She could not speak for awhile,
and her wonder grew as she saw

So they all decided to dress the
Tinman as Santa Claus, and have
him take the tree and presents to
Dorothy and her friends. the good
little Munchkins.
The sleigh was soon loaded with
all these pretty things, with the
Christmas tree sticking up in front,
held by the Tinman, who looked
very funny IN his new furs and
long white whiskers.
Jack wished 10 go along to see
the fun, so, with many thanks they
bade the good little fairy man
goodbye, and with a shout they
were off at a lightning pace across

One Kind Of leoaey

wealthy men sometimes play grim
Jokes on those who are friendly to
them for the money there Is In 1t. A
few years ago rich man OF Ohio died
and left mysterious iron chest In the
care OF his estate. BY the terms OF
the VIII II was not to be opened for
two years. Then It's contents were To
be distributed TO those of his friends
he had not remembered In his will.
Any one he had remembered In his
VIII was not to share In the contents
of the chest.
When the estate was settled Il
seemed to many to be less valuable
than they had calculated. by the time
the two years had passed many who
had pretended to be friends To the
wealthy man were sure that the chest
contained something extremely valu-
able and that they were to share In
II. A crowd Of sharp faced. avaricious
looking men gathered In the Office OF
the trustee the day the chest was TO
be opened.
II was n heavy chest, and In an in
ner compartment was bundle OF
slender envelopes. sealed and tied
with every evidence of value. On
each envelope wns written: ITO be
distributed to my selfcsteemed
friends II there are more than
enough. every man who wishes sec
ond helping is to be given another"
Those who were most greedy did
not stop to open their envelopes. but
formed In line to receive another.
Some opened theirs and disappeared
from the Office, for this is what they
found written on n legal sheet OF
paper:
'Do not wait for aid from others
and you viii always have enough to
satisfy your own desires"
