man With the tin whistle was thinking
about Rawlings, his dog at home, and
I'm convinced it put something into
his tune that was irresistible. For let
me tell you In two minutes who
should come running down, the steps
in front of him but a young lady with
the pinkest cheeks and the laughing
est eyes he had ever seen. She was
smiling at him as though she had
known him all her life. -.

ways make me want to skip my feet.
You can't think, how nice it is to hear
it this miserable night Thank youl"
And the little cup had the surprising
mouthful OF quarter.
There's supper for me and Ravel-
ings," thought the man with the tin
whistle, as he tipped his hat.
And before he could decide whether
it would be. hot dogs or soup, some
body else was smiling at him. This
time it was a quiet man with gray
hair
81 always look for you when I come
down the stairs,' said the man. "and
like to hear those rolliclling little
tunes you play. 1t cheers man up

tossed in half dollar! The little tin
cup ratified Importantly and gave every
indication Of being ready for anything
after this.
On went the frolicking melody. On
came the pennies. The man with the
tin whistle almost forgot how cold his
feet were and that the rain had sue
ceeded in making his stockings very
wet and wretched. 1t really must have
been the tune, for everybody had a
coin and bit of greeting. SO he
played and played and played. He
thought his luck would change if he
changed the tune, and he very nearly
blew the breath out of him, keeping
the notes dancing about in that dismal
place. Rawlings and he were going to
have the finest supper. in all Christen-

some threw in Cimes, and an occasion

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine,
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy il
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need OF it
A prominent druggist says, "Take fol
example Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF DR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri
Aary troubles and neutralizes the uric acie
which causes rheumatism.

AVA thing that Christmas. The an
nouncement of her limited purposes
had sent chill through the house
that froze the hopes of several young
people. A shower of one-cent cards
registering good wishes that wer

The outlook was not promising.
Besides, Mrs. Begone was very deaf
In one ear 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 al
adder. when she had concluded not tc

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 as soon as 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 out?' the child was about
to give up, when she was encouraged
by the beginning of smile that
seemed to promise to spread all over
Mrs. Begone's countenance. This
hint of success was reflected in a
broader smile upon the child's face

1t was a costly smile for Mrs. Be-
gone; six very empty stockings asked
for contributions the next evening,
but dare say that she was happier in
filling them than she would have been
if her deafness had not been cured.
She was even happier than the chill
dren, and that is saying a good deal.
She was so happy that she changed

Human Nature
VS.. the
Christmas Spirit

70, 1922, Western Newspaper Union)
XK7E WE'RE 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 glO-
rious Christmas in the old homestead
we were on our way back to the city
where lately our work had taken us.
The travel was heavy, Of course,
and we found ourselves waiting at
the end of q 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 because we
were very hungry.
Finally the line grew shorter. Soon
our turns would come. But it seemed
not. For those who had gone into the
dining car at last to eat took time
about it even though their absence
made the waiting line shorter one.
At last we were at the head of the
line. 1t had been long process to
work up to this point and we smiled
at one another.
"OnIy 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, it appeared. When they ap-
preached the end of their meal and we
almost bounded to the nearly-vacam
table we discovered they were taking
their time over their coffee. -.~-
"How selfish people are" we said to
each other. "How much they lack the
nothing to them! They know there Is
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.
And you would think at this time of
the year they'd be little more
thoughtful
And 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 table. Two persons had
at last arisen and at last our turns
had actually come!
We sat back and luXuriOusly perused
the menu. Well, we were hungry. We'd
have a good meal!
And we began to order.
"And I'm just going to take my
time about it, too," I said. "Just be-
cause people stand there and glare at
us, as though we almost had no right
to be eating our meal, isn't going to
make me hurry"

1t is difficult to tell what to give a
young man for Christmas. If you can
do nice sewing, a silk shirt would
prove most attractive gift, provided
that your mother sanctions so eXpen,

would be most acceptable to the aver

Under most circumstances it would
not be in good taste for you to give
the young man by whom you are EN-
