HIS CHRISTMAS SURPRISE.
How a Wall Street Employe Was Re-
warded for Years Of Faith
full Service.

In large New York business insti-
tuition there was an emplOye whose
Christmas gift had the saving grace Of
Individual consideration. He was a
bookkeeper, nearly 40 years in har-
ness, and he had been overlooked in
former years of fairness in Wall street,
except Tor a customary and unvarying
$40 gold piece, says the Detroit Free
Press. Several days before Christmas
with rumors Of an unprecedented flood
OF good fortune. The old bookkeeper
tried to keep calm, but his hopes rao
riot, and the day before Christmas
found him in nervous furry. He
saw his fellow employees called into
the cashiers Office one by one, each re-
turning with a sealed envelope The
bookkeeper waited for his summons,
but it came not, says the Worlds
Work. Even the Office boy emerged,
biting new gold pieces to test them,
and the roll was complete an hour be-
fore the bCokAeeper summoned cour-
age to send in an inquiry whether a

Mr.. Blank, and whether an envelope
Lad been overlooked. The answer
was:
There is no envelope for Mr. Blank,
bat the president wishes to see him
! for moment"
The bookheeper saw only one inter-
| probation. This meant his discharge
for failing efficiency. He fairly tot
ten ed in,o the sanctum, pit1ui figure
of panic fear.
Sit down, Mr.. Blank said the
president. II have omitted your name
in the list of Christmas rewards for
faithful service, and I regret that
the bank will have to find anOthe:
man to fill your position after to-mor~
row. Compose yourself, sir, tears are
undignified in this Office. You should
know better after being here for so
long term of service. Don't go.
have few words more to say before
you leave. The directors have decided
to retire you on full pay for the rest
of your life, and the years salary will
be paid to you in advance. This does
not establish a ruinous precedent, for
employees with 80 years of faithful
service to their credit are not sprin-
killed. very plentifully through Wall

THE "BLUE CHRISTMAS"
A Little Incident That Occurred in
the Childhood Of Miss Frances
Willard.

Among the beautiful and tender
memories Of the happy childhood
which RANGES Willard always counted
life was that of the blue Christmas"
Times had been hard that year, and
although actual want had not visited
the prairie home, there was no money
for gifts; and to the father, i'll with
ague, things looked dark and gloomy.
But the children were not sick and
they did not know discouragement;
Christmas had always brought it's gifts
before, why should it iail now? So
the two girls hung up their stockings,
and the brother put his book-strap on
the front door-knob.
Of course the gifts came. When in
all their lives had their mother ever
failed them? The next morning the
bOOk-strap held POllok's Course OF
Time" and each stocking contained a
few little sea shells long treasured by
the mother, an artificial flower and
false curl, relics of fashion OF Mrs.
Wizards younger days.
Poor, pathetic gifts they sound to
us, but to the happy, healthy-hearted
little trio they were all that could be
! desired, says the Youths Companion.
AS for entertainment, what could be
more full of winter delight than going
to the woods and dragging home great
branches for the Christmas fire? TO
Frances Willard the woman, looking
hoo 1y ho fh0co
flames still shone win their old ra-
dance.
1--WE thought it was great fun,' she
i wrote, but father called it his blue
Christmas"
There are always, and always must
be, those who dwell upon the shadow
side of the Christmas joy; not only
! the very poor-to them more and more
each year warm hearts and eager
hands are sending the gladness-b
the men and women of narrow means
whose hard toll wins them no margin
for luxuries. or pleasures. Ones heart
must always be tender for the women
who have nothing to give at Christmas
time.
! Does not Miss Wizards memory OF
| her happy Christmas bring a message
Of hope to those whose purses are
empty? Children are the happy pos
! SCISSORS of two magic powers wn1cn
those of older years too often lose
freshness of imagination and keen
zest for life. A tiny homemade pres
ent and holiday atmosphere, IT 1t DO
created by nothing more than a
Christmas pie, will make the day a
shining one in the child's memory.
