At the afternoon services in the
Cedar City tabernacle on Sunday,
Jan. IA, Elder M. ID. Higbee was
called to the stand, and made very
timely talk on the subject of the
alarming prevalence of profanity in
the city. Mr.. Higbae said that re-
Gently he had occasion to go down
town after nightfall, and he came
across a crowd of young boys of from
ten to fifteen years of age, and that
he had never heard worse language in
his life than he heard those young
boys make use Of on that occasion.
He thought to himself that unless
the mothers OF those boys heard the
language for themselves that those
boys were making use of they could
not be made to believe that their sons
would be guilty of such profanity.
The speaker believed that much of
this evil is attributable TO these
young boys being allowed to roam the
streets at night, and he earnestly adj
vised parents to not allow their chill
dren to indulge in this pernicious
practice.

elbow are your lungss" is the all
important query in Cedar this week,
which has been brought into prom
inence by new and novel "lung
tester' recently installed by the
Palace Drug company. The instru-
ment has been the means of develop
ing the alarming condition of the
lights of many of.the cigarette fiends,
it being proven beyond doubt that
many such lack the power to register
zero on the instrument. But Others
besides smokers are found to be weak
chested, and our reporter was inter
ested in noticing that a prominent
physical educator had great difficulty
in accomplishing a feat apparently
easy for many weaker appearing men.
We trust this will prove warning
to cigarette smokers, and that in
future they will abstain from this
destructive and pernicious habit.

A True Story of One Christmas in Old Missouri

lifted latch and saw the door open.
There stood little Marcy, her face
aglow with the cold, ner red wooden
hood tight about her head and her
eyes wide with wonderment.
Go awayl Go away, quick, childl"
shouted old Hugo, as he dropped a
bunch Of silver handles into a half
made casket and ran towards her.
But little Marcy stood her ground.
In fact, she stepped quickly inside and
closed the door behind her.
Didn't / tell you TO go away from
herei said old Hugo again, in a rnilder
tone, for he saw the awe-stricken face
OF the child and he realized that his
secret was his no longer.
Let me stay, grandpa" she said at
last. "I couldn't find you anywhere
and so I came i'm here"
But you shouldn't come in here.
Don't you see what I am making?"
Eyes, grandpa. It's collins. But I
don't care for them. They took my
papa and my mamma away in boxes
Just like them"
"Bless the dear childi" said old Hugo,
and he clasped her In his arms and
put her on his work bench, where she
watched him for a long while, saying
nothing.
After that the child made pilgrimages
familiar with all the belongings of the
place. He gave her scraps of the white
Innings with which to make dresses for
her doll and he made doll house for
her in one corner of the shop; with the
pretty, bright silver screws for door
knobs. a silver handle for each side and
a piece of the black velvet across the
top. Grandma objected strenuously to
all this. declaring it would depress the
child and give her sorrowful thoughts.
But old Hugo laughed at her fears.
And you would have agreed with him
il you could have heard the fairy
stories he told her as he worked and
the childish laughter that rang through
the dreary place.
SO the winter passed by and the
springtime came and old Hugo went
less often TO his coffin shop. The epi-
demic of sickness had apparently
passed away and work on the farms
called into busy activity outdoors not
only all the neighborhood but old Hugo
as well. But as the spring began,
grandma began to notice that little
Marcy was not well and although the
best physician was summoned and q
nurse employed and old Hugo and his
wife worked and prayed day and night
for the recovery of the child, she
passed softly away one morning just
were beginning to peep above the
earth and the air was blowing warm
and free from the southland.
Old Hugo sat dumb and dry
with the shock and sorrow of it. 1t

THE COFFIN-MAKER'S IDOL

packages which he placed carefully I'm
the sleigh and then returned for more.
Little Marcy wondered why there
should be four horses instead of "eight
tiny reindeer" but she remembered
that she had never seen any reindeer
since she had come there and she had
sublime faith that Santa Claus knew
what he was doing and that 1t was all
right. In a few moments the sleigh
was loaded and old Hugo got into It.
Then he cracked his long whip over
the lead horse. and away they all
flew like the down of a thistle"
Old Hugo made a long drive that
night. surprising many of his poor
neighbors and bringing happiness to
many a heart. 1t was midnight when
he drove quietly into his own barn
yard and put the horses away. Then
he tiptoed into the house and found
his good wife sound asleep in her rock
ing chair by the fire and little Marcy
nesting snug in her trundle bed.
It was broad daylight on Christmas
morning when the child awoke and for
a moment she lay there wondering If
Santa Claus had come back and
whether he had anything left in his
big sleigh after he had finished his
visits to all the good little girls and
boys But she had no idea that she
would be disappointed, and SO she
sprang from her bed and ran to the
big fireplace, where the back log was
sending out a smoldering glow of
warmth, and then made the house
ring with her shouts and cries for
grandma to get UP and see what Santa
Claus had brought her. Old Hugo had
been awake for some time, impatiently
waiting for this very scene, so while
little Marcy chirruped to grandma in
praise of the good old man who had
given her so many beautiful and pleas
ing things the old fellow hid his head
in the quilts and blankets and chuck
led to himself until he could stand it
no longer; so up he got and joined in
the merriment.
1t was a very merry Christmas for
little Marcy, except that in the after
noon she missed old Hugo, who was
working for dear life in his shop, and
who at sundown drove out of the yard
with spring wagon containing one
of his queer shaped. grewsome boxes.
But he returned early enough to have
a pleasant evening with grandma and
the child.
After that he had to spend a great
deal of his time in the shop for pneu-
monia and other diseases were busy
that winter. He didn't like to separate
himself SO frequently from the child,
and he thought of her all through
the short days of his toll.
But one day he had forgotten to lock
the shop door behind him, and it came
about that while in the midst of his
labors he heard the sound of the up

after little Marcy mad gone to sleep.
These nocturnal arrivals caused the
frequent appearance of a lantern and
the movement of lights in the coffin
shop so that the country folk renewed
their gossip about the "hanted" farm
and left II still further away when
compelled to go any distance beyond
IL.
One week before Christmas old Hugo
stamped into the Kitchen. shaking the
snow from his coat and making ~
great clatter. Little Marcy sat by the
fire watching the preparation of sup
per.
Mother" said the old man, 'I've
got my toys all made now for the
good little girls and boys and we'd
better be brushing up the old sleigh
and getting the bells ready to Jingle.
You know my round is going to be
longer and harder than ever this year,
as there are so many more good little
girls and boys"
The old fellow winked hard at the
good woman, who had only surmised
his plan. But Margy's eyes opened
very wide and she watched old Hugo
silently as he passed into another room
and removed his great coat. The con-
versation was not resumed, as the child
had hoped It would be, but she asked
no questions. believing that It would
spoil her chances to be inquisitive.
Christmas eve came at last 1t was
crisp, clear, beautiful moonlight
night with an inch of hardened snow
on the ground. Old Hugo had ap-
parently been very busy that day. He
was In merry mood from morning till
night, tramping from the house to the
coffin shop and back again on the
most mysterious errands, whispering
now and then to Mrs. Hugo, until the
dear old lady began to think she must
be Mrs. Santa Claus, sure enough, and
otherwise deporting himself in way
to give the keenest delight and the
highest anticipations to little Marcy.
Immediately after supper old Hugo
announced that as soon as he could
hitch up his sleigh he would start on
his rounds. Then grandma began to
bundle him up in a rude suit of skins.
gave him big pair of mittens and
handed to him a small clay pipe. AS
Marcy looked at him she readily recog-.
nized him as the Santa Claus of all the
picture books she had ever seen.
Merry Christmas to all!'' he shouted,
as he passed from the house.
Now, Marcy" said the old lady.
by the window. I'll raise the curtain
so you can see him start"
The child got into the chair and as
the moon shone brightly she could
see old Hugo when he came
around the corner of the house. sit
ting high in his old-fashioned sleigh.
He drew rein before the dismal shop
and quickly emerged with bundles and
