History of Red Cross Seals.

Red Cross Christmas Seals date
back in their origin to "charlty
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1862, dur
ing the Civil War. After the war,
this method of raising money was
discontinued in this country for a
generation, although it found vogue
in Portugal, Switzerland, Austria,
France, Spain,s Denmark, Norway,
Russia, Sweden and other European
countries. There are now several
hundred different types Of charity
stamps used in all parts of the world,
as many as forty being used in Aus
tria for children's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosls
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904. After being used in these
countries for three years, as direct
rsult of the interest of Jacob Riis In
this movement, the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis Association, headed Dy
Miss Emily P. Bissell, and the Red
Cross Society of Delaware, combined
insissuing a tuberculosis Stamp. So
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized, and the
next year, in 1908, the American
Red Cross was induced to issue
National Red Cross tuberculosis
Stamp. From this sale, $135,O00
was realized, that amount being al
most doubled in 1909. Last year,
for the first time, the sale was Or
ganized on a comprehensive basis,
taking in all parts of the United
States, and $4,000 worth were
sold. In 1911, the slogan for the
campaign is, "a Million for Tuber-
culosis from Red Cross Seals

The reply was sniff from Amabel,

Andrew grated his teeth. This was
true, but not pleasant.

whats the matter?" Mr.. Tuttle

asked.
'"Where Is he?" said voice.
"Where's who?"
"Patrolman Jones telephoned that
he saw a man breaking into your
house."
Andrew shivered with alarm. This
was a predicament. To be arrested
as a burglar, to be carted off to JAIL,
without a chance to explain. He
peered from behind the bookcase and
saw Amabel dreamily hanging her
stocking. He swiftly came from his
hiding place, and silently hurried to
her side. Taking the package from
his pocket, he whispered:
"Amabel! II forgot to tell you
love you, and here's my proposal, and
the engagement ring, tool"
The mere fact that he had appeared
thus mysteriously at her side did not
appeal to Amabel. She did not think
of that at all. She said:
"Oh, Andrew"
And she then allowed herself to
fall into his arms.
That there was much excited con.
versation in the hall, that men were
running around the house and peering
into dark corners in the basement and
in the upper rooms was something Of
which Andrew and Amabel were en-
tirely unaware. Mr.. and Mrs. futile
came back, after the ofhcers had gone
away utterly bewildered. Even they
had been so excited that the presence
Of Andrew struck them as nothing I'M
usual. Amabel's shy but delighted an.
nouncement of her engagement was re-.
ceived merrily, however. In fact,
father and mother futile and the
young people got 80 deep in their
plans for the future that they almost
forgot the incident until suddenly Mr..
futile said:
II wonder who the dickens that
burglar was, anyhow"

The sunshine-making fairies
We loved ere we grew wise,
Don't seem to come around now
Not even in disguise.
But whisper-(This is magic!)
They did not all depart,
For here's a fairy "sticker'
To match a broken heart.
Don't ask the why or wherefore,
Or who they are who weep,
The fairies hear the sad things
, While happy people sleep.
Don't buy because you're frightened
Your own cheer may depart.
The widows mite was mighty
Through goodness in her heart!
So when you're Christmas-happy,
Remember, as you should,
Good will is more than being
Just willing to be good
So kiss the seal and stick it
COR else the charm will fail)-
The finger-print of fairies
On everything you mail!

She carelessly reached up and ad.
justed the spray Of mistletoe, smiling
also at Andrew. Andrew stood there,
turning the package over and over III

abel thought We never will know.
There must be times while a woman

AS she spoke of the old customs
she once more pushed the spray OF
mistletoe up into place. This time
Andrew saw it, and away down deep
in his heart he wished he were just a
good friend of Amabel's.

AudUel was just ouCA q
young woman as just such young
man as Andrew would .ardently desire
to present with his throbbing heart
and the contents of the neat package.
The latter contained ring, set with
single diamond. The throbbing
heart contained what Andrew was
ready to promise should be lifelong
devotion to Amabel.
Why go into detail regarding the
whole year during which he had laid
siege to the heart of Amabel?
There had been moments this
Christmas eve when Andrews fingers
nervously sought his breast pocket.
Amabel knew he was on the verge Of
proposing. Gracious mercy! The
woman who cannot diagnose threat
ened proposal IS no woman at all.
The stammering speech, the flushed
brow, the hesitant remarks, the fixity
of stare-all these and many other
symptoms are to the average woman
what temperature and respiration are
to the specialist in fevers.
4 For some unexplained reason women
Alike to postpone !; a proposals .Ehey
prolong the agony. They enjoy the
signs. the awkwardness, the anxiety,
of the swain. They revel in his alb
ject willingness to sacrifice himself,
If need be. to gain their promise.
It may be that instinct teaches
them this is the only moment when
the man will be slave.
At last, however, 1t became time for
Andrew to say goodnight. 1t was
Christmas eve, and he knew Amabel's
family would have some little prepare
tions to make for the festivities Of
the / orrow. He did not think for a
ment of the tremendous fact that
when young woman allows young
man to spend Christmas eve with her
she is writing YES" in large letters
on the wall. No man can realize any
thing at such times
Andrew said he must be going, after
Amabel had began to wonder If he
was going to talk about the weather
and the latest book all evening.
Must you go, really?" she asked,
brightly. wait just a moment. !

She went into another room, then

Andrew Hillington, with
a neat little package In

Little Drops of Water"

Little drops of water
Little grains OF sand
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
SO the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
OF eternity.
So the little errors
Lead the soul away
From the path of virtue
Far in sin TO stray.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words OF love,
Help to make earth happy
Like the heaven above.
