A little boy offered to get them
one. He only had to 60 few steps
before he found one. And he held
the door open wide for the two men
us he had seen carriage starters and
automobile starters do.
He had been looking for odd Jobs
that evening. His Christmas money
was not very much, and he did want
to get just few Christmas presents
to give away. He had already made
some. II he could only get ten cents
now he would have enough. That
would buy his mothers present. He
wanted to get her pink carnation.
he had seen such beauties, and they
were ten cents apiece.
One of the men paid no attention to
him. The other fumbled at his
pocket. "Here, don't be silly, youn
give the child bad IDEAS" said his
friend. "He really didn't do anything.
He will think he can beg for any
thing. That's a bad influence you're
exerting," he muttered on, as the man
who had fumbled at his pocket drew
forth shiny ten-cent piece and gave
it to the boy, whose pale face and
dark eyes lighted up In joy.
Later they stopped in at restau-
rant to have something to eat. The
man who had reproved the other for
the ten-cent tip to the small boy hand
ed the waiter large tip in advance,
which made the waiter fawning in his
attentions.
"We'll get better SERVICE" he e1-
planned, "and then, too, It's Christmas
time"
But the friend who had been re-
proved said: "You don't think you're
exerting bad influence by any
chance, do you7"
And the boy bought the carnation
and went home, successful and happy,
but the waiter snubbed the next Gus
toner because he failed to get an ex-
orbitant tip.

also bear on the possibility of the
disuse of the natural tree.
The Yule log succumbed to the
greater attractiveness of the Christ
mas tree. And the Yule log had its
predecessors in the various celebra-
tions that occurred at the close of the
old and the beginning of the new
year during the first centuries of the
Christian era.
The Christmas tree is believed to be
a German institution. but the Romans
celebrated the birth Of Christ about
the middle Of the Fourth century by
the display Of tree decorations, and in
some sections of Europe the festival
was observed by the employment Of
pyramids decorated with green twigs
and ornaments. Christmas trees should
not be cut except from dense growths
where thinning of young trees can be
made with benefit to the forest. The
New York State College of Forestry
in the interest of conservation of the
forests urges the adoption of artificial
substitutes for trees In the observ.
ances Of the Yule-tide festival.

THE INVISIBLE GIFT

THERE'S gift on the Christ
= mas tree that we cannot see,
but we know it's there. There's
something that gives value to
all the rest and we feel 1t. With
the rich there are fifty gifts to
one baby; with the poor, fifty
babies to one gift; with both
there is this something that
makes an equal happiness, some
thing that gives riches nothing
over and poverty nothing lack,
Ing, something that gives light
without candles and. warmth
without fire. The tree itself
springs from 1t, the Christmas
festival sings Of it. We are all
excited by 1t and about 1t. It
fills the shops with beautiful
things, gathers crowds to buy
them. hangs garlands in the
windows, carols on the air. It
makes the church bells ring and
kindles devoutest worship. 1t is
love that hangs upon the Christ
mas tree. Without the Cross the
Christmas tree had never been.
