"WHEN WE WERE BOYS'
BY M. B. STEWART, in the Circle.

Christmas is not what it used to be when we were boys, I tell you-not q bit. Now don't go trying to tell me that it is because we arc grown up, for that is not so Mere feet and inches haven't anything to do with the way fellow feels. If Christmas was the same, we d feel the same, I know. It's different, that's all.
 You know how it used to be. About two months before Christmas the man who kept the Bazaar began to clean out the ball-bats and fishing tackle and the other things that had been in the win dows all summer and commenced put ting in the things that old Santy was going to give away Christmas. There were just loads of things In both windows, guns and skates, and doll babies for the giris and-oh. everything, but over there In the corner. in back, was the only thing on earth you wanted, just that one thing. The other boys were ,rowd'n, arcunt', saying, q want this and this" and "Oh! I'm going to get him to bring me that, too," but all you wanted was the bobs the pair painted red with yellow stripes on the runners and strip of carpet down the middle of the seat to keep you from slipping when the hill was awful steep. You could almost feel yourself scooting down Canal hill on those bobs. There wasn't another pair in town like them. They had big handle-bar to steer by, not just ropes, and places to put your feet and the name, Rovet, was right on the front by the handle-bars If you only had those bobs, You could hear yourself saying, Pile on. fellers; you can't hurt old Rover: he's built to stand.'
 Ma" you ventured as you flopped the meat down on the kitchen table, s'poso old Santy'd bring me that pair of bobs for Christmas; s'pose he would?'
 Maybe s9" she answered, If you're a real good boy" and she went on with her work as tho there wasn't such a thing as bobs in the world.
 That was always the way. You had to be good, good always and forever. good. No matter what it was you wanted to Co about Christmas time, you had to be good or Santy was sure to hear about 1t and you wouldn't get thing.
 It took at least a week before you could muster up courage enough to go in and price the bobs. Finally, one day on your way home from school, when there wasn't anybody in the Bazaar but the man, you slpt in. "Iow much are those bobs?" you managed to ask.
 'Bobs, what BObs? Oh those Let me see" They were-and your heart stood still willie he tipped them up to look at the price mark on the bottom.
 "I didn't want to buy 'em today you explained when he told you they were .five-fifty; "I just thought I'd ask, that's all" -.=f,s-a.
 Five-fftyi When you mentioned it to your father he sort of whistled and said That's pretty steep for old Santy; he's got a lot of people to tend to. you know
 Two days before Christmas you stopped to take your daily look at the bobs. You blew on the frosty glass and rubbed a nice clean hole so you could get good look. then you peeked in and-the world stood still for minute. then got all misty and something kept choking you all the way home.
 They're gone," you gasped as you stumbled into the house.
 What's gone? Who is? Answer me,

child.' your mother cried all in one breath as she jumped up excitedly.
 ''The bobs" you sobbed.
 'Oh, mercy! l thought you meant the twins, she said. Goodness. child, how you frightened mel and she sat down again with her hand on her heart and her breath sort of jerky
 That was all. She didn't care a thing about the bobs. Nobody did but you. And now they were gone, and there wasn't anything else in the world that could ever make you happy again.
 You went off on the lounge in the 'parlor and-what if you did cry a littleF What do you expect of fellow when he has had his heart broken ? Anyway, you didn't wake up until near " supper time, and then you heard your mother saying: 'I declare the -childs daffy over those bob-sled things. guess we'll simply have to-"
 Have to what, ma?" you cried. hop ping out into the sitting room, where your mother and father were; have to wnat?"
 Say, where'd you come from any way MT. Big Eaks?" your father de- manded fercely. You skedaddle. want to talk to your mother now" and as you raced out to hunt up the twins. you heard him say, "S'pose the little tyke heard?"
 Christmas eve was the hardest part or 1t all. You had hardly finished your supper when your father started talk ing about bed. Its about time you boys hung up your stockings. reckon D he said significantly. "Santy is liable to be along most any time now"
 After the stockings had been hung up and you were in bed, the real agony began. Wonder if he will bring 'em ?'' hrtn6 wonder is he will?" Goodness. but morning seemed long way off. Say, ma" you called down stairs, what time is 1t now?' Well, it's time you were asleep if you want Santy Claus to come" she called up to you.
 Asleep. You couldn't go to sleep to save you. You closed your eyes and kept them shut until they ached, but you didn't get sleepy a bit. After a while you heard them whispering down stairs. Pretty soon something bumped hard on the dining room floor, and you heard your mothers "S-s-hl you'll wake up all creation if you don't mind"
 You were wide awake in a minute. Was that Santy Claus. mar" you called, sitting up in bed with little cod chills running all over you. Then your father came to the foot of the stairs. See here, young man." he called, If you don't keep quiet and go to sleep, I'll just go out and holler to Santy Claus not to stop here. Understand that"
 Then you went to sleep at last, to dream. First, Santy got the bobs stuck in the chimney and your father had to go up on the roof and poke them down with a clothes-pole. When you finally pulled them out and wiped the soot off, they turned into a woody COW. which began to eat the tidy on your mothers rocking chair, and then It was sort of gray and spooky when you woke up, and mighty cold. It was a minute or before you realized that it was Christmas at last.
 Ma" you called, ifs it time to get up

 Just try this simple homemade mixture at the first sign of Rheu- matism, or if your back aches or you feel that the kidneys are not acting just right. This is said to be splendid kidney regulator, and almost certain remedy for all forms of Rheumatism, which is caused by uric acid in the blood which the kidneys fail to filter out. Any one can easily prepare this at home and at small cost.

The case Of the United States vs.
s. H. Winter and Nj. N. Nelson in
the holding of a certain mine raj
claim in the Priest River reservation,
called the Deer Trail claim, was de-
cided in the land Office in favor Of
the government. The investigation
BY competent officials showed that
the land was valueless as mineral and
as this was the purpose for which it
was taken. The claim was annulled,
the government holding that the
claimants merely wanted the land for
summer resort and not for min
eIal claim.
