CHRISTMAS CONSPIRACY
dened by Remembranees From the Children.

Grandmother Jessup!"
 Stella's tone was distinctly ac- cusing; it was evident that grand mother had something to answer for. Grandmother, from her invalid chair, looked across at the girl who stood at her bureau drawer. She had en- dured years of pain and weakness; but they had not succeeded in quench- ing the spirit in the frail figure; her voice was as saucy as a girls.
 Not guilty-what is it?"
 Its your handkerchiefs. How many dozen have you?"
 Seven or eight You see, I have seven of the dearest grandchildren in the world It's queer, isn't it, that your nose should be so especially honored when you grow old?"
 But Stellas. gray eyes forgot to laugh back at grandmother's. Some thing had disconnected her. She put the handkerchiefs back, made some trivial excuse, and ran up to her own room, where her sister and cousins were holding Christmas conclave.
 q wonder" she burst out, "that grandmother can endure Christmas at all!"
 What under the sun do you mean?" Corinne and Isabella ex- claimed togethers sa
 "Corinne, what did you give grand mother for Christmas last year?"
 "A box of handkerchiefs. Why?"
 And you, Isabella?"
 "An embroidered handkerchief with little weeny initials"
 "Mollie?"
 "Two handkerchiefs,' Mollie con- 'fessed. There didn't seem to be anything else-except slumber slip pers, and Aunt Maria always knits those."
 And Laurie and I gave her hand kerchiefs. We always give her hand kerchiefs-because she's old, and they're the easiest thing to think of! Girls-she isn't old-she's as young as any of us down in her heart, and she loves pretty things just as, much as ever. This year let's give her the biggest surprise of her life-a Christ mas that will make her really happy"
 But how-what-" Corinne stam- mered.
 What do we like bestkeach of us?"
 'Jewels!" "Books!" Hand embroid- ery!" "Candy!'' "silk stockings!" The answers came in laughing shower.
 Well, then, why not? Grandma'd love bit of jewelry from us-chosen just for her. And books-not Thoughts of Cheer as if she were melancholy, but love stories that end we'll. And why not embroider her something? And if not silk stockings. then pair of slippers with tiny vel vet bows. As for candy, she'd love to have it to paes round, even if she couldn't eat much herself"
 ':Snd let Bob and Archie send her their absurd jokes as they do to the rest of us? It doesn't seem-respect- full"
 But grandma doesn't want to be seemed-respectfui-to," Stella declaSed. Shed just love to be counted in with the rest of us, little vanities and jokes and all O girls, try it once and see!"
 And that was the way the Christ mas conspiracy started. Grand mothers eyes on Christmas morning were proof of it's success.-Youths' Companion.

Some generous person" said little Socrates Bulginbrow, of Boston. "has been kind enough to send me copy of Mother Goose's lyrics for Christ. mas. Do you know, the theory that a representative of the bovine genus at one time leaped over the chief luminary of the night leads to some interesting calulations as to the mus cular development of the COWS of that time. I have ascertained that they must have been endowed with strength proportionate to that of the flea of the present day"
