At last the hands on the courthouse
clock indicated that It was 1890, and
then one Of Old Nick's hired men ap'

big hall. With wild rush and a loud

hurried upstairs. The Christmas tree
loomed gloriously before them. Its
branches were laden with packages
all neatly tied with ribbons and each
bearing a card on which was written
the name Of the person who was to re.

ready for the feasters. There were

~ LID NICK BRADSHAW was the
lid richest man in Jonesburg, and
~ for 80 years he had also been
the most hated. There was q tradi-
ton that a girl whom he was to have
married one Christmas day had eloped
with another man q few hours before
the time set for the wedding. Whether
tho story was true or not Old Nick, a.
everybody called him, had become a
recluse. Nobody ever had kind word
for him.
It had long been agreed that the
death Of Old Nick would be the luck
Test think which could happen to
Jonesburg, wherefore there was gen.
eral surprise when it was announced
one year that Nicholas Bradshaw In.
tended to have Christmas tree for all
the children in the town and that he
would on the great day give a dinner
to the people.
Three weeks before Christmas he
began his preparations. He rented tho
biggest hall in the place, had an inn.
mense evergreen tree set up in it, and
hired carpenters to fill it with long
tables. The people could hardly be-
lieye that their eyes did not deceive
them when they saw him getting
things ready.
He made many mysterious visits to

 And there are others, not rich. who are Of a like foolish sort A woman shows her neighbor woman something costly. The other is envious. Per haps the motive in buying the stuff was to make others envisus. Discon- tent is/born in the envious. Tie wo. man wants what she cannot afford, and, nursing the false ambition. goes to the limit to get it.
 And So a false standard Of living is set up. Sense of true proportion is lost False ideals are maintained The folly of it is everywhere seen, in every circle of life. A man must live as his neighbors live. A woman must buy what inc other women buy. The children must have what other children have. And thus husband and wife are put upon the rack. Heart aches, failures maybe crimes of it.
 Envy is at the bottom of many ills of today. It is building up class spirit ] It is fostering hatred of class. It Is everywhere putting the premium on ] the dollar and discount on the man. That way spells ruin.
 1 Individually one may reouke this selfish spirit and save oneself from the misery of an en7ious life.
