Four trnvi-U'i's who were snow bound In a western pitsM ngi-r trnin on Christ tunn eve Kpcrdily lieenme ac quainted with eiicli other, ntul nt about the stove Ht the end of the enr to "talk it over." One of the men was ft drummer, another a cowboy, 1 lie third a big cattle man, and the hist the minister who tells 1 lie story. They linally fell into conversation with a poor woninn and her two children, the only remaining jinssen who had tried to maintain herself by Hewing Kinee her husband's death, was giving up the unequal struggle and going home to live with "grand ma." The little Ihnwidbare children, cays the Youth's Companion, had been promised 11 joyous Christmas there, and when they found that the block ade would prevent their getting farther, for the present, they cried bitterly until sleep quieted them. Just before they dropped off the drummer remarked: "Say, parson, we've got to give these children some Christmas." "That's what!" said the cowboy. "I'm agreed," added the cattleman. The children were told to hang up their stockings. "We ain't got none," quavered the little girl, "'eeptin' those we've got on, and ma says it's too cold to take 'em oir." "I've got two pairs of new woolen socks," said the cattleman, eagerly. "I ain't never wore 'em, and you're welcome to 'em." The children clapped their hands, but their faces fell when the elder remarked: "But Santa Claus will know they're not our stockings. He'll put in all the things for you." "Lord love you!" roared the burly cattleman. "lie won't bring me nothin'. One of us'll sit up, anyhow,'' .iud tell him it's for you." Then the children knelt down on the floor of the car beside their im provised beds. Instinctively the hands of the men went to their heads, and at the first words of "Now I lay me," hats were off. The cowboy stood twirling his hnt, and looking at the little kneeling .Igures. The cattleman's vision seemed dimmed, while is the eyes of the traveling man shone a distant iook a look across snow-i'illcd prai ries to a warmly-lighted home. The children were soon asleep. , Then arose the question of presents. "It don't seem to me I've got any thing to give 'em," said the cowboy, mournfully, "unless the little kid might like my spurs. I'd give my ?uq to the little girl, though on gen eral principles I don't like to give up a gun." "Never mind, boys," said the drum mer, "you come along with me to the baggage cur." So off they trooped. He opened !iin trunks, and spread before them such an array of trash and trinkets .is took nway their breath. "There," said he, "just pick out the Iest things, and I'll donate the lot!" ".No, you don't!" said the cowboy. "I'm goin' to buy what I want and ay for it, too. or else there ain't .join to be no Christmas round here." "That's my judgment, too." said the cattleman, and the minister agreed. So they snt down to their task of election. They spent hours over it. "n breathless interest, and when their jifts were ready there , arose the tuestion of a Christmas tree. It had topped snowing, and tramping out nto the moonlit, night, they cut iown a great piece of sage-brush. The mother adorned it with tinsel mper, and the gifts were prettily lisposed. Christmas dawned for two if the happiest children under the jin, and a happy mother, too, for inside he big plush album selected for her, he cattleman had slipped a hundred lollar bill. oi.n-i" snini:ii nut ivrvi vs. 'hrlslma like It used to Ik-!

Tlmnwh, Would llarillr Concnt to the Abolition, of t lirlwl nm. It is- the latter day fashion to talk (somewhat cynically oi Christ maa and Its celebration. We are told that the ancient custom of exchanging Christ man remembrance among friends has become a matter of calculation and vulgar display, that people nowa day! spent) more than they can afford in buying Christmas gifts, and give them grudgingly and expect in return present, of at least on equal money value. Even the Christmas dinner, with its plum puddings and mince pies', is fair game for the present day humorist, lie gloats over the dyspep sia and indigestion which ensue, and paints the day which should be the happy climax of the year nsa mourn ful M-n.-nn made memorable by empty pocket book, blasted expectations' and pepsin. Many peoplehvve perhaps unconsciously caught 1he cynical spirit of the hour, and in condemning the abuses-connected w ith the celebra tion of Christmas, have apparently lost fight of the spiHt which still vivifies the greatest of Christum holidays-. J in t men talk more lightly than they feel, sns the Chicago Tribune, and it is not likely that the chiefest of Hie cynics- would willingly consent, to the abolition of Christmas. He would miss- the glow -of kindly feeling which, in spite of all that he and hi fellows may say, still warms the heart of the world when the holidays come round, l'erhaps he is? still of an age when "go ing home for Christmas" menns so much. At least, he ha not forgotten the annual meeting of all the members of a perhaps scattered family at the old homestead, l'erhaps he has a homestead and children of his own. In that case it will be hard for him to remain a cynic. No man can play Santa Claus for a brood of his own without confessing that, aside from any religious significance, Christmas brings too much innocent happiness to be ever forgotten or neglected. So far as- the abuses- of the day ore concerned, each man may correct them for himself. And after all is said and done it is likely that they ore not so widespread or so serious- ns some people s-eem to imagine. Certainly there are thousands of people who give and receive gifts on Christ mais day with no thought beyond that of the kindly pleasure which is found in both. There are many families who do not spend more than they can well afford to spend in making the day memorable, and if n little self-sacrifice be involved now and then, a man must be heartless-to condemn it. Not every little boy eats- more mince pie than is good for him, and a great many thou sand children get the only opportunity Ihey have in the year to eat their fill of that and other delectable dishes. WHAT HE FORGOT. The Toot of the U hlalle or the Woes of the Commuter Durlnai the Holiday Season. The commuter snt in the 1rain ut most buried from sight under his load of Christmas presents. There was a great drum and the sled and the red wagon for Willie and the wax doll and the doll house und the doll buggy for Susie. There was a great mysterious package for Mrs. Commuter, und there were u half dozen other packages and parcels for various friends und relatives. The commuter with ull his weight of Christmas joys did not seem to be happy, lie sat glaring savagely nround the ear as if seeking to find something that was not there. "Hello, Hilly," said a neighbor com muter. "Got your Christmas things, I see." "Yes," said Mr. Commuter. "All but" "All but what?" The commuter again stared wildly nround the ear. "1 don't know," he said. "I've got nil but one thing und 1 cannot for the life of me reinem bev what it was. There's that pink string on my little linger. That was the red wagon. (Jot that. The blue string, that's l he wax doll. Got that. The white string, that's the doll buggy. That "1. & S.' on my cuff. That's drum and sli'd. Got that. The 'l'V That's the furs for my wife. Got that.

Con found it, it was something about tars." "Well, here's our station," said neighbor commuter. "You can't get it. now. 'there's the whistle." The locomotive gave a long, mourn ful toot.

Prr-nrhrd by the Ciennlne l'n-cl(1h-" nf n Utile llrl-lt IrloVn tilrl In Her I.cMer to Snnta l ino. When we are prone to think thot Christmns has degenerated into a date for the payment of obligations ns regards gifts, it is pleasant to en counter genuine unsellishiicss, writes Katherine L. Smith, in Youth's Com panion. A true incident of this kind joeeurred last year In a large western city. The day before Christmas tha clerk of u large hotel, while sorting over tiie mail, came upon a letter ad dressed to"Mr.S;inta Claus, Hotel." As no such gentleman had registered there, the clerk showed the letter to two or three of the guests, und they decided to open it. It proved to be from n littlp girl, who signed merely her given name; she had added, however, the street nnd number, which were in one of the poorer imrtrf of the city. What most impresed the renders was the fact that although the child hud asked .Santa Claus for many things, "u doll for Susie, a dress foi mamma and a dug for Tuiiiinie" not one thing in the long list was to be for herself. Two of the business men who hnd rend the letter determined to seek jut the little, unselfish being, and see how she was situated. They found in a humble home which lacked many of the comforts of life a poor bed ridden little girl who had written to Santa Claus with the supreme faith of childhood, and asked for gifts, not for herself, but for those she loved. The visitors, touched by the child's pathos, consulted a physician, and ascertained that with proper treat ment .he could be cured. She was sent to n hospital; unci in that city now there is a well child who can thank not only the generosity of others, but her own sweet nature for her new strength and happiness. THE CnOIR-BOYS' CHRISTMAS. Ilrllnhtf ill Concert Sometime- (ilvrn by Them in the the lira I lit lea of Kuropc. Penn 1'nrrar, writing in the Quiver of "The Great Social Festival," says: I know of more than one cathedral city in which at Christmas time the little choir boys often boys who come from very humble homes give n delightful concert, during which they net with hearty fun some very Iright and humorous scenes. They tuke u real interest in the special music of the services nnd anthems nnd carols of the season, and they are Invited to spend an evening of genial amusement nt the deanery and in the houses of some of the kindly canons. Here they enter joy ously into all the time honored fes tivities. In the dim light of some old vaulted roonii or corridor the great bowl of the snapdrngon sheds its blue lustre., while, with shrieks of laughter, the boys snatch out the burning raisins. Then they hunt for the little presents in the large bron pie, nnd carefully put them in corn ers till the games ure over, when they curry them home to their par ents; or they have a fishing rod, and each ill turn throws the line over a curtain behind which someone is con cealed, who fastens on the line tin appropriate gift fijr each boy in turn. Then follows the Christmas supper, with its (laming plum pudding, end less crackers, and unrestrained mirth. The evening usually ends ufur sup per with one or two enrols, and "Auld I.nng Syne" sung in the most correct and traditional fashion; after which the boy go back to their homes in high glee, and with the memory of an unusually pleasant evening to make the sacred season more und more dear to them.

They are of the opinion that he thought he could nenlhcr the I'uliiier; but, ns In other similar accidents, the calcula tion was erroneous. The Crary crashed into the bow of the Palmer. The cut was deep, and it was seen Instantly that there was no hope for either ves sel. Most of the small boats were smashed and some of the men killed by the collision, but others of both crews by quick work launched the long boat of the Talnier, into which clam bered the captains of both vessels and thirteen others. There was not a moment for storing find or water In the boat, and the r-iwcrs had propelled it only n short -(stance from the schooners when the t'.ilmcr went down. Three minutes later ihe Crary disappeared. Without food and water, drenched to the skin, spray freezing to their gar ments been use of the bitter cold, the fifteen survivors underwent sufferings indescribable.

The idea is to put on the market a make ot oleo not treated in any way to change the coloring, but shall be only a trifle lighter than the coloring of butter. The scarcity of butter, which has been produced by the large consump tion of milk, has acted as a spur upon the activity of the oleo manufacturers. We sell everything iu men's wear, Ben Giddiug. Geo.
