CHRISTMAS TREE FEATURE.
Dancing Dolls Above Par1or Decor
alton Produces Pretty Effect
for Holiday.

Dancing Christmas fairies always en-
nance the children's delight in the
Christmas tree, and once made can be
used year after year, says Woman's
Home Companion. Buy up dozen or
more of five and ten-cent dolls, and to
add to the variety have among the num-
Der some Japanese and colored dolls.
Dress these to represent fairies in bright
hues of spangled gauze, tarlatan or It's
sue paper, and literally sprinkle their
hair and garm ents with diamood-du
powder. Each doll should be provided
with dainty pair of fairy wings made
from spangled tissue paper and fastened
to the body by means of concealed wires.
These wires should be coiled to obtain
motion in the wings, and nothing better
can be used than the fine spiral coils
that come out of WORKOUT, Unrestricted
brooms. The least motion will set this
spiral to quivering, causing the wings
to move as if in flight. In Ike manner
use the spiral wire to attach the dolls in
lowering positions over and around the
tree. The effect is magical; every foot
step causes jar enough to start the dolls
dancing and circling above ard around
the tree, as if invisible fairies OF the air
had come down to join him in the
Christmas glee.

cents a pound, and the other delica-
cies in proportion.
Last year the Salvation Army fed
100000 poor in our large cities, and
over 100000 was collected for his
purpose by means of the army's pot, now
a familiar sight at this season to
every dweller in New York, Chicago,
Amounts varying from one cent to
$500 are dropped into the pots. So
many pennies are contributed in New
York and Chicago that machines are
employed in counting them.
While the Salvation Army dinners
are by far the most ambitious of all
dinners to the poor, those given to
newsboys by their patrons and the
meals spread for the delectatiOn of
their constituents by the political dis
trict leaders of New York's East aide
are not to be passed over lightly.
That is a poor and small dinner, in
deed, which does not cost $1,000, and
the Sullivans, of Bowery fame, have
been in the habit of spending sew
eral thousand dollars for turkey and
trimmings.
Many millionaires there are also
who are noted for their gifts at this
time of the year to cheer the poor. A
big wholesale poultry dealer in New
York has had one of the country'S
leading millionaires for regular GUS
toner for the last six Christmases.
and each season he places an order
for 500 turkeys-$1 200 for this one
item alone. John E. Andrus, mayor
of Yonkers, N. Y, and owner of $780,
100000 worth of property, gives away
more than a quarter of million dol
lars to charity every year, and by far
the greatest part of this fortune is
distributed at this season. The DOOR
of Yonkers always have a merry
Christmas, because of Mr.. Andrus.
Last year he sent out 1900 dinners
and gifts by the wagonload for the
children.
In this connection we must also
take into consideration the money
sent to Europe by Uncle Sans new
citizens just before Christmas. It
has amounted to about 100000 year.

thousand waters all told-and in the
light of the figures already set forth,
their share of the millions in the
Christmas box certainly amounts to
several tens of thousands of dollars.
Even if each waiter only got five
dollars, the sum total would be $45,-
900. But it is undoubtedly above that,
for even the food singers" in the
"bean shops" and 'hasheries" say
that nearly everyone remembers
them; and as each waiter of this
grade has to look after several score
of customers in the course of day,
the nickels and dimes soon turn into
dollars.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stom-
ach Trouble.
Q. What is the beginning of sickness?

@. What is the beginning of sickness?
A. Constipation.
O. What is Constipation?
A. Failure of the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where it decays and poisons the en-
tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis, stomach and bowel trou-
BILE at the present time.

A. Neglect to respond to the call of ma
ture promptly. Lack of exercise Excess
sive brain work. Mental emotion and i'm

A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is ARE you constipated?'' That
is the secret.

perience.

CHRISTMAS GIVING

CLASSES IN AMERICA.
The Rich as a Rule Give Generously
of Their Vast Means-Vast
Sums Sent to Europe by
Emigrants.

nral impulse, the millionaire, banker
broker, merchant and the wage work.
er remember their less fortunate
brother man. The man who would
undertake even to approximate the
millions given away at this time Of
year would set himself an impossible
task, but the following information
may aid one to form some idea.
The present-day custom of en-
ployers of giving money gifts to their
employees undoubtedly had its origin
among bankers and brokers; but it
has gradually spread until now the
employer who does not distribute
Christmas envelopes to make glad the
men and women who work for him
is the exception that proves the rule.
In New York's financial center,
Wall street, the year 1901 is still well
remembered for the great sums OF
money given by the fnanciers, bank
ers and brokers to their thousands of
employees; it was the record year for
good cheer. For instance, it is a
well-known fact that the firm of ]. P.
Morgan & Co. gave to it's employees
alone upward of half million dollars.
Every clerk received an amount
equivalent to his years salary, while
the heads of departments had checks
amounting from $4,000 to $4,000 hand
ed to them with the firms best wishes
for Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year."
But while the gifts have not been
so large since, no man who finds mis-
living in Wall street suffers for want
of generosity on the part of his en-
ployer at this season. For years, no
matter what the condition of the ;aar-
ket, one well-known broker has given
$10O in gold to each of his office boys,
twice that sum to few of the clerks.
and $500 to the rest, the telegrapners
and all others in his employ. All told,
this broker drops something like $10,-
900 into the Christmas box.
Although wage-earners in other
marts Of trade probably, as rule,

do not fare as well as this, few there
are who are entirely forgotten.
A certain big department store in
one of the eastern cities has given
each of its 1000 odd employees five dol
lars apiece for several years past. The
amount is not graded according to the
employees position and Importance
The members of the firm take the
ground that they give the ive-dollar
bills simply as a reminder of the good
will they bear their workers, and so
the head of the silk department is not
entitled to gift one 1.-THE bigger than
that received by the humblest package
wrapper in the store.
For some reason or other, five dol
lars has come to be looked on, out
side of banking and financial circles,
as about the right sum to be given
to employees. Inquiry among Office
workers in the sky-scrapers and the
sales-people in the retail and whole
sale stores has substantiated this
statement.
But many firm does not limit it's
Christmas box contributions to those
who work for it directly. This is par
ticularly true of concerns with of
fees in the skyscrapers. The eleva-
tor men, the superintendent, the win
dow cleaners, the scrub women, all are
taken care Of And the amount of
money they get is a caution. In one
of the lesser skyscrapers of New York
the three elevator men, when they
counted up their gifts on last Christ
mas eve, found that they had received
a little ever 500 apiece. These men
had put up box, artistically painted
with holly designs, in each elevator.
Quite a lot of small change was
dropped into them, but more was
given them direct by the tenants, in
sums varying from 81 to $25.
The Christmas pickings of this trio
are small, though, when compared
with that of the men who run eieva-
tors in the great Office buildings that
have several thousand tenants instead
of several hundred, as in the trio's
case.
Another class of men which reaps
harvest uuIluS OuTlSlIldS week Is
the walters. In the downtown res
taurants of New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago, where only lunch is
served, the waiter who does not clear
SIS over and above his usual per-
duisites. feels sure that there is no
good will toward men" on earth. Yet
his holiday tips would be regarded
as mere p:ttance by the dignifed
automaton who attends to the stom-
ach's wants in the swell hotels zip

his way in seemingly never-ending
stream. For your millionaire at din

"Not till Friday, you wooden-headed

Thank you, sir" said Jorkins, bow
ing low; and then proceeding with
deadly calm: 'T'll wait till Friday at
noon, and If you haven't settled up
by then I'll put you in the court; and
you may put that in your pipe and
smoke it! Good night"
Again Jack passed into the snow
clad street, where boy who had been
playfully lurking behind lamp post
flung a SNOWFALL at him >sfith such dex-
terity that it knocked his hat off. The
happy child ran away, and Jack in a
fury ran after him, and fell over.
"Gad!" he muttered to himself, as
he picked himself up and went back
for the hat, cts fine thing to have

The prospects of his Christmas were
beginning to be little gloomy. "Aha!
Dibbs, the tobacconist! He'll do it,"
Off he started again, looking dingier
than ever, for his hat was denied, and
the snow and dust had stained his
coat.

change of manner "There is a little

"Well, perhaps dozen; the rest you

which 1 can't change till the banks
reopen. Would you mind lending me
flyer just to take me over Christ
mas?"
"Take you over Christmas?" echoed
Mr.. Dibbs, blankly, and assuming an
aspect so very similar to that of Mr..
Jorkins in response to the same re-
quest, that Jack almost laughed.
Take you over Christmas? Excuse
me a-sayin' of it, but you'll be taken
over to the police station if you come

But Jack had not waited. Once
more he stood in the cold, cold street
with $4,000 in his pocket that, for all
the use it was to him, he might just
as we'll light his pipe with.
However, he had made up his mind
to trouble no one else in the matter;
ing six stale two-cent buns on the
way; and upon these, and tea, he made
his breakfast, dinner and tea that
Christmas day and the day following.
On the Friday he went to the bank
feeling pretty cheap, opened an ac-
count, and was able to arrange with
the manager for sufficient immediate
accommodation to settle up with Mrs.
Steinhauser, Mr.. Jorkins and Mr..
Dibbs; a task which he performed
with so much good humor that they,
one and all, regretted their suspicious
of two days before. Drayton is now
a famous man and his novels are read
far and wide; but he always says that
the quaintest experience of his whole
life was his starving his way through

pocket.
