tive on the grounds to carry off the
prize If possible.
N. w. Harris & Co., Of Chicago
bid a premium of s707 on $4,000
worth of bonds to bear six per cent
interest; as stated in the advertise
ment for bids, all bids were to be
sealed and to be in before IL O'Clock
loon of June 3. After the bids
were opened Harris e company made
a verbal bid Offering a premium of
-four per cent. The legality of the
bid was questioned and therefore
could not be accepted.
S. A. Keene & Co. of Chicago
offered S153,0 900 for the $15O,O00
worth of bonds, providing they run
twenty-five years. AS the bonds
We're only to u twenty years and

informed.

exchange to be at par. All bids
were rejected for the reason that

any offer made was what the bonds
were worth.

HER CHRISTMAS TRIP

The family were going away for
Christmas to their old home in the
beautiful country which they loved so
much. They hadn't gone back at
Christmas time for ever and ever so
long.
They said, at first, they would give
their faithful, wonderful cook a check
and a holiday, and then they asked
her if she would like the Christmas
trip as her Christmas present.
Would she indeed? Just because
she was no longer a child it didn't
mean that she couldn't enjoy as a
child!
She went and she loved it all-even
the over-crowded trains, the hurrying
masses of people in the damned sta
tions-for wasn't it her Christmas
trip?
She, too, was a part Of the great
holiday travel IN. G. Bonner.

A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT

The greater happiness of the Christ
mas season is a direct result of the
greater participation of men and wo
men in the spirit of Christ. For then
weakness has a power over strength !;
and then the laughter in the eyes of
little children seems a better thing
than our own good; and then the tired
routine in the lives of those around us
looks out upon us through enigmatic
eyes, and we understand better, we
pity, we cease to condemn-we would
even ameliorate, we would show that
we see and Understandable so we
offer the dumb gift which mutely tells
what our words could never tell; and
then in our hearts, in our households
in our little world, there is Christmas
Joy and peace-earths highest happi-
ness.-Sister NJ Fides ShepperSon in
Pittsburgh Dispatch.

That Mask Which Grew
or Mr.. PhiIetus' Face

IN HILETUS SOLBMCOLLY could
not understand why the chill
dren did not like him. He gave
them good advice. He patted
them upon their heads. He ex-
pressed the hope that they would be
successful In life as he had been. He
promised them rewards II they would
behave themselves as he wanted them
to. Yet they came to his school un-
willingly and went home from 1t glad
ly. They were respectful, but unsmil-
Ing.
1t was with hope, but not without
difficulty, that a friend persuaded
Philetus to officiate rs Santa Claus at
the Christmas festival and to assume
the traditional garb Of the part Phi
letus did not see much use in such
fanciful doings, but yielded to solicit
tation and appeared upon the occasion
with as much grace as a feeling of
foolishness would allow. His spare
form was now rotund, his sober gar
ments had become gay, and the jolly
mask that had been adjusted to his
long face gave him quite a new ex-
preston.
AS the joy among the children pro-
crossed and the spirit of fun and
frolic mounted high Philetus began
to experience a change of heart. To
his amazement he began having good
time himself and to feel like a real
Saint Nicholas. For this reason, per-
haps, he overexerted himself to such
an extent that his mask fell off and
it was revealed to the surprised audi
ence that it had been contradicting
the face of Mr.. Solemcolly.
This was really the best feature of
the evening, and it proved to have
permanence about it, for, from that
time, the Philetus phiz shortened, and
broadened, and fattened, and colored
up, until it came to look a good deal
like the face of that old fairy who
Is always young and kindly.
SO the mask that fell off left it's
Imprint and stayed on, and Philetus,
able to be merry, became the familiar
friend of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. G..

How Four Old Maids
Have Real Christmas

F~1IHEY were q family Of old maids
N four sisters. But they were
the jolliest, incest old maids
ever knew. always swore It,
and now I know 1t. What do
ECU think they did for Christmas?
DID they have q tree for themselves
and exchange costly presents with
each other, and then eat a turkey with
dressing and pies, alone In their
charming white dining room? Not a
bit OF it. They know what Christmas
was meant for, and they acted on the
knowing. Their friends tell me they
have done it every year; but since I'm
only new acquaintance, compare
lively, I couldn't know that.
They invite in a dozen children
who wouldn't ordinarily have Christ
mas tree at all and give their presents
20 them. And then those twelve, poor
little mites sit down at the table in
the old maids charming white dining
room, and the old maids themselves
serve them with turkey and all the
hx1ngs. And they don't do it for char
ity either. They do it because they
adore children, and making them hap
py is to them a treat. You see, from
their cradles, these four old maid
sisters were blessed with the Christ
mas spirit, spirit that lasts all the
year around when it is genuine.
But why should I call them "old
maids?' That term Is in such disre-
pute? They are four angels! And
knowing that 1 am going to try my
luck, some time when I can get the
courage, and ask one of them, the
one | happen to be in love with, to
have me-" Perhaps If I make the
proposal within the Christmas season
she'll remember she's a Christmas
angel, and take me. Don't laugh at
my audacity. Anything may happen
at Christmas time For Christmas is
a magical time. Even a child can tell
you that.-Ethel Cook Eliot.

%%TYZAT'
That Plum Pudding and
Some Twisted Notices

F~1OUISE loved jokes. She caught
H people with questions and puz-
SUv.yTs, zled them with cOnundrums. So
M she had arranged a program
that centered about the Christ
mas plum pudding. When that came
upon the table each one was to put
in his thumb and pull out a plum in
the shape of a twisted motto; there
they were, all around the sides of the
platter.
Father was first, unfolding his plum
he read off the pit of it and, as If to
moderate the coming merriment, said
'All is not laugh that titters"
Then mother read hers: TITS a
wrong turkey that has no turning"
AS this did not apply to the bird that
had just disappeared, the self-satis-
fed smile Of the cook behind the door
did not come off.
Then Aunt Mary: "a hitch in time
saves mine" This reference TO Bobs
trousers asserted his independence of
suspenders, but caused his relative to
remind him that he was not as need
less of stitches as he thought, upon
which he replied that he could depend
upon that tailor who had advertised
"pants a dollars and a half a leg,
seats free"
Then Susan: eve never miss the
swatter till the flies go by" This was
a fly paper upon a dead subject and
it was filed for future reference.
Bob's plum was also laid on the
table after he had read: "a strolling
boy catches no horse" A sentiment
that he was inclined to think a little
too personal.
Louise had the last plum and de-
clared; "All'S well that ends swell"
Expressing the travellers satisfaction
with terra firma, less terror and more
firmer.
But the pudding was cooling and
that was no joke, so, as the tempera-
ture fell, they fell Christopher G.
