No, of course not. But papa goes

Santa Claus? Don't you think he could
get here with light load? You
know, when We came, we got stuck in
the sioughs lots of times and papa
unloaded the wagon and got it across
empty. Don't you think Santa Claus
could do that?"
Yes, he SHALL" said Hattie, with
determination.
She was only the hired girl who had
come in friendly pioneer fashion to
help the settlers wife through her
sickness; but to the inmates of the
little cabin she was ministering
angel. Strong and faithful and eff
cient, an angel could hardly have
done more in that prairie home. Yet
she did not look in the least like an
angel as she put on the pioneers old
cap and coat, tied red wooden scarf
around her neck, drew old stockings
over her shoes and floundered out
through the drifts, stout and rosy in
the wind, to do the chores for the
night. Not glimpse of the near by
barn could be obtained from the cabin
door Hattie tied long rope to the
door knob and carefully held the other
end as she walked toward it,
She pulled down hay and fed the
c.fo Gho
pals full of the snow water she had
melted in the big wash boiler for
them to drink. She brought in a
great supply of fuel and made every
thing outdoors and in as snug and
CHEEKY as possible. Then she cooked
the supper-that did not take long
for there was little to cook-and
washed up the dishes and cared for
the sick woman and the little babe.
She put Lille to bed in the queer
little trundle- bed-the child chattering
about Santa Claus every minute-and
tucked her in as happy as if there
were no fear or anxiety in the world
oh, what would the pioneer families
have done without the girls of that
time?
The mercury ranged and S de-
grees below zero. The storm outside
howled with the fury of legion of
demons. In some drift out there in
the whiteness John Carver might be
sinking to death now.
The baby cried and the sick woman
moaned. There was no lack of occu-
patton for the young helper. Hattie's
strong arms held the child till it was
quoted and at the same time heated
flannels, brought water, smoOthed pill
lows, and did everything that could
be done for the anxious young
mother.
Hattie. you haven't anything to
worry you,' cried the sick woman, en-
viously.
Not thing except what worries
other people, answered Hattie. But
she knew that all the time she car
ried beneath her songs and CHEEKY
words heartache that was as hard
to bear as the young wifes own.

somewhere out in the snow-she knew
not where-her husband was journey
ing. Three weeks ago he had start
ed to the nearest town 60 miles away
for supplies. He had been sure that
he would return in a week. Was he
lying now under one of those huge
white drifts? Was he out in this
dreadful blizzard, perhaps freezing to
death at this very minute. She
turned away from the window and
moaned. She could not bear to an

girl, who never seemed to lose heart,
answered cheerily:

good cigars came back from Cuba.
There is a law limiting the number of
cigars that ear be brought in free to
fifty. This particular man hadn't de
clared his cigars, but he was found out
all right. The customs inspectors told
him about the law, and he was the
maddest man in all New York. When
he found there was no chance for him
he started in to throw the extra cigars
over into the water. The inspectors
let him do it. and he finally started to
walk off the pier. But the officers at
once seized the cigars that were left.

NOTES OF The CORN PALACE

Only three days more ana the
palace will open to the public. The
last three days will be exceedingly
busy ones all around.
The Methodist and Catholic ladies
will contribute their efforts to help
feed the multitudes coming TO
Mitchell next week. They have
erected stands for the purpose, the
Aethodist being located near the
corner of Main and Fourth Avenue
west, while the Catholic ladies are
on the corner of Main and Second
street. The W. r. c. will also
assist in the feeding proposition and
will serve meals in the Grand Army
ball in the library building.
When one stands at a distance of a
block or SO from the corn palace
building and takes in a general
survey OF the decorations The thought
comes to mind that it is about the
h~andsomest building which Col.
Robe has decorated in years. The
