A nelghbOr woman, Mrs. Green, took
care Of her while John was away in
town, and when she came in the next
morning after the box arrived Ann
had her get out all the things.
The cards were all pinned on them.
Somehow the handwriting looked
strangely familiar to Mrs. Green. John
Spencer had written a contract for her
when she had sold some land. She
turned one of the cards over On the
other side, in big black type, was "John
Spencer, Attorney at Law" 1t didn't
take the condolences that Mrs. Spencer
was now pouring out to make Mrs.
Green understand it all.
Then Mrs. Green went home and had
a good cry and sent special delivery
letter to Virginia, such letter as had
probably never found It's way into
that state before. She tried to pic
ture John Spencer as his friends and
neighbors saw him, as they had learn
ed to know him-his strength and cour-
age and tenderness by day as he
cared for his helpless, stricken wife.
She was tactful enough not to mention
any knowledge Of family estrange-
ment. He had just done this thought
full, delicate thing because his wife had
sighed for something from home, and
be tried to satisfy her every wish and
whim. When they heard about it they
would be only too glad to make that
wish come true, and, of course, they
must never let Mr.. Spencer know that
she had written. He would never for
give her.
And it was two weeks yet till Christ
mas, and letter would go to Virginia
in five days and if they acted real
quickly, which Virginians sometimes
did, maybe
John Spencer had always been
very materialistic minded man. That
was one thing the Virginia Pres
tons had against him. But when a
sure enough box did come from Vir-
ginia by special express on Christmas
day, and when that box did contain a
pink silk evening dress, quite the love
lest thing he had ever seen. and real
embroidered forgetmenot collar and a
rosebud cap such as he had tried to de-
scribe to Ann, he just carted off all
the first lot Of things to a secondhand
shop and began reading works on telep-
athy and mental suggestion and be-
lieves to this day that AIMS desire,
plus his projected thought. brought
that box.
In a few weeks AIMS sight was fully
restored, and she was feasting her
eyes on the beauties of her gifts. Let
ters began to go back and forth. and
now Christmas boxes go both ways
each year across the continent. The
one going east has dozens and dozens
of luscious western oranges, grown
on Spencer's own hundred acre ranch
And now the proud Prestons of Vir-
ginia are, never prouder than when
speaking Of ''Our cousins. Judge and

self a genuine gain for all the inter-
ests Of our common humanity. More
and more are the religious denomina-
tions Of all creeds making a part of
Christmas a time of religious worship.
This also is a change in a wholesome
direction.
In celebrating the birth festival of
our Lord we hold up before the world
the central thought in it's history.
Christ's incarnation is the event around
which all other events revolve in-small
er or larger circles.
This festival is the most joyous cele-
bration of Christendom. It makes the
joy Of childhood more joyous, and it
]ightens the burdens Of age and sor-
row with its tender memories and it's
triumphant Dronhacios
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1915-12-17

It is prophetic OF the golden age
when Christ shall come again, when
evil shall be overthrown and when the
song of a redeemed Luna nifty shall
sweep over the universe as the song
of celestial choirs echoed over the
plains of Bethlehem. .... =:
BY the gifts which characterize this
season we commemorate Gods great
gift-the unspeakable gift of his Son
to a world lost in sin and wandering
In. darkness, No one can rightly esti-
mate the blessings which flow every
year to all classes and conditions of
men from the. tender memories and
gentle charities called forth by the re-
membrance Of the holy child Jesus.

Didn't Like the "New' Christmas.

Didn't Like the "New" Christmas.
The story is told Of Thackeray that
he was invited to a party at country
house where the host determined to
make the experiment Of keeping Christ
mas in new STYLE" Toward the con-
clusion Of the feast, in which nothing
common to Christmas dinner figured,
1t was found that Thackeray had dis
appeared. He was discovered in a cor
ner Of the mansion regaling himself on
beef and plum pudding, which he had
bribed one of the servants to bring
him from the kitchen table.
Christmas Bells From Hill to Hill.
The time draws near the birth Of Christ:
The moon is hid; the night is still;
The Christmas bells from hill to hill
Answer each other In the mist.
