It was not a genuine fir or cedar. but
it looked like a 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 gifts which had been provided by
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. Glllup.

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

There once was a 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 magnificent
gold watch, and had 1t neatly en-,
graved To it he attached a gorgeous
chain, put the whole affair in 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 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 membranes, and said OF the
first nephew:
'Humph! A man who will spend all
he has for a gold watch to give a man
who already has all the watches he
ever will need hasn't got enough
judgment to be trusted with money.
will leave him my blessing and few
words of good advice"
When he looked ut 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 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

and the tree will be there"
So Lucy, seeming 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
conference with him that day. The
seven rivals had attempted to quiz
her. but she would not crafty their
curiosity further than to say that
there would be 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 a 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.
