influence over the jury that they
returned q verdict of not guilty.

IF A CHRISTMAS WISH CAME
TRUE.

William Dean Howell's Christmas
story for children which he named
Christmas Every Day, and which has
brand-new dress this year of holly
red, can be retold in a fashion that
will make a capital bedtime story for
Christmas night, when little people
sigh that the day is over Once there
was little girl who climbed up on
fathers knee and whispered in his
ear, Il wish it might be Christmas
every day instead of only once a
year," Now father knew that this
wouldn't do at all, but would be really
very bad indeed and probably spoil
Christmas entirely, and he thought
and thought, and wondered how he
could make little daughter know it
too. Then he remembered about an
other little girl who wished the very
same wish and fairy made it come
true, and so he told his little girl all
about it in a story. The little girl
that the fairy gave her wish to had a
beautiful time just for bit of a
while, but the dolls kept coming that
you couldn't remember the faces of,
and the toys that you got tired play
ing with, and the books that you
couldn't have time to look at, and the
candies that pretty soon got much too
sweet, and the stocking always full
of the same things, and everybody
saying, Christmas, Christmas" and
hardly another word, and nothing ever
surprise any more, until there never
was little girl who was more perfect
ly miserable the whole day long. And
the worst of it was that the little girl
began to hate Christmas, and just
begged the fairy to undo her wish,
and the fairy did, and so it got back
to being Christmas for just one day
every year, the same as always. And
the little girl was SO happy she said
she would never wish for it to be
Christmas every day again. Then lit
tie daughter, who had listened very
hard, only with great many Ques-
tons in between, said she never
would, either. And that is why it is
never Christmas every day.-Waco
