The Christmas Spirit in Kingstree.

II the only contribution Of Jesus
Christ to the world had been the
Christmas Spirit, His life in the flesh
would still have been worthy of Di-
vinity Ynd His cross become the sign
of the conqueror for all after ages.
It may be that felt the Christmas
Spirit in Kingstree more than some
other men, although I simply touched
the hem of its garment. / have five
little folks in my house and all the
time I knew that my home cup Of
happiness would be full, but not even
my imagination had prepared me for
the beauty I saw come out of the
love Of the tribe.
Many days before Christmas, the
Kingstree kindergarten began to col
lect through its fortunate little folks
things that would bring joy into places
where not even Hope had been born.
The Undergraduates carried fruits
and confections and toys to their
playhouse and their instructors low
ingly and intelligently filled big pa
per sacks with those good things for
other children IN the county that 9TH
erwise might not have been so blessed
on the Day of the Nativity.
I looked into one of these paper
bags. I saw an orange, an apple, a
bunch Of grapes, some nuts, cluster
of raisins, package Of candy, a
pair of pants for a four year old, and
a big tin horn. 1 did not look into
any other bag. Perhaps I could see
nc longer. But l followed that one
bag to a hut twenty five miles away
and saw in my mind the one who re-
ceived it. And Christmas, while that
little boy blew his horn, the morning
star ceased singing for me.
Seventy eight Of the smaller chill
dren Of the Methodist Sunday School
in Kingstree each contributed a stock
ing in the toe of which its fellow
stocking had been stuffed and the re-
manning space filled with good things
to eat and overfiowing with a toy.
The first grade of the Kingstree
school gave great many joy bring
ers and individuals, who did not find
about them room enough to give what
they wished, made contributions.
I did not see the thousand and one
things that went arsight from hand
to hand and from hsart 10 heart, but
I did see what the several organiza-
tions in Kingstree turned over to the
Red Cross for distribution. For
everybody knows that the Red Cross
knows where things are most needed
and will bring the greatest comfort
and blessing.
Miss Daisy Warn, assisted by Miss
Mary Catherine Epps, Dora Harring-
ton, Elizabeth Fairey, Belva Jenkin-
son, Vivian Baker, Grace Kinder,
Flora Smith, Joe Boswell, and others,
filled the Red Cross car full of these
stockings and things many times and
distributed them all over the county.
1 wonder if these happy little girls,
who aided Miss Warn, know that the
light radiating from the eyes of the
hundreds of little children whom they
helped to bless will brighten and
soften and sweeten all their days?
And I wonder if
Ye, who the Day would celebrate
And honor the Babe all undefiled,
Know there is many a manger bed
Ye shall find if ye will by His star
be led
That Christ is born in every child.
William Willis Boddie.

R A AND PROVISIONS.

ID Chicago, Jan. chickering's OF
were light today and prices ad-
,vanced 2 cents before the upturn was
checked. There was a general rush
of, short covering and commission
house buying at the outset, while on
the bulge there was some selling at
tributcd to the same interest that has
been credited with selling freely for
some days past. A report from cen
trail Illinois told of considerable sales
of the cereal there yesterday. Initial
quotations which were from one cent
lower to one cent higher. with March
$1.64 1-2 to 1.65 1-2, and May $1.64
to $1.55, were followed by rallies all
around.
The market fuctuated considerably
and, at the close averaged higher, due
to continued short covering and buy
ing by houses with export connections
the latter removing hedges against
sales abroad. At the finish wheat
ranged from / "a to. 3 Ia cents net
higher, with March S1.66 IA -to
1.67 IA and May $1.57 ga tt 1853.
