YES" replied the student, this
/ light weight folding table (No. 80 is
, mighty nice for holding a carrom
board, or for a game of any kind.
Your wife would also enjoy it for a
. sewing table The legs fold up so it
can be set against the wall when not
in use 1t is one of the handiest
things we make, and it only costs So.
This tea table is larger, and made
with wooden top instead of the
green cloth that covers the light
weight table, and for serving teas in
the afternoon, or supper on the porch,
there is nothing nicer. These legs
also fold up, and the table can be put
away when not wanted, so that it is
much handler than large table. This
is our style 30, and is made in maple,
imitation mahogany, or golden oak,
for only S4.'
"You mentioned something about a
carrom board. | remember playing
! that game when | was some younger,
and | used to be able to shoot those
wooden rings so as to clean up most
of the young fellows | knew. | don't
know why my boys have never had
one. What's the price,"
I'VE have three different styles, No.
/, Star E., at $2.45; No. l, Crown c.
Combination, at $3.45 and No. 2, Star
d., at 1898.
"Well, you can send me that 1898
one. I'm going to play I'm a boy
just once more, and I'm going to play
with my boys. Is that all you've
got 2"
"Wel perhaps you would like this
foll,nr nd m hold
that carrom board, and it only costs
rs cents"
"Of course l do" said the "Sand
Farmer" put that in too. Now that
ought to fix up this house so we can
have some fun this winter, and the
boys won't have to go to town after
it either"
Have you any girls?" said the
student.
NO" said the farmer, eve haven't
any girls. Why do you ask"
I'VE make dolls furniture for little
girls. See, here is a nice little bed,
chair, table and rocking chair. They
are made in white, golden oak, or
antique oak. They are strong and
durable, and the little girls who can't
play with the big boys, often like to
play with their dollies while the bug
folks are having a good time
Say, young man, While / maven I
any little girl know a man who has,
and | don't believe that his little girl
will have very much for Christmas
this year either. You say that one
costs a dollar"
Eyes, sir. Unless you want the
vegetable silk mattress and pair of
pillows, which cost % cents extra
"Of course we want the pillows and
Mattress" said the Sand Farmer
Whats a bed good for without
mattress and pillows? Send them
along"
your speaking of the man who
might not have much of Christmas
/ this year makes me think Of our
! Christmas camp-fires. These are made
/ of little pine logs in imitation OF
/ big woods campfire. They are filled
with pine roots and pine needles, so
they give out the very pleasant fra
GRANGE of the pine woods when they
/ burn. They are sent out by mail, with
/ your card, to anyone in the United
! States These verses are printed on
a little card which is inside of the
box:
i hope as no unwelcOme guest,
At your warm fireside, when the
lamps are lighted,
To have my place reserved among the
rest,
Nor stand as one unsought and un-
invited
Sit with me by the homestead hearth,
And stretch the hands of memory
To warm them at the wood fires
blaze!
"The idea is that if you have some
! friends whom you wish to remember
! in some way but do not wish to send
an expensive present, you send them
one of these little camp fires, and ask
! them to burn it on their hearth Christ
mas Eve while you are doing the
same, that you may be united in
spirit, and think of the old-time
friendship, and wish them the Joy and
peace which should come into every
! loyal heart on the morrow, with the
coming of the King of Peace and
Love. They only cost so cents, post
paid"
"That's a mighty good idea," said
!
Christmas presents cost more and
more, and they are really getting to
be a burden. | hate to send some
cheap little trinket, but | do not want
to give up the old custom, and l want
to send just about six Of those little
Christmas camp-fres to some of my
old friends.
"By the way, have you anything
else for Christmas presents. | want
something for Mother, and l don't
know what to get ?"
Perhaps you would like one of our
wood-boxes," said the student, 1--WE
make a mighty nice wood box of
birch-mahogany or golden oak, filled
with pine roots, for so cents. They
are an ornament in any room, and IT
you have not one l believe your wife
would like that very much"
$50 do /, so do l." said the "Sand
Farmer" Don't let Mother know
anything about it, but want you to
send me that wood-box and make it
