HANG UP THE BABY's STOCKING
BY Edgar S. Werner

Hang up the baby's stocking,
Be sure you don't forget,
The dear little dimpled darling
Has never seen Christmas yet.
But I've told her all about it,
And she opened her big, blue eyes,
And I'm sure she understood it
She looked so funny and wise.
Dearl What a tiny stocking!
It doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's
Away from the frost and cold.
But, then, for the baby's Christmas
1t will never do at all;
Why, Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small.
know what we will do for the
baby
I've thought of the very best plan
I'll borrow a stocking of grandma,
The longest that ever 1 can;
And you'll hang it by mine, dear
mother,
Right here in the corner-so;
And write a letter to Santa,
And fasten it on the toe.
Write, This is the baby's stocking
That hangs in the corner here.
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came last year.
But she's just the blessedest baby!
And, now, before you go,
Just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the
toe!"

we should be very careful of our

above all at Christmas time. We do
not want them to copy our faults in
case we are unfortunate enough to
have some, do we?.
In order that our children may
understand that ut is more blessed
to give, than to receive" we should
be happy in our giving. We should
speak very kindly about the people

mothers fault if a little later the
child does not like to give.
Children especially enjoy giving
what they have made with their own
hands, so the wise mother helps
them to make gifts instead of giving
them a great deal of pocket money
to spend, and then, of course, she
shows her appreciation of the spe-
cial gift they have made for her.
Father, too, should learn to take the
children's gifts in the spirit in
which they are offered. If he and
Mother talk these matters over to-

employed for a short time by the
murdered man.
FELTON, folk became curious Mon
day when several relatives whom
Pierre had invited to come from
Philadelphia to visit him reached
the little farm and found him absent.
Morgan told them Pierre had sold
out to him and left for his former
home in Wisconsin, where several
daughters reside.
This was considered queer by the
visitors and they made inquiries in
FELTON, among merchants with whom
Pierre dealt. The latter questioned
Morgan and his answers resulted in
the deputy attorney general being
appraised of the mans absence.
Detective Wharton and State PO-
licemen Powell and Bonofacino were
sent to investigate and then took
Morgan to Dover where he made the
confession.
He told where he buried the body
and accompanied the authorities to
the scene and pointed out the grave.
The body was uncovered and Nor
gan assisted in removing it from the
shallow grave.
Pierre's head was badly battered
and his clothing was soaked with
water which trickled into the grave
from the marshy land in which he
was buried
The names of the relatives who
visited Pierre were not learned.
