Christmas Packages.

A woman whose Christmas pack
ages never fail to reach their destina-
ton in safety says she always writes
the name and address Of the recipient
upon the inside wrapper of the box
containing them. Packages sometimes
lose their outside wrappings, but If
the postal clerks can find the address
on the inside wrapping all will be
well. This woman also ties up the in
side wrapping securely before putting
on the outside cover.

1t is true that many contract Sc
ere colds and recover from them
without taking any precaution or
treatment, and a knowledge of this
fact leads others take their chances
instead of giving their colds the
needed attention. 1t should be
borne in mind that every cold
weakens the lungs, lowers the vital
ity, makes the system less able to
withstand each succeeding attack
and paves the way for the more
serious disease. Can you afford to

CHAPTER WILTON the steamer Web
ster finds his stateroom occupied by a
stranger who declares his intention of
being his guest to Buenaventura. At first
angered, Webster and the stranger, after
somewhat forcible argument, reach an
amicable agreement Webster recognizes
him as the youth whose life he had saved
the day before. though the other does
not know Webster.
CHAPTER IX.-Arriving at Sobrante,
Geary welcomes Webster and is instru-
mental in helping his friends guest
ashore The latter is known to Webster
as Andrew Bowers" Geary houses him
at Mother jerks. Webster gets the idea
that Geary and Dolores are in love, and
with the intention of giving Geary every
chance he smilingly contradicts the girls
statement that they have met before.

howhng aroused all the other Animal
Folks. and out of their houses they
flew in time to see Timmy Tom Tiger
in his gorgeous new striped coat go
piunging about this way and that way
roaring roars that sent shivers OF
fright all down their back-bones. All
of them we're so terrified that they
bounced back into the house in Jiffy.
They peeked through tiny crack in

thought 1t was a strange and terrible
new Beast raging outside. But pres

stepped gingerly out of their front
doors and began walking gingerly in
circles all around Timmy Tom Tiger.
But from that day on Timmy Tom
Tiger with his striped coat was the
very leader Of fashion in the Jungle.
