We have enjoyed ourselves very much and will never forget your kindness and the happy Christmas day we have spent with you"
 Charley quickly spoke up:
 We are coming back some time to see you, because you have been aw. fully good to us.'
 Little Teddy said, thoughtfully: T wish we could stay here all the time. s,The fire feels so good. and there are lots of things oeat. and like you, too. Mamma was kind to us when she was home. but people faren't kind any more When Charlie tries 10 sell his papers the big boys get ahead of him. and won't let him sell any.

 Daring children, do you think would send you back to that cold, cheerless place, when God has given me this home and has sent you to me to enjoy it?"
 He took the little fellow to his arms again, telling them how his heart was acEins for somebody 10 love. If you will stay with me you shall have home, friends. love. education, and all your needs supplied.

 since He gave so much to us, we ought to give to others. And not al. ways to those who have plenty. but Co the ones who do not have very much p 'Is that why you are so kind to us?' asked Charlie.
 T am kind to you for many reasons When Jesus grew up to be a man He said: Inasmuch as ye have done 1t unto one of the least of these. My brethren yc have done it unto Me And another reason, it is lonely to have so much all by ones self. And find that the moro I give the more have to give. But we will go to din ner now. since we have another en- Sagement after this. Let us bow our heads and thank the Giver of all these good things"

 How they did enjoy that dinner. Teddy declared that the turkey vas as big as an eagle.

KANSAS CORN.
So High Row That Farmers Use Tree
Climbers to Examine It.

EmpoIia (kan} Correspondence Kansas City Star.
A story printed a few days ago in the
Star that Missouri had corn ten feet high

Kansas farmers who read 1t. In defense of
Kansas corn big stories can be found read
iIy Lutte Newton, who owns several farms
along the Neosho, northeast of town. said
today:
Missouri may be able to brag on raising
mules with ears ten feet long. but the fact
that II has corn ten feet high is not re-
markable. Kansas can give Missouri cards
and spades and beat all its corn stories.
Corn fourteen feet high out along the Neo-
sho is not causing any particular comment
among the farmers. 1t is still growing. 1t
will reach eighteen feet before II natures
That is not an uncommon height for Kan
sas corn in favorable years"
Most of the early corn has been laid
by" and has reached the roasting-ear
stage The unusually good corn year has
revived the oid-time corn stories of the
Jack -and-the-Bean-Stalk type. The other

and set of harness at an Emporia store. in
