The United States Is almost poverty

supersti;ions Is concerned, our early
settlers having failed to Import mnny

A Tiny Christmas Tree

a TINY FIR tree OF symmetrical shape
IA and only two and hnlf feet high
WINS chosen for my little girls
dolls Christmas tree, says n writer in
the Woman's Home Companion. This
was easily planted In fowcrpot and
established upon large table In the
living room. Tiny candles were fhsten-
cd upon the branches, ten cent bunch
OF tinsel was sufficient for draplng and
further outlay for the small colored
glass ornaments added to the gorgeous
ness
The main Idea is TO keep everything
on miniature scale while duplicating
for the beloved doll children the gifts
that usually fnll TO the small mother.
So 1t was TINT tiny dolls were dressed;
tiny fancy boxes were filed with tiny
candles. others contained wee handkcr-
chiefs embroidered with smallest OF
initials; here hung hand mirror. there
n nursing bottle. tiny fans, lovely set
OF cups for the tea table, small bird
In gilt cage, a new pet kitty, and 30
on. Ten cent stores yielded most OF
the treasures
On the morning OF Christmas my
eight-yenr-old was shown her old dol.
lies, each radlantly dressed. and was
told that their tree was ready below
stairs. The Joy and delight Mt the
sight were charming to behold. and the
blissful apportionment OF gifts began.
As each arriving playmate rolled IN her
new dolly ito show what I've got"
envy and pride reflected upon he faces
OF the visitor and visited. only to be
disrciled by there is something on the
tree for your dolly"

This Is what enc bank did to free
itself of what somebody In power

~ floats where two Christmas
days are celebrated. This np-
plies especially TO the Alaskan pen
insuIa and adjoining Islands, where
many of the natives belong To the Rus
sim church with her Julian calendar,
II is only since the coming Of the
American public school ami mission
that the american Christmas has
been introduced in those parts. Ac-
cor1ing TO the Julian calendar Christ
mas, Dec. -. falls on the day that is
Jan. Z In the calendar elsewhere.
According to the Russian church In
Alnska, Christmas begins ut . o'clock
In the morning. when the church bells
announce the birth OF Christ, and
when tile natives come out OF their
huts they find bright and beautiful
star OF bethlehem over the church
reckoning them. The church Is
small wooden building decorated with
pictures OF saints, lighted hy candles.
without seats or heat The two sexes
arc ranged on tho opposite sides of the
room. either standing or knccllng. On
this particular morning service is held
from . until q and IS made up OF sing
Ing md reading. Although 10 white
people 1t would seem very great
hardship to stand on the feet for four
hours on cold winter morning, yet
the natives would consider 1t the worst
kind OF punishment should they be
forced TO stay away.
After the service the feAstiny md
rejoicing begin. In the evening there
takes place n very picturesque repre-
sentation OF the wise men following
the s,nr of Bethlehem to where tho
Christ Child IL. As soon as It IS night
tho young people separate into groups.
One pf the group goes before. carry
Ing n large, beautifully trimmed stnr,
In which candle burns. On entering
house the party sings hymns and
carols, as Il was done centuries ago.
These songs are either In the old
Russian or In the AleutieH language
Many OF the voices have the softness
and sweetness SO peculiar to Indian
races. and this, combined with the
charming oil church music. produces
a very agreeable effect. When they haye
sung and have been entertained the
wise men proceed to the next house.
This Singing is kept up three nights.
During tho remaining nights of the
Christmas week another Biblical scene
is presented IIerod's men searching
for Jesus 20 Kill him. Some one knocks
at tho door, and when It Is opened a
small masked party enters very softly
and mutely and occupies itself IA

The new year Is welcomed In with
grand masquerade ball, generally
given by the chief of the village. The

A TURKEYS THANKSGIVING.

Gobble Gobble was a big fat turkey.
He lived on a farm where there were
lots of chickens AMI ducks and geese.
They had good time. for Farmer
Binks, who owned the farm. gave them
lots to eat and took good care of them.
Gobble GObble was fond of eating, and
he was one of the latest turkeys Of the
flock.
Hell be fire roasted" said Farmer
Binks to his wife. Il think We'll keep
him for Thanksgiving"
The day before Thanksgiving there
was a good deal going on in the house.
Every one seemed busy and gay.
When the farmer sent his son jim
my out to feed the poultry Gobble
Gobble asked him what was going on.
But as Gobble Gobble used turkey talk
In speaking to Jimmy of course the lit
tie boy didn't understand.
= When Jimmy went whistling into
the house he forgot to close the gate
after him. and Gobble GObble darted
out
"If Thanksgiving means having a
good time I'm going off to have good
time myself" Gobhle Gobble said, as
he trotted off i'm the direction of the
woods. Guess I'll go off and be
wild turkey as Grandfather Turkey
Trotter said our folks all were in the
long ago"
So he went through the woods look
ing for wild turkeys to live with. hut
there were none there or. of course.
folks would have gone out to the
woods and got one whenever they
wanted a turkey dinner.
Poor GObble Gobble couldn't find
much to eat for supper. He slept in a
tree, just as Grandfather Turkey Trot-
ter said their folks had done In the long
ago. but it wasn't so comfortable as he
had expected.
Gobble Gobble had crick in his neck
when he got up, and breakfast was
most as scarce as supper had been.
He wandered about In the woods for
a day or two before Farmer Binks' son
found him. Thanksgiving was over.
"He would have been so much ten
derer than old Turkey Trotter," sighed
Jimmy's mother. "We'n have to keep
Gobble Gobble for Christmas"
