with its profusion of chrysanthemums
and wealth of sweet-smelling flowers.
At midnight on certain night in au-

the moon and comes down to earth to
grant fayors to mortals.
Zone night she appeared to an old
lady and told her she would grant any
favor she might ask. So bright and
dazzling was the vision of the goddess
that the old lady was speeches..
Finally she summoned up enough
courage to place her hand to her
mouth, meaning she would like
enough to eat for the rest of her life.
The next morning, when the old lady
awake, she found she had a gigantic
beard. The goddess had misunder-
stood her gesture, and instead of fur
nishing her with enough to eat for the
rest of her life she caused beard to
grow on her chin. So you see," con-

Just then door opened and stern
voice called, "Ah OF! Is it thus you
sit lending an idle ear to children's
talk? Come hither and find a more
suitable occupation than listening to
tales of the foreign devils gods.'
When she reached the door Van
Lee pushed her roughly inside.
There was sprinkling of snow on
the ground and the cold wind blew in
the chubby faces of Choy Come and
All Yeung, who, in padded tunics and
muffled up in silken scarfs, were hur.
rying home from the afternoons
Christmas celebration at the missien.
Choy Come carried small branch
Of Christmas tree trimmed deliberately
in tinsel. As they turned the corner
the wind blew sudden blast and tore
from Choy Comes arms the tinsel-
trimmed branch, blowing it swiftly
down the slightly inclined street.
"Oh, elder BROTHER cried Choy
Come, in excitement, "the wind has
taken the gift for All Oh" They both
chased the branch down the street,
calling to the pedestrians, ooh, please
some one save the gift for All Oh
Little Ones" said one of their coun!
trymen, who had rescued from the
middle of the street the precious
branch, tell unto me who All OF is
and you may have your branch"
"Honored SIR" implored All Yeung,
please give us the gift for All OF!
She belongs to Yam Lee, and is very
sal. Even now she awaits on the
steps for u.s."
The strangers countenance under

softly to himself, as though unaware
of the children's presence, "Yan Lee,
All Oh; at last have found her whom
l have long sought"
He looked down on Choy Come and
An Yeung. Little ones," he said,
with joy in his tones, surely the god
Of luck to whom even this morning /

I, Lu Chan, have come from across the

Reports from the northern country
are that Notwithstanding the hitherto
favorable reports, the loss among stock
men will be very heavy. Both sheep
and cattle men will suffer severely from
the hard winter, several small cattle
men having been practically cleaned
out, while some of the sheep men have
but little left to show. One man lost
his entire herd of 500 sheep, and an
other lost one hundred out Of bunch of
one hundred and twenty full blooded
Hereford cattle. The cold wave seems
to have done its worst damage in the
eastern part of Meade county where it
hung on for an unprecedently long time.
The loss to farmers and stock men in this
region will be all the way from twenty
five to seventy-tive per cent.

serious ofense charged He was fined
twenty-five dollars and costs. A job
was found him where he was afforded an
opportunity to pay the costs and fine,
and also for the damage done This will
