never went close enough to investi-
gate.
Christmas day they made him put
on the smoking jacket. Life was not
the same after that. They told him he
mustn't smoke that vulgar, shocking
old pipe while wearing the lovely
jacket. Everybody thought he was
cured Of the deadly corncob. He quit
smoking the pipe, and instead brought
home bale of cigars.
He made a handsome figure, wear
ing the braided smoking jacket, and
putting cigar with gilt band around
1t. We left him, smoking happily by
the stove. In one hour we returned.
Uncle Peters was still consuming
cigars. On the floor lay the family
cat. II did not raise it's head at our
footsteps. 1t would never look up
again. The picture frames on the
walls had turned green.
Uncle Peters denied that his Flor de
Mule Ear segars had killed the cat.
He insisted she had rolled over after
taking one squint at the smoking
jacket.
Useful gifts often have a way OF
making themselves useful when you
least expect 1t. For instance, we
buried the cat in Uncle Peters smok
ing Jacket!

DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS
When the Joy Of Your Riddles
Brings Tender Memories Of
Years Ago.

In these strenuous shopping days,
writes Louis James, have you caught
yourself remembering suddenly, in all
sorts OF queer, unexpected places, all
sorts OF queer, half forgotten things?
Have you remembered how these days
before Christmas are the wonderful
days in the life OF the child, more
wonderful days, perhaps, than any
that are TO come?
You know that yourself You can't
help recalling how time went by those
days before the great day. You re-
member how each day seemed some
how more wonderful than the one be-
to that first marvellous moment Of
Christmas morning. when, after
night Of little If any sleep. you scram-
bled up and stood breathless on the
threshold Of the room which had been
forbidden you all those interminable
hours that went before.
The child you take with you through
the wonderlands OF tie modern toy
department wants what you did. The
little girl stops before the baby doll,
wide eyed, still with desire. The boy
stands flooded with happiness before
an ark in which is every imaginable
creation. You remember what a small
thing your own was fourth the size.
But his Joy is no greater than yours.
He pushes toward the rocking horse.
Now II runs by machinery, when once
you ran your own across the floor to
the imminent danger OF total destruc-
tion to persons and furniture that
might stand in the way. But Christ
mas day was your day. The day when
"don'ts" were not and you were king
or queen in your kingdom OF toys.
You pass on to trains and there
again electricity is running them. You
pulled them yourself.
Then you catch the look on the face
OF your boy. He is watching the huge
engine move slowly, smoothly along. II
passes under infinite tunnels and
bridges and over made hills that pre-
sent intricate difficulties OF passage.
Your tunnels were OF chairs and the
table in your kitchen made a splen-
did bridge TO cross.
He turns to you, the child OF this
twentieth century. His smile is be-
attic. He wants it-that train. He
never wanted anything so much be-
fore. He never will again he Is
sure.
And as you move away you smile. a
little sadly, little gladly. You are
proud to be able 10 make him so
wonderfully happy, this child of yours,
but you are sure, too. that he is no
happier than you we're these same pre-
Christmas days, those years before.

the kind that are incurable. Here
they could retire and nurse their
wounds, incurred in the last toy coun-
ter rush.
How fortunate II Is that Santa Claus
was not born late shopper. He is
always on the Job, and gets ready
for the holiday season months ahead,
we are reliably informed by the nurs-
cry books. However, Santa Claus is
in constant danger of losing his repu-
tation. There are hundreds of fond
Fathers who pose as Santa Claus to
their little broods, Papas who sally
forth to collect a bagful of toys Just
when the stores are closing on Christ
mas eve. and the holly garlands are
being taken down, and the manager
of the dress goods department is get
ting ready to announce. Spring and
Summer Styles"
The Late Shoppers we have always
with us. AS eleventh-hour athletes,
they take all the running, Jumping
and line-plunging honors. But often
the Late Shopper has one good mark
to his credit. He puts of giving at
all times. and therefore puts of CIV
ing a piece OF his mind to his wife.

The Christmas doorbell is a great
institution. 1t is the busiest bell OF
the lot. All day long the doorbell has
pressing engagements. When the
doorbell rings on Christmas day, every
body gives heed to it's sweet sounds.
And everybody rushes to the front
door as If the house had caught on
fire, and that was the nearest exit.
The doorbell has everyone in the fam
lily hopping as If they were 80 many
trained ducks.
There are two reasons why the
Christmas doorbell is a welcome Wis
itor when it jars upon the ear. In the
first place, you know that no bills
are going to be presented by the caller
at the door. In the second place the
doorbell may announce the arrival OF
a package.

with a chunky, holly-bound package
under his arm, can get more attention

One OF the most useful useful gifts
for some peoples a smoking

A. TREE OF DOUBLE VALUE
South Carolina Farmers Urged te
Plant Pecan For Its Shade as
Well as It's Fruit.

have before me pecan nuts Of the
1915 crop that were grown in the
Coastal section of South Carolina and
some others that were produced in
the extreme northwestern corner Of
the state at an elevation Of 900 feet.
These nuts, representing one Of our
best varieties, the Stuart, are suffi-
cient evidence that the pecan will
thrive in practically every locality in
South Carolina, from the foothills Of
the Blue Ridge Mountains to the sea-
shore
+ Each Of our farm homes should be
surrounded by nut-bearing trees rath-
er than by other trees Of less beauty
and Of no economic value. We pay
high prices for small, inferior nuts
when about our very doors can be
grown the choicest sorts. Further
more, there are large possibilities in
the production Of pecans for CONNER
cial purposes. Standard varieties sell
dom sell for less than 30 cents a
pound, yet there is profit in growing
pecans at 10 cents pound. A pecan
orchard Of good varieties gives pleas
ure as wen as profit and is to any
farm or suburban home permanent
and valuable asset.
The most important point in the
successful establishment Of a pecan
orchard is to use vigorous trees Of
good varieties. Varieties recommend
ed for South Carolina are Stuart
Schley, Success, Van Deman, Frot-
scher, Pabst, and Money-Maker. Set
the trees carefully in large deep holes
about 60 feet apart each way. Give
them as much care and attention as is
given your most profitable farm crop
and you will not BE- disappointed in
the results. A neglected pecan tree
will yield no more profitable returns
than will any other neglected crop or
fruit tree.
It is well to plant the orchards to
garden or field crops, driving stakes
beside the trees to prevent them from
being bruised in cultivating. Intensive
cultivation and fertiiizing Of the crops
between the rows CT. trees will usually
be sufficient to keep the pecans grow.
ing thriftily.
A few nuts may be expected from
each tree in three ye1rs after trans.
planting and the a!-ount will increase
each year. BY the tenth year the trees
should be yielding profitable crops
