AN UP TO DATE
SANTA CLAUS
BY SUSAN BROWN ROBBINS.

M AUL FLETCHER was in the
~ drawing room waiting for Ida
II to come. Ida lived with her
brother, and every time Fletch-
er called to see her either the brothers
wife or his children were in the room,
so 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
coming till evening, Fletcher could say
to her those things he had been long
ing to say, but which he could not
bring himself to write in n letter nor
to declare before the assembled family.
At length, after what seemed a very
long waiting, some one was coming.
He stood up and looked eagerly to-
ward the doorway. The portiere was
Teddy. who, in Fletcher's opinion, was
the worst pill in the whole box as far
as staying power and keen observa
tion were concerned.
Hello. Teddy" he said, not very
cordially. II thought you had gone to
spend Christmas with your grandma"
81 didn't CO." said Teddy.
DO you expect a visit from Santa
Claus tonight?"
"Oh. s'pose So" wearily. "I'd just
like to sec him. though" His manner
grew more animated.

I'D tell him what think of him."
"And what is that?"
"Oh, that think he's fraud! Pre-
tending he comes in sleigh when the

And reindeers too! Who does he think
is going to believe that? Why doesn't
he come on a bicycle?"
His fur overcoat would be rather in
the way" said Fletcher gravely. "And

THAT CHRISTMAS PIE.
Confession of the Sinner Who
Doctored the H1incemeat.

It had been our family custom to put
brandy in all the mince pies and 10
put in at Christmas time a 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-
tion to Christmas dinner. A vote was
taken at the family table 1--WE were a
democratic householdI. and 1t 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 l, for one. resolved to do the deed.
Accordingly l sought out the big stone
crock in which repoSed the mince-
meat and poured in what l thought
was a 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 q generous
amount of the strong stuff.
With hearts as high as the flaky pie
crust itself we all watched mother
carve that pie and serve it.
The Rev. jeremiah Scroggins. be-
cause of an expressed fondness for pie.
was given big portion.
No sooner had we tasted of the fine
dish than we discovered that that pie
was nothing short of small sized dis
tillery. 1t was branded as no other
pie had been since the birth of time.
You can imagine the cold chills which
went round tn, festal board as we
watched the Rev. Jeremiah begin to
| eat. l believe l actually shivered as
| the first forkful went mouthward.
The first mouthful was followed by
second and the second by third
Finally he had finished the whole por-
| tion, and he settled back in his chair.
We saw he was bit embarrassed and

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 epon the ex-
cellence of this pie. 1t has a most
delicious flavor. | confess l never
tasted anything like it. Would you

not know how to ride, and, besides,
how would he bring the presents?"
"What's the use of presents, any
way? / never have anything that's
any good"

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
in, 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
before him, tall, fur clad figure with
flowing hair and beard. Teddy shook
hands and introduced the guest to his
aunt.

natures in ninety days and the ORR
ginal strain has been on a few farms
in Maine since 1860. 1t now yields uni
formly and makes the farms where it
is planted pay dividends.
Looking at the situation from the
New England standpoint, the drain
on the savings banks is considerable
to secure corn from the west, when it
is also taken into consideration that
the East buys her beef, butter, flour
and many other items from the west.
In Omaha it happens that Is, 100000
pounds of butter are made annually,
and it is sold to the east for some
thing over 100000.
To secure the corn the east must
bid against the markets of the world
and New England usually pays high
in order to secure the grain. Year by
year the tendency in the west grows
stronger to ship the grain south.

Five preachers in Central City.
Neb., are bothered with baseball play-
ing on Sunday, and they have been
trying various schemes to circumvent
the. descration of the Sabbath day by
turning the alleged pleasure into
some benefit to themselves. Sunday
baseball in the little town is said to
be highly popular and about every
body in the town goes out to the
game in the afternoon. The pastors
have finally hit upon the plan to go
out to the ball game just after the
last man is out, and then start up re-
ligious services before the immense
crowd. The first time they did it the
scheme was successful and many a
man heard the gospel, preached to
him who had not been inside of a
church for years. What seemed to ap-
peal to the crowd in general was that
the preachers met the people on their
own ground and they couldn't we'll
leave under the circumstances.

and later having to send securities in
order to get the use of some money
paid for wheat, corn and other food
supplies, has grown tiresome to peo-
pie of the east and their agricultural
colleges propose to begin q campaign
at once to grow at least a larger per-
centage of the grain consumed at
home. New England even proposes to
have a corn show next year in order
to stimulate interest Of farmers and
induce them to plant and grow corn
on the farms for years supposed to
be worn out"
A. w. Gilman, Commissioner Of
Agriculture for Maine at Augusta,
says "The East for many years has
been sending her money for the agri-
cultural products of the west. but
corn has so advanced in recent years
that we must take the matter up with
our own people and arouse ar inter
est in raising corn in the east"
One of the propositions is for the
six New England states to join to-
gether and give a New England Corn
Exposition, probably in the fall of
1910. The entire United States will
be invited and then New England
proposes to send the prize winning
corr to the National Corn Exposition.
That corn can be produced in the
