carried off the sled full of young trees
but no one noticed that the little fiji
was gone
And the night before Christmas tn,
wind blew and blew again until the
little fir tree stood upright on its stem
and the little fir went hopity-hop, hop
ity-hop until 1t came to the house
where the children lived
Then out from the forest came tn,
white-tailed deer and the big rabbit
and the little white owl and the deeI
pushed softly against the door of tn,
cottage and the owl pecked at the
lock, and the rabbit hunched and hi
with his hind feet until the door wa,
opened, And then the little FIR tree
bent Its head and went in and stood
In the corner OF the room, and the
three wild things of the forest went
softly from room to room, and came
back with things to hang on the tree
And last of all the little gray owl flew
to the topmost branch and hung there
the pink wax angel with golden wings
They are good children said the
little white owl. as he flew down again
When the winter is cold they hans
scraps of meat for me on the trees"
And they put carrots in the PATH
said the rabbit. "and cabbage, so that
| may not go hungry
And behind the barn they dror
armfuls of sweet juicy hay" said the
deer, that | may come in the night
and feed"
And the little fir tree said: They
are good children. and | would rather
be here than in the big, big city. And
then 1t whispered, Goodnight and
the wild things went away.
And in the morning when the chill.
dren came, they cried. "Oh, father.
father. look at the beautiful tree,r
And the lumberman came in and cried
in establishment. who brought II
here?' And the little fir tree whisper
ed and sang
Il ran away from the forest. I ran
away"
But they could not understand, and
so they stared and wondered, and AT
last the lumberman said. 1T is too
late to carry it now to the city. so il
can stay And at that the children
cried. "A Merry Christmas to ALL"
And the fir tree whispered happily. "A
Merry Christmasl" And out in ths
forest the owl and the rabbit and the
white-tailed deer wished each other
"A Merry Christmas as they hur
ried away through the snow.-E venin.

! Mss-sSs. Dee. 17.--Jose Santos 70
Iays has resigned from the presidene,
Of Nicaragua. He placed his resigna
ton IN the hands OF congress yester
day
Apparently there was no other course
to take. The people were aroused II
last. The guns Of the revolutionists
threatened The warships Of the United
States lay in Nicaraguan ports
Manaaua has been seething for days.
The spirit Of revolt has spread even to
the gates Of the palace. zelaya has
surrounded himself with an armed
guard. Unchecked the popuIaee has
marched through the streets, crying for
the end Of the old and proclaiming tho
new regime.
Who will take up the reins no one
knows or cares. 1t Is sufficient that
Zelaya as dictator viii be known NO
more. There Is no doubt that congress
will act quickly on his resignation, for
the people have demanded it.
DR.. Jose Madriz, Judge Of the Cen
trail American court Of justice at Car
tago, who has been close to zelaya, and
is now bis choice for president. Is on
bis way here. He will arrive ON Sat
urday. Madriz has his following,
strong and influential, even among the
but General Estrada I'M
der whose cSumsnd the body Of fight
ing insurgents now faces Vasquez'
troops at Rama, will have none Of him.
Estrsda's word will bear weight in
the choice Of president.
ZeiayH has known, too, that Madriz
is not acceptable to the United States,
and he has sought to learn who would
be looked upon with favor by that
government as his successor, but the
American government, so far as can be
learned, has named no man, and the
choice probably will lie with those who
have gained the upper hand.
