now that you see things mentally. You
Just imagined that Santa and his rein
deer were over the church. Why, 1t
wants a whole week before Christ
mas, sonny, and Santa never comes
till Christmas eve. Come along and
don't imagine things like that any
more" And the aged bell ringer
swung his lantern and led the way
along the snow covered path to his
home, his little grandson, Sammy, fol-
lowing. But in Sammy's heart was a
feeling that be had not imagined see
ing Santa. He felt the thing had been
real. HE was just peeping round to
see where the good children live and
getting acquainted with the chimneys,"
said Sammy to himself. But grandpa
is too old to understand. He hasn't
cared about Santa for many, many
years. But l do. oh. l do! And how
should love to slip away up into the
church tonight and visit Santa's realm!
But that would be impossible. 1t Is
not intended for boys to get or the
earth, so Santa comes to them"
Just then Sammy's grandmother
opened the kitchen door for them. and
az Sammy entered the good old lady
stopped and kissed him, saying:
81 just had letter from your cous-
ins, Mabel and Ted, saying they were
coming to spend Christmas with us
and that they had written Santa Claus
Of the change of their address 20 that
he could fetch their gifts here-along
with yours. Bless the dearsT
And Sammy knew that Santa would
do as his cousins asked him 10, al
though grandpa laughed at the idea
and said: "That is nonsense. good wife.
Children should not believe such silly
things" But Sammy knew a thing or
two that grandpa did not know.

You know, my papa he went and died
And left just my mamma and me
And Spot-that's his name-and we cried
and cried.
For we missed him n lot. We three
And mamma she works. and we got along.
And Spot he stayed home with me
And never went out, for I'm not very
strong,
And have to have some one you see.
The dog man that took him away he said
He'd keep him ten days In the pound,
And after that time poor Spot'll be dead
And three days from now Spot'll be
drowned
80 please. Mr.. Santa, II you can spare
A dollar TO set Spot free,
Please take II and give to the man up
there
And send home my puppy to me-
And please, Mr.. Santa, II you haven't got
No dollar TO spend that way.

Spot
And tell him Wen meet some day.
And X you don't mind that he's not very
clean,
And II there's nobody to see.
wish you'd just kinda-he'll know what
you mean
Just give him a pat for me.

The Christmas Spirit.

Christmas Is a good institution, be II
examined from any angle. The Christ
mas spirit is one to foster and encour-
age. 1t means unselfishness, charity,
peace, liberality, good cheer, all desir-
able traits In themselves and all tend
ing to make the world better place
While the Christmas holiday is a
Christian institution in name, no one
religion holds a monopoly Of the Christ
mas spirit. 1t is common to all reli-
gions. 1t means a striving to make
others happier. an effort to better con-
ditions for mankind 1t means sharing
your good fortune. no matter how
small the portions may be. 1t Is the
essence of the Golden Rule.
ers by the radiation OF the Christmas
spirit. the greatest good is done to one
self. No man can bestow q gift, either
material or spiritual. on another with
out benefiting himself He must ele-
vate himself by the exercise of the
emotions that Christmas calls forth.
and this elevation must be more or less
permanent. No man can be much diff
ferent one day I'm the year from what
he is the other 1854 days
So blessed be the spirit Of Christ

a trial run today" said he.
So saying, Santa hurried to his sta
bles. There the reindeer were show
ing their impotence to be out In the
open, and Santa gave orders to his
stable elves to hitch up the steeds to
the sleigh, as he meant to give the good
animals q little exercise.
"They need race now and then"
he said. otherwise they'd get stiff
kneed and would feel clumsy when
trying to gallop over shifting clouds
and ragged treetops and uneven roofs"
After the ride of several hours Santa
cried out to his reindeer:
Now TO earth, my good fellows. And
don't lag. We must be there just as
the dark is falling over the land. If
we wait till the moon comes out well
be seen, and that would never do"
As the darkness settled over the land
old Santa dropped from fieecy cloud
to the top of a tall church steeple.
There he got out of his sleigh, told his
reindeer not to move from that steeple
and made his descent TO the roof Of q
convenient house. And past the win
dows Of hundreds of homes he darted
peeping into them and counting the
new faces he saw for the first time
Lots of new little ones" he said
to himself. smiling. God bless them
all Well, they keep me busy through
out the year. And they are increasing
so rapidly that I'll have to take sew
eral hundred assistants next year"
Then Santa returned TO the high
church steeple. and as he was getting
into his sleigh the aged bell ringer. &c.
companied by his grandson Of ten
came out Of the church with a lantern
In his hand. The little grandson look
ed up and cried out to his grandfather
"Oh, lookee. grandpa, there I'm the

LIQUOR SELLING CHARGE FALLS.

The charge of selling intoxicating
liquors without a locense against
William Augustus, colored, was dis
missed in City Court today, because of
lack of evidence. Daisy Clark, colored
when called as a witness, said she
bought whiskey from William two
years ago. She denied buying liquor
from him on Sunday August 3, al
though she claimed she bought some
for Leah Vincent. This was a sur
prise to the authorities, as Daisy is
alleged to have told the officers that
William sold her the liquor.
A charge of soliciting against An
ME Washington, colored, was con-
tinued until tomorrow The prose-
cutting witness was not in court.
James Camm. charged with assault
ad battery on Hanna Lewis, colored,
was dismissed, the evidence showing
that Hanna had assaulted Camm,
and when he went after a warrant
she started for one, too. Hanna got
hers first.
