self, and Happy Jack had saved her
some trouble, for, though he didn't
know it, he had planted it for her.
1t all came about just as Old Mother
Nature had thought it would. Happy
Jack never once thought of that par
ticular little brown seed, for he had
hidden plenty to eat all the long win
ter in the Green Forest. So the little
brown seed lay just where he had hid
den it, until gentle Sister South Wind
came in the spring and with her soft
fingers opened all the little brown
blankets of the leaf buds on the trees
which Jack Frost with his hard fingers
had been unable to open. Then Old
Mother Nature remembered the little
brown seed, and she wakened a little
fairy who was sleeping in the heart of
it, and the name of the little fairy was
the Fairy of Life.
So out from the warm earth sprang
tender green shoot, which really was
a teeny, weeny Pine-tree.
Jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun, look
ing down from the blue, blue sky, saw
it and smiled, and his smile made the
teeny, weeny Pine-tree very happy, for
it warmed the ground and comforted
the little roots growing there.

past on her way to blow the white

WHY NOT Revive

leaves to see what he could find under
them, and his heart was happy, for
his stomach was full, and you know q
full stomach, unless it be too full, al
most always makes a happy heart.
Now, as he pulled over the red and
yellow and brown leaves, his sharp
eyes spied little brown seed. It was
homely little seed which had fallen
from rough pine cone, and you and
I would very likely not have seen it
at all, or if we had we would have
thought it of no account. But Happy
Jacks eyes sparkled when he saw that
homely little brown seed, for he knew
that it was very good to eat.
Not that he was hungry. Oh, my,
no! There wasn't room in his stomach
for the least teeny, weeny bit more
just then. But Happy Jack knew that
there might come time when his
stomach would not be so full, and then
that little brown seed would taste oh,
so good!
Now, he had hidden a great many
little brown seeds and fat nuts near
the Lone Little Path, so when he
picked up this particular little brown
seed quickly he scampered over the dry
leaves until presently he came to the
edge of the Green Forest. He looked
this way and he looked that way to
see if anyone was watching him, and
when he was sure that no one was, he
ran out little way from the edge of
the Green Forest, dug a tiny hole in
the soft, warm earth with his paws,
dropped into it the little brown seed
and covered it carefully.
'There," said he to himself, as he
scampered back TO the Green Forest
to see what more he could find, s'every-
one knows I live in the Green Forest
and no one will think to look out here
for things have hidden"
Old Mother Nature, who knew lust
what Happy Jack had done, smiled, for
she also knew that it was more than
likely that Happy Jack would forget
all about that little brown seed, and If
he did she had plan to use it her

Every Merry
Song Young Trees Carry Away

saw the teeny, weeny Pine-tree and
sent some of her children. the Merry
Little Breezes, to drive up shower
cloud that it might not 60 thirsty.
But no one else saw the teeny, weeny
Pine-tree, or if they did see it, they
took no notice of it. Happy Jack
Squirrel ran right past and didn't so
much as look at it, for he had forgot
ten all about hiding that homely little
brown seed in the ground there. Once
Peter Rabbit, nibbling tender sweet
clover, nearly nipped off the head Of
the teeny, weeny Pine-tree and didn't
even know it.
But nothing really happened to the
teeny, weeny Pine-tree, and it grew
and grew and was happy, for it loved
jolly, round, bright Mr.. Sun and Old
Mother West Wind and the Merry
Little Breezes, and they loved it. So
it grew and grew, and when rough
Brother North Wind came again he
covered it deep with a soft blanket Of
snow to keep it warm all winter.
So the teeny, weeny Pine-tree was
kept safe all the long winter, and when
gentle Sister South Wind once more
came in the spring the teeny, weeny
Pine-tree began to grow again. It
grew and grew and grew and grew
until it was no longer teeny, weeny,
but put out sturdy branches and was
very good to look upon and held its
head high, for it was indeed beauti-
full young tree.
And for time the young Pine-tree
was very, very happy. But after a
while it began to feel lonely. All the
other Pine.trees were in the Green
Forest, and often it could hear them
whispering together and it longed to
whisper with them and could not, and
so it sighed and sighed, and Peter Rab-
bit passing that way often stopped to
wonder what made such a handsome
young Pine-tree seem so sad.
So the years passed and the young
Pine-tree became bigger than any Of
its neighbors in the Green Forest, and
became kno'un as the Beautiful Pine,

We Should Hang GarIands.
The singing Of carols in English vii
lagos was good old custom and ought
to be revived, as we'll as the lighting
Of the Yule log on Christmas eve, for
the memory Of the English Christmas
fingers ever in the British heart, wher-
ever he may be. In the early days at
jamestown, Va, the cradle of English
civilization on this western continent,
John Smith says: "The extreme cold,
frost, rain and snow caused us to keep
Christmas among the savages, where
we We're never more merry nor had
more good oysters, fish, flesh, wild fowl
and good bread nor ever had bet
ter fires in England" Npling, too,
refers to the memory of Yuletide in his
"Black Sheep with the couplet, "At
home they are making merry, twixt
the white and scarlet berry," And so
we should garland the house with trail
ing pine, hang the wreaths of holly in
the window and the mistletoe meath
the chandelier. It helps others if it
does not help you.
6oston's Fine Example.
Last Christmas in Boston the mayor
requested everyone in the city to leave
their window shades up on Christmas
eve to help light the city. Such a
cheerful glow as it gave to old Bea-
con street and Commonwealth avenue!
Down in the Public gardens the city
was enjoying its municipal Christmas
tree, stately fir, bedeeked with myri-
ad colored electric bulbs, while the
band played old familiar carols that
veered into popular street songs be-
fore the crowd scattered. The scene
was significant of Christmas now be-
ing cosmopolitan festival holding
the heart Of Puritan New England,
whose holy Of holes has heretofore
been Thanksgiving. This is right, and
as it should be, since ours is a land
Of religious liberty and Christmas is
the season of '"peace and good will
to all mankind"
