A LOST ILLUSION.

ny Smiths Papa.
The loss of part Of Santa Claus dis
guise at Christmas Sunday school en-
tertainment and the consequent dis
covery that "he was only a man after
all'' caused one little girl at least
acute distress.
Santa Claus was one of the cherished
ideals of Sadie's childhood, and Sadie
parted with her ideals reluctantly. She
was sure she heard the RENDERS scam
per over the roof, every Christmas eve,
and the fact that even the gas logs
were pretty tight fit for the chimney
did not dispel the illusion that somehow
Santa Claus, despite his corpulence,
managed to slip through the tiny slit
with his pack and leave presents on
tree and in stocking.
So when she saw on the Sunday
school platform his hoary head and
beard, fur trimmed coat, fat stomach
and short legs-and, above all, his pack
she greeted the familiar figure with
enthusiastic applause; Unfortunately
for Sadie's peace of mind, however, the
hoary hair and beard became entangled
In the branches Of the Christmas tree
when Santa Claus began to hang up the
contents Of his pack, and when he
withdrew his head, sans hirsute adorn-
ment,: he revealed the familiar features
Of a prominent churchman. Then the
assemblage was startled by desolate
wall that suddenly rent the air. =.

IN A GERMAN HOSPITAL,
Where the Christmas Angel Visit.
Suffering Children

Where the Christmas Angel Visits
Suffering Children.
In one Of the German hospitals of our
country is observed custom quite in
accordance with the beautiful senti-
ment the Germans weave about Christ
mas.
Christmas belongs to the children
everybody knows that-but it belongs
to them in a deeper, more beautiful
sense than ''everybody" knows. One
is reminded of it. however, if he wit
nesses such scene as is portrayed in
this hospital on Christmas eve. One Of
the nurses dresses in long, soft flow
ing robe of white, bearing in her hand
a fir bough covered With snow. The
snow is cotton sprinkled with diamond
dust. This is the Christmas angel.
The children are told Of the gentle
visitor and wait III their little cots
When darkness is outside they hear the
strains Of sweet music in the distance
The nurses are singing Christmas car
OILS, and the sounds come through open
doors. Then the Christmas angel
bending over each little form to listen
to the whispered secrets. Each one
tells her what he wants on Christmas
day. TAen, with a tender word, she
passes out, and to the sound of the car
OILS they all fall asleep-those who can
slip away from pain.
When the day daWns all the children
are taken into the kindergarten. Some
are carried, some are rolled, and some
can walk. Sure enough, each finds
there what he asks for-drums and
dolls and trumpets and books. On
long, low table is plate for each one,
filed with candies and queer little Ger
man cakes. On one wall is tableau Of
the Nativity made of small wax figures,
and painting on the wall completes
the perspective of hills and shepherds
and the guiding star. Hanging from
the wall in the center of the ward is a
large hoop covered with laurel At in
tervals around it are set lighted can
dies. It is suspended from the ceiling
by four wide ribbons.
In the fever ward, where the con-
taglous diseases are cared for, the little
patients of course cannot leave, but
| they have their Christmas too. Two
| large, fine spruce trees stand in each
end of the ward. brilliantly illuminate
ed by tiny, many colored electric lights.

these were supplemented by some

were secured at a port we visited a
week previously, and the players had
been practicing, often to the annoy

ELL, Mrs. LII Hung Chang,
"a I believe WILL" said Polly
~ Adams to ridiculous
china doll that sat on the
chimney staring tixedly before her.
Itwas nearly midnight, and the-house
was still. The Christmas tree stood all
decorated and with the gifts hung
upon it in the library, back of the par
lor, and Polly had been sitting beside
the fire In her pretty yellow eiderdown
pajamas- Pajamas were a fad that
season among all her girl friends, and
Polly always, as she said, kept right
along with the. procession"
Polly was tired, for she had been
busy all that day. They were not rich,
and so much Of the. running devolved
upon Polly, and the three boys were
home from school, and>they had two
visitors to remain till New Years.
One Of them was Archie-it is enough
to call him just archie" So, while
Polly braided the heavy mass of rich.
brown hair into one long loose plat,
she glanced at the mistletoe and then
at the sphinxlike face Of the Chinese
doll as she said:
"Now, Mrs. Ii Hung Chang, what
shall do? Archie loves me. I know
:, It from dozen-yes, thousand
things, but he is so shy and timid
Minnie Blake is engaged, and SO would
be If only Archie had the courage OF
IA ch1pmunk," she hastily added as
she thought of her bare feet and pos
sible mice. ''Now, If could hang this
mistletoe to the chandelier tonight in
the excitement of seeing our gifts
could manage--I know I could-to get
him under it beside me. and the boys
would do the rest, and then-well, the
ice would be broken. l will il you
say So Why don't you speaky'
Saying this, the dainty little beauty
stamped her foot, now in It's slipper,
which Jared the room ever so slightly,
and the doll did nod its head. Polly
laughed, half startled, but with new
courage. She took the night light in
Fone hand and the bunch of mistletoe in
the other, with it's graphing wires, and
stole downstairs to the library door
and on into the parlor, not noticing that
the library door had shut to with the
spring lock.
Polly did not wish to awaken any
tmember Of the family, SO she did not
switch on the lights. Her own tiny

light but made the darkness visible. It
was fearsome down here all alone in
the dark, so she hurried and pushed
the side table over into the middle Of
the room under the chandelier, with the
mistletoe on it, and then brought a
delicate, long legged, gold painted chair,
on which she climbed timldly, listening
all the while for sound.
The chandelier was high and Polly
not tall, so do her best, standing on her
tiptoes, she could not reach the fixture.

to herself, land l hope I'll not fall and

Last Christmas, says the Des Moines

Arthur Hyde, the handsome wife Of a
Des Moines millionaire, faced a bitter
wind from noon until 5 o'clock in the
afternoon holding in her hand the regu-
lation Salvation Army turkey contribu-
ton box, which she took from the
hands Of Captain Mary Taylor, after
telling the latter to return to the bar
racks, eat her dinner and remain In
doors until sent for. Attracted thither
by the strange spectacle, money Of all
denominations was dropped in the box,
and when Captain Taylor came to re-
sumo her work at o'clock, besides a
well filed contribution box she receiv-
ed a large roll of bills from Mrs.
Hydes own pocketbook.

and then blast Of wintry wind and
two voices in the hall. They were
those of her Oldest and most unbear-
