with earth and enrichment and wa
tered 1t from day to day. His frequent
inspections did not much reward his
hope; indeed, the tree seemed to be
whitening, and yet, on Christmas
morning, there 1t was, all adorned and
well supplied with gifts as beautiful
as barberry bush.
It was strange, however, that withal
there did not seem to be much happi-
ness among the branches. Indeed, be-
fore long, Peter seemed as dissatisfied
and fretful as though his tree had
borne him nothing more than its wild
cones. His mother felt good deal
disappointed. for she had hoped that
The Raymer enterprise., 1922-11-30

so wonderful a surprise would be as
happy a thing for him as 1t had been
for her; but she could think Of nothing
better, so that the Christmas celebra-
ton began to seem like a failure. Mr..
Cadwalader, however. had sugyes.
ton to make. He said that he thought
that the tree had not been cultivated
enough, and that II Peter would invite
some Of his young friends In he
thought they might get a good deal Of
pleasure out Of things even yet.
When the little company had assem-
bled and Mr.. Cadwalader had dis.
tributed some packages that he had
placed on the tree there was a merry
time over the games that he knew
how to play, and a wondering when
he disappeared into the hallway, prom.
Using to come back all dressed up In a
minute and take the three gifts of
that were left on the tree and see
what they were and who they were
for.
They hardly knew the Jolly man
who came back, after a little, all In
red, with white whlskers and paper
snowflakes In his hair and on his coat,
as though he had come in out Of
snow storm. Little Dorothy Avery, the
smallest Of them all, jumped up and
leaned on her crutch as she exclaimed:
II know him, he's friend of NINE"
mistaking him for Santa Claus, but
the older ones did not correct her mis-
take.
Whoever he was, he made them a
little speech and wished them n merry
day and began to take of the three
The Raymer enterprise., 1922-11-30


was now going to let them have them.
The first Of the three gifts was q
small box, all done up In tissue paper.
When Dorothy had taken of the paper
and undone the box there was another
little box, and when she opened this
box there was another little box In
that, then there was another little
box, then there was another little box,
then there was another little box, then
there was another little box; and so
1t went on until, In the last box, she
found q gold dollar. The second gift
was = bayberry candle, with these
words on q piece Of paper:
Bet me In the window some dark night
Many viii not Sec me, someone might.
Madeline got this second present
and seemed very glad Of 1t. Then the
third gift was taken down and pre-
scented to Peter. It was only q note,
all done up In an envelope. but It
helped him to see why the party had
made him happier than he had been
when he was all alone with his tree,
for he could not only read the note,
but also the sweet meaning when 1t
said:
All trees are Christmas trees that bear
The care Of love and love Of care.
To cultivate Christmas tree
Plant It In love and let It be.
Gold for misfortune II will keep,
Light In the darkness It will give.
Its truth will blossom while you sleep.
Its happy kindness while you live.
So Peter found out all that the old
woodsman had meant when he told
him about cultlvating trees.

Removing Water Spot,

Some silks and woods are spotted by
water. A satisfactory method for re-
moving such spots Is to dampen the
entire material evenly and press It
while still damp. Either sponge the
material carefully with clean water
or shake It In the steam from a briskly
boiling tea kettle until 1t Is thoroughly
damp, then press It.

PENALTIES FOR
SPYING ON ACTS
OF THE CONCLAVE
Excomnunication, Dismissal and
Criminal Punishment Prom
ised By Cardinal Gasparri

Rene, Feb. 2.-(By the Associated
Fresg.)-M&jor accommodation and
instant dismissal from the Vatican
household is one of the penalties
which will be inflicted upon any per-
son in attendance at the conclave, if
found guilty of impartirg information
concerning it's deliberations or votes
to persons outside, before the result
is officially announced. Cardinal Gas
parri served notice to this effect today
to all concerned.
The cardinals instructions came af-
ter the reported discovery that a
newspaper man had practically COM
pleted arrangements to don a walters
uniform and for a large monetary con-
sideration had induced a designated
waiter to allow the journalist to enter
the conclave in his stead The report
er is said to have. first opened nego-
tiations with Barber but it was
feared that his unskilled tonsorial eff
forts might prove dangerous for the
cardinals.

MULBERRY NOTES
1 Burton l. Davis

A lady visitor in this city, sitting on
the Juanata Hotel porch was heard
to remark: What a great improve
ment in the view from this porch
could be made If the back of this
business block facing this way could
be covered with pretty green vines
and the vacant lots cleaned up and
kept So" This would lie a great i'm
provement, but right there comes in
that big question which is pending the
decision of the council, Shall no.
fence law be adopted and enforced for
this community" No vines could be
started with the cattle running at
large, the vacant lots could not be
kept clean until cows, horses, pigs,
etc. to dump our trash boxes and
spread papers around everywhere.
They not only do this but manage in
some way to enter peoples yards ana
destroy plants, flowers and any sort
OF vegetables OF shrubs growing in
the yard. The sanitary point OF view
should also be an important factor in
the reaching of a decision on this i'm
portant matter.
