Christmas Compassion

Christmas is the one day or the year
when we remember the failures, the men
and women who have fallen short of the
mark, the human derelicts. In the fierce
commercial race we crowd these to the
wall without thought and without COM
junction for 1854 days of the year, but
through the Salvation Army and other
charitable agencies give them dole on

Christmas Treasures

I count my treasures Ger with care
little toy that baby knew,
A little sock of faded hue,
A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Chr .stmas time
My little one-my all to me
Sat robed in white upon my knee
And heard the merry Christmas chime.
"Tell me, my little golden head,
If Santa Claus snou d come tonight
What shall he bring my baby bright,
What treasure for my boy?" l said.
And then he named the little toy,
While in his round and truthful eyes
There came look of glad surprise
That spoke his trustful, childish joy.
And as he lisped his evening prayer
He asked the boon with baby grace,
And, toddling to the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
That night as lengthening shadows crept
/ saw the white winged angels come
With music to our humble home
And kiss my darling as he slept.
He must have heard that baby prayer,
For in the morn, with glowing face,
He toddled to the chimney place
And found his little treasure there.
They came again one Christmastide,
That angel host so fair and white,
And, singing all the Christmas night,
They lured my darling from my side.
A little sock, little 10Y,
A little lock OF golden hair,
The Christmas music on the air,
A-watching for my baby boy.
But if again that angel train
And golden head come back for me
To bear me to eternity
My watching will not he in vain

time TO REAp.D

On the prairie one had time to
read. l heard Arthur's mother say
that there was so little time for chill
dren to read when they we're going
to school, and | wondered. | didn't
see how there could be such a thing
as not having time to read. You
don't think about taking time to
read-you just read. The only oc-
casion when we thought of time was
when we were hurrying through one
book to get to another waiting, and
holding out fascinating promise that
FASTENED our progress toward it. And
then it was so quiet on the prairie.
The general whooping of life was so
far away that it did not call us from
books with the insistence of its noise.
Its activity became history or ro-
nance before it reached us.-Mar-
garet Lynn, in the Atlantic.

Years ago | was in America and
went down with the English minis
ter to the United States to a small
inn in Virginia, where we were to
meet Mr.. Marcy, the then United
States secretary Of state, and a reci-
procity between Canada and the
United States was to be quietly dis
cussed. Mr.. Marcy, the most genial
of men, was as cross as a bear. He
would agree to nothing. "What on
earth is the matter with your chief ?"
Il said to a secretary who accompa-
MED him. Gle does not have his
rubber of whist" answered the sec
rotary. After this every night the
minister and l played at whist with
Mr.. Marcy and his secretary, and
every night we lost. The stakes were
very trihing, but Mr.. Marcy felt
Aattered by beating the Britishers at
what he called their own game. His
good humor returned, and every
morning when the details Of the
treaty were being discussed we had
our revenge and scored a few point;
