The Deaf
Ear That Heard
o. 1922. Western Newspaper Unis
BY chrislopasr G. Hazard

w., 1szz, western newspaper Union.)
M RS. BECOME was not giving any
AVA thing that Christmas. The an.
nouncement OF her limited purposes
had sent a chill through the house
that froze the hopes of several youns
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 insincers,
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 u a and could, upon occasion,
be very deaf In two ears. 1t 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 a multiplier.
Nevertheless, Susy did not despair;
choosing q favorable after dinner time,
she advanced to the attack with a
well prepared Christmas appeal which
was favored with anticipations.
But az soon az the old lady heard
the word Christmas 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 outY' the child was about
to give mp, when she was encouraged
by the beginning of a smile that
seemed to promise to spread all over
Mrs. Begone's c~ountenance. This
hint Of success was reflected In q
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.
II was a costly smile for Mrs. Be-
gone; six very empty stockings asked
for contributions the next evening.
hut I dare say that she was happier In
filling them than she would have been
ii hsr DEAFNESS had not been cured.
She was even happier than the chill
dren, and that Is saying a good dsMl.
She IA 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 1t True happiness, If under
stood. consists alone N daing good"

Human Nature
VS.. the
Christmas Spirit
BY Mary Graham Bonner
va
90, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)

w, go "SStcin ANc"spopcR OuAou.J
xKyE WERE full of the Christmas
w spirit. We were going to be more
kindly, more charitable, more friendly
with the whole world. The Christmas
spirit had penetrated. We could feel
its warm glow. And scatter a glo
rious Christmas In the old homestead
we were on our way back to the city
where lately u work had taken us.
The travel was heavy, of course
and we found ourselves waiting al
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 bee. we
were very hungry.
Finally the line grew shorter. Soon
our turns would come. But ii seemed
not. For those who had gone into the
dining car at last to eat took time
about 1t even though their absence
made the waiting line a shorter one.
At last we were at the head of the
line. 1t 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, II 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. 'Hcw much they lack the
unselfish Christmas spirit. II means
nothing to them! 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.
Ard you would think at this time Of
tia year they'd be a little more
End 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 a table. Two persons had
1t last arisen and at last our turns
bad actually come!
We sat back and luxuriously perused
the menu. Well, we were hungry. We'd
haze a good meail
And we began to order.
".And I'm just going I take my
time about 1t, too" i said. "Just be-
aus people stand there and glare at

to be eating our meal, isn't going to
make me hurry"

membered the Christmas spirit we had

THE FAILING FLASH

THERE was a pattering Of
- feet through the hall and a
small spot Of light approached
the big fireplace. A long and
Dubious stocking was clasped to
a beating heart and an eager
little face was half revealed as
1t turned bedward again In the
faint glimmer. Then a sudden
darkness overwhelmed the small
pilgrim, and, as she lost her 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.

are you doing here?" said the
rescuer. "The 'lectricity fell
