The Christmas tree is believed to be

the display Of tree decorations, and in

"You 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 "a 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 in? 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 hundred
times, and hadn't they been rather
saucy about it? They had! 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
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
boys pocket, I'm so hungry l
haven't had a thing to eat for two
days." And then he buried his head
In his mothers lap and howled. 1t was
all very sad Mr.. Squirrel had q con-
sultation with his wife. They went in
corner to talk it over. When you
yourself have just one nut left the day
before Christmas, it takes a 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

The
Wishing Buttons
BY CHRISTOPHER C. HAZARD
70, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. }

20, 1922, Western Newspaper Union.)
THO 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 a small person
in his throat whom he called Pedro,
and he would make him grunt out an
sWerS to our questions in a wonderful
manner. His vest buttons were con-
nected with several insects, and when
we touched them there would come
out now bee, then a 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 a 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 Mr..
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 a real Santa
Claus as he stood by the roadside
with his camera, taking a picture of
one boy with red-topped, copper-toed
boots, riding on new sled; and of
another who was trying a 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 picture Of this
good friend that has lasted until now.

they would throw US some nuts. We
don't care to beg, but 1t Is only fall
that they who have so much and are
SO kind-hearted should spare US 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 q
tree with a bit Of suet tied to a string
in his hand. There was a good deal OF

AS soon as the children caught sight

Christmas Cheer

9 HE 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 it 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 60 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 1t
was singing little Christmas melody

Two men were finishing their
Christmas shopping late one
Christmas eve.
Lets call taxicab," said one. 1--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 a 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 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 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, you'll
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 a 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 fol
the ten-cent tip to the small boy hand
ed the waiter a large tip in advance
which made the waiter fawning in hi:
attentions.
"We1l get better SERVICE" he ex
planned, "and then, too, it's Christmas

But the friend who had been re
proved said: You don't think you're
exerting a bad influence by any
chance, do your"
And the boy bought the carnatior
and went home, successful and happy

THE INVISIBLE GIFT

THERE'S a 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 it. 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 it, the Christmas
festival sings of it. We are all
excited by it and about it. 1t
fills the shops with beautiful
things, gathers crowds to buy
them, hangs garlands in the
windows, carols on the air. 1t
makes the church bells ring and
kindles devOutest worship. It is
love that hangs upon the Christ
mas tree. Without the Cross the
Christmas tree had never been.
