For what? | Opportunity for kindness. i 1t is perhaps fifteen years since I re- | ceived a Christmas present. I'm: an | old bachelor, and nobody remembers me. Yet that doesn’t make me glum | and grouchy at Christmas—no, sirree. | I’'m not particularly fond of children. Maybe if 1 were I would have mar- ried and raised a few of my own. Still, I don’t dislike the little ones, and ev- ery year I run across a lot of boys and girls who have no Santa Claus of their s own—little orphan fellows and God's ! poor. Well. when Christmas comes along 1 remember these children. I'm their Santa Claus in a small way. Last Christmas 1 spent $9 and made nearly forty children happy. [I've got a ten dollar bill laid up to spend in the same way this Christmas. and I'll bet anybody another ten that the old | bachelor will get as much joy out of spending that *“X™ as all the little ones combined. UNGLE SAM'S CHRISTMAS.

" Then swift through forty.seven states, And territories three or four, He scooted, leaving sleds and skates And folderols at every door. SWIFT THROUGH FOR- TY-SEVEN STATES. O’Conner.

Did you That is the surest way to save. You can start one with a dollar and you will -be surprised how loud that dollar will ery for.another to keep it com- pany, so that the two may work for ou.

Abundant Christ, “Hal Up to "98 or so," Said Uncle Sam, “my work was done With this, but now I fear—ho, ho}— My task is scarcely yet begun}” t So off he sailed across the sweep Of salty waters, mile on mile, And gladdened every chick asleep In Potto Rico’s placid isle.

Banknotes appear in much the same form throughout the world and have always done so except in China, where the earliest note was made of canvas, some six centuries before the Christian era. It was more like a tablecloth than a banknote, its length being about two meters, or six feet six inch- es. This form of note was not very convenient when large sums were con- eerned, so later ‘the note_was printed' on parchment, and all other forms of money were suppressed. One emperor issued notes representing more than three thousand millions. But $he mon- €y was .never popular, and gradually the notes were retired. Charlotte Cushman's Warning. One icy night Charlotte Cushman and Lawrence Barrett came out of the the- ater together.” The steps were danger- ously sh”pely“aud it was with difficul: ty that they kept their feet at all. “As they totteringly descended the great actress said te her companion quite in her Lady Macbeth manner: “Take a good grip on my arm, Lawrence, and if 1 slip hold on like grim death. But if you slip in the name of henven let go!” i Bad Manners.
