II hope l det my woolly lamb Eat
squeaks," said little Paddy, and he
was so excited that he all but slid off
his mammals lap.
As for Sidney, he didn't say any
thing. He seemed to be thinking.
Don't you hope you'll get your
skates. Sidney?" asked Ellen.
Eyes. Sidney" added his mother,
aren't you hoping Santa won't for

"Of course" replied Sidney. ST was
just thinking"
What were you thinking about?"
asked his mother
I'D like to get my skates all right,
but I was thinking that L would be
awfully glad If Santa doesn't forget
to bring me whole lot of candy"
why, Sidney" asked his mother,
you wouldn't rather have candy than
skates, would you?"
WELL not exactly. Still, I'd rather
Santa wouldn't fail to bring a lot of
gumdrops and chocolates and taffy."
1t was evident Sidney had a we'll
developed sweet tooth.
I'd like to get chocolates, too," said
Ellen, "but I would rather have my
doll than all the chocolates in the
world"
II like candy awfully WE'LL" added
Walter. but I want my Noah's ark
and my dog that can run even IL 1
don't get a single piece of candy"
Hearing nothing from Paddy, his
mother asked:
which would you rather have,
Paddy,-candy or your woolly lamb ?"
Paddy studied moment and replied
unhesitatingly:
! My woolly lamb
The others laughed at this and Sid
ney felt a bit ashamed to think that
he, the oldest of the children, should
like candy best. Wishing to justify
his choice, he said, very dignif1ed:
II don't care much for toys, you
know They're for children"
so is candy" said Ellen, but Sid
ney refused to continue the argu-
ment.
In five minutes they were all in bed,
dreaming Sidney's dream was the
queerest, so we shall tell it.
He dreamed that he was sitting be-
fore the fire when Santa scooted down
the chimney with his pack on his
back.
"Oh I didn't expect to find you
sitting up, Sidney" said Santa as he

just then he saw strange thing.
Ellen's doll. Walters toy dog and the
animals from his Noah's ark and Pad
dy's woolly lamb walked over on the
mantel to the pile of candy and began
to eat it, and as they ate. they grew.
Sidney could actually see them get
larger. He was so surprised he ceased
eating.
Soon the doll and the animals were
so big that they were in danger OF
breaking the mantel, so they climbed
down to the floor. There they began
to eat from the heap of candy under
the stocking. They were soon almost
life-size and still getting bigger. Sid
ney didn't mind the dog and. the lamb
and the doll, but he began to fear
the room wouldn't hold the animals
from the ark. Besides. there were
elephants and giraffes and naturally
they took up lots of room.
He and the doll were getting
squeezed so by the growing animals
that he could hardly breathe. Alarm
ed and fearing he would be smoth-
cred, Sidney cried:
Mamma, mammal"
What Is 1t, dear?"
He was awake. He crawled from
the tangled bed clothes and gazed at
the fireplace.
Where are the animals?" ne asked.
What animals, SOM"
"I had an awful dream, mamma"
Sidney walked to the fireplace and
looked at his stocking. He found
pair of skates and some candy In the
toe. Then he did an unexpected thing.
He removed his skates and divided his
candy in four equal parts. He kept
one part for himself and emptied the
other parts into each of the three
other stockings.
Candy may be nice" he said, "but
these skates look good to me-"

by. Your leaves will remain unharm-
ed, no matter how hard I blow. They
will protect you and the bird. You
alone are worthy of my pity. Look
out-here 1 come, you selfish trees"
And, with that, he let loose upon the
forest his Icy breath and his terrible
roar.
And-would you believe it--from
that day to this, as soon as Autumn
comes every tree in the forest loses its
leaves except the Spruce and a few
others of it's relatives! 1t is ever
green.
The bird? Oh, yes, he lay snug and
warm in the cozy nest all through the
Winter and, until his broken wing
healed, the kindly Spruce offered him
its own leaves as food. Then came
Spring and his bird companions from
the Southland.

such Christmas "roses'' was planned,
and Agnes set about with the greatest
enthusiasm to prepare them for Civ
ing. 1t took some time and trouble
to get them ready, but Agnes was SO
excited with the novelty of the plan
that she didn't mind in the least the
inconvenience and the sacrifices she
made in gathering together the
"roses."
The milkman got his coffee, all
right, and the paper boy got his
orange; and the way their faces lit
up with gratitude produced a strange
feeling within Agnes that made her
grow happier with each rose" she
gave away.
Her mamma had been over to the
neighbor's. Upon her return, Agnes
had a cup of tea and piece of but
tered toast for her.
The butcher boy came soon after
and received a little sack of gum
drops and taffy, and the grocer boy
received another sack of the mixed
sweets.
When the postman came-for there
was a morning delivery Of mail-he
received a cup OF coffee. He said it
made him warm clear to his toes and
that he could deliver mail all day long
II necessary. The laundryman came
with her papa's shirts and collars, so
Agnes gave him some coffee, too. Af-
ter dinner a tramp knocked at the
door and again it gave Agnes a feel
ing of pleasure to give him nice
lunch. 1t seemed to Agnes as If there
was something special making oppor-
tunities for her to give away her
"roses;" or perhaps it was because
she hadn't noticed the opportunities
before.
At last tfe day came to go back to
school. The morning passed slowly,
for the children were anxious to know
who won the prize offered by Miss
Webb. An hour or SO before closing
time Miss Webb had each pupil tell
about the good times they had on
Christmas day.
Winnie Martin told about the pres
ents and the fun she had while her
uncle was visiting her, Webster Bowles
told about going skating, James Carl
ton about the new bicycle he received

- pills:
"As you all know, we are about to
have a happy vacation--a time of joy
and good cheer. Now / want you all
to have the very happiest time 1t is
possible to have, and 1t would give me
much pleasure to know just how much
pleasure each Of you gets out of
Christmas. Suppose you all keep a
record of the way you spend Christ
mas day, and when school takes up
again tell me about 1t. To the one
whom I think had the best time I
will give a little present"
"Oh, what will 1t be?" cried sew
era1 of the children, exoitedly.
IT shall not tell you now, but it
will be something the winner will like.
whether boy or girl"
When school had dismissed and the
pupils had wished Miss Webb a Merry
Christmas and had received similar
wishes in return. there was much dis
cussion among them as to the nature
of the prize, as to who would win
and as to various plans for spending
the glorious day. Said James Carl
toni
sure am going to win that prize,
for I always have a wagon load of
fun on Christmas"
'sYou can't win 1t, Jim," said Web
ster Bowles, cause I'm going to-"
you're both wrong" spoke up Win
ME Martin. ''I'm sure I'll win, for my
uncle is coming to visit us and we're
going to have turkey for dinner and
I'm going to get lots of presents"
The discussion was still in progress
while Agnes Dorman gathered up her
books and walked home, thinking of
the prize and who would get the most
pleasure. She thought she herself
would have quite bit of fun, though
she wasn't expecting many toys, no
visitors were coming and there would
be no turkey dinner.
Agnes woke up early Christmas
morning. She had emptied her stock
ing, examined her presents and read
the first chapter in her new story
book when she happened to think of
the prize to be given by Miss Webb.
She reflected that she was certainly
having pleasure but that the others
probably were having pleasure, too
maybe more-and that she really
couldn't hope to win the prize. Pres
emily she had an idea She went to
Grandma with it.

Agnes told her of Miss webb's Of

"I see." said Grandma. "well, just
be happy in mind and the rest will
take care of itself"
But Agnes was not satisfied with
this answer. She said:

way to be happy is to make others

Surely" replied Grandma.
'But 1 don't know how to make

Grandma thought a moment.

Suppose we put a pot of coffee on

Agnes.

BROKE INTO CARS, CHARGED.
Two Men Arrested i'm Sumter for Al
leged Offence at Lanes.

Sumter, September Al. F. Paris,
alias ]. F. Gray, and S. V. Jaudon,
two young men claiming to be origi-
nally from near St Stephens, were ar
rested here early this morning by po-
lice officers and the deputy sheriff on
the charge of breaking into cars at
Lanes last night and holding up the
depot agent at that place, when he
endeavored to arrest them. Both of
them claim to be we'll known in that
locality, where Paris was formerly
employed as assistant depot agent.
The two men boarded freight train
there about o'clock in the morning
and were arrested here two hours
later.
1t is claimed by Special Officer J.
n. Walker, of the Atlantic Coast Line,
according to the account given him
by Agent W. P. Pate, of Lanes, that
Pate heard that two men were break
ing into box car and went to arrest
them or scare them off, One of the
men ran when he hailed them, escap-
ing behind the cars in the dark. The
other man was taken in hand by the
agent, who was in turn covered by
pistol in the hands of the other man
a few minuter later. The captured
man was released and the two men
started up the tracks. Later they
returned and were again arrested by
the agent while they were sleeping
in the waiting room. They were
turned over to the train crew until
the agent could summon the town
constable and place them in the
guard house, but managed to escape
from them. Later they boarded
through freight and got off here,
where the officers had previously
been notified of their coming. They
went into a restaurant and were ar

arrival.
In Jail to-day the two men made
light of their trouble They both de-
clared they, had not broken into any
car, but had gone to sleep in an emp
ty box car, which was on a side track
at Lanes. They had not considered
the matter after they left Lanes, they
said, and had not made any effort to
escape, if anyone wanted to arrest
them. When arrested Jaudon had a
revolver on him and Paris had a
holster from which the revolver was
gone. 1t is learned that Paris was
at one time agent at Lynchburg.

VERY HEAVY RAINFALL.
Charleston Experiences One of Hard
est in Long Time.

Charleston, Sept. 5.-Charleston
experienced today in few hours a
rainfall of three and a half inches,
one of the heaviest rains in some
time. The rainfall was attended by
some lightning and thunder. Several
of the flashes were quite sharp and
the lightning gave evidence of
striking. The fire alarm bell was put
out of order for time, with frequent
tolling. The disturbance is consider
ed local, Forecaster Scott said, but it
was caused by the general unsettling
of the elements by a low pressure
area in the gulf. The Charleston Of

desirable to issue flood warnings for
