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

It was Christmas eve, and a 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 logged 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 a bold man went
up to the person of haggard coun-
tenance.
"What's the matter?"
The little man turned.
Natter" he echoed. "See that man
with a bundle? He is my next-door
neighbor, and in that bundle he has
cornet which he has bought for his
small son to play upon"
But the crowd waited no longer. 1t
surged ahead and left him to work out
his own salvation, and when peace
had been restored the remains of the
battered man and a battered cornet
lay upon the pavement.

When Uncle Gregory saw all this
his face broke out in a SMILE and we
could see his appetite roll up its
sleeves.
"In this" the doctor began again,
holding up a turkey wing on his fork,
Sin this we have a cold-storage tur-
key which has been treated with OK
alic acid and chloride of potassium
to keep it in a shivering state'
pardon me, DOCTOR" exclaimed
Peaches Indignantly, but it isn't a
cold-storage turkey, because it was
sent me as a present by some friends
on Long Island only this morning"
POSSIBLY" went on Caterpillar
Charlie, possibly my hurried diagnosis
was at fault, but we can never be sure
about these things, because here, on
the elbow of the wing, 1 find traces of
calisthenic acid over the membranes"
mo, thank you" said Uncle Greg
ory, Il never eat turkey, it gives me
the heartburn" And the poor old
guy struck such a note of hunger that
/ wanted to throw that doctor out of
the window.
By this time several others at the
table were becoming more of less i'm
pressed, and the dinner party was be
ginning to assume the cheerful as
pect of a meeting of martyrs an hour
before the arena opened.
please pass me some mashed po-
tatoes," whispered Uncle Gregory
after the pangs of hunger had beaten
him to the ropes.
Here We find" croaked the doe
tor raising a forkful of mashed po-
tatoes. here we find one of the most
evil effects Of food adulteration. This
potato was grown in the fall of the
year 1889, but it has been washed in
alum water to give it the appearance
of being modern, while its eyes have
been treated with belladonna to make
them bright and snappy."
Uncle Gregory groaned pathetically,
and the rest of us, out Of politeness,
tried to look interested. but only sue
ceeded in looking seasick.
When the ice cream and cake were
brought on Doctor Smotherjoy drove
his spoon down deep into the choco-
late and vanilla mixed and said,
Here is pltiful illustration of what
dishonest tradesmen will do for
money. Here we find that some of
this ice cream was pale originally,
but ii was treated with aniline dye to
give it this chocolate effect, and then
baked in the sun to deceive the eye.
On the other hand, we find this va
nilla was originally dark and forbid
ding, but it has been treated with per
oxide of hydrogen to make it more of
blonde"
Pardon me, doctor snapped
Peaches, her teeth chattering with ner-
vousness, "but this ice cream was
made in our kitchen by our own cook,

with first-class cream, and we never
have any but homemade ice cream, so
there!"
"Ah," said the doctor, "then in that
case 1t must be traces of thanatopsIs
which I see, and the evidence Is con
elusive that n great deal of artificial
frappe has been used, nevertheless"
mo, thank you," said Uncle Greg
ory, II never eat ice cream because
it goes to my head and makes me cold

Gregory; II never drink coffee; 1t

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 II 1 should want some toy
upon shelf,
They used to make me get q chair and
hunt for 1t myself
Las night 1 wanted building blocks and
went to get 'em, too,
An three of 'em got up an said: "I'n
get 'em down for you"
somehow went astray,
They let me open bureau drawers 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 I started in to find
my 'lectric
They all exclaimed: "We'll hunt for 1t;
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 grumble an to
say I was a pest,
I'm not a bother any more-but why, I
haven't guessed.
/ only know that when want some toy
that's on shelf.
They're mighty quick to see that I don't
hunt for 1t myself.

Christmas
Greetings
BY William Marion Reedy

n EERRY CHRISTMAS
IVk to you all. Let your
self surrender to the
season. Don't be afraid or
ashamed to be a bit soft
toward everybody. Obey
that impulse to kindness.
Throw off that inhibition on
spontaneous friendliness.
Note how it gets you more
than you give. Reflect how
splendid it would be to
carry the feeling on beyond
Christmas always. Don't
let the horror and misery
of the great war oppress
you. In the conflict men
are giving all they have and
are for ideals. They are
making and shaping a new
world and a better one,
building it with the supreme
sacrifice of self. This world
is what we make it. The
love habit will beautify and
sweeten it. Every little bit
helps to make a mighty FIRE
Of love eventually to burn
all hate away. Merry
Christmas.
