to give their earnest consideration to the
candidates for the presidency and the
platforms of the several parties before
casting their ballots, by President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation Of
Labor in the official organ of that body,

President Gompers, in admonishing the
labor men to be careful of how they
vote, says in part:
with especial emphasis should each
voter who belongs to organized labor
scrutiniZe and study the attitude of each
candidate for the presidency, the avowed
intentions of his party. as set forth in
the party platform. and the course Of
action which the political groups have
pursued in the past upon the two leSis-
lative demands necessary to the just and
normal activities of organized labor-re-
lief from the Sherman antitrust law
and from the issuance of injunctions i'm
labor disputes. where such Injunction
would not apply if no labor dispute eX-

1t was not a genuine fir or cedar, but
it looked like tree. And the candles
and the strings of popcorn and glitter
ing ornaments hid many of it's faults.
To the surprise of Lucy, George was
not in sight. She looked all about for
him, in her delight, wishing to thank
him for his ingenious way of provid-
ing this make-believe tree for the lit
tie ones.
Mrs. Gillup went blithely on, taking
presents from the tree and distribut-
ing them. After passing out the gifts
for the children she picked off pack
ages and bundles for the older folk.
1t was noted that the tree sort Of
shook every time she took off one of
the seven rivals for Lucy. But at last
the final package had been disposed
of. Mrs. Gillup drew the curtain in
front of the tree again and the audi
ence filed out, laughing and chatting
over the success of the entertaipment.
Lucy did not hurry away with the
rest. She stepped back Of the curtain
with Mrs. iGillup.
"It was just lovely, Mrs. Gillup!"
she exclaimed. But why wasn't Mr..
Freeman here? After his hard work
and cleverness in helping you, should
have thought he would have wanted
to see how the tree looked"
81 expect he was pretty busy"
"And-of course, haven't any right
to expect such thing-but he was
such a good friend of mine, Mrs. Gill
lup-I really thought it little odd
that he didn't make me some kind of
present-just a remembrance, or"
81 didn't forget you, Lucy" said the
tree. "You can have me-"
And Mrs. Gillup says that Lucy
knew all about it all the time, because
she had sharp eyes, and no tree that
wore shoes could fool her.
The Yale expositor., 1912-12-12

unhappy because the dear children
could not have a tree.
Nov, Lucy" he said, I've arranged
1t all for you. Theren be Christmas
tree"
"Oh, have you got it? Where is it?
I didn't know you could get one."
1T isn't here yet, but therell be one
Christmas eve. Now, don't ask ques-
tions. Mrs. Gillup and l will fix it up
all right"
"But / must trim it up"
mo. Mrs. Gillup and I have ar
ranged for it all. You are not to worry
yourself about anything. Just you
gather your class together and be at
the church ats o'clock that evening,
and the tree will be there"
So Lucy, scenting mystery, and too
diplomatic to ask anything more, was
compelled to content herself with that
much information.
Towards dusk of the day before
Christmas George was seen carrying
several bulky bundles into the church.
Mrs. Gillup had spent some time in
COUltIGuC6 Will uliu JudL udy' 1ho
seven rivals had attempted to quiz
her, but she would not crafty their
curiosity further than to say that
there would be a tree They had asked
her-separately-if she would hang
their presents for Lucy on the tree,
and she had agreed to do so.
She and George, behind the drawn
curtains of the church, labored long
with curtain poles and string and a
profusion of green paper, to say moth
ing of several bundles Of artificial
palms and the like, which George had
unearthed among his stock.
When the audience was assembled
for the Christmas eve exercises Mrs.
Gillup slowly drew back curtain
which concealed one corner Of the
room, and there, with candles glowing
and green paper and green palm
branches rustling, stood a Christmas
tree. 1t was not an evergreen tree.

The polite lie is often solidified into

Henry Tarbuck says that as soon as

Eli Timmons says he doesn't see

paper and paying so cents to send it
to some one.
While you are sorry for the tired
salesman, like as not the salesman is

TAUGHT A MORAL LESSON
Two Christmas Presents, Neither Of
Which Brought Satisfactory
Results.

There once was rich old uncle who
had two poor nephews.
And when Christmas came the two
poor nephews were anxious to show
the rich old uncle how much they
thought of him.
Now the first poor nephew reasoned
that he should impress his rich old
uncle with the great affection he bore
him by some tangible means. So he
drew out his savings and purchased
for his rich old uncle a magnificent
gold watch, and had 1t neatly en-
graved To it he attached a gorgeous
chain, put the whole affair in a Law
ishly decorated box and sent 1t to his
rich old uncle with his best wishes.
The second poor nephew figured
that any extreme financial outlay
would convince his rich old uncle
that he was trying to jolly him a bit
too much, so he invested a nickel in a
neat but tasty Christmas card, which
he mailed to the rich old uncle.
So the rich old uncle received the
two remembrances, and said of the
first nephew:
"Humph! A man who will spend all
he has for gold watch to give man
who already has all the watches he
ever will need hasn't got enough
judgment to be trusted with money. l
will leave him my blessing and few
words of good advice"
When he looked at the card he nod
ded his head approvingly and said:
There's a man after my own heart.
He knew / would not care for an ex-
pensive gift, and he knew that l would
value his good wishes, so he very wise
ly sent them to me in this inexpensive
manner. He shows a marked economi-
cal trait and l am sure he will get
along in the world without any aid
from me-"
So he made a new will and left all
his money to found an institution for
the study of prehistoric manifestations
of microbic diseases in fossilized ami
malculae.
