True Christmas Spirit.

How little we realize the effect Of a
Iehance remark.
This was thoroughly impressed on my
mind the other day. l was walking
through a large store finishing my
Christmas shopping and as I wound my
way among the throng. all of whom
seemed bent on the same GRAND.
overheard the following remark as two
women passed by my side for an in
slant
You know" said one. that Mary's
gift to me last Christmas was so poor
that i
And then they passed on and the
rest of the sentence was lost, but not
at all hard to imagine. 1t may seem
foolish. but that chance remark spoiled
the day for me. for ! could not get
Mary and her poor gift out OF my mind.
She may have been a wage-earner. who
by much sacrifice had saved enough TO
purchase the poor little gift which
had been received with such disdain.
Can we not get behind the gift and
see the heart of the giVer in these to-
kens of love and friendship, for SO they
should be, and If they cannot be sent
with these motives 1t were better that
they were not sent at all.
remember well one Christmas when
seemed particularly blessed with
gifts, many of which were very beauti-
full. thai none gave me more pleasure
than those which came from two little
lads who had purchased them at the
} and 10 cent store. l happened to
know that n cents apiece was all they
mad with which to purchase their Christ
mas gifts.
II We keep in mind the wonderful gift
of the Christ child, all sordid and selfish
feeling must take flight as darkness he
fore the sun. F. II. G.

New York. Dec. 13-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Despite cross currents in trade, reflect
ing the advance of the year toward its
close, business as a whole is still active.
and industry Is so in a high degree. In
Wholesale lines the situation is one Of
light stocks and inslstent demand. job
bling trade reflects more and more the in
fiuence Of holiday demand. and orders
from statesmen are smaller, while mail
business is larger, especially in recorders
to NIL broken stocks. II is in the retail
trade that the chief reflection is found
OF the advent Of colder weather and the
near approach OF the holidays. In the
West and Northwest trade in seasonable
goods has been stimulated by colder
weather. as well as the near approach OF
the year-end holidays. In the Southwest
trade is good. especially so In Texas. In
the South Atlantic States business is bet
ter at retail but Wholesale trade is duh.
''In Industrial lines there is no apparent
let-up in the general activity heretofore
noted. Iron and steel. coal. coke. lum-
Der, and cotton goods concerns are full
OF business, and the chief complaint is
lack OF help and car congestion, but sta
tlstiCalIy the latter situation has eased
In raw wool considerable activity IS noted
and prices are strong. in sympathy with
foreign markets. The shoe factories have
a larger reserve of shoe orders than
year ago. but seasonable quiet rules the
wholesale lines. and the leather markets
are also less active. Money is in Very &c
tive demand the country over and rates
are high.
Business failures for the week ending
December l. were 80 against ~ last
week and 90 a year ago

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Largest Holiday Retail Trade Ever known Re-
ported in Progress-Good Test of Prosperity
in All LineS-Wholesale Stocks Light
and Demand InSiStent

| New York. Dec. 13.-R. G. Dun's review
Of trade tomorrow will say:
What appears to be the largest holi-
day retail trade ever known is In prog
ress, this being a very practical test OF
the buying power of the people as q re-
suit OF agricultural and industrial pros
perity. with labor-everywhere fully EN-
p1oyed. Indeed. the only limit to produc-
ton in many lines is tho limit hxed by
the scarcity Of labor. This Is the only
complaint in the dry goods trade, in
which there is a continued active demand
and wide distribution, especially in cotton
goods. prices Of which are very firm.
Manufacturers and dealers in shoes
report an active trade. with large orders
for spring supplies Leather is quiet and
hides continue weaker, with lower prices.
Ir spite OF some signs OF slaCkened de-
mand in iron and steel. as would be natu-
raj after the long period Of expansion.
production is nevertheless very close 10
capacity. and there is large railway and
South American business. Pig iron shows
an advancing tendency. Coke is exceed
ingIy active. Although the ginning re-
port was a little disappointing, the out
look is for a cotton crop so large that IL
will rank second in the records. Domes-
tic wheat supplies are increasing, and
there are advices OF a favorable crop
outlook in Argentina
Bank Clcarings give additional con-
frmation OF the prevalence of widespread
business activity. the gain this week be
ing AS per cent over last year and III
per cent over 1910. The security markets.
in contrast to this favorable industrial
and mercantile exhibit. have been much
depressed"

ARDEN MARRIES
FIRST LOVE

SAVANNAH, Ca, Sept 2o-Parted
from his young wife and baby daugn-
ter by the fatuities of war, exiled
from Savannah by order of General
sherman after Marching Through
Georgia Peter j. Thompson, wan
derer extraordinary, returned 10 his
native State after AZ years. TO find
the wife Of his youth happily married
TO another man and the mother of
many children his baby daughter
grown to womanhood and nursing
aabies OF her own. and his sister un-
able to recognize him.
After having his roof blown from
over his head by a cyclone In Kansas,
his barns and granaries burned In
Ohio. his little store In another State
destroyed by fire; after tramping
over the whole Of the West and Mid
die West, selling trees and lightning
rods in the Mississippi valley, asso-
ciating with feudists In the Kentucky
mountains, Thompson in his old age
turned his eyes and heart toward his
own old State. So he worked bis
way across the intervening States
and came at last to Pembroke.
Friends Had Gone.
But all the friends Of his youth
had disappeared Many OF the old fam
lilies were broken up. The slabs IN
the little churchyard told him where
MANY of the people he had known
had gone. The graves Of his father
and mother he found there. No trace
of his wife and child could be found.
A chance acquaintance told him
al nFtH 4
living I'm Savannah.
Coming here he found her in the
person Of Mrs. l.. A. Schuman; with
same difficulty he persuaded her OF
his identity. From her he learned
that his wife, after giving him up
for dead. had married again. and,
with their daughter, also now mar
ritd. was living at Blitchton. He
went to BIitchton and spent day
with his daughter and his former
wife, now Mrs Berry Jones. The
law had presumed him dead. and
he had ceased TO have the status ol
a husband.
BY means Of pictures and other me.
mentoes of her babyhood he per
suaded his daughter of his identity
and held her In his arms. Then hC
turned his back upon what was once
his family and returned to take uI
hns residence with his sister.
Meets First Love.
There were two families living in
the house occupied by Mrs. Schu
man. While passing through the hal
one day an aged woman, who wal
living with tie family above saw
him.
"Ain't this Peter thompson" sh'
asked when they met on the stoop

OF course, he did. Then he learn
ed that she had been married twice
but was now a widow. He himsel
was a sort OF widow" And AM
Waller had been his sweetheart he

wife.
They we're married by Rev. Johi
