The Wonderful Tree.

There Is a tree SO wonderful
1t springs up in a day
When all the earth is chill with frost
And summers far away,
For brighter than the rainbow shines
This rare and wondrous tree
With silver wreaths and golden vines
That glisten far and free.
And secrets hang upon its boughs
In wrappings gay and smart.
You gaze at them with wistful ayes
And longing. beating heart.
AS IN the light of tapers bright
The tree is all aflame-
All, now you smile, and I suspect
You have found out its name!
But car O tell who planted it
To blossom once a year
And bring to children everywhere
Its precious gifts and cheer?
Twas the Christ child 50 meek and mild
Wfo. in a manager born,
Thus speaks his love to little folk
On every Christmas morn.
Youths Companion.

"And there, running and skipping
along the edge, was a little girl. While
I was watching her she stumbled and

SAFE REMEDY ENDS
CATARRH M|SERIES
Gives Instant Relief, Cures and Pre-
vents Catarrh and Cold in
the Head.

The quickest, best and safest way
to cure catarrh or a cold in the head
is by using a remedy that will
touch the spot" and do it's work
quickly without leaving any bad
effects. ;Ely's Cream Balm, which
is applied to the nostrils or rubbed
on the throat or chest gets right at
the root of the trouble and instant
ly relieves even the worst case of
catarrh or cold. A few minutes
after applied you can feel a loosen
ing up in the head, the pain and
soreness are gone, the sense of taste,
smell and hearing come back, and
you feel like different person.
Ely's Cream Balm cleanses, heals
and strengthens the int1amed men,
branes, takes away that stuffed up
feeling and dull pain in the head,
relieves the throat soreness and stops
the nasty discharge which is the
cause of the disgusting hawking,
splitting, blowing o fthe nose, and
foul breath. Hay fever victims who
are made miserable by fits of sneez-
ing, coughing and wheeling get in
slant and permanent relief by the
use of this simple remedy. 49,.
Don't suffer another minute. Ely's
Cream Balm will relieve you imme-
diately, and a SO cent bottle will
more than likely work a complete
cure. ALI druggists sell it.

KIND PEASANTS OF BRITTANY

tents Of Cupboard and viii
Not Ask Tor Pay,

In Brittany all peasants carry their
own knives; and as for forks, they
have no use for them. George Whar-
ton Edwards tells, in BRITTANY and
the Bretons," of a visit to an inn
where he met with the proverbial
Breton hospitality.
An old withered Breton woman sat
at the tlreside, busily knitting at q
Jersey Of blue wool, and three men sat
at a table, playing some sort Of game
with dominoes.
The men gave no apparent heed to
eur entrance, but knew we were be-
ing discussed In their patois.
We asked for bread, butter and q
pitcher of cider, which was forth
coming. but no knives were brought.
Noting our predicament, the three
men at once produced their knives,
immense horn-handied affairs, and aft
or w1ping them very carefully and
considerably on their coat sleeves,
they opened and proffered them to us.
"And now, madame" said I, what
shall I pay you?"
'tFive sous for the cider, m'sieur.
There Is no charge for the bread, for
is not that the gift Of bon Dieu?"
Thus it is throughout this strange
land Of Brittany. One may travel
from end to end away from the large
cities, and everywhere meet with tho
same hospitality. The peasant will
willingly share with you what he has
in the cupboard, and will not ask for
pay.
