THE VIOLET FAIRY.

IL was CHARMING spot. DeWy
leaves, delicate perfumes, the soft
twitter of birds and the cool restful-
ness of a dense forest-all these
made the place an earthly paradise
It was near the sunset hour and the
shadows had even now begun TO
deepen.
A young fairy was lightly resting
her airy wings, while look of per-
plexity settled upon her sweet face.
Tonight she must select some flower
in which to dwell.
Now you must know that after a
month of freedom from all care, each
FAIRY must choose flower for her
home. Henceforth she becomes
known as u flower fairy and takes
upon herself certain duties, which,
though light, must be faithfully per-
| formed.
Our fairy had spent her month very
happily and profitably. She had fit
ted from place to place until the
hour had come when her choice must
be made.

too high and too exposed for her, al.
though the fluffy silk of it's blossom
was quite to her taste.
The dandelion was too bright. Ii
made her eyes ache only to look at

splendor, would be impossible.
The daisy grew in open fields and by
dusty waysides and she had decided
that some quiet. shady spot as this
must be her home

,perishable: clover was too plain and
milk-weed was not TO be considered
Roses were too large and peoples toe

She decided IL would be impossible
to obey the orders of her queen. She
would far rather perish from cold
'or receive a rebuke from the lovely
lqueen than to choose a home not
quite to her taste. In despair, she
crept beneath bunch OF leaves for

! Without reasoning why. she yielded
to the wonderful influence and crept
closer to its source. scarcely knowina
that she did So AT last she nestled
happily in the most comfortable nest

NATALIE,s KITTENS.

On0 evening Wlen Ndt2lleS father
came back from the post-office, where
he stayed all day, he said: Come
here, Natalie, and see what / have in
my pocket
Natalie came running to him and
stuck her little fat hand into his coat
pocket. She thought there would be a
bundle of candy there. But the bun
die was warm and soft and wrigg' ed.
1t was furry, too.
OH OH OH It's a kitten,
laughed Natalie, and clapped her
hands in joy.
Yes, it is a stray kitten" saiu
papa. Il found it in front OF the
postoffice. Perhaps somebody put il
there because they knew that in the
post-master's house there was a little
girl who would like a kitten
Natalie got the kitten some milk and
pussy tapped it eagerly with her little
red tongue. She drank the water
that Natalie gave her, too, and cuddled
down to sleep in the basket Natalie
fixed for her, as much at home as II
she had lived at Natalie's all her
life.
But she may run away said papa.
Don't feel too bad, Natalie, if she runs
away. Kittens of that size often do,
and she was astray when / found her,
you know
But Natalies eyes filed with tears
at the very thought, and papa made
up his mind that the kitty should not
run away from her if he could help IT,
Natalie played with her kitten all
the next day, but about the time for
papa to come from the postoffiCc
kitty was put out of doors. When
papa came in he seemed to have the
same kind of a bundle in mis- pocket
that he had had before, for a it'll,
furry head was peeking out of It,

very place where she was yesterday

"Eh? What? cried papa, great,

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

The poor we have always with us. None of us may be exceedingly rich in this worlds goods as riches are counted in these days. but the most of us are not so desperately poor as to understand and sympathize fully with those whose poverty is the most pinching at Christmas time. There are in Phoenix many little children who are getting all the "Crismus' they will have by looking into the shop windows where they see the pretty, glittering things which were not made for them. However cheap and tawdry some of these things are. they are beyond the reach of parents who from one weeks end to another are engaged in a painful struggle after the things that they must have. The disappointment of the children. severe as it is. is less painful than the par ents' regret al their inability to make their little ones as happy on Christ mas morning as the neighbors' chil- dren will be.
 We have often thought that if there was one thing over which the govern ment ought to exercise q control, and to regulate. so that there could be no discrimination if should be the distri- button of Christmas gifts. As things now stand with the children that is much more serious and crying evil than discrimination in railroad rates and rebates about which the children do not care at all.
 The congress should make a suffi- cient appropriation so that the depart ment of agriculture. through its bu- reau of forestry could plant orchards of bearing Christmas trees all over this broad land
 There will be a less unequal distri- button Of gifts in Phoenix than in most places this year and an immense ly less unequal distribution than there always is in the large cities where the rich are very rich and where the poor are very poor. but there is enough of il here and it is not fair.
 Noble women and men here and all over the country are trying to make things better and they should be en- outraged and helped. The Associated Charities and the Salvation Army are trying to get clothing and boots and shoes and good. things to eat for those who can not otherwise get them. That is praiseworthy and we hope that every man and woman and child in Phoenix who can do so will help the Charities and the Army, so as make the Christmas brighter and more gen. ,-ral
 But how about the more deep seated trouble of the poor children for whom the manufacturers have made no dolls or toys this year.

 Between the superintendent and the ministers our most loved holiday has been dragged into a disgraceful con- troversy The ministers should have kept their hands off and left the mat ter to the fathers and male relatives over twenty-one years of age, of the children who are to be deprived of their usual festivities. They will probably see to it at some coming election, that a brainier man is put in charge of the schools.

THE LOS ANGELES CHRISTMAS.
 The city school superintendent of Los Angeles has started an unneces- ssry' commotion in that city by order ing the elimination of all it's signifi- canoe from the celebration of Christ mas !n the schools. He bases his ac- ton on a fool interpretation of the laws Of the state, which require that the schools shall be nOn- -sectarian. The ministerial association of Los An geles has played into the hands of the superintendent by taking the matter up and denouncing him for robbing the Christmas exercises Of their holy or religious character, thus fOOlishly supporting his false assumption that the usual celebration of Christmas is a sectarian or religious observance of it. If that is so. the superintendent is right. though the law might be wrong. It is 9 fact, that while we have no national legal holiday, though we have the special Thanksgiving holiday, Christmas is observed in most of the states as legal holidsy and in the states where .t is not so regarded by law it is observed b" banks and busi- ness houses generally as if it were The church observes il religiously Outside Of the church it is observed in conformity with the most beautiful of all the customs which have come down to us. To tho church it is the anniversary Of the birth of Christ and so, a season of rejoicing To others it symbolizes a renewal of hope. the be- ginning of a period of joy
