AS Serena wended her way
through the poorer section of the
city, she had many fine opportun.
derful basket. Such little things
many Of them were. First, the
finding of the LOST bit of paper con
tanning the list of things Patrick
Hoolihan wanted for his mother at
the grocery. Then the new shoes
for the forlorn little girl, with her
big sisters ragged moccassions tied
on her tiny feet.
The sun was fast disappearing be-
hind the high buildings, over where
the factories were, and Serena
knew she must soon go home. As
she passed the entrance to dirty
looking alley, she heard the pitiful
sobbing of little child, standing
there. what is the matter, DEAR"
asked Serena.

mite. Mother said that she would
be home early, with some money to
buy our dinpers, and now it is near

We'll I'll be jiggeredl" said the
boy. Anybody would think you
was fairy"
Sere-~1 did not look like a fairy
at all, but like any other substantial
little earth girl, so she only smiled
at the children in reply. After they
had finished their meal and RECALLED
themselves from bottle of milk
furnished from the mysterious bas-
ket, Serena said to the boy, Go
and get me a large basket"
He did so, borrowing 1t from a
nearby neighbor.
Here are some bananas and pop
corn balls, with few oranges and
little candy to help out" said
Serena. Now hurry up and go
down to the corner where the crowd
is standing and begin business.
Save enough money each night to
buy your fresh stock next morning
and you will soon own fruit

As she disappeared, the boy call
ed after her, who be we anyway"
and where did you find all this
stuff so quick?"
There was no answer, and child
like he accepted the situation and
ran gleefully down the street with
his precious load calling Justify:
Here's your nice ripe bananas.
Here's your fresh popcorn balls"
Serena went gladly toward the
road leading out to the country
thence to the distant forest-to
mother.

pie only knew it"

The Reindeer

Perhaps you nave wondered why
Santa Claus still uses reindeer tC
pull his sleigh when such a versa
tile old gentleman, with all the
mechanics at his command, might
operate an automobile or airplane
understand from conversation
with certain young lady, aged
five, that this year, just as in past
centuries, he drove his fleet rein,
deer on his wonderful delivery.
The fact of the matter is that he
uses them because they thrive In
his country, which, as you and |
both know, is in the far north
Arctic regions. Motors would be
cumbersome and hard to start
where it is so cold. Also because
they are so very swift when
running over the snow. It's feet
are well adapted for snow travel
It's hoofs are divided very high, so
that when the animal places it's
foot on the ground the hoof spreads
wide, and it does not sink deeply
in the snow Hence it can travel
very rapidly. When the reindeer
lifts its foot a swapping sound is
heard, caused by the parts of the
hoof closing together.
1t is certainly an economical
animal for Santa, for it lives on
kind of lichen, which grows under
meath the snow. Very little else is
required to keep Santa's RENDERS
well supplied with food.
During the winter it's coat thick
ems and gets lighter in color. OFTEN
the fur turns as white as the snow
and from a short distance it can
hardly be distinguished from the
white landscape.
These animals are strong md
one harnessed can easily dr. a
sled carrying $50 or 300 pounds, at
a good swift pace.
Probably the Laplanders fol
lowed Santa's example in using
RENDERS as means of transporta-
ton. At any rate they keep great
herds of them and besides using
them to draw sleds, use them to
supply their clothing and food.
So you see the reindeer is one of
the most important animals we
have studied, at least at Christmas
time

The Suns Radiation

Experiments made last summer
in Europe show that the amount OF
radiation received from the sun on
the surface of the earth on a clear
day is greater with a dark blue than
with a light blue sky. In the latter
case there is higher tension of the
water vapor in the air. 1t is sug-
gested that some instrument cap
able of measuring accurately the in
tensity OF the blue of the sky would
be useful in observations on the
variable transmission of the suns
heat through the atmosphere

My Pal

Do you wonde who my pal is?
My pal so strong and fine!
'Tis neither man, nor woman, nor
child,
Yet bosom friend of mine.
'Tis my trusty old dog Rover,
Who is my pal, you see.
He might not be the pal you'd like,
But he is good enough for me.
But" YOU say, "He is dumb, your
dog.
What kind of a pal is he?
I'd want pal who can laugh and
talk,
And be real chum to me-"
All, yes, he's dumb, my pal
SO to tell him my secrets I'm
free,
And he will never betray them
As some have betrayed me.
So I'm satisfied with my pal,
Fora true. true friend is he,
And we love one another dearly,
And that's enough for me.

Helen S Bad Dream

You won't mind giving your bed
TO Aunt Jennie and Uncle Steve to-
night, will you, Helen?" Mrs. Ben
nett asked. I'm sorry, but l just
don't know where else we could
put them. You can sleep up in the
thirdfloor room. You know, there
is real nice bed up there"
1t was the holiday season and all
the Benefits relatives had de-
scended upon them for Christmas.
Even their large house was filled
10 overlooking.
IF you're afraid up there alone,
I'll sleep with YOU Mrs. Bennett
offered.
POOH" scoffed Helen. I'm not
afraid. What's there to be afraid
of? l think it would be fun to
sleep up there alone"
Helen went to bed early. as she
was tired after all the days excite
ment you're sure you're not
afraid?" asked her mother.
mo, of course not" laughed
Helen. There's nothing to be
afraid of"
Later in the evening Mrs. Ben
nett decided to wash out her white

dress. She tip-toed very quietly
| up into the attic to hang it up.
She did not want to disturb Helen,
who was sleeping peacefully in her
new bed.
So that is how it happened that
when Helen awoke in the middle
of the night the first thing she saw
was white, ghost-like figure
swaying back and forth near her
bed. At first she thought she was
going to scream, but when no noise
came she changed her mind. 81
must be dreaming" she thought
Il know there aren't any such
things as ghosts. But what can it
be-" She buried her face in the
bed clothes and tried to go back to
sleep, but she couldn't get that aw-
full white thing out of her mind.
"Of course, it was just a bad
dream" she thought an look
again to prove that it isn't there"
But it was still there! ut can't
be a ghost" she argued with her
self, because there aren't any
ghosts, so it has to be a bad
dream" She buried her head and
decided she wouldn't look any
more.
When again she looked forth
from under the bed covers the sun
was shining brightly and the white
ghost was gone. Her mother was
already ironing it in the kitchen,
but, of course, Helen did not know
that. She still felt a little queer.
Right over there is where it
Stood" she thought. THAT sure
ly was a funny dream. 1t was so
real. Why, l could even feel the
bed clothes and hear the wind rat
Ting the windows"
The next night Helen looked at
her mother timidly. "WilI you
sleep with me tonight, mother%
she asked.
why, Helen, you aren't afraid
are you?" laughed Mrs. Bennett.
ANY one could carry you off and
you would never know it. I was
up there twice last night to hang
up my white dress and to get it, |
and you never knew it"
ooh" Helen sighed in relief.
I'm not afraid, either. / was Just
Joking"

ready to go to sleep, and by nine
thirty they were sound asleep.
They had nice Christmas dreams
all night, and they awakened in the
morning at six o'clock.

to see that their Mother and Father
had decorated the rooms with tin
sci and holly, and holly berries, and
other pretty leaves, and everything
you could think Of There We're

WHO ARE THE REVOLUTION
ISTs7

There are 100000 children working
in the varied industries Of Massa-
chussets.
Many of them are working in di-
rect violation of the laws of the state.
Thousands are working at machines
under conditions which are a menace
to lives and health.
Stockholders are insisting that
earnings be kept up and dividends
not reduced.
Mill agents are always hard put to
keep down wages and prevent reduc-
ton in hours.
Textile and other factory workers
have an endless struggle for living
above the existence lines.
Hunger and want are ever a menace
to the families that send these chill
dren to the factories.
Poverty, and restitution is for them
always just around the corner.
Injustice. oppression, poverty, want
and restitution breeds despair that
ripens into rebellion.

STRIKE BREAKERS.

Every day the papers are full OF
stories of the companies manning
their shops with strike breakers, bet
ter known as scum. Well, the propa-
ganda days are past so far as returns
are concerned. During the war we
were taught to take no notice of the
propaganda of the German agents
with the result that today We know
propaganda when we see it. Why
don't the news writer's tumble to
this and cut 1t out, but there, the boys
who get the news are not responsible
it is the press agencies who furnish
a great deal of the feature stories
Do the interests think that the Ameri.
can people believe there is enough
scum in the country to man the mines
and the railroads? Who are these
strike-breakers? From experience
we find that they are type Of mer
who usually lay around waiting fol
a strike to take place so that they car
be of value to the interests. They
get big pay and do no work. They
are typical buns, without a con
science, type that employers will
not look at in ordinary times. These
fellows are fioaters who never have .
home, but are willing for the sake Of
a few dollars to tear down an homes
mans home. These strike-breakerl
are not welcome in any city thai
thinks much of its civic pride, becaus,
they are not nor never will be par
of the community. Thank God THU
country has very few of these con
scienceless people and for that reason
alone the propaganda of the interest.
will fail.
