HIS POSTSCRIPT A STUNNER
Disastrous End to Mothers Ef-
forts to Keep Small Boy En-
gagged While Dressing.

1t was Saturday, and Mrs.
Cushman, having arrayed Bob
by in his Sunday best, was en-
deavoring to keep him occupied
while she dressed hurriedly,
pending visit to the photo
grapher. Write mother let

she coaxed.
Bobby looked out of the win

spiration-and found it. His
fingers moved briskly, and in
less than three minutes he was
displaying his letter and press
ing it to his mothers attention.
Dear mother, she read.

"That is rather short, Bob

with a glance at the clock. You
go back to your room and write

Bobby departed joyously, but
when the last refractory hook
had yielded and his mother
drawing on her gloves, hurried
to his room, it was empty.
On Bobby's desk lay the let

THLS PECULIAR WORLD.

This is a peculiar world. One
is struggling for justice and an
other is fleeing from it. One
man is saving to build house
and another is trying to sell his
for less than cost to get rid of
it. One man is spending all the
money he can make in taking a
girl to the theater and sending
her flowers with the hope of
making her his wife, while his
neighbor is spending what gold
he possesses in getting a di-
vorce. One man escapes all the
diseases that flesh is heir to and
gets killed on a railroad. An
other escapes with a scratch and
dies with the whooping cough.
One man stands off his credit
ors and goes travelling, while an
other pays his debts and stays
at home.-Broadside. -

RustIinq of Leaves.

Until few years ago Hampshire
rustics used to sit up till II o'clock
on old Christmas night, and as soon
as they heard the leaves rustling they
went to the nearest comstall to watch
the animals get up and lie down on
the other side. The idea Of watching
the animals arose from the belief that
at IL o'clock on the night of the Ma
t1Vty oxen knelt in their stalls in honor
OF the event; that the rustling of the
leaves refers to the tradition that
thorn trees blossom ~at midnight to
commemorate the Saviour's birth.
Cornish folk believe that sheep turn
to the east and bow their heads on
old Christmas night in memory of the
sheep belonging to the shepherds at
Bethlehem, and in Yorkshire bees
hum in their hives on the same occa-
sion.

thought Of the honor that was before
her. Marcia had not yet learned
to shrug her shoulders at high
position and august officials. She
had been in Washington only three
weeks. That she was soon to have
peep at the wonders of which she had
heard so much seemed like a part of
the fairy lore which she had loved
as a child. She wished that there
was some one. who might share her
pleasure. But she had made no friends,
so she shifted from one foot to the
other, moving forward slightly as far
up at the other end of the line peo-.
pie were admitted through magic
door.
1t was very cold, but Marcias heart
was warm. For the first time in her
life she was earning money, and she
was sending part of it home Then
too, she had a new hat, which was a

parson called out the number of the
good old favorite Christmas hymn:

The congregation, equipped with
their new books, turned the pages rap
idly and were ready. The organ
struck up the tune that everybody
knew. And Justify sang the people,
gazed steadfastly on the written
words:
Hank the herald angels sing,
Takers pills are just the thing"
The parson listened, looked, brush

ment's panic passed over the church.
But it passed. Then on into another
verse they plunged:
Peace on earth and mercy mild

coughed, c'osed his hook, and the serv-
ice broke up in confusion Every
body had forgot that the generous

THE CALL OF CHRISTMAS
Inspiration Of Time Should Bring Us
Deeper Sense of Personal Re-
sponsibiIitY.

1t is Christmas time, and at this
moment the call is to lift up our
hearts and welcome the Light Of the
World, to rest for while in the glory
of that light; not, indeed, forgetting
the lessons he would have US learn,
nor those great servants of his who
taught us to know and love ard work,
and have passed away; but in thank
fulness and alteration seeking to learn
more and mere how he would have
us serve him. The inspiration of this
blessed time should bring us deeper
sense of personal responsibility and
of our duty to our neighbor in regard
to questions touching the general well
fare; and, beyond all, a deeper faith
that faith by which mountains can be
removed-and a truer love, a devotion
that can bear even the reproach of the
cross, if permission may but be grant
ed to share in bearing a part OF that
burden.
The advent of Christ makes us debt
ors to God and man. 1t is therefore
not for US to question whether others
are kind to us, as whether there is
love, gentleness, meekness, sympathy
and helpfulness in our own lives, or
not. With this spirit of the season
reflected and perpetuated in the life,
Christmas giving will resolve itself
into Christ-like giving every day from
Christmastide to Christmastide of ev-
cry year of grace. Christ came not to
be ministered unto, but to minister, to
suffer, and to die for others, even his
enemies. Rising far above the lower
aim of getting and gaining solely for

from the fairy godmother's shoulders
der ones, and then the crowd, looking
on saw two exquisitely gowned women,
side by side, the younger one blushing
beautifully over her bouquet of yiolets
and valley lilies.
The rest was a dream to little Mar
cia-the entrance into the brilliantly
lighted rooms, the music, the rustic of
silken gowns. the presentation to the
president She drew a great breath of
delight, as she settled herself finally
in corner of the east room
But there was more to follow, for In
a few moments the fairy godmother
sent the prince He was the nephew
of the beautiful lady and he was to
take care of Marcia.
And he did take care of her, most
g1aciously, and he talked with her as
if she were a princess instead of a
very shabby little girl, with her shah
biness covered by a borrowed cloak.
Aren't you warm?' he said to her
once, and Marcia said, hurriedly: "Oh,
no." But when he said again: Il think
you'd better let me take your wrap"
she laughed and confessed:
ITS your aunt's cloak, and wish
you could see what a very shabby lit
tie suit am wearing under it,
And the prince said the cloak wasn't
any prGttier than the hat, and that
the hair under the hat was the pref
test of all, and just then the beauti-
full lady came along and asked: Have
you made friends with my boy. Mar
cia?"
Il think he is lovely" she said, and
blushed prettily.
She was carried off to dinner with
the beautiful lady, and the prince went
too. And when Marcia took off the
cloak hu said he liked her in her sim
pie little suit. only you must still
wear the qiolets, because they match
your eyes
1t was al very dear and delightful
but that night when Marcia went home
to her poor little apartment she told
herself that. of course, she must not
expect anything more. 1t was New
Years fairy tale, and that was all.
But the beautiful lady came every
day and took Marcia out with her, and
often the prince was there, and at last.
one day, Marcia said: Dear beautiful
lady, you must not, you are spelling me
for everyday things"
Int hn ,nf hot ho
son for her protest was because of the
prince. He was such a charming
prince, and she felt that for her own
peace of mind she must not see too
much of him
And as Marcia withdrew more and
more, the prince one day demanded of
the fairy godmother: Where's our
Cinderella"
"She insists" the old lady smiled,
ION sitting in the ashes. She says we
are too fine for her with our pumpkin
coaches and our palaces"
"Humph,' said The prince. 81 guess
we will see about that" He there
upon sought Marcia in her shabby
apartment.
Marcia's face was radiant as she
welcomed him. But you must not
come again, "she said, when he was
leaving
why not?"

not a real reason.
