These great musicians are always eccen-
trio, you know. I heard him tell father
that this is an anniversary he does not
like to spend alone.
At eleven o'clock the hostess seated
her guests in a circle, saying, "Now we
will turn down the lights and tell ghost
stories till midnight" The young people
fell in with the spirit of fun, and ghosts
walked, hobgobblins shrieked and ghouls
moaned, till the more timid begged for
mercy.
1t was almost twelve o'clock when a
new voice suddenly broke into a moment
airy pause. Everyone looked up to see
the musician standing in the door.
"My friends" he said, "my story is
not of the spirits Of the unseen world
it is of lad who once, on a night like
this, left home and friends and went
out into the wide world, with Music as
the priestess who presided at the altar
where burned the fires of his ambition.
Shipwreck, weary sickness and deliv-
erance, a miscarried letter returned to
its writer long afterward-all these came
to the lad, and when at last, overcome
by the deadly 'heimweh,' he turned to-
ward his home, he found it empty-the
loved ones gone. The years have passed
and the lad is man, but the father and
the mother he has not found, nor does
he expect to greet them again until the
New Year of heaven dawns for him, as
he believes it has already dawned for
them. So, when the midnight comes /
play each New Years Eve as las the
lad played on that last night long ago
my message to my dear ones"
The clock on the mantel warned for
twelve and the musician turned to the
piano and played again simply and Low
ngly Pleyel's hymn, singing as in the
long ago the beautiful words his mother
loved.
AS The last note died away in the quiet
room the tower clock began to strike,
but was drowned by the music Of the
chimes. A THRILL ran through the hushed
circle as they recognized the strain they
had just heard, but the musician arose
with a mighty cry, 'Mein Water" and
ran out into the night, guided by the
music of the bells.
When the old bell-ringer shut the door
he could not see, for the tears that blind
ed him, the hurrying figure on the pave
ment A moment later he was gathered
close to the heart that yearned for him,
and together, in the opening Of the glad
New Year, they went out from tH
shadow of the old bell tower, home to
Elspeth, whose mother-heart came near
to bursting. with the Joy of sons hanaa-
coining.-Ths Housekeeper.

He fitted past corners and whizzed up the

He crippled old people and stayed not to

How badly they Jared or learn whom they

Beneath his broad tires. as onward he

He scattered his gifts while he sped

Christmas Hints.

A simple and tasteful homemade pic
ture frame may be constructed from
common gas pipe cut into suitable length
and tied together at the corners with
shoe strings. A neat paper weight may
be made by wrapping half a brick In
paper such as butchers use and tying Il
with red tape. A dainty towel rack
may We fabricated from baseball bat
and two cigar boxes. Shellac the boxes
and sandpaper the bat. An ordinary
cobblestone hand painted with lampblack
and household ammonia makes an excel
lent door weight. A novel pipe rack for
fastidious smokers may be made from a
small strip Of one-inch plank. Bore holes
in it for the stems of the pipes to pass
through. A dried muskmelon shell makes
an attractive tobacco jar.

Christmas Ghost HUNTING

The custom of chasing spooks on the
night before Christmas comes from Ire
land. One difficulty with making the
thing go In America is that our houses
are scarcely old enough to make good
ghost repositories. A real haunted house
should be sufficiently old to be something
OF ghost itself. Like violins and whis-
ky, spooky atmosphere improves with
age.
A ghost hunt should be carried on at
midnight, of course. II no specter be
found, an active imagination should have
no difficulty in conjuring up one of It's
own. The only way to account for the
fact that ghosts abound more at Christ
mas than at other times is that the
Christmas season is very attractive one
on earth and the spooks come back to
enjoy its good cheer.
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1905-12-20

homA They were only waiting now
he and Elspeth-for the summons which
should call them 20 the happy reunion
where there would be no sad good-bys
and hearts forget how to ache.
The first stroke of midnight sounded
and an instant later the bells pealed
forth, while the old man sang with trem-
bling lips and voice that no one heard
but God-as he had sung every New
Year since that one:
Children Of the Heavenly King
As ye journey sweetly sing,
Sing your SaSiour's worthy praise
Glorious In his works and ways.
Then, as the last reluctant echo died
away, he stumbled down the narrow
stairs toward home and Elspeth.
Not far from the tower stood a man
sion, where great throng had assem-
bied to watch the old year out and the
new year in. Silken draperies rustled,
jewels cleaned, music rippled on the
perfumed air, and happy voices rang
sweet and high. But every sound was
silenced, and bright eyes grew dim in
the mood OF melody which suddenly
poured about the gay throng They
crowded toward the music room, trying
TO catch glimpse of the player. Those
who were near saw a. slender man, with
fair curling hair brushed back from a
brow as pure as woman's. Quietly he
sat before the grand piano, playing with
out the slightest effort such masterful
music as had hushed the listeners to
awe-struck silence.
"Who is hep" was the question passed
from one to another.
He is friend of fathers" the
hostess told them. Father met him
abroad some years ago, and by helping
him in search for some missing friends.
won his heart. Father invited him here
for the holidays this year, but he de-
clined the invitation, then this evening
suddenly and unexpectedly appeared.

they hear sound of trumpets or horns
outside. Then the mother says: "What
can this beT" and opens the door. AS
she does so, number of very strange
looking figures come in-amongst them
one person dressed in white, with wings,
and a great basket in his hand, and an
other in black, with a bunch of rods.
God bless you ALL" says the figure
in white. "Are there any good children
herep'
"Are there any bad children hereY'
asks the black figure.
"My children are all pretty good"
the mother answers.
II am glad to hear It," says the white
visitor. II have gifts here for good chill
dren.'
"Stopw the black figure cries; ''they
are not good. Hans struck his brother
yesterday. Gretchen does not know her
catechism, and Petra broke piece from
the Sunday cake as it sat to cool on the
window sill. will leave rods to whip
them with"
The children begin TO cry. The white
figure spreads out his hands and says:
"The little ones will be better next
year." Then he takes one Of the rods
from the black visitor and drives him
out. The visitors play on the instru-
ments they have brought, and the whole
family sing Christmas hymns. The an
gelic visitor then empties his basket on
the table, and leaves there a great num-
Der of iced cakes, gilded nuts, ginger
bread horses, and wooden toys, and then
departs. The mother tells the children
to be good all the year. lest the rod
should really be left for them on the
next Christmas, and all have supper and
20 to bed.
Christmas day is a happy one for
most children all over the Christian
world, and l hope that because this is
so they will remember that this day is
kept because eighteen hundred and eigh'
ty-0ne years ago Jesus, who said "SuffeI
little children, and forbid them not, to
come unto me, for of such is the king.

mothers arms.-Mary Kyle Dallas in

THE CHRlsTMAs TREE
according to Tommy

The trees in our orchard and down By the
well
In summer time give us our cider and
jell;
The apples and peaches, the ounces and
The plums can pick from my window up
stairs,
All grow in the summer; and oh! It's a
treat
To have all the nice Juicy fruit you can
eat
But none Of the summer stuff satisfies me
Like that which we pick from the Christ
mas tree!
The fruit OF the summer is good In it's
place
With stone.bruisy feet and with tan on
your face
It's fine to. climb up where the robbins
A nice yellow apple all mellow and round.
And take 1t away from the robber so bold
While ne and his mate fly around you and
It's fun at the time, but 1t never could be
As nice as the fun Of the Christmas tree.
One time remember my bad cousin Jim
Dared Charley and me to climb out On
limb .,.
No bigger than one of my thumbs; and
Cause Jimmy was calling me "Sissy-boy
kid"
The limb-,well, you're certain what hap
pened, guess,
And jim got a whipping; cause big sister
Bess
Told Jim's pa and ma what happened to
me-
I never fell out Of Christmas tree.
The Christmas tree grows in a night, and
1t bears
Things lots and lots nicer than apples and
pears
I'VE seen on its branches doll-babies and
drums
And steam-cars and soldiers and big sugar
plums;
I've gathered new mietens and picture
books, too,
Right Off from the ben.-oyer twig where
they grew,
And candles grow lighted there. so you can
see
Fore daylight the things on the Christmas
tree!
Sometimes in the parlor sometimes in the
hall,
Sometimes in the dining -room-best place
of all
The Christmas-tree grows with It's wonder
full fruit,
And sometimes 1t has a pine-box for a
rootl
The funny thing is that oftentimes find
Right there what for weeks had had on
my mind
And always on Christmas. who wants to
see me
Had better look under the Chrlstmas-tree
