Jirrnaie's
Christmas
Stocking
By OWEN OLIVER.

Copyright. 1901. by Joseph b. Bowles.l

- HERE is honor among the deni-
lDl zens OF Paxton alley, but Mr..
Smiths toy-shop stood at the
very entrance, and they reckoned him
out of bounds.
From time to time evil-looking men
muttered to one another about the
long stocking that Mr.. Smith was
supposed to have filled; but he had
figured in the prize ring in his young
er days, and he was said to sleep
with a big knob stick beside him.
So the matter ended at mutterings.
A big. powerful man was Mr. Smith;
and he had powerful edge to his
tongue. Every one in the alley feared
him except Jimmy.
Mr.. Smith knew him as the extra
a dime given him in mistake for a
penny, an event which was his
torical in the alley. At the time 1t
gave rise TO doubts as to Jimmy's
sanity, but afterward it was held that
he was playing up to the old
man"
/ Anyhow, Mr.. Smith took two pa
pers regularly afterward; and the day
after his funeral-which was the day
before Christmas eve-a sleek man
in shiny top hat invaded Paxton al
ley, escorted by policeman. and
took evidence as to the identity of
'the boy called Jimmy who sold pa
pers" to the public generally, and in
particular TO the late Mr.. Smith.
When the sleek man was satisfied
upon this point he proclaimed Jimmy
the sole legatee of the estate. which
comprised the little shop and house
and all their contents.
You'll find a long stocking some
where, l expect" the lawyer said,
land you'd better bring it to me to
take care of; and If / were you
should take the name of Smith"
Under ordinary circumstances Jim
my would have been elated by his
good fortune. but somehow the world
had not interested him lately. He
had had a terrible cough for weeks
his business exposing him to the
climate-and just now he felt tired,
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1907-12-19

and had nasty pains in his side, and
seemed to be burning all over.
He moved in on the morning of
Christmas eve, and explored the
house with a kind of numb curiosity.
He spent most OF the morning in the
shop parlor in the armchair in front
Of the fire. He did not even go OUT
TO the quick-lunch room for the beau
tiful dinner that he had promised
himself. He had taken lot OF milk
from the milkman, and he kept drink
ing that He did not seem to care
about anything but milk, and, every
thing felt strange and uncanny. The
figure on the mantelpiece-a white
bearded old gentleman which ne be-
lieved was called Santa Claus--was
the strangest and uncanniest OF all.
The fire was almost out, so he put
on some more coal. He saw that IL
was nearly four o'clock. "Lumme!"
he muttered. I've let the day go, an
'aven't done no bus This won't
do. I'll take down the shutters, an
open the shop"
II had been a hard autumn. and
the people on whom Paxton alley
preyed were short of money. SO Pax
ton alley was short of money, too.
II few entered the shop, there were
enough outside A dozen cold. red
blue noses fiattened themselves
against the glass; a dozen shrill
voices clamored; a dozen little hands
pointed with grimy, chilblainy fingers

the toy-shop window, and how the
woman he lived with then had thrash.

Would Not Compromise.

A German traveller who tried to pass
q meal ticket on the train was told by
the conductor that he would have to
pay the regulation fare of 50 cents.
The German argued and refused to
pay more than % cents, whereupon the
conductor stopped the train and put
him off.
In a twinkling the traveller ran
ali cad of the engine and started to
sais on the track. The engineer blew
is whistle violently. but the irate
German turned, shook his fist and
called out: You can vissle all you
want TO; Won't come pack.

somewhat chagrined to know that
this recent action of the council only

g. The following from the Fargo Call
of yesterday, illustrating the power
of united effort and persistent work

people thereof, is worth reproduc-

people of Bismarck is the same di-
rection: Is
Fargo, in it's struggle for COM

giles which the Twin Cities had in
Meir earlier days--and with the same
results success. When Minneapolis

Never faltering, fighting every inch
Of the ground, the push and energy
of those cities gradually won the day
and the Twin Cities are just what
was made of them by that kind of
effort. This is the same fight which
the business men of Fargo are maxi
ing and which will result with like
success. Already the good results
OF efforts made by the local CONNER
cial club and business interests are
plainly to be seen stamped on rapid

enterprises of various classes. But
without doubt the masterstroke Of
successful effort is to be seen In, the
newly installed freight rates, now in
effect, which means that this city is
now a distributing point so accessi-
iSae and SO advantageous to surround
ing commercial interests that it must
bring to this city a vast business,
which it has not heretofore enjoyed.
The advantages to accrue from these
rates will be felt all over the state as
