VENGEANCE ALL HE SOUGHT
When Crowd Learned Nature of Christ mas Gift 1t Left Him to Commit
 His Crime.

It was Christmas eve, and stout man with a large package beneath his arm hurried through the crowded thoroughfare, closely pursued by a small man of haggard aspect, with a thick stick in his hand.
 On and on, relentlessly, the forlorn man dogged the other. and those who passed him heard an occasional word drop from his lips, indicative of despair or awful terror.
 Finally, some of the crowd turned and followed the pair, determined not to miss the fun. The crowd grew larger, and finally bold man went up to the person of haggard coun- tenance.
 "What's the matter?"
 The little man turned.
 "MatterY he echoed. "See that man with a bundle? He is my next-door neighbor, and in that bundle he has a cornet which he has bought for his small son to play upon."
 But the crowd waited no longer It surged ahead and left him to work out his own salvation, and when peace had been restored the remains of the battered man and battered cornet lay upon the pavement.

JES' FORE CHRISTMAS

They're acting mighty funny up at our
 house nowadays. They're different than they used to be an
 changed in many ways; Not long ago if I should want some toy
 upon a shelf. They used To make me get chair and
 hunt for 1t myself Las night I wanted building blocks and
 went to get 'em. too, An three of vem got up an said: .I'll
 get 'em down for you" used to have to hunt for things that
 somehow went astray. They let me open bureau drswers with
 out a word to say; Ma would sew and sis would play. an
 pa would read his book. An never think of gettin' from their
 chairs to help me look. But las night when 1 started in to find
 my 'lectric car They all exclamed .Well hunt for it; you stay right where you are!" I've never known 'em be so kind in all
 my life before; They'll jump to wait on me an find the
 things I'm huntin' for; Although they used to grunble an to
 say I was a pest, I'm not a bother any more-but why,
 haven't guessed I only know that when want some toy that's on a shelf, They're mighty quick to see that don't
 hunt for 1t myself. Edgar A. Guest. in Chicago Daily News
