AN what is thim?' asked O'Leary.
"Old Finnerty," said Sullivan, shak-
ing his head sadly. HE does nawthin'
but weep and wall tn day and com
plain of tn hard heart of tn law"
"'Tis curious" said O'Leary, "for
by this time l w'u'd be thinkin' he
w'u'd be used t. tn Jail and feel at
home In it."
"'Tis that he do be complainin' Of"
said Sullivan, for it's a fine Jail and
good and warm and tn best home old
Finnerty has had for nanny a long
year., and it's broke his heart Is to be
turned out. And sorry 1 am t. turn
him out, but tn law Is plain on tn
same. TIL county of Fremont Is run
min no free hotel for tn benefit Of old
man Finnerty, and tn town Of Lone
Tree is forbid by law t. pay tn board
an lodging in tn county Jail of amy
one whin tn term of his sintince Is
run out. So out he must go, poor felly!
Twill be a hard Christmas for old
man Finnerty, and him turned out of
jail and tn weather so cold!'
O'Leary's eyes sparkled.
Poor felly?' he said. And whin
does he come out?'
Sullivan sighed. II am ON me way
c tn Jail now," he said, 1T dispossess
him out. And | wish tn divil had tn
job and not Tim Sullivan"
Mr.. O'Leary turned in the opposite
direction and let Mr.. Sullivan proceed
alone to his painful task. Mr.. O'Leary
went into the shoe shop of MI. Wallis,
who looked up inquiringly.
"'Tis a sad thing, Mr.. Wallis" said
Mr.. O'Leary, st put temptation in tn
way of tn young. 'Tis not tn proper
thing for a mimber of a church t. do.
And if I sh'u'd say what [ think of
Misther Tousley for dom that same
it w'u'd be hard worlds"
MI. Wallis opened his eyes very wide.

me idee tn explanation and meanin'
of it Is he w'u'd be houldin' tn trees
till tn price goes t tn top. IT'S TIL

readin' this many a day."
The idea seemed to appeal to Mr..
Wallis. He suggested therefore that
they go and offer Mr.. Tousley more
than they had agreed to pay for the
trees. They went, and they offered
When four times the original price had

"Such a mans ISIS crazy yet" said
Mr.. Wallis d~ejectedly. when man
will not for money do something's ISIS
he sure crazy. What for will all such
poor leedle childrens do NIT no trees
by Christmas? What ways ISIS it to
bust a trust yet? l like me to bust
dat Christmas tree trust. Tell me how
ISIS dose trusts busted and l bust me

II dunno how t. bust tn trust, Wal

population of Lone Tree that has or
dered trees of Misther Tousley finds
out there is none of thin allowed t
hev trees by tn conscience of MistheI
Tousley they will smash tn head OF
him and celebrate wild a funeral"
When the news got around public
opinion was aroused; but, although
there was some talk to the effect that
Mr.. Tousley ought to be tarred and
feathered, no one seemed to take the
job. Instead those who had ordered
trees went to Mr.. T%ousley's store and
talked to him. 1t made no more I'm
preston on him than the committee Oh

the committees, and the meeting ad-
journed.
The Lone Tree Sunday school had 6
Christmas tree every Christmas, anC
every Christmas Brother Wallis was
named as the one member of the com
mittee on the tree and Mike O'Leary
as the other, Brother Wallis to order
the tree and Mike O'Leary to do al
the work Of setting it up in the Sun
day school.
Around the town of Lone Tree the
great prairie stretched out for mile aft
re mile with no tree on it, and ever
the tree that had given the town It's
name was gone. Getting a tree was
nevertheless an easy matter. All that
was necessary was to order 1t OF Tous-
ley, and in due time it was sent out
from Chicago by a commission firm
that Tousley dealt with.
Tousley was the grocer. lie was a
middle sized man with a severe cast
of ~countenance and a greasy looking
wig that he had used for a great many
years.
Brother Wallis ordered the tree from
Brother Tousley. He ordered 1t In
good time to give the grocer time to
write to Chicago and for the tree to
come. With 1t the grocer ordered the
other trees, smaller ones, that were to
be used in the private homes of Lone
Tree.
A couple of days before Christmas
Mike O'Leary took his team and went
to Tousley's to get the tree. Brother
Tousley had taken it into the store,
and 1t lay at full length, quite block
ing up the aisle in front of the counter.
The smaller trees were piled on and
around it.
"Ive come fer TIL tree, Misther Tous-
ley" said O'Leary. "W'u'd We be CIV
in me a lift wild 1t T. tn wagonT"
MI. Tousley looked at Mike O'Leary
%sternly. He was reading some book,
and he-kept it open Oh his lap and did
not offer to rise. He stared at Mr..
O'Leary for a minute with a far away
gaze.
Get out!" he exclaimed. $50 away
1 have NO tree for you. l don't believe
in Christmas trees. I don't believe In
Christmas. All nonsense or worse. !

"Now, now" Mr.. Tousley said In his
tantalizing drawl. "We won't quarrel
Mr.. O'Leary; we will let 1t pass. / tell
you l don't believe In Christmas trees.

He smiled kindly at O'Leary as one
would smile at a well meaning but
misguided child.

OF Brother Tousley, "he w'u'd not let
me have tn tree. 'Tis clean crazy he
has gone. | dunno!"
Mr.. Wallis was not excitable. He
vas a German and the best natured of
men. He laid down the shoe and took
off the leather apron.

said, shaking his head. Il can't make

why he should der tree not give you.
Why" he said, when be don'dt give

things man does not. Nobody loses
money von purpose"
They walked over to Mr.. Tousley's
and found him still reading his book.
He nodded to them when they entered.
but that was all. In vain they ar
gued. Mr.. Tousley had merely gone
back to the ideas of his Puritan an
cestors. They had not believed that
Christmas was a proper festival for
good people to celebrate and would
have none of it, and Mr.. Tousley had
been studying the history of the Puri-
tans, and his naturally dissenting spir-
it had led him to light upon the OBJ
s%ervation of Christmas as a fit subject
for opposition. Once his decision was
made no consideration could turn him
from following his conscience,
1t was too late to get any more trees
In time for Christmas eve. Mr.. O'Leary
and Mr.. Wallis retired to the shoe shop
to consider the matter.

said Mr.. O'Leary tentatively, "w'u'd

and him me own cousin, be afther ar

HE w'u'd." said Tim Sullivan IN
feelingly.
"Tis no sin t break a trust" said
O'Leary.

For the better part of the forenoon
Mr.. Tousley tried hard to arouse pub
lie sentiment in his favor, but vainly.
for he had trifed with the ~inalienable
right of Americans to have Christmas
trees on Christmas. and people hate a
man whose conscience sticks out so
far that 1t interrupts the traffic on the
main travelled roads.

"Shtop!" shouted Sullivan, pointing

PRESIDENTS RENOMINATION
ASSURED.

wv. j. Bryan, in the Commoner.)
1t is now certain that President
Wilson will be renominated by accla
nation. No other name will be pre-
sented to the convention. The plat
form will endorse his administra-
ton. and the record made by the
democratic congress. The differences,
such as may exist, between the Presi
dent and congress, will be compro-
missed and the party will present &
united front.
1t is remarkable record of achieve
ment, nothing to compare with it in
number and Importance of reforms
accomplished. Where republican lead.
ers have opposed all that has been
done in favor of lower tariff rates
an income tax, currency reform and
antitrust legislation. They have in
sisted on war with Mexico and ever
want to enter the European war
Where the President has conceded
more than he should to the scarednes<
program, the republican leaders have
demanded even more, SO that the
President is nearer the people thar
the Republican leaders. Let every
Democrat get ready for the campaign
and go to work.

KILLED OUT BY CHICKWEED.

Mr.. j. o. Corell, of Thompson VAL
ley, reports that almost his entire
crop of several acres of alfalfa had
been smothered and killed out by
chickweed. This pest came here in
seed several years ago and is spread
ing throughout the county. How to
get rid of it is question. 1t will
smother out any small grass. 1t grows
and seeds after corn is laid by, dur.
ing the winter. A patch of it on the
Experiment. Farm - was in full
bloom during the frozen weather in
January, where corn had grown, tho
not sprig Of it was in sight when
the corn was laid by. The only way
to kill it seems to be to smother
1t by some heavy growing crop sown
early so as to "get there first" and
hold it down during the winter. Seed
sown on chickenweed land late in the
fall will be smothered out, nine times
In ten. Have any of the farmers had
experience with the pest?
