ATT WAS Christmas morning.
Old Hiram Palmer sat by
the window waiting for the
postman. Christmas eve
had been rather bleak. He
had seen, from the window, groups Of
--s people passing from time to time, hur-
!. rying, smiling, such gay, happy peo-
pie.
Hiram was, old, too old. He had
outlived his friends, his immediate
family, his day had long since gone
by. He had given generously to hos
pitfalls and charitable institutions and
a number of personal presents. He
always, for example, sent some of the
large baskets of fruit the towns lead
ing shop arranged so attractively. to
use he knew would never buy them
selves such delicacies.
The last Christmas he had only re-
ceived two presents. One from his |
nephew out West and another from
grandchild.
He was waiting for these now.
The postman came along the street.
Eagerly old Hiram waited. And then

 English Languagc.

Among the successful applicants for citizenship papers at the United States district court Thursday was Miss Marie c. Shahini.. of New Brit ain. Miss Shahinion was born on the island of Syprus of Armenian and Greek parents. Typhoid fever de- prived her of her hearing at an carly age and also left her physically weak When she was five years old. her fam fly came to this country and in the fall of 1906, she was admitted as & pupil to the American School for the Deal. -
 Unable to hear, to speak or to un- derstand English. she began her edu- cation in an orally taught class. She became an excellent speech reader and learned to speak we'll. Since her graduation in 1916, she has passed the entrance examinations of Gallaudet college and also the United States civil service examinations for clerks.
 Her examination in court was con- ducted orally and Judge Thomas ex- pressed surprise and pleasure at her ability to speak and read speech so readily. Her witnesses were Misses Bessie Nixon and Orpha Farmer. teachers at the school.

 A screen director would have paid Mfr.

 '@why. Mrs. Burgcss!'' he wheexcd wfrila his forehead contortcd into . remarkable frown. This is madness! You arc throwing away your proper ty."
 Mrs Burgess turned on him with i. nnappinE eyes.
 Now look herc. Jim Oicott" shc said. Two listened to tht cong and dance from you now for over hvo years. Walt till you sit your pricc- wait i'll you Eet your price could harc got six thousand six years ago whom prices was low. but you advised mo to rent. And look what Two got on my hands now.

 Long years of teAching High school pupils have taught mo to watch for the psychological moment when u per son is at the crux Of q decision. Mrs. Rurwcss's mentality. I saw. had never advanced beyond tho school age. and knew if tried to press any further reduction on her she would bnik. and the whole wonderful bargain be lost. A Quick Decision
 So. without waiting for the signal from Lillian. which sho had arid she would give if tho occasion demanded. I made my decision. and promptly net cd upon it.
 'T'H give you four thousand sald. ''ff you'li come over to the bani, with mo they will identify me. and I'll give you a check for whatever you wish 10 bind the bargain until get to tho city.

There med be no delay unlcss therc fs some flaw in the title. for my husband will come out with me to sign the papors." I spoke with a confidence I was far from feeling. for I hnd no idea how picky would react to this sudden deci- aion on my part. especially with his mothcE'n captious ideas backing hiia up in any objections he might evolve.

That place has near worried the life out of me"
 My heart warmed to the kindly woman--how VIC like the people who say nice things to us-and l drew out my folding checkbook with the sooth- ing sense of assisting at a homely tea drinking instead of completing a cold financial transaction.
 The feeling stayed with me even through Mr. Olcott's frigid handling of tho remainder of tho business-his disappointment ecemed positively to hnve conreaIed him-and I went out of tho place li-ht-heartedly.

BIG PHoToPLAY +..
 DRAMA AT PALACE

Merit pervades tho whole atmos- phere of Allan Dwan's production of The Scoffer," which will open an en- Sagement at the Palace theater Mon day and which may well be listed as one of the very best photodramas of the current season. Seldom has such story been told so masterfully and rarely have incidents held an audience so enthralled. An intensive drama, it opens the eyes to some of life's foi- bles. yet in no sense is it guilty of noralizing. .
 There will be an entire new Keith vaudeville bill of four fine acts.

THE RIGHT TO HAPPINESS.

Do you question my right to be happy,
The right to be joyous and free?
Then question the right of the sun
beams
To shine over meadow and lea.
Do you question my right to be happy,
The longing for pleasure, not pain Z?
AS well question the right of the violet
To blossom on hilltop and plain.
If my right to be happy is challenged,
Then answer me this, if you will
The right Of the rose to its Fragrance
And the air with its sweetness IL
fill.
The breezes that play in the tree-tops
The song birds that tilt in the air,
All bid me rejoice and be happy,
Forgetting dull sorrow and care.
10 the bee has been the instinct
10 gather the sweets from the
flowers
70 me, the same God-given instinct
To wander meath rose-laden bow IS
As the brook ripples on to the river
And thence sings its way to the sea
So the same right to laugh and be
happy
Has been given to you and to me.
Surroundings may be humble anc
sordid,
But no one may question the right
Of the soul, as the flowers, to strive
upward
From the darkness of earth to tn,
light.
