American customs and modes OF life.
Eddie had expected to return at
the end OF four years to America.
but the people insisted on his staying
at least one year longer.
Alice sat crying At the window.
when suddenly the postman came to
the door and called, ~ Package and

ouainted with the little children In

They said. We have never had q
Christmas" and said they were going
to have one this time, although they
were very poor. So the time came
for this little boy to 80 to his home
goodbye he said he would help them
TO have . Christmaa
After Jasper left the two largest

Annie and Wllie's Prayer

Twas the eve before Christmas, good
night had been said,
And Annie and Willie had crept into
bed.
There were tears on their pillows ana
tears in their eyes,
And each little bosom was heavy with
signs.
Fer tonight their stern fathers COM
mand had been given,
That they should retire precisely at
seven instead Of at eight,
For they troubled him more with
questions unheard OF than ever
before.
He told them he thought thin N de-
fusion of sin.
No such thing as Santa Claus ever
had been.
And he hoped after this b should
never more hear.
How ne scrambled down the chimney
with presents each year.
And this was the reason that the two
little heads
So restlessiy tossed on their soft.
downy beds.
Eight, MAE. the clock In the nteepls
tolled ten.
Not a word had been spoken by either
TIL then,
When Willie's sad face from the blan-
ket did peep.
And whispered, Dear Annie In you
fast asleep?"
why. no. brother Willie." q sweet
voice replies,
i've tried II In vain, but ! can't shut
my eyes,
For somehow II makes me so sorry
because
Dear papa has said there is no Santa
Claus.
Now we know that there la. and It
can't be denied.
For he came every night before NAM
But I've been thinking that she used
TO pray,
And God would hear everything mann
ma would say.
And perhaps she asked Him TO send
Santa Claus here.
With the sack full OF presents he
brought every year"
Well. why tan't we pay. sest m man.
ma did. then.
And ask Him 70 send him with pres
ents adin?"
I've been thinking 500 too" and with
out . word more
the floor.
And four little knees the soft carpet
pressed,
And two siny hands ciaspsd close to
each breast
Now, While. you know we must
firmly believe
That the presents We ask for we are
sure to receive.
You must walt just as still till say
Amen.
And by that time you win know that
your time has come then"
Dear Jesus. look down on my BROTH
or and me.
And grant US the favor we are asking
OF Thee.
I want a wax doll, tea set and ring.
And an ebony work-box that shuts
with a spring.
Bless papa, dear Jesus. and cause him
to see
That Santa Claus loves us far better
than he.
Don't let him set fretful and angry
again
With dear brother Willie and Annie.
Amen!"
Please, Jesus, let Santa Taus tum
down tonight.
And bring us some presents before
1t 10 light.
want he should dive me a nice lit
tie SLED,
With bright. shiny runners ell paint

A box fun OF tandy, book and n toy
Amen, and then, Jesus, III be a good
boy"
Their prayers being ended and also
answered, they raised up their +,
heads,
And with light and cheerful faces !
agalnFt sought their beds. A.,
They were soon lost in slumber, both
peaceful and deep.
70 soon find that Santa Claus had ,
been.
