by giving the most enjoyment to oth- CTS. Let's give, what we give out side our own families, to those who need it.
 'I don't think I follow you exactly"
 Well, take myself, for instance. I am very fortunate if I get off with a hundred dollars. How much does it cost you?"
 q can't say definitely, but fully that much,I should judge"
 Suppose, then, we take our families into the scheme with us and agree to spend only $50 for ourselves. Then we can spend $25 each for a num- Der of worthy poor families who are unable to provide for themselves, out of the ordinary, yet too proud or have too much self-respect to avail themselves of the public charities on that day In that way we would be $25 ahead, and at the same time be able to furnish 10 or 15 families with turkey and the other necessaries for a good Christmas dinner, and some candies and toys for the chil- dren."
 Good for you. Will, that suits me down to the ground, and I know my wife will be right in for it.
 I'm glad it strikes you so favor ably, George. But if it's good thing for us two, why not push it along a little? Whats the matter with getting four or five or a half dozen of the other boys interested?"
 Nothing at all. There's Scott and Corwin and Wilson and Thompson and Smith, all of 'em good. whole souled fellows, and all here in the building. Suppose I 'phoned 'em to come up, and we'll talk the matter over. They're all pretty we'll fixed, too, and believe will be glad to take a hand'
 Just the thing, George The soon- CT we take hold and get it under way, the better"
 Accordingly an urgent message was telephoned in a half jovial, half mys- terious way, to each one mentioned, to come to James office at once on inn portant business. All responded promptly, undecided as to whether it meant practical joke or business of pressing importance.
 Will called the meeting to order in very formal manner and request ed George to state it's purpose.
 Every one seemed to enter into the spirit of the object of the meeting, as we'll as into the half jovial, half formal, parliamentary manner in which it was conducted, and they were soon discussing the various sug- gestions offered with the enthusiasm

so that it takes all the pleasure. away from the giving, because the ex- pense is really greater than I can af- ford"
 That's it exactly. It wouldn't be so bad if the gifts were restricted to ones own family, but some relative or friend makes some of the family present and it has to be met in kind, or with something little bet ter, in order to relieve ones self of the sense of obligation. If these presents were all dictated by affec- tion, fellow wouldn't object to mak- ing considerable sacrifices, but when large proportion are merely for the purpose of keeping even, it's a horse of another color"
 Yes, and our most expensive pres ents go to those who are better fixed financially than ourselves, and who have the least need for them. Why, just last week one of my nieces, who is in very moderate circumstances, and of whom I think a good deal, was married, and we sent her piece of
 
 lars. At the same time we sent Miss DeForrest for her wedding present a cut glass dish that cost $15, and she'd hardly recognize us if we met her on the street"
 I'm glad you told me that, Will I had sort of a sneaking idea that l was about the biggest fool in town in that direction, but I guess you and your family and I and my family and everybody else and his family are all in the same boat. But what's to be done? Can't we make a declar- ation of independence? My wife and I make resolves every year, but we keep stretching the limit a little, un- til by the time we get through the list we find we have sent more than the preceding year."
 I'm with you on two things. George; that is, that we economize some on our expenditures, and that what we do spend shall be in a way to bring most enjoyment to ourselves,

HE NEARLY FORGOT.
Santa Claus May Be Little Slow But
 Always Sure.

The old fiddler had been rasping away since three o'clock for the chil. dren's party, and it was not till nearly nine that he was told that they had danced enough, that he might go into the buffers room 10 get himself some supper, that, in short he might go home. But the old fiddler wanted no supper. All he wanted was the sov- ereign he had to receive for his six hours hard work. He was bent, threadbare, worn, old fiddler, but when he left the great house his feet seemed to spring beneath him.
 With his fiddle tucked under his arm, he set out for home, chuckling within himself for very joy.
 At the corner there was a toy-shop. It was shut up, of course, but he knocked at the private door, and per suaded the proprietor to sell him a horse. It was quite a wonderful horse made of wood, with a red saddle, and mane all complete. Then he went home-up the long, creaking staircase up and up, till shrill voice greeted him.
 Did you meet Santa Claus?' said the little voice.
 Yes, met him at the corner" said the fiddler. And he told me to give you this"
 T thought he'd forgotten" said the little voice, almost choked with glee. Christmas is nearly gone"
 He did nearly forget" said the old man slyly. But not quite. Santa Claus never quite forgets."
 T speck," said the little voice, Santa Claus had so many little boys to go to, he couldn't get here any ear Her. hope he hasn't forgotten any other little boys"

and abandon of lot of school boys
 While there was no posing as phil anthropists, there was whole-souled spirit of consideration shown for the worthy unfortunate, that gave them much deeper insight into each oth- CTS characters and drew them into closer bonds of sympathy than would year of ordinary intercourse.
 It was found that after they had all pledged themselves to the fund in accordance with the rule laid down, as to ability and percentage of or dinary expenditure, there would be something over a hundred and fifty dollars available
 It being essential to the carrying out of their plan that their families should be interested, a meeting was the residence of MT. Corwin, at which all were represented.
 The ladies and other members of the families entered into the move ment with even more enthusiasm than the originators. Before the labor was completed of making out the list of those to be aided and the various things to be contributed to each one, several meetings. were required. More enjoyment came from these meetings, twice over, than if the money ex- pended had been for gifts for them selves
 The organization was kept secret hA raf1t1 1in hut at hA To, r suggestion of Mir. Scott, adopted the name: 'The Associated Santa Claus" !" With each basket, delivered late on Christmas eve, at the door of various homes, was an envelope addressed to the recipient, containing a postal di- rected to "yhe Assocated Santa Claus" Box 619, City; requesting that the receipt of the basket be acknowl- edged, so that it might be known that 1t had not gone astray. It is not the province of this story to tell of the joy of the little children in these 30 or 40 homes, over the re- ceipt of some cherished toy and the ever welcome candy and nuts, or of | the heartfelt gratitude of the parents, | that, for that one day of all others, their families had been permitted to partake of the comfort and luxury of well filled table.
 At the final meeting of the year, | held the night after Christmas, at which the acknowledgements were read to the association, more than one woman's eyes were brimming with tears, and more than one man had lump in his throat that was difficult to swallow, as he listened to the l burning words of gratitude, for the | joy that had been brought to their homes. Some were expressed in un. couth, and some in the most refined language, but all bore the impress of | sincerity.
 There was not dissenting voice when Mir Wilson presented the fol | lowing resolution:

BURY EDDYvILLE

WHILE DIGGING NEAR ROCK ls-
LAND DEPOT WoRkMEN UN.
EARTH BONES SECOND TIME

Eddyville.-The unearthing Of the
parts Of human skull on the ROCK
Island railway north Of town recalls
to the memory Of many of the residents
Of this place the fact that three skei-
etons were exhumed near the same
spot twenty-five years ago and were
given another burial at the point
where the skull was recently found.
When the Iowa Central railroad was
built through Eddyville in 1870, 1t
struck the old Des Moines Valley rail-
railway about mile north Of the
city limits. At this Junction was
built the combined depot and freight
house known as the old Eddyvilie
Transfer. Here force Of men were
kept on duty day and night transfers.
ing passengers and freight between the
two roads.
In 1884 the two railway companies
determined to reduce exp anses by
abandoning the Eddyville transfer and
moving the business to Giyin, small
town about Ave miles north of tits
place. Henceforth the old landmark,
known as the Eddyville Transfer, was
only memory.
A short time after the abandoning Of
the transfer the Rock Island company
removed the gravel from one OF tHe
pits about hundred yards south OF
the depot During this time John r.
Chitwood, who was employed as a
shoveler. stuck his shovel into the
sand and came across an Obstruction
which proved to be a human thigh.
Further excavating revealed the other
thigh and the balance Of the skeleton
They continued to dig and found a
second skeleton lying with the head
near the feet Of the skeleton which
was first discovered. Later a smaller
skeleton was discovered which was
that of a child. The first two were
supposed to have been a man and a
woman. The workmen gave the skel-
etons second burial at point some
distance up the track.
The bodies when discovered were
buried but short distance below the
surface Of the earth in what had beer
