A CHRISTMAS STORY.

1t was Christmas day on a great At
lantic steamer and they had long
since lost sight Of land. Although some
of the passengers were well enough,
anyone could have seen If they had
looked at a group of girls in one cor
ner of the saloon that they were dis
appointed at not being on land Christ
mas day.
Suddenly their faces Frightened as
Carol Bird suggested that they each
tell the story of Christmas at home.
So they began, Emily the English
girl first:
"My papa died when 1 was very
young and so mamma and | went to
live with grandpa.
"As grandpa had been one Of the
bell ringers he was very much inter-
ested and we would sit and hear the
bells ring every Christmas and then
there would be parties weeks after
and before Christmas, but they don't
give many presents except now they
have a Christmas tree since Queen
Victoria's husband brought the idea
from Germany and they had one in the
palace"
Now it was the German girls time
to tell her story and as she was very
anxious to tell It, she began:
I'VE also have a Christmas tree and
/ am going to tell you how it came
! that we have one.
Zone Christmas night Martin Luth
er was walking along the street wher
looking up at the sky he saw the stars
thinning so bright and SO he went In
Ito the house and tried to impress upor
4 his wife and children how beautiful
the stars we're, but as they would mo-
listen he went cut into the garden
and cut fir tree. Then he went into
1.-THE house and lighted it. with candles
to represent II stars and SO neigh
pors coming w it and had on,

A CHRISTMAS TREE.

Far away In great forest stood a.
little evergreen tree. Because 1t was.
small it was not happy. 1t wished so.
much to be large like the other trees
that grew around 1t. The sun sf1one on
1T and the soft winds blew the leaves
from other trees around It. Some.
times little children would say, is not
that a pretty little. tree? Then the
little tree would be more sad than
ever. And yet al 1.-The while this tree
grew a little taller every year. For by
the number of joints in the stem Of
an evergreen tree we can tell Its age.
This tree was SO unhappy that 1t did
not notice the warm sunshine or the
birds, but would say, NOh IL I were
only tall like these other trees. Then
the little birds would come and build
their nests in my branches, ana when
the wind blows should bow my head
like the tall trees. But am SO small
A little rabbit one snowy morning ran
and jumped clear over its top, and
then it would say 80, am so small!"
and was very unhappy Two winters
| past, and when the third one came
/ this tree had grown SO large that the
| little rabbit had to jump around it.
One day Wood-cutter came and cut
down some tall trees, and this little
tree was so afraid when 1t saw them
/ fall around it. And when 1t saw the
man had them on the, wagon, 1t would
say, where will he take them?
4 This little tree wished very much fe
1 know. And 1t asked q crow who lived
lin the forest But the crow did NOT
4 know. Christmas time drew near and
some young trees were cut down
Some even smaller than this one, who
enjoyed neither rest nor peace, but

who has discovered a field for g min

tious journals.
The wfl-o'-the-Wisp, the 12-year-
old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Gordon Selfridge was delivered at the
doors OF hundred or more Delighted
juvenile subscribers in the exclusive
portion Of the North Side yesterday
morning.
A cartoon supplement by 2 Chicago
newspaper artist was folded In the
dainty leafiet Of two pages. The adj
vertisennents were solicited by little
Miss Selfridge in person, and Will well
pay for the first issue.
The Will-o' the -Wisp is named for

q the work Of business managea was too
a strenuous for girl of 10, and such
pressure was brought to bear on the
