THE THREE PRIZES.

Last week we said the Juniors
would see a gold frame in the win
dow Of the Courier Office this afte'-
noon at $3.50 O'Clock, but since then
we, decided that a nice little house
would be better place for Buster,
Mary Jane and Tige. Consequently
this afternoon the juniors saw their
friends in dear little decorated
house which was placed close to the
window in the Courier office. Buster
and Mary Jane, his sister are two
dolls, beautifully dressed, Buster, st
course, in pink linen and Mary Jane
ia blue silk. And Tige, the most in
telligent dog in all the world is there
looking at all the Juniors and asking
them, with his eyes, of course, 10
bring a Christmas stocking.
Now these three. Buster, Mary Jane
and Tige are the prizes for the mem
beers OF the Christmas Stocking Clue.
Al eacn one has to do to be among
tue eligible ones for these prizes is
tn bring a stocking to the Junior
office and then your name will be en-
relied. When Christmas comes the
prizes will be sent out to the win.
ners Besides think how happy you
will make all the little children to
whom your stockings are given.

THE CHRISTMAS STOCKING CLUB

Dear Juniors: We will not publish
Santa Claus letter or the Junior let
ter to him this week, because we
know that you saved them from last
weeks paper. Last year we started
the Christmas Stocking club. Many
of YOU will remember what a great
success it was.
You know that if we wish to give
presents at Christmas time, and do
not want our friends to know from
whom the gifts come. Santa Claus
will deliver them for us If we ASK
him. Then again Santa does not al
ways give useful presents, such as
stockings and mittens. Now the
Juniors who want to join the Christ
mas Stocking club need not conf1ne
their gifts to stockings or mittens,
anything that you all wish to give or
that you all can conveniently give,
will be acceptable, just SO 1t is given
in that beautiful Christmas spirit
which the little child Jesus, whose
birthday we will celebrate December
Is wants us all to have.
Here is what you all have to do to
become members of the Christmas
Stocking club:
Each Junior gets one pair of nice
warm stockings. fills one with a toy
Of some kind, also puts the other
stocking in and sends it OF brings it
to the Office OF the Courier Junior. On
Christmas eve Santa Claus takes the
stockings and the other gifts to the
Open Door Mission and the Salvation
Army. The juniors living at a dis.
lance can send the stockings and
the Courier Junior will fill them up.

Dear Old Santa Claus:

Dear Old Santa Claus:
1 think it is very nice for the Cou.
rier Junior to have Christ
mas Stocking club, so we
may know where to send our gifts
to you, SO you may distribute among
the little children who need them.
know it is very hard to make SO many
gifts for us, and think we ought II
help you out with them by sending
toys and things.
AS you asked us to write to you
and tell you what we want for Christ
mas will do so. If you would be
kind enough to send me a big doll.
like Mary Jane, to be queen of my
other dollies. should also like some
more books if you please Santa.
Among those want are: One Of
Thomas Nelson Pages books, book

MEMBER THE CHRISTMAS
STOCKING CLUB.

Dear Santa Claus:
I do not want very many things this
Christmas. You always have given me
enough presents. This year instead of
giving me SO many things give part
of them to the Stocking club for the
the children, who don't get so many
nice things. All the stuff this year
costs SO much that | expect you can
not give anybody very much.
We have only had few fakes of
