Great Britain and Germany made
rulings that they would not handle
postal matter with the Red Cross
stamps on, and it is feared that many
packages sent from here before news
of the ruling was received, will be lost
or sent to the Dead Letter Office. The
answer from Washington seems to
make it likely that they will not be
handled by the British and German
postal departments.

THAT CHRISTMAS PIE.
Confession Of the Sinner Who
Doctored the Nfincemeat.

It had been our family custom to put
brandy in all the mince pies and to
put in at Christmas time sufficient
amount to enable the partakers thereof
to detect that there was really some
thing in it. 1t often went SO far as to
deserve the remark of my grandfather
that we put mince pie in our brandy.
With this as the family precedent,
imagine the CONSERVATION when it was
learned that Rev. jeremiah Scroggins,
our new minister and an avowed tee
totaler, had accepted mothers invita-
ton to Christmas dinner. A vote was
taken at the family table 1--WE were
democratic household). and it was de-
cided that out of respect to our guest
the brandy would be omitted from the
big mince pie.
Now, each of us in his heart of hearts
felt that the pie would be improved If
just a wee bit of brandy were added.
So I, for one, resolved to do the deed.
Accordingly 1 sought out the big stone
crock in which reposed the mince-
meat and poured in what 1 thought
was moderate quantity of brandy.
It's wonderful how true is the adage
about great minds running in similar
channels, for every other member of
the family. including my father, sur
reptitiously did the same thing. Later
we figured that the mincemeat must
have been treated to nigh unto quart.
Mother reserved her brandy until
Christmas day. when, before the pie
was baked, she added a generous
amount of the strong stuff.
With hearts as high as the faky pie
crust itself we all watched mother
carve that pie and serve it. IS

was given big portion.
No sooner had we tasted of the fine
dish than we discovered that that pie
was nothing short of a small sized dis
tillery. It was branded as no other
pie had been since the birth of time.
You can imagine the cold chills which
went round th..t festal board as we
watched the Rev. jeremiah begin to
eat. believe / actually shivered as
the first forkful went mouthward.
The first mouthful was followed by
second and the second by a third.
Finally he had finished the whole por-
ton. and he settled back In his chair.
We saw he was bit embarrassed and
expected a real old fashioned temper
ance lecture right then and there.
The Rev. jeremiah Scroggins cleared
his throat, and, turning to mother,
said: "Ah-er-my good sister, permit
me to compliment you ~pon the ex
cellence of this pie. 1t has a most
delicious favor l confess l never
tasted anything like it. Would you
think me overbold If l asked for an
other piece?'-New York Mail and Ex-

MAKE YOUR AID WORK.
Send it out after Business in the
Dull Season.

! There's nothing in the world sc
mysteriously funny as an advertise
ment, says an exchange. The prime
first, last and all the time object of an
advertisement is to draw custom. II
is not, and never will be designed for
any other purpose. So the merchants
wait till the busy season comes and
his store is so full of customers that
he can't take his hat off and then he
rushes to the printer and goes in for
advertising. When the dull season
gets along and there is no trade and
he wants to sells his goods SO badly,
he can't pay his rent, he stops adver-
Using. That is, some Of them do;
but occasionally level-headed mer-
chant does more of it, and scoops in
all the business while his neighbors
are making mortgages to pay the
gas bill. There are times when you
couldn't stop people from buying
everything in the store if you planted
a cannon behind the door, and that is
the time that the advertisement is
sent out on its holy mission. 1t makes
light work for advertising, for chalk
sign on the sidewalk could do all that
was needed and half holiday six
days in week, but who wants to
favor an advertisement. They are
built to do hard work and should be
sent out in dull days when customer
has to be knocked down with hard
facts and kicked insensible with
bankrupt reductions and dragged in
with irresistible slaughter of prices
before he will spend cent. That's
the end and aim of advertising and
if you ever open store don't try to
get them to come when they are al
ready sticking out of the windows
but give them your advertisement
right between the eyes in dull sea-
son and you will wax rich and own
fast horses and perhaps be able to
smoke cigar once or twice month.
Write this down where you'll fall
over it every day. The time to draw
business is when you want business
and not when you have got more than
you can already attend to.

~ AUL FLETCHER was in the
II drawing room waiting for Ida
to come Ida lived with her
brother. and every time Fetch
Ct called to see her either the brothers
wife or his children were in the room.
DO there was never chance to say
anything to her alone.
At last, however, his opportunity had
come. 1t was the day before Christ
mas, and Mrs. Stafford and the children
Had gone to her mothers for several
days.
Now, with Ida left at home with
the two servants and her brother not
yeOming till evening, Fletcher could say
: 10 her those things he had been long
ing to say, but which he could not
bring himself to write in a letter nor
30 declare before the assembled family.
At length, after what seemed very
sOng waiting, some one was coming.
He stood up and looked eagerly to-
ward the doorway. The portiere was
thrust aside, and in walked Teddy
Teddy, who, in Fletcher's opinion, was
the worst pill in the whole box as far
ms staying power and keen observa-
tion were concerned.
"Hello, Teddy" he said, not very
cordially. 'I thought you had gone to
spend Christmas with your grandma"
II didn't co. said Teddy.
'sDo you expect visit from Santa

And RENDERS too! Who does he think

whats the use Of presents, any
way? l never have anything that's
any good"
IT think you have the blues today"
said Fletcher, and then he did not
speak again. though Teddy tried to
draw him out.
He seemed to be in brown study,
and nothing reused him till Ida came
i'm, and even then he did not say much
and stayed only short time.
1t was in the evening that card
was brought to Teddy. On it was
written Santa Claus" Teddy's eyes
sparkled. 'Tell him to come in" he
said .grandly.
A moment later Santa Claus stood

flowing hair and beard. Teddy shook
hands and introduced the guest to his
aunt.

Teddy asked. "And how are the rein

"Of course we will CO." said Teddy
promptly II have never been in a

In afew moments the three were on
dfieir way, well protected from the
cold, bracing air by an abundance of
ftrs and wraps. There was no moon,
but after the lighted streets of the
town were past the stars shone down
on them brightly.
Teddy was wild with delight, and his
tongue ran on rapidly. At length there
were occasional pauses, then longer
ones interrupted by disjointed remarks.
Finally there was total silence. Fetch

1T NEVER shall forget our Christmas

We had poor cook on the job and
couldn't seem to find any other. AS a
result there had been men leaving
every day and constant grumbling all
the fall. and it came to head Christ
mas day.
It was beautiful, bright Colorado
Christmas. The men were to work
in the morning, have a turkey dinner
at noon and lay of in the afternoon.
The old man had bought three pounds
of turkey per man--450 pounds. The
birds had come out the day before.

They had come off work with their
mouths all made up for turkey, and
not table was set, not spark of fire
in the stove and $50 pounds of turkey
scattered over the section Of alkah
plain which formed the floor.
The battle was short. The men ran
in behind the cook, tripped him and
the minute he was down had a rope
around him.
"Hang him, hang himv' they roared
and started off with him to the meat

The British Constitution.

In England there is no such thing as
a constitution as we understand the
word in this country. The British con-
stitution is merely a mass of law con-

Of decided cases and accepted usages.
in conformity with which the govern
ment Of the country is carried on from
day to day. The constitution of the
United States is written and can be
read in twenty minutes time, while
the British constitution is unwritten
