roomS) Bobby is six years old,
and his mother is thirty but she
looks much older, because she has
been working and worrying for
three years. The mother sews for
a living and she gets just enough
money to buy food. Bobby has
been looking out of the window
watching people carrying their
Christmas packages and looking
at the little boys with their paint
ed sleds going on the big hill. 1t
Is about five days until Christmas
and no chance Of Bobby getting
a new sled or clothes, but Bobby
prays for the things he would
like to have and for his daddy in
France. Mrs. Wilson listens to
him with tears in her eyes, then
she prays for her husband to re-
turn safe and sound.
One evening when Bobby was
looking out Of the window he saw
tall pale-faced man with a uni
form on coming toward the house.
He called his mother and when
she saw the man she rushed to the
door and embraced him. 1t was
Mr.. Wilson. Late that night she
told him how Bobby and she had
prayed, and then he told her of
his long Imprisonment, and how
he had lost his memory and after
hard thinking, it had returned to
him, and he had reported at head
quarters and they had given him
a ticket home and his money that
he had not gotten while he was
in the German prison.
Mrs. Wilson had received the
most precious Christmas present
she had ever received, and Bobby
got clothes and all he had prayed
for. She stopped sewing and
Bobby no longer watched the boys
sliding. He went sliding the day
after Christmas.

Boobies Christmas.
(By Chester Ballard

When the United States first
declared war on Germany they
had only sent the young men over
there, but after one year of war
they started taking older men.
In one home a man of thirty was
called TO go TO France; he left a
small boy by the name of Bobby,
and his wife. Bobby was about
three years old when his father
went away, and his mother was
about twenty-eight. 1t was a hard
parting, but she said nothing UNI
til he was gone and then she
started crying. Bobby could not
make out why his mother was
crying, but he tried TO comfort
her as best he could.
When Robert Wilson got over
there he was put into the ranks
right away; he soon got the title
of lieutenant.
One day when the Germans
were bombarding the Americans
pretty hard and the Americans
could not find the German lines
with the artillery, Lieutenant Will
son got orders 70 spy out the POI
sition of the Germans. Lieuten-
ant Wilson thought it was neces-
sary for such a trip and started
out for a rocky hill that was near
the German lines and had gotten
about two-thirds of the way up
the hill when he was surrounded
by a squad of Germans. They all
had their guns pointed at him SO
he put up his hands while one
German came and took all of his
arms. He was taken to the Ger
man prison, where he stayed foI
about six months, then he got
the fever and when he got wei
he had lost his memory.
Just before the war was over
the Americans had moved ahead
until they had come to the prison
They freed the prisoners, but
Lieutenant Wilson had lost his
memory and could not tell his
name.
In the meantime the wife and
child lived together in America
Some months before they had re.
ceived a message saying that
Lieutenant Wilson had been one
of the missing and it was be-
lieved that he had deserted. CAT
the present time they are in poor
lly lighted and poorly heated

little boys and girls. And will
he come here" asked Eagle Feath-
er eagerly, Perhaps" said the
missionary.
The missionary was a young
man who had left his church in
the east to come and try TO con-
vert the Indians TO the Christmas
faith.
Little Eagle Feathers was the
son of the chief. When little
Eagle Feathers came home he told
his father all that the missionary
had told him. Then he asked his
father if he might have a Xmas
tree and have it all trimmed up
as the little white children have.
The chief grunted and said Per
haps." The next day while Eagle
Feather and some of his play
mates were playing, they heard
the jingle of sleigh bells. Il Won
der what it can be-, they said.
Pretty soon they saw coming over
the prairie a sleigh pulled by
mules. The team went up to the
missionary's tent and stopped.
Some men then carried in some
large bundles and packages, then
they turned their team away
again and went toward civiliza-
ton. In the evening the mis-
sionary came over to see Eagle
Feathers father. They talked a
while and then Eagle Feathers
father said yes. That night be-
fore Eagle Feather went to bed
he put his two little moccasins
by the fire. Then he went TO
bed. For a while he could not go
10 sleep because he kept wonder
ing if the Christ child would put
anything in his little moccasins.
At last he went TO sleep and
dreamed about the Christ child
and what he would give him.
Late in the night the missionary
came to Eagle Feathers wigwam.
He carried with him a beautiful
Christmas tree and a large bag of
toys. He placed one toy in each
moccasin and trimmed the Xmas
tree; then he put trimmings all
over the wigwam and made it
look very beautiful Then the
missionary went away because he
was going to give presents to
many other children too.
Eagle Feathers awaked very
early and got out of the big fur
he was wrapped in. He walked
over to his moccasins; then he
gave a cry Of joy that awoke the
whole village. The missionary
also smiled as he heard Eagle
Feathers shouting, THE Christ
child did not forget me-" Eagle
Feathers father only smiled and
said, ugh, ugh" for he knew
who brought the presents.

A Christmas Story.

In one of the homes for child
rem in New York, was a girl nam
ed Nellie. She had been there
since she was a very little child.
She was about eight years old
now. There were many other
girls there also. Many rich people
would come there and take some
little child to live with them.
Nellie was very lonesome be-
cause one of her best friends was
taken away. Nobody seemed to
care for her; the matron would
scold her for every little thing
she did; she had to help the ma
tron take care of the other little
children and had very little time
to play. One morning when she
was running on an errand, she
saw a toy-shop filled with toys,
because it would soon be Christ
mas. She saw children who had
just come from school, were talk
ing to each other and telling
what the Christ child would bring
them. They were most all rich
children and wanted a great deal.
Nellie quickly ran away so the
children could not see the tears
in her eyes. She was crying be-
cause she thought the Christ
child would not bring her any
thing, because when she asked
the matron, (who was a strict
woman) if she would get any
thing, she angrily said perhaps it
would be switches. All day she
was thinking about it. That
night when Nellie was asleep, a
stranger came to the matron;
(this woman was beautiful and
tall and wore beautiful clothes)
She said that she was hunting
for her child which she had lost
many years, ago. She said that
she had left the child with a
maid while she was in Europe.
One day when the maid had the
child in the park she disappeared
when the maid was talking to
friend; but they could not find
her nowhere. The matron said
that an old man had found the
child in some bushes in the park
and brought the child here.
One Christmas morning when
/ Nellie awoke she did not hurry
down stairs to see if there were
any presents for her, for she said
to herself there were none, but
to her surprise there was every
thing a girl could wish for, was
there for her.
When she was wondering who
had brought these things, she
saw a beautiful lady sitting near
a window looking at her. Nellie
at first thought she was an angel.
The lady quickly ran to Nellie
and took here in her arms and
said she was her mother. She
told Nellie how they had hunted
for her for many years. She told
her to get ready and go home
with her. But first she went and
told her best friend who was
taken away by a kind lady, she
told her the good news. They
went to live in a beautiful house
and for many Christmas's after
that Nellie sent many toys to the
other Childrens' Home.

as the result of the Staying last Satur-
day night of Thomas Rowland and the
woundtng of his granddaughter, Edith
Golfer, by negro on lonely hillside.
The negro escaped and the police have
no tangible clues as to his identity.
Separating into small squads, the
vigilance committee, which is said to
have numbered more than 200 men
visited all the negro families and the
several negro workers camps in Stowe
township and quietly issued the warn
ing for each negro to depart. Police
estimate the number of negro residents
of the township at between 400 and
600.
After completing their self-appoint-

thorities, the latter said. Police say
that they were aware of what the COM
mittee was doing, but did not interfere
as long as there was no violence The
negroes received the order passivefy,
and soon after the word began to
spread they deserted the streets.
