II I had money enough to give all the
presents 1 would like to give, It surely
would keep me busy from now until Christ
mas. The first thing I would purchase
would be something for my father and
mother; then for my sisters and brothers;
next for my more distant relatives and
friends; then for the kind teachers who
have given their thoughtful attention to
me. Thinking then (. the poor, I would
wish to furnish them with a good Christ
mas dinner consisting Of roast turkey,
Drowned potatoes and cranberry sauce. I
would then think Of the little girl who is
nearly blind, who, with the aid Of glasses,
might see. If I had the money 1 would
furnish her with them. Then, thinking Of
the little lame boy, I would furnish him
with money for medical treatment, which
would probably help him. Next, thinking
of the old colored people. I would wish to
give them a good chicken dinner and some
small keepsake. And not forgetting the
Busy Bee editor, I enclose herewith a pic
ture for him.

am going to tell you what I would like
to give for Christmas presents If 1 could
give everything that 1 would like to.
First, OF course. 1 would give my family
and friends many nice presents. Just ev-
erything they wanted they would get.
Secondly. I would give every little child
In the hospital nice presents. but the incest
present I would give would be that each
ono should get well and make a good man
or woman.
Next I would give every poor family a
nice Christmas, plenty of presents and all
that they could eat and I would see that
no little children that I knew would have
to work.
And last I would wish that everybody
on this earth could have a merry Christmas.

a small house in possession of those two
precious gifts are sometimes a great deal
happier than the rich man In q fine man

But as It is impossible for anybody to
give those two things 1 would like to have
a wel-filled purse and start a free Christ
mas store, like Fluffy Rufflss in last Sum

and sweetmeats I would have all kinds of
warm clothing for men, women and chill

l would also have groceries, meats and
tickets good for a ton Of coal at any coal

Claus. 1 would don a red coat and stocking

1 would max my way to a toy store.
There / would choose many OF the toys
and dolls, would throw Town my money
like a true king and after putting them in
my bag 1 would go down to the slums Of
the town and distribute them among the
poor little boys and girls who lived there.

happy my thoughts always go to the little
poor children who have no gifts, and / try
to do my best, for was not a most beautiful
example set when God gave all He had
His only beloved son-to US as a Christmas
PRESENT.
Then. after I had presented each with
some little gift, 1 would give them all a
nice, big hot dinner, and at night would
take them to see a beautiful Christmas
tree, on which hung another little remem-
brance of Gods love for them.

happy on the coming Christmas day than
to do as I have written.

Dear Editor: If anything should com
across my path that would make me rich
enough to give all the presents 1 would
like to give, 1 shall tell in this letter what
I would do
First I would buy presents for my
parents, my little brother and my sisters
and hide them until Christmas morning.
I would give one also to my school teacher
the last day of school. I would not forget
any friend or relative, either.
When I a this many presents sorted
out, then I would make my trips to all
the o~rphanages in Omaha and find out
what they needed most Then Christmas
morning 1 would hire an automobile and
distribute my presents to the little ones
and l hope I would make their little hearts
glad, but 1 think I would be the meTr1est
of all on account of giving to others.
After doing this 1 would distribute
presents among the differents hospitals Of
the city and therefore make both young
n old happy on Christmas day To be
happy myself I must make others happy
and this is the way to do It
Hoping that I can on some Christmas
give all the presents I would like 20 give,
1 still remain a Busy Bee

lumber Is CHEAP:
MANY ARE BUILDING

~
ThNn is more activity in the
building line in this city just now
than Pine Bluff has experienced Ter
some years. Handsome residences
are being erected and no few co -
+aces are being built in all suburban
sections The carpenters are rush
architects have their hands full
with work Local lumber dealers
report that their trade is something
remarkable for this season of tn
year and in many instances persons
are Laying in Il supply Of lumber
with a view to making Improvements
on their property later. The low
prices of lumber at this time is siven
= as the real cause for the heavy buy
ing.
To give one an idea Of the great
reductions that have been made in
recent weeks on building material
OF all kinds, the Graphic herewith
reproduces an article issued recent
~ from the office of the Northern
Pine Manufacturers Association al
Minneapolis, Mimi. \ striking fea-
ture OF the announcements is that
lumber of all kinds has declined in
price. The article among other
things says:
It is generally conceded that
building will be much cheaper the
coming season than for several
years, or than it probably ever Will
be again.
There has been reduction IN the
price Of nearly all classes OF build
ing materials from the hiGn range
OF values prevailing a Eear ago
The greatest percentage OF reduc-
ton in cost will be noticeable
in small construction, such as dwe!-
lings, because the proportion of lum-
Der used in such buildings is gre alter
than in large buildings used for con-
nercial purposes.
All kinds Of lumber have declined
