THE LAND
OF CHRISTMAS.

Once upon time there was a poor
little lame boy who bad no toys. Tom
| knew this was true, for one day, at
the little boys house, Tom asked him
to bring out his toys, and the little
boy answered, II haven't any toys"
Tom could hardly believe that there
was anybody in the world without
even one toy, so he went home and
told little sister about it, and together
they planned to bring the little boy
toy from the beautiful Land OF
Christmas.
Mother was willing for them to go,
so hand in hand, on the day before
Christmas went Tom and little sister.
They did not kno wthe way, so they
asked a feathery snowflake which
came and lighted saucily on the end
of Toms finger;
pretty snowflake, while you linger
On the tip of my warm finger,
Tell me, where's the Land of
Christmas?"
And il answered, Oh, so softly;
Little boy and girl, politely
Ask the tree that shines so brightly
II you seek the Land of Christmas. !"
The children continued their jour
ney, and at last they arrived at the
great tree all shining brightly across
the white snow. When the children
asked the way to Christmas Land,
thus the shining tree responded;
Step into my trunk so hollow,
Take the Magic Wand, and follow
The Shining Path to Christmas
So they stepped into the hollow
trunk, where they found the magic
wands. Tom chose silver wand with
a star at the end of it, and Little Sis
ter a golden one, with white dove
at its end
When the children stepped out of
the tree, they were surprised to find
themselves grow very small indeed
And this they noticed if the magic
wands were held aloft, the children
remained small, but if the wands we're
lowered, the children grew large
again.
The children knew that in the Land
of Magic they must obey all the
great commands, so they started
down the Shining Path, holding their
magic wands high in the air They
journeyed on and on and at last they
reached great wall, and when they
looked up they saw beautiful lights
which spelled the words Christmas
Land" over the tiny gateway
Tom reached up and pulled the bell
rope, and out upon the frosty air
rang the sweetest chimes you ever
heard. Soon the tiny gates opened
and Tom and Little Sister were glad
that they were small enough to slip
through And oh, such beautiful
land as it wasl Every tree was
Christmas tree all laden with Christ
mas gifts. The music boxes were play
ing. the horns were footing, the dolls
were saying Mamma" and Papa"
the -the-box were jumping
out then hiding again, and everything
seemed to be saying, Take mel Take
mel" 1t was hard for the children to
select just one toy for their little
friend.
They skipped about for long time,
examining the toys. Finally, on the
top branch of one of the tallest trees,
there hung a box tied with big red
bow. On one side we're printed the
words Magic Lantern"
The very thingl" said Tom, but
how could he bring down the box
from the top of tree so tall-for, as
you remember, the children were very
small. Just then little breeze whis-
Dered in Toms EAR.

Prior to the report the market had
an upward tendency, partly because
of anticpations of bullish figures and
partly because of the unreasonable low
temperatures in the belt. The trading
months just before the bureau came in
were 80 to SO points higher than the
close of last week Following the re-
port there were breaks of 113 to 120
points which carried the market 81 to
SO points under the last prices of last
week. No great recuperative power
was shown and late in the day prices
were only 10 to 10 points up from the

The weather continues unfavorable
