The CHRISTMAS
Y EAR.
Observation-Disclosures

~ ROM little Southern village comes to us the
- story of woman who once lost Christmas
out of her year. Just before the day. misery
and disgrace, and, at last, crime came into
her family She carried the load for while,
and then fell under it, sick unto death The
blessed day dawned and passed. but she lying I'M
conscious and knew nothing of it. When she came to
herself the people of the had forgotten that there
ever had been Christmas. But the day had always
COUNTED for much to Jane. 1t seemed to her like a
word of cheer from God Himself her weary climb
upward giving her hope and strength and encourage
merit for the whole year to come
Jane kept the village post-ofice. She was apt to be
sharp and cross, because she was old and had
secret alment which at times tortured her. But when
she took up her work the very first day that she
was able to do so, it suddenly occurred to her:
"Why not pretend that this is Christmas Day, and
keep it, though nobody but God and me will know"
She opened the window and as she gave out the
letters had cordial word for every one of the neigh
bors outsde-chldren and hard-worked women and
feeble old They went away laughing and sur
prised, but strangely heartened When the office was
closed she bethought herself of gifts and baked some
of her famous crulers and carried them to folk so
poor that they had any crulers and to the old
paupers in the almshouse
She astonished each of Them too with the gift of
dollar.

thought "and they will feel rich for days" "In His
name she said to herself as she gave each of her
poor presents.
The little gifts held out for long time as she car
ried them from house to house. her face growing
kinder she went and her voice softer 1t seemed to
her that before had there been many sick TN
happy folk in the town. Surely it was right to make
them glad that He had among us-even if it were
not Christmas Day?
She very tired when she had finished her days
work. She thanked Him when she knelt down at
night that He had put it in her mind to keep His
day, in this secret fashion.
But she could not sleep for thinking of other poor
neghbors to whom she might have given some little
comfort or pleasure.
why not make them happier that He has come
tomorrow, well to-day" she thought with a
shock of delight in her discovery.
So to pass that this little postmstress made
a Christmas out of every day in that year for her
poor neighbors. When she had no more gifts for
them she threw herself into their lives; she nursed
them when they sick dragged them up when they
fell cried with them when they suffered and laughed
with them when they happy
And thus it that she taught them of her Mas
ter and led them to be glad every day of the year

HAD begun way back in November-the Sun
day after Thanksgiving when Saie Carter came
in late to church with gray astrakhan muff
The sermon was too "deep" for Vida, who had
- her hand at her face and almost asleep, when
her head ever so slightly, and peep through her
chubby fingers. There it stood the velvet cushion
beside Sale trim, warm, and lined with pearly gray
satin exactly like Mrs Carriers beautiful big one
but smaller by half. A great longing began to grow
in Vidas heart and she peeped again. this time at
Salle Sallies golden curls had fallen rioously
her shoulders hidining much of her face, but Vida
could enough And just then the came
to an end.
But from that day on till the I7th of December,
Vida thought of nothing but gray muff-how she
would look carrying it, how it would feel, and how
every Sunday afternoon she would let poor Dorothy
Haines carry for whole block just she had seen
generous Saie lend hers to The little lame girl in their
Sunday School class
On the 18TH of December great snow fell and all the
earth white. AT night the stars came out and the
moon full 1t the first snowstorm of the winter,
and Vda by the light of the blazing logs in the nursery
fireplace wrote her annual letter to Santa Claus post
ing it in the wndowsill In the morning. enough,
It was gone, and Vdas heart light She smiled at
Sallie from her pew, feeling that still another bond
to be established between Them and, on the
way home found and praised beauties in the gray
astrakhan muf. And so amidst greater good fellow
ship and happy expectations, the anxiousy-awated
Christmas drew apace.
The 25th fell on Sunday that year, and Saturday
morning dawned bright and clear. The long, fat
icicles, hanging above the nursery window gistened
in the sunlight, and the hemlock boughs swept the
ground under their weight of snow. Vida and her
mother standing together at the nursery window
with jingle of merry bells, the Carriers sleigh
drove by. Vida sighed contentedly.
Tomorrow" she said, = shall be carrying gray
astrakhan muff"
Her mother looked at her questionngly
Santa Claus will bring it to me-" Vida said in
answer to the look
Her mother laughed merrily 'Why, Vida dear"
she said "You asked Santa Claus for seven other
things you said so only this morning You
couldn't expect him to remember them all, and he's
as likely to forget the muf as the French doll or
the tea set It's foolish to count on any one thing
when you made so long list / told you TO be
moderate" And her busy mother hurried off in
answer to call from Aunt Jane.

NEW INSECT DESTROYER
WORKS TO PERFECTION

An insect destroyer, patented several
years ago by William II. Pool of 100
West Eighth South street, has been on
exhibition in Liberty park for the last
few nights.
Mr.. POOLS idea is that the only way
TO get rid of such pests as the aphis,
codling moth and the weevil is to catch
and kill them. His plan and means are
sim~le and the contrlvance which he
uses is inexpensive. 1t is composed of
small tank filed with water Over
this there is light. which is shielded
on one side. Insects which fy at night
are attracted by the light, fly against
the shield and fall into the water The
edges Of the tank are turned over the
water so that the insect cannot make
his escape by crawling up the sides.
The tank, when seen by Tribune re-
pSrter Tuesday evening, was covered
with insects of every conceivable va
riety, and more were coming in all the
time.
Park Commissioner Henry f. Heath
said he believed that five Of these in
sect destroyers would entirely clean the
park within two years time. Mr.. Pool
has already done considerable expert.
