CHRISTMAS AT HOSPITAL
The Spirit of the Gladsome and
Joyous Feast Conveyed Within
the Walls of Carbondale's Splendid
Charity Music and Gifts for the
Sick A Joyous Occasion.
The spirit of the liles-sed riirlstmas
Udp, whioh nil.-t tho world with joy. was
r.dt liy tho pntlontH of KinoiKOiicy hus
liitul yestordiiy, thtmks to the Chris
tian thoiishtfiilnoss ami wai'm-lii'iirted-ucKK
of the Woman's Auxillaiy hoard.
ThroiiRh tho efforts of thoso I'liarity
lisiioiisiupf women th joys of Hip feast
wore shared ly the sick of the hospi
tal whoso ailments out off. In " Brent
lK'asiire, their appreclntioii and en
nyment of the joyous occasion, Music.
11 variety, merry jest, an abundance of
sifts this was the surprise and treat
.vhlch the auxiliary board planned and
offered as a Christmas sift to the un
fortunate sick who are beiiiR cared for
in the Institution. It was a true appn
1 lation of tin- spirit of the day and to-
lay the women who have interested
themselves in this splendid charity are
thnrliiK in the warm-hearted gratitude
l the patients, who were made to feel
that they had a Christmas celebration
worthy of the day.
The exercises look place in the Inrfi-e-l
ward of the hospital, which was
robbed of Its nakedness and made to
"ook particularly cheery. hi every
dile there were reminders of the feast.
There was a profusion of evergreen
and holly twined and strung in Rraee
ful lines. Klpfht or ten American flaSft
drooped gracefully in the corners and
the spots where the green was not em
ployed. The patients in theii snowy
)uds of ivhite could turn their eyes 10
ny corner of the room without rest
.UK them on some pleasing decoration.
At the north end of the room were
two Christmas trees Illuminated and
laden with gifts for the patients, the
nurses and the hospital staff. This
feature was probably the most cheer
ful of the afternoon, for it gladdened
i lie hearts of the patients to be so
generously remembered. All of them
received more than one gift and sev
eral of them hail a half dozen to glory
in. It was most comforting to watch
their faces brighten with gladness us
their names were called and the or
derly laid the remembrance beside
them on the bed. It was also an oc
casion of mirth and merriment, as a
number of the gifts represented Jokes
on tlie physicians and surgeons and
the board of directors.
Mrs. "U. 11. Mulligan of the Woman's
Auxiliary hoard announced the differ
ent number1 of music which made up
a delightful concert. The participants
were the Carbouilale high school or
chestra, quartette composed of Misses
May, Mollltt and Mary Cannon, Thom
as and Patrick KIrkwood; Miss I.ottle
Kilts, planiste; Hubert Oardner. violin,
rfolos were sung by Miss Mollltt, Miss
Cannon and Thomas KIrkwood. There
was 11 duet by W I-UUs and Mr.
gurdner; the quartette sang two selec
tions and the orchestra made the pa
tients feel happy and llghl-heaiteil
'with soveral enlivening ph-ies.
lion. S. H. .loiies, president of the
board of hospital directois, made the
address at the conclusion of the concert
and also distributed tho gifts. Ou both
iiecaslons he was very happy. The
central thought in his talk was thai
the people or the community should
lako inot 0 Interest In the work- of their
hospital. It was their work and he
welcomed tho celebration of the Christ
mas as establishing a precedent. It
made Christmas day the people's day
at the hospital and lif hoped It would
be tho precursor of a closer and warm
er Interest in tho work which waa be
ing done by (lie hospital, a work that
wus truly tho work of the Man uf Naz
areth whoso coining the world wan
loi'mioniopitlnu.
The exorcises canto to a liuppy close

The attondilucQ crowded tho ward.
It' was' most encouingSnt;, the large

How Majoy
Went Sailing
M,nj , IIMeM-vm In tlie ticu'liml li.ilii-lli'.ilrr.
IT was 11 very hot day, The sun
heal, down on the sidewalks and
matin lliein so hot It hurt one'n
feet tight through one's shore to
walk on them. Kven lho grass
felt hot and dry and the trees were so
quiet with never 11 bit of breeze' to
make, the leave itictle, that It did no
good tit all to tty and get cool be
neath them. Marjory had tried every
thing she could think of to kenp cool,
and at last ?olU Into the library and
threw herself flat on Ihn haidwond
floor. The shade?, were alt tlowti: so
the big room looked cool, at any rate,
and she thoughi die was mine com
fortable there than out of doois,
She pulled a linen covered pillow
fiom the couch, tucked It under her
head and stretched out hrr bate pink
feel with a sigh of comfort. It was so
lovely to be barefoot and lmtmmn only
allowed It once In 11 while. As she lay
looking' nt her loesi suddenly she lie
came lnteiested In a picture that hung
low down on the wall right in front of
her. Il was' a picture she had nev-r
noticed much before, though It was a
very pretty one. It was rather long
and narrow. In a white frame, with a
broad white mat, and It showed noth
ing but a stretch 01" blue, blue water,
a blue sky above It and In the middle
a sailboat, with big hi own sails cut
In a mo'-t peculiar way, and two little
brown faced men in blight red caps
looking at her over the nlde. Some
how they looked viry cool and com
fortable, and Majory envied them.
She stopped wiggling her toes and
KMZPit right. Into their merry faces uiitl
It almost seemed to her that one of
them smiled.
"Nonsense," saht Marjory right out
loud. "They couldn't!" Hut Hie next
moment she Jumped so that the cushion
under her head' slid, away across the
floor, for somebody said. "Why not?"
and there were the two little men, nod
ding and laughng at her with all their
might.
"Why not?" repeated the one who
had spoken, first. "Well " began Mar
jory. "Really, you know It isn't just
what I'll expect. There aren't, very
many pictures that can talk, now are
there'.'"
The two little, men laughed. "Why
certainly," they sa.ld. "All pictures
that have people In them can. That is,
the people talk not. the pictures. Of
course you can't expect a painted tree
of a rope to talk any more Chan a real
one. but why shouldn't wo 7 We're
painted from really truly people, you
know, and they could talk."
"Oh. yes, of course," said Marjory.
Somehow she felt thnt things were not
quito explained even yet, but the little
men themselves seemed' so sure they
were right that she could not think of
anything more to sny on the .subject.
So she tried another. She felt, In a
way, that tho little brown faced men
were her guests and she must enter
tain them as she sometimes- did the
grown people who came to see mamma,
and mamma was, not dressed to come
down. It's very warm today, isn't It?"
she .said in her sweetest voice.
The two little men smiled, first at
each otlien- ami then, at her.
"Is it?" sold the one that seemed to
be doing all the talking. Keally, we
hadn't noticed It. You see, when
you're on a. boat you're generally get
ting a breeze especially when the
breeze is painted in. Now you see there
was a breeze painted Into this picture,
so we're always cool."'
"Oh. dear me, how lucky you are,"
sighed Marjory. "1 wish some one
would paint a breeze In around me!"
The two little men laughed again.
"Maybe they will some day." said one.
"You're pretty enough to be painted,
but as Ions as you haven't any now,
don't you want to come and go shines
on ours?"
"Why, of course I do if 1 can!" cried
Marjory, nnd the next moment she was
stepping right over the sidf of tho
quaint little, boat, and her new friends
were making her comfortable under the
shadow of the big' grown sails.
It was cool thete. The breeze that
kept tho sails from drooping swept
pleasantly acrosf the deck; the water
was to blue, the sky so clear, and even
tlie boards of the deck did not feel hot
and prickly an the floor of the porch
had felt when she walked across It not
so very long ago. "It is nice here.lsn't
It?" she said as she leaned back against
the mast with a little sigh of pleasure.
"Where do you goto when you sail?"
The 11 1 1 lo men looked al each other
ti minute. "We don't generally sail nt
all," said one, "except nights', when
you've all gone to bed and wouldn't
miss us out of the picture. But what
do you think, Antonio? There's nobody
around now. Could we take her for
Just a little sail, do you think?" Oh,
do, please," etied Marjory, "Kvery
tiody'n out but mamma and Noroh and
me, and Mainma.'s .-ound asleep and
Norah's sewing on hor new pink dress,
They'll never miss, you a bit. Kven
If any one should come, Norah wouldn't
show them into the library.
".lift as you say," smiled Antonio,
and In another moment the big sail
swung over with n creak, and the boat
started straight for the narrow bit of
while frame Marjory could j-ee ahead.

will effectually do this, only a scinch

Two acquaintances of the writer were
run down and kl'led by the cars In one

which had extended up the euatnchlnn

Marjory sat back agar.st the mast
