TWO men were finishing their
= Christmas shopping late one
Christmas eve.
Lets call a taxicab," said one. "We
have SO many bundles and it is start
ing to rain"
A little boy offered to get them
one. He only had to go few steps
before he found one. And he held
the door open wide for the two men
as 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 a few Christmas presents
to give away. He had already made
some. If he could only get ten cents
now he would have enough. That
would buy his mothers present. He
wanted to get her a 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. 1Here, don't be silly, you'll
give the child bad IDEAS" said his
friend. HE really didn't do anything.
He win 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.

attentions.

planned. land then, too, it's Christmas
time"
But the friend who had been re-
proved said: "You don't think you're
exerting a bad influence by any
chance, do you?"
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-
orhitant tip.

AIDES. One Of these influences is
the danger of a confiagration in
the home where Christmas trees
are lighted with candles, although
this danger is being partially over
come by the use Of electricity for
illuminating purposes. Another re-
strictive tendency is the cost Of

SO spry. While she was tying her bon
net under her chin she told her plan
to Mr.. Squirrel.
Sandy" THAT was Mr.. Squirrels
name) ''the children living in the big
house across the road always have q
stocking full Of good things on Christ
mas morning. l have seen them come
out and scatter crumbs to the birds
and tie bits Of suet on the twigs Of
trees. Perhaps If we went walking by
they would throw us some nuts. We
don't care to beg, but it is only fair
that they who have SO much and are
so kind-hearted should spare us a little
on Christmas morning."
Mr.. Squirrel thought this an excel
lent plan, and gave his shoes such an
extra polishing that they nearly put
his eyes out.
1t all happened just as they had
hoped. When they approached the big
house across the road, there were the
children outdoors scattering crumbs
and grain. One boy was climbing a
tree with bit of suet tied to a string
in his hand. There was a good deal of
shouting and laughing going on, and to
tell the truth the squirrels were lit
tie timid. But when one is hungry, 1t
does not pay to be afraid.
AS soon as the children caught sight
of them they shouted louder than ever.
"Oh, obi" they cried, "see Mr.. and
Mrs. SQUIRREL How nice they look !
Let's give them some nuts r.
And If you will believe me, those

to hear it. A Merry Christmas indeed
Mrs. Squirrel still had her paws in
her apron pockets. She seemed to be
thinking very hard. The harder she
thought the more she cooked her head
on one side. She actually seemed in
danger of bending it so far it would

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-
lions 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
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 igrowths
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 Yuie-tide festival.

wrong In a love affair had embit-
tered him, however, and caused his
inisanthropical retirement into his USE
less obscurity. Reacting against So
ciety, he had more and more turned his
thoughts inward and inclosed himself
in shell Of selfishness. He was the
sole inhabitant of his little world and
charity was his servant the only needs
he really believed in were his own
needs; to their supply and protection
his means were consecrated.
But now McKeefrey was strangely
interested. Something Of old sympathy
and youthful feeling stirred In his
crusty heart. He was touched by the
thought Of boyish anticipations and
afraid for the disappointments that he
foresaw.- He remembered that once
his own heart had been warm and
hopeful, that he had made effort foI
good and sent out dreams into the
future. There came back to him 6
sense of the bitter and blighting frost
that had chilled and deadened him, and
there sighed in his soul faint hope
that happiness might visit him again
in his effort to bestow it upon others
1t seemed sweet and desirable thing
to him to honor the faith that was
causing Tim to reach out into the
world for a blessing.
SO it was that there were signs OF
strange activity about McKeefrey'f
house and mysterious arrivals at Nc
CAMS house. And when, on Christ
mas morning, the McCanns awoke te
the very liberal response that Santa
Claus had made to their specifications,
Mrs. McCann's pesslmism was retired

1t was Tins first step in science, but
he went good deal farther than that,
Now he can put You into real communi

If you like. But he owes it all to that
change of heart that came to old Mr..
McKeefrey.
AS for the old mamie has never

house and hard shell. Charity has
taken him out into a large and happier
world!

'sYou remember that yesterday morn
ing we gave those shiftless' Chat
ter-Reds the very last nut we
had went on Mrs. Squirrel, putting
her paws in her apron pockets Ia very
bad sign, / assure you; it meant that
something was going to be done, and
done quickly.
Mr.. Squirrel went on stroking his
whiskers. This seemed the only reply
he could muster. He knew the facts
OF the case as well as his wife. Hadn't
he invited the Chatter-Reds in2 Hadn't
he felt sorry for them because they
looked so cold and hungry? Didn't he
know that all fall, when the nuts were
thickest, the Chatter-Reds had frolicked
instead Of getting In their winter sup
ply? Didn't he caution them a hundred
times, and hadn't they been rather
saucy about it? They hadl and yet,
the day before Christmas they looked
so forlorn he couldn't bear it. How
they had lived as long as they had was
something he did not like to think
about. So in they trooped, five of them!
They said very little and their noses
quivered expectantly. The youngest
of them, Charlie Chatter-Red, began to
whimper. They could not stop him.
And at last he said it right out loud.
He said, and the tears rolled down his
little cheeks like marbles spilled out of
a boys pocket, I'm so hungry /
haven't had a thing to eat for two
daysp' And then he buried his head
in his mothers lap and howled. It was
all very sad. Mr.. Squirrel had con-
sultation with his wife. They went In
a corner to talk it over. When you
yourself have just one nut left the day
before Christmas, it takes long time
to decide to give it away. And one Of
the reasons that they had just one nut
left was the fact that for some weeks
past they had been helping these same
shiftless Chatter-R Reds But Mrs. Squir-
rel was kind in spite of her sharp
tongue, and she said that she supposed
It was their Christian duty to help
out unto seventy times sevenI So the
last nut, fine, fat one 1t was too, was
brought forth. Mr.. Chatter-Red almost
bowed himself in two with gratitude
and all the little Chatter-Reds danced
about like Indians. They whirled up
so much dust In Mrs. Squirrels living
room that every one began to sneeze.
At last they went home. And Mr.. and
Mrs. SQUIRREL stood and looked at one
another. But they said nothing at all.
And here it was Christmas and moth
ing in the cupboardl
sAt least we> can be thankful that
we have no children" said Mr.. Squir-
rel. 'aThey won't have to go hungry
on Christmas day."
Mrs. Squirrel had nothing but a
snort in answer to this. Mr.. Squirrel
crossed the room and stood looking cut

no US children there was mystic
: riouS charm about old Mr.. Uplook.
He used to spend a good deal Of his
time in the back part of his shop, turn
ing bits of mahogany into little boats
and telling us stories while he clipped
and polished. He had small person
In his throat whom he called Pedro,
and he would make him grunt out an
sWers to our questions in wonderful
manner. His vest buttons were con-
nected with several insects, and when
we touched them there would come
out now bee, then mosquito. and
once in a while a bug that would
snap off our noses. The buzzing Of
the bee, the piping of the mosquito,
and the dangerous assault Of the snap
bug gave us many thrill and him
much enjoyment.
One Christmas time, being rather
short Of rich relatives and very long
on hope, we conceived the idea Of
drawing upon the fairy resources Of
our good friend, by suggesting but
ton that would connect with the good
genius Of the holidays and bless our
wishes. So we asked Mr.. Uplook If
he thought the first two buttons on his
coat could by any possibility have any
thing to do with the Christmas case.
He said that he would have to go into
his back room, and see about it first.
but when he came out we knew by
his looks that it would be all right.
We wanted to press the buttons sew
eral times, but Mr.. Uplook thought
that once would be enough, and said
that In each case we might whisper
two desires, whispering loud enough
for him to hear, so that he might be
sure we were getting the thing
straight. SO we pressed and whis-
pered in that perfect faith that Il.
Uplook always inspired in us.
We were not surprised on Christmas
morning when things happened just
as we had expected, and kind Mr.. Up
look seemed just like real Santa
Claus as he stood by the roadside
with his camera, taking picture Of
one boy with red-topped, coppersroed
boots, riding on new sled; and Of
another who was trying pair Of
shining skates on the wayside pond
and trying to keep a fur cap In its
place. And we boys were painting
upon our hearts a picture Of this
good friend that has lasted until now.

Christmas Cheer
BY Mary Graham Bonner

to. 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)
CHE was neither young nor old. But
~ life had been pretty rough with her,
taking many whom she so dearly loved,
leaving more and more gaps which
could not be filed.
Yet it was Christmas time and she
must think Of the Christmas presents
she should give and the Christmas let
tiers she must write. How could she
put, cheer into her letters when she
did not feel it herself? Sternly she re-
proved herself for this. She must
feel Christmassy. She simply must.
So, quite by herself, she went to a
big toy shop. There she mingled with
the crowds, heard the children's cries
and shrieks Of delight and surprise,
saw their eager excitement. Her chill
dren were grown up, they had gone
away, some would never come back.
But 1t all brought the wonderful Christ
mas memories back to her. She felt
again the glow and warmth Of Christ
mas cheer. Tears came to her eyes,
but there was happiness In their hot
blur. 1t wasn't the same as ones own,
to go and see happiness as though 1t
were play, but Christmas happiness
was different. 1t touched those who
even stood on the outskirts. Yes, all
unknowing these many stranger chill
dren had given her the echo Of their
laughter and of their delight, and it
was singing little Christmas melody
IN her hearth
