie clung to each other.
"Oh, what is it? what is it?" they
cried.
Just then around a curve came a
strange, terrible thing, all red and
brass, with a great blazing eye in
front. and Olaf and Neltje fled Shrek
ing into their hut.
Then they heard a voice,
Merry Christmas to all.
And to all. goodnight"
IT'S Santa" whispered little Nellie.
Olaf crept to the round hole that
served for a doorway.

back again in great fright. IT'S an
awful thing with big round eyes that

the best of it was, that all his dreams
always came true, which, you wiz
agree, is not the case with most
dreams. But then Nicholas only
dreamed of collecting money from his
poor debtors and selling them out and
foreclosing mortga ges-delightful and
ennobling things to dream about.
While he still lay dreaming happily
a girl went tip-toeing downstairs. She
was IN before the dawn because she
was the kitchen maid, and she had to
make the fire and prepare everything
for the cook
Maybe you don't think she was poor.
oh, of course not! She got UP in the

ate scraps from the boarders' tables
because she was rich. You believe
that, don't you.
Well, we won't fool you. She was so
very very poor that she had never had
Christmas in all her twelve wears of
life. But. unlike Nicholas Hardstile,
she believed with all her heart in Santa
Claus just the same.
She peeked into Nicholas Hardstile's
room as she went down and happened
to see two red socks hung up on the
string. And she thought, of course,
that he had hung them up for Christ

Without stopping to reflect, she hur-

Southern Plum Pudding-This pud-
ding differs much from the time
ponored English one, in that it is
steamed in a mould instead of boiled
in a cloth or bag, and is somewhat
more digestible while not a whit less
toothsome The recipe given here,
which was secured from a Virginian,
will be found sufficient for fourteen
nersons, and can either be cooked in
one large mould, or, if desired, the
mixture placed in smaller ones. 1t
will keep we'll and indefinitely, and,
like fruit cake, is improved by age.
If the family be small it is well to
use the small moulds. and to reheat
as required.
Weigh 1 pound OF raisins, pound
of currants, pound of suet, u pound
of citron, pound of grated bread and
~ pound of brown sugar. Stone and
chop the raisins, clean and dry the
currants, chop the suet fine, sprinkling
with a little flour, and cut the citron
into thin strips. Measure l even tea
spoonful of each of ground cannamon
and nutmeg and u teaspoonful each
of cloves and allspice. Put all the
fruits into bowl and mix tightly with
a handful of flour. Add the sugar
and spices, the chopped suet and the
bread, and mix all thoroughly. Beat
S eggs until very light and mix them
with p pint of brandy. Pour into the
fruit mixture and stir until we'll blend
ed. Pack in a creased mould and
steam for six hours. Turn out Of the
mould and decorate with blanded and
split almonds. For Christmas day stick
a sprig of holly in the top and place
Jumps of sugar saturated with brandy
on the dish, thus encircling the pud-
ding. Ignite these and send to the
table surrounded by flames. Serve
with brandy sauce.
French Glaze Plum Pudding-One of
the most delicious variations of the
Christmas dessert is a frozen pudding
or cream, which includes the tradi-
tlonal fruits. To make a sufficient
quantity to fill a two-quart mould,
prepare a rich chocolate ice cream as
follows:
Allow / quart of cream, 6 eggs, q
pound Of sugar and ounces of un-
sweetened chocolate. Separate the
whites from the eggs, beat the yolks
to cream, then add the sugar and
beat again. Whisk the whites to a
stiff froth; beat them into the yolks,
and mix with the cream. Break the
chocolate into bits and stand over
kettle of boiling water until it is dis
solved. Add to the cream and cook
the whole in double boiler until it
slightly coats a knife blade, dipped
into it. Strain and stand aside to be-
come cold. Prepare a scant half pound
of seeded raisins and currants, mix
and boil them until plump. Add
enough thin slices of citron, candied
cherries and apricots to make a gen.
erous three-quarters of a pound. Cover
them with sherry and let stand until

side of the library table.

gravely.
Miss Carols brows were drawn in a
sudden frown, the corners of her
mouth dropped in an odd little grimace.

composed of 1854 days-and Christmas"
Didn't the shops have what you

ces an Interesting DiseoS cry.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Prof. Gary Nathan Calkins, in lee
ture before the Sigma Chi Society of
Columbia University, told of what he
asserts to be the discovery Of the germ
Of smallpox in fish. He illustrated his
lecture with lantern slide engagements
of pictures of the parasite which, he
says is the producer of the disease.
1t is held that in this discovery may
also be disclosed the insiduous origin
OF other diseases, such as scarlet fever,
in which eruptions of the skin are
among the most conspicuous manifes-
tations.
Prof Calkins Is one of the leading
biologists of this country. He told of
his researches into the lower order of
life and produced wonderful photo
graphs of his alleged smallpox germ
in various stages of development.
From a Long Island fish hatchery

Prof. Calhns, he said with the state
ment that they had died of some puz-
cling epidemic. The fish were COW

found in these LESSONS and from their
propagation protozoa were developed
that were almost Identical with those
produced by cultures OF smallpox les
ions.

of a State President of

It was neat little cottage in q.

father, mother and their little boy,
scarcely six years of age.
At the time of my visit to the town
the father, who was a most gentle,
hospitable man, had formed the hab-

had Joined the w. C. I. u, that had
been recently organized, and with q,
sad face and a determination border
ing on desperation, she had lavished
her energies on saving the boy.
She and the little boy, each IA
ing the white ribbon bow, attended
the temperance meeting, and in re-
Spouse to her pressing invitation 1
accompanied her home to tea.
She clutched in her hand one of the
leaflets that had been distributed at
the meeting. This leaflet contained
the statement that saloons can no
more be run without boys than saw
mills without logs. Whose boys,
yours or mine?" she asked.
Nearing the home she leaned yer
and handed the leafet to the child,
saying to him, in a low tone: "Give
