our own ballots is popular slogan
at the Trades and Labor Assembly
nall IN Des Moines. Press reports
from Sioux City and other labor
centers show that similar evidences

man applies to any set of men. The

SIMPLE GIFTS BRING
LOVING MESSAGES
SECOND PRIZE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
=" Ellen ADAMS was a girl of about
III eighteen years. She was the only
H daughter of rich parents, and
every Christmas she was accustomed
to give and receive great numbers OF
presents. She bought with disregard
of appropriateness or beauty and con
sidered only the costliness. of the gift.
She had one friend. Esther Baird,
who was different from her other rich
friends. She lived in com1 ortaple
but none too wealthy home. Helen
liked to be with Esther because she
was so simple and sincere.
One afternoon when she was talking
with Esther. whom she had come TO
visit, she exclaimed: "Oh, l don't
know what to give for Christmas pres
ents, il does bore me so!'
Esther answered: That's because
you deny yourself all the pleasure
there is in it,
"Why what pleasure do you find IN
it?" asked Helen in surprise.
ST first try to find out what people
want for Christmas, then l give them
the thing they want most, if l can. l
always give simple gifts. People APP
preciate simple gifts more than costly
ones. And most of all, give it with
the spirit Of good cheer, and let TINS
thought go with it, it is more blessed
to give than TO receive Now my ser
mons over. | will show you some OF
my gifts, if you care to see them.
Helen gave eager assent, and Esther
went over to a drawer and took out a
box, which she opened. Inside were
simple gifts, like which Helen had
never given in her life Some were
Fsther's own work. Little crocheted
baby Jackets and caps and shaWlS'
she eyplained, for her friends in the
poorer quarters of the city. She had
also made scrap-books out of linen for
the children, besides many little gifts
for her own friends.
Helen went home with the determin-
alton to interest herself in her CHRIST
mas shopping that Christmas.

MAKES LITTLE GIRL HAPPY

"Whe-e-e ain't we going to have a
good time though?" said Mary as they
entered the crowded store. Mary was
very poorly dressed little girl, but
was with richly dressed lady.
The rich lady, Mrs. Morris, had
been a close friend of Marys mother
in their girlhood days. Mrs. Morris
had married into a wealthy family
While Marys mother, Mrs. Saunders,
was very poor, indeed
After Mr. Saunders had died it was
all she could do to keep little Mary
from starving.
Mrs. Morris had found her again and
had promised to take Mary to do some
shopping. She was to buy anything
she wanted for her little friends or for
her relatives.
First she went to the doll counter
where she bought a doll for the little
lame girl who lived next to her in the
tenement house. Then she bought a
set of doll dishes for another chum.
She bought something for everyone she
knew. She had fur set for her moth
err and a suit of good clothes and a
hat.
When she came out of the store her
arms were piled high with bundles.
Then Mrs. Morris had the driver take
them to the tenement house where
Mary lived.
when Christmas day came Mrs. Nor
ris had a great surprise for Mary and
her mother.
She was lonely because her husband
was dead and she wanted Mrs. Saun-
ders and Mary to come and live with
her.
They went to live in Mrs. Morris
beautiful home and Mary got a good
education. BESSIE LUDFORD.

MARY GOES SHOPPING
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Look at those windows, mamma!
o look!"
Mrs. Grant turned toward the shop
to which Mary had called her atten-
ton 1t was a large window, very
bright and CHEEKY and filled with
pretty Christmas gifts.
"Do you want to look for Christmas
presents there, Mary?" asked Mrs.
Grant
ooh yes, please, mammal
They had been in the store but
few minutes when Mary called her
mother to look at a pretty handker-
chief case.
wouldn't t?" she said Mrs. Grant
picked it up and examined it care
Are you sure you want that,
Mary?"
yes, if you think it's all right,
mamma"
"That's a very nice piece of work,
ma'am," said the shop girl.
"How much is it, please?" asked
"Tt's % cents, marked down from so
cents"
'WelI. I guess I'll take it," said Mary,
as she laid down a bright quarter.
"Is there anything else?" asked the
shop girl.
NO that will be ALL" Mrs. Grant
replied.
Lets go up in the toy department,
mamma" said Mary, as with their
first Christmas package they started
down the aisle.
Very we'll; we shall. Come, its
this way. dear" Mrs. Grant led the
way to the elevator.
"Third floor" she said to the man.
Up they went to the toy department.
Mary at once caught up Teddy bear
and A doll. "These will do nicely for
Dick and Dot, mamma"
The doll and bear were wrapped up
and paid for, and then mamma said
that was enough Christmas shopping
that day.
