speak Of that she seemed to need for
her house, for she had lived in one
place for some time and she had
collected about all the furniture and
bric-a-brac that her house would
hold. There was not much use in
giving her something like candy be-
cause she was on a diet and could
not eat fancy foods. She had more
pictures than she could hang at one
time, and as for books. she had a
taste above best-sellers and what
she could not get from the public
library she could buy for herself.
A LOvable Person
HOWEVER, her friends were de.
ID termined to give her some
thing. for she was a lovable per-
son; so when Christmas time came
her table was piled with gay parcels
from near and far. Some Of the
gifts may have been expensive and
some not. but all we're beautiful.
So she appreciated them, but
because she could have
bought any Of them herself, she
did not appreciate any Of them
quite 80 much ~ she did one
present that W h e n Christmas
morning came could not be
seen ut all. One could not call
II beautiful present to look
1t; indeed II was seen only once.
But the memory Of II fingered
for Q long time.
This lady had cook. She was not
a very good cook when first she
went to work, because she was
young and no one had trained her
and she did not like to be trained
She was suspicious OF any one who
tried to show her how to do
anything. and she bore a grudge
against any one who had more in
this world than she had. But the
lady was patient. and the girl
learned about a home from her;
indeed the most and the best she
learned was not about cooking at
all, as you shall see.

The Invisible Gift


IN the day before Christmas the
~ girl went home early to spend
the day with her family. But before
dark on Christmas day, in the same
hour the kitchen stove went out Of
order and visitors came to spend
the night, and the lady fell i'll. Not
knowing what to do, she called up
the girl. Christmas though II was,
and asked her II she could come
back and help out for few hours
10 get things straight.
So the girl came and made
the stove behave and cooked
meal and took care Of her
friend and made everything as
II should be on that day. When
II was late and time TO go, the
lady offered the girl more than
her usual pay. But the girl would
not take even one coin. She
said 10 her friend: II like TO
do something for love-"
So when the presents lay opened
on the very top Of the pile. visible
to the inward eye alone, were the
hours Of work given because the
giver wanted TO do something for
love.

KOuse GrOIUs Old
Without Water

BERKELEY, Calf. - Up A
pocket mouse which never drank
water or other liquid died here
at the age of six years. That is a
fabulous age for such a mouse
which usually lives only about a
year in its natural desert home.
DR.. Seth B. Benson, who caught
the mouse near San Diego, says it
consumed only small amounts Of
bird seed. Apparently it got all the
water it needed from the dry seed.
He says many desert animals have
body processes which use very
small amounts of water.

Wasteful Timber
Practices Flayed
CONTINUED from flrst nnrel


The biggest cause of this waste
is due to the lack of knowledge on
the part of many farmers as to the
value Of this timber. Mr.. Thomas
says that it is most profitable for
the farmer to harvest his timber
himself with his own labor. If that
is not possible it would be most
wise for the farmer to sell by con-
tract, limiting harvested sizes and
stating the harvesting methods.
Any farmer desiring information
as to the value of his woodlands
and as to. the proper methods to
harvest particular section of tim
Der, can obtain free assistance by
contracting either the State Fores-
try Department, Dover. Delaware,
or the Soil Conservation District of
Kent County.
