CHRISTMAS
"T WONDER who they are!" said
old Mr. Mardlfleld.
'He irai standing at the win
dow of the breakfast room,
looking across the sunny street at an
unpretending little cottage.
"Whom do you mean, uncle T" asked
Clara Barton, who expected to be her
granduncle'a heiress.
"Why, those people across the wayl"
"Oh. common folks. I dare say. No
body else would live In that bouse."
Old Mardlfleld came to the breakfast
table. Ue sighed softly as he took
the cup from Clara's Jeweled hand.
"Uncle, dear, you are very silent,"
said Clara.
"I was only thinking, my dear," said
the old gentleman apologetically.
"Only thinking!" Tea. his mind had
gone back years along the dusty track
of time, and he had been mutely pon
dering upon what the result would
have been had he shaped hla course
differently In the days that were gone.
He had had a son once, of whom he
had been proud and fond, and If?
"1 would hare done anything for
him? anything." thought Mardlfleld, !
swallowing his coffee, "If he would
only have been willing to consult my !
feelings a little But when he mar- |
rled that western girl It was like
drawing a gulf between us, and he !
knew It But he's dead now, and even |
on his deathlnsl he was too proud to
send for his old father."
These were the thoughts that were
passing through old Mardltteld's mind
As the old gentleman waa returning i
from a walk later In the cool sunshine
a little fellow hanging over the gate
accosted him eagerly.
"81r, are you Santa ClausT"
"Not that I know of. Why?"
"Yon are like the picture In my j
book." said the twy? "a fat old gentle- j
man. with a long white beard and lot? j

of skates, and I thought If I saw Santa
Clans I'd ask him "
Here a soft voice from tbe window
called "Lionel! Lionel!" and tbe ap
parition slipped down from the gnte
and ran away.
"A cunning little rogue!" thought
Mardlfleld. ??Santa Clans, eh? An old
gentleman with a long white beard?

The 'stars were shining out tiny
points of gold, through the darkness
of the Christmas eve. when Mr. Mardl
field knocked at the door of the little
cream colored cottage.
"Come In!" a gentle voice called, and
Mardlfleld. groping his way through a
semlllgbted hallway, found himself In
the presence of a sweet faced woman.
In a pillowed chair, her fingers busied
In some piece of knitting.
"Madam," said he. bowing courteous
ly. "1 am Santa Clans!"
And then he told her the story of
bow little Lionel had accosted him In
the morning
"Ton are very kind, sir," said tbe
woman tremulously. "We are poor? so
poor. In fact, that tbe barest necessa
lies of life are sometimes beyond onr
reach? and little Lionel's dream of San

not a mere holiday. It represents a

the term.
For wveks before the dawn of Christ

Every bnuw of the many that ahel
ter tbe tlfty million* of the Japanese
empire, however humble '.he abode may

Is placed the chief symbol of the sea

the house or garden three abort piece*
of bamboo tree, cot at an acute angle,
stand tied together as a pedestal from
which rises the ever glorious pine tree.
In shape something like a Christmas
tree, for the young pliw Is the emblem
of a loyalty and life that are ever fresh
and green.
In addition, over tbe door of each
bouse Is set up a lobster attached to
an orange. These are usually th? flfts

Trade At Home
I r is a hard thing to convince some people, who hare acquired the
^ mail order habit, that it is to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thousands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue again*?mail order business
