HIS CHRISTMAS "NIxIE."
The Experience of a Post Office Clerk
at the Holiday Season.

The Mike" clerk-the one to whom
goes all mail with insufficient or illeg-
ible addresses-took from his desk in
quiet corner of the post Office a tiny,
rumpled envelope.
Il never came across a Mike that
was addressed to anyone l knew ex-
cept this one. Last Christmas the let
tiers began to pile in as usual, adj
dressed to Santa Claus. l reckon l
get hundred every year. On Christ
mas eve l was working late, and was
very sad and lonely here in my cor
ner. There was great rush at the
other windows of the office, and the
mails were loaded with Christmas
gifts and greetings. A merry crowd
rushed through the corridors and
laughter sounded all around, but a
great shadow of sorrow rested over
me, and my eyes burned as / bent over
my work. Finally the messenger
brought me the last few Mikes of the
day, and laid them ON my desk.
took up the first one mechanically.
Attached to it was a note from Carrier
No. "a:
This was given me by a little girl
at 302 Walnut street.
MY blood tingled when l read it,
for that was my own home. The en-
velope was a small one, addressed to

Dear Santa Claus: We are very sad
at our home this year, and l don't want
you to bring me anything. Little Charlie
my brother went up to Heaven last week.
and all l want you to do when you come to
my house is to take his toys to him. 1

ney, his hobby horse, and train and every
thing He will be lost up in Heaven with
out them, specially his horse He always
enjoys riding 1t so much. So you just
take them to him, and you needn't mind
leaving anything to me. If you could give
papa something that would make him
stop crying all the time, it would be the
best you could do for me I hear him tell
mamma that only eternity could cure him.
Could you give him some of that? BE sure
to take the things to Charlie. and l will
be your good little girl. MARIAN"
In the silence that followed the read
ing of the letter the Mike clerk put
the tiny envelope back in his desk,
says the Youths Companion. When
he did speak there was no sadness in
his voice.

FIXING CHRISTMAS DAY.
Why the Holiday Is Always Cele-
brated on the Twenty-Fifth
of December.

There are no definite illusions in the
writings of any of the disciples of
Christ as to the date of His birth, nor
has there ever been produced proof
of any character as to the exact period
in the year when Christ was born.
There are, very true, occasional refer
ences to the event in the Scriptures,
indicating that the nativity occurred in
the winter season.
The institution of the anniversary
dates back to the second century OF
Christendom, and it has been since
uniformly celebrated by nearly all
branches of the Christian church with
appropriate rejoicings and ceremonies.
The frequent, and somewhat heated
controversies, however, relative to the
date of Christ's birth early in the
fourth century led Pope julius l. to
order a thorough investigation of the
subject by the learned theologians and
historians of that period, which result
ed in an agreement upon December %
and that decision seemed to have sc
settled all disputes that that date was
universally accepted except by tbs
Greek church, says the American
Queen While this date was never
changed, the reckoning of it is made
according to the Gregorian calendar
which was adopted in the latter par
of the sixteenth century, and upor
which computations of time in nearly
all civilized nations have since rested

RENOVATOR
The Wonderful New Remedy
That Reaches the System,
Always Hits the Dis
eaSed Spot

Anyone can understand the principle
upon which SYSTEM RENOVATION,
the greatest meo ical discovery of the
past half century, is founded. If man
had glass outside so that a doctor could
look through and see just where the seat
of a disease was, how successful his
treatment could be. Well System Reno
vator is designed always to hit the dis
eased spot. 1t contains in its formula
"a powerful ingredient for every vital
organ, so that when taken it goes to
every part, stimulates and regulates
every function. Acting on all, it must
certainly touch the diseased spot. No
matter where the disease lies it will
reach it and when it does, as it contains
a specific for that particular organ or
function, it will act on it, and immediate
relief will follow. This is where it differs
from any other remedy on earth; this is
why it cures where all other treatments
fail. The theory is perfect, the results
astonishing. The fame of DIR. MERROW,
its dicoverer, established as one of the
greatest benefactors of the human race
