APan Of Stockings
By Christopher G. Hazard

DUDDY SMITH had three ideas
- about his stockings they were
full of feet, full Of holes, and they
could be full Of presents. 1t was with
regard to the third idea that he was
paying attention to the second. Will
ing to go barefoot under the drcum-
stances, he was tieing up the holes In
his best stocking with view to the
Christmas possibilities. His sister,
Agnes, had already hung up much
longer stocking, with a note attached
in which she Informed all who might
be concerned that this one was hers.
But Agnes, like the monkey that used
a rabbit for a muff and kept himself
warm by hugging it, was a little sell
fish. Not only had she hung up one OF
her mothers stockings, but she had got
an advantage over Buddy in the mat

Human Nature
VS.. the
Christmas Spirit
By Mary Graham Bonner
Ne& NSR
"a, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)

(0, 1922, Western Newspaper Un1on.)
VK7E WERE full Of the Christmas
Wv spirit. We were going to be more
kindly, more charitable, more friendly
with the whole world. The Christmas
spirit had penetrated. We could feel
it's warm glow. And scatter a glo-
rious Christmas in the old homestead
we were on our way back to the city
where lately our work had taken US.
The travel was heavy, Of course,
and we found ourselves waiting at
the end Of a. long line to get into the
dining car. We waited for an hour by
our watches. We were exhausted from
having stood and from annoyance at
the slowness Of others and because we
were very hungry.
Finally the line grew shorter. Soon
our turns would come. But it seemed
not. For those who had gone into the
dining car at last to eat took time
about it even though their absence
made the waiting line shorter one.
At last we were at the head Of the
line. It had been a long process to
work up to this point and we smiled
at one another.
: "Only a moment now and we'll be
eating" we fairly beamed the words.
, But again it seemed not so. For
those at the tables were eating and
eating and eating. They would never
finish, it appeared. When they ap-
preached the end Of their meal and we
almost bounded to the nearly-vacant
table we discovered they were taking
their time over their coffee.
"How selfish people are" we said to
each other. "How much they lack the
unselfsh Christmas spirit. It means
nothing to theml They know there Is
a great line waiting and they don't
hurry in the least. Why, just think Of
the length Of time we've waited and
there are more to follow US. And yet
those people can be as leisurely as
though they were in their own homes
It's outrageous, simply outrageous,
how utterly selfish people are.
And you would think at this time OF
the year they'd be little more
thoughtful"
And to our exhaustion was added
the sorrow we felt in the thoughtless'
ness Of human nature.
And then-the head waiter sum-
moned US to table. Two persons had
at last arisen and at last our turns
had actually come!
We sat back and luxuriousg perused
the menu. Well, we were hungry. We'd
have a good meal!
And we began to order.
"And I'm just going to take my
time about it, too," I said. "Just be-
cause people stand there and glare at
US, as though we almost had no right
to be eating our meal, isn't going to
make me hurry"
81 should say not" said my COM
panion. "We'll take all the time in the
world in spite Of their ugly looks!"
It was some time later that we re-
membered the Christmas spirit we had
been so full Of before!
"Human nature VS.. Christmas spir'
It." we said sadly to each other.

Thpeaf
Ear That Heard
"a, 1s22, Western Newspaper Union.)
eq chrisfophsr 6. Hazard

MRS. BECOME was not giving any
AVA thing that Christmas. The an
nouncement Of her limited purposes
had sent q chill through the house
that froze the hopes Of several young
people. A shower Of one-cent cards,
registering good wishes that were
rather cheap, had gone out. The bag
of candy for the eager, but insincere'
well-wishers that ring Christmas bells
year by year had not been provided.
The outlook was not promising.
Besides, Mrs. Begone was very deaf
In one ear and could, upon occasion,
be very deaf in two ears. It was
difficult to make her hear anything
that she didn't want to hear. There
wasn't much chance for persuasive
argument. She could be as deaf as an
adder, when she had concluded not to
be multipier.
Nevertheless, Susy did not despair;
choosing a favorable after dinner time,
she advanced to the attack with a
well prepared Christmas appeal which
was favored with anticipations.
But as soon as the old lady heard
the word "Christmasp she became
wholly unable to hear more. Susy con-
tinued from behind her back, got
down on her knees, peered up from
the floor, peeped up through her
fingers, without effect. Finally, re-
marking in an aside, wouldn't she
wear you out?" the child was about
to give up, when she was encouraged
by the beginning Of smile that
seemed to promise to spread all over
Mrs. Begone's countenance. This
hint Of success was reflected In a
broader smile upon the child's face
that in turn found registry upon the
face Of the other and certified that
the battle was won.
It was a costly smile for Mrs. Be-
gone; six very empty stockings asked
for contributions the next evening,
but I dare say that she was happier In
filing them than she would have been
If her deafness had not been cured
She was even happier than the chill
dren, and that is saying a good deal
She was so happy that she changed
an old saying in her mind and, in
stead of ''True happiness. if under
stood, consists alone in being good,
she made it "True happiness, if under
stood, consists alone in doing good

THE FAILING FLASH

THERE was a pattering OF
L feet through the hall and a
small spot Of light approached
the big fireplace. A long and
bulbous stocking was clasped to
a beating heart and an eager
little face was half revealed as
it turned bedward again In the
faint glimmer. Then a sudden
darkness overwhelmed the small
pilgrim, and, as she lost hee way
and bumped into a chair, the
stuffed Christmas stocking fell
to the floor with a bang. The
wall that followed brought
father down stairs in a hurry
and comfort to the lost traveller.
"What is the matter, baby, what
are you doing here?" said the
rescuer. "The Electricity fell

MANY DRY GOODS Buy
ERS AT BATESVILlE

The surest sign ofspring Is to see
merchants buying their spring stocks
OF dry goods aud this being the case
we are sure spring is here, because
last week the Arkansas Dry Goods
Co, did a tremendous business.
Their sales manager, Mr.. w. M.
Ball, told Guard reporter that il
was one of The best weeks business
they have ever experienced. Mr..
Ball stated that be attributed this
large business to the fact that his
firm had, since their organization
eighteen months ago, endeavored to
supply the retail merchants with re-
liable merchandise at the very low
est prices,
This hrm interested not only Ar
kansas merchants, but also merchants
from other states Mr.. II. p, Mea-
ohum of Louisiana was in the city
and after being shown through this
firms large stock and given their
regular prices, decided TO place his
order with them rather than buy IN
bis local markets. Mr.. Meachum
was reared In Arkansas ana most OF
our readers will remember Harry
Meachum. He was mere on a visit
TO his mother. Another out of state
merchant was Mr.. J. b. Billingsley
of Missouri. This hrm has bought
number OF bills from the Arkansas
Dry Goods Co and is we'll satisfied
with their prices and service.
The Arkansas Dry Goods Co.,
was organized in August of 1920,
and began business in September of
the same year. At the head of the
organization is Mr.. w. NJ. Ball.
who has without a doubt, more ex-
perience as a dry goods buyer than
probably any man iE Arkansas. He
makes regular trips to the New
York and o;h,r eastern mark Is, and
is always in touch with the market.
HIS retail experience of thirty
years is invaluable TO the average
retail buyer, as he can render vslus-
BILE aid In the selection of their mer-
chandise. The increased sales Of
this firm is evidence of their popu.
