WALLACE and Boykin had

Santa Claus. For some time they
had suspected his identity. Now
they knew! Mother herself had
admitted the truth to them.
Hitherto she would say neither
Eyes" nor mo" when they ques-
toned her; but now when they
persisted in finding out the facts
in the case, she told them-as
gently as she could.
For a while there didn't seem
much use in hanging up stock
ings. 1t was just like a birth
day--nothing but receiving pres
ents and having big dinner.
The fascination, the. delicious an.
ticipation, the wonderment of
Christmas was gone, as far as
those disillusioned children were
concerned.
Then Mother had an inspira-
ton. In her brothers home there
were four children and Santa
Claus had hard work filling all
those stockings. So she borrowed
Virginia, her youngest niece, to
spend the holidays with her.
Then she gave her own chill
dren 81 each and let them go
alone to do the Christmas shop.
ping for their small cousin. Now,
81 will buy a lot Of toys at some
,stores; and those youngsters had
a gorgeous time selecting gifts
for Virginia.

to stay until her small cousin
dropped off to sleep.
1t was IL o'clock when Wallace
and his sister finished playing
Santa Claus to Virginia. And
that was the happiest time of
the whole season for that little
boy and girl-unless you count
the time on Christmas morning
when they watched their small
cousin pull their gifts from her
stocking.
Most children find pleasure in
bringing joy to others younger

panacea for many ms. And 1t is
a wonderful tonic for the soul.
Without realizing it, the think
ing Of someone else crowds out
unpleasant or harmful feelings.
If the thought finds an outlet in
a generous deed, self is forgotten
and there is no room. left in the
mind or heart for complaint.
When your child has disap.
pointment, find some pleasant
way in which he can make some
one else happy. 1t will save ag-
gravation and heartache. And
the child will find comfort and
joy for himself in the service.

islands in the Columbia River.
at the mouth Of the Walla Walla
River, Wash, has been created
by President Coolidge. The res
ervation will be known as the
Columbia River Bird Refuge. 1t

The rocky islets have been
found especially desirable as
breeding grounds and safe retreats

The islands have been for
years the favorite daytime resting
