XKyHERE there are children the
w Christmas stocking should neve1

XKTHERE there are children the
w Christmas stocking should never
be forgotten. Nothing can take the
place OF it, for nothing else arouses
quite so much speculation and pleas
urable anticipation as what Santa
Claus will put into that homely arr
ticle.
The general distribution of gifts
may well take place after breakfast
is out of the way; but no child can
be expected to wait very long for the
feel Of something old Santa has left.
If MI his gifts are given immediately
on waking, excitement will run high,
and dressing amt breakfast will be
gone through with great difficulty.
Also. 4 considerable quantity of candy
and nuts will have vanished before
the morning meal is served, and with
them will have disappeared all signs
of an appetite.
As means of avoiding these condl"
,ions the Christmas stocking serves
pood purpose. Carefully filled, it will
satisfy thr childs longing for Christ
mas file first thing in the morning"
Wi! give him a taste of Christmas
go,dies without destroying his apps
tire fnr breakfast, and will leave suftt-
Gent expectancy concerning the other
things coming so that he will readily
submit to being properly bathed and
dressed.
An orange for the toe of the stock
ing some especially-desired toy which
will prove of untold interest, some arr
ticIe of dress in which he can parade
around" handful of popcorn, q
small box of animal crackers and a
stick or cane of pure sugar candy
should make stocking sufficiently
bulging TO please any child. All the
food if contains can be consumed
without continual warnings of Don't
eat toc much now or Better save
the rest until breakfast" The toy
and the one other gift will hold the
child's interest until every one is as
senlbie,l for the big distribution, which
need not be hurried.-Margaret Bart
lett in Farm Journal.

The beast doubled up with laughter
again. Ralph thought this an oppor4
tune time to make his getaway, so he
put on his skis and and started down
the mountain. Dangerous? Anything
was better than staying with that
beast.
Ralph seemed to be coming to s
wall. He jumped, landed squarely and
skinned along the SLOW for mile or
more. Looking up Che hadn't had
time to do this before), he beheld In
front of him great castle, covered
with turrets and towers.
''Now, what have l gotten intoT

door and was admitted h -wo queer
looking fairies. q
"Who are you, and who Ives here?.

would come to, daylight.
Re slid down several times, got
badly scratched on branches, but that
didn't bother him in the least. He was
The mountain proved to be quite high
and after an hour or so of climbing
Ralph sat down To rest in the snow.
AS he rested, he took a good look at
what was before him. What was that
up on the top! Why, it looked like a
hut, sure enough-a place where he
could rest, get something to eat and
get warm.
Ralph didn't rest long, he wanted to
get TO the hut. 1t was a queer little
place, he found upon reaching it. It
looked as though puff Of wind would
be enough to blow it over. -
Ralph knocked at the door very
gently for fear of knocking the house
down. The door opened, but Ralph
started back with surprise, for the
object before him had a bulls head
and horns, and a mans body, cloYen
hOOfs and long tail.
"Well, my boy" said the creature,
"what are you here for? Did you
come to help me: l usually have
some boys come about Christmas
time" Ralph gave Shudder. So
this was his beloved Santa Claus, who
looked and talked like this. Why
hadn't someone told him?
"Who are you?" stammered Ralph
getting up his courage. "Are you Santa

The fairies began to laugh.

The fairies began to laugh.
"Now, you're laughing, too"
"Why, this is Santa Clau1' castle
you're in," answered the fairies.
Ralph let out a yell of delight,
throwing lis cap into the air. "Well,
what's all this noise?" demanded a
large, rather rotund, jolly-faced man
who entered the hall.
you're the one came all the way
to see. I wonder if you would be too
busy to take me through your work
shops?"
$40, of course I'm not. Come right
along.
''Yon see, I have my castle divided
into two parts. One side. where they
make toys for girls, and the other side
entirely devoted to boys l suppose
that's where YOU want to gO?"

After they had made a tour of all

''Those wheels fit in the curves of

''Yes, made them to fit that way.

how my runners work. incidentally,
I'll take you through my tunnel, so

"Well, fellows" said Ralph, poised
for action at the top of the hill, I'm
off Here begins my great quest for

Good luck" called the fellows.
He seemed to go on and on at re"
markable speed after he reached the
bottom. The boys stood and watched
him skim over the snow out of sight.
Ralph went on for two or three miles
this way. Then he came to a wooded
strip. His ruddy cheeks glowed with
delight, as he thought of the adven-
lures he might have here.
The farther into the forest he got.
