Yet Bob knew thut his sister Kim 'was dreaming of n doll house, little Peter wanted a puppy all his own, und he didn't dure think of his big sis ter Amy and big brother Elmer und his father nnd mother. "Jiy not make 'em something?" was tlie thought thut camo to hint. Hob Jumped up and went homo whis tling through the woods. Under the pine trees he stopped und brushed away the snow. When he got through his pockets were full of dried plno eones, large nnd small, and some pieces Crf birch bark. The .day before Chrlstmns Hob un locked the woodshed door nnd looked t the result of his labors. 4 There was a doll house for little Nan trmdu out of an egg crute, with reul He Saw the Grandest New Sled. wall paper on the walls of the two rooms, bits of carpet on the floors and some cardbourd furniture thnt Bob hnd made, lie hud even tacked little scraps of lace at the windows for curtains. For Amy there was the lovely pic ture from the Sunday newspaper which ehe had admired. Bob had remember ed and had made a frame for It out Of strips of wood, and on the wood be had glued tiny plno cones, pieces of birch bark aud dried moss, and as the picture was a woodland scene you can Imagine how pretty It was. Bob had found a chair rung, which he scraped fend polished with some oil and turpen tine. He put some screweyes In the ends, and Amy gave him a piece of narrow red ribbon t: uue loops and, behold, tlierr u a necktie holder for Elmer I l ot his mother he whittled a reel for her clothes llneCnnd It was e wonderfully hundy thltg, nnd for his father he nought a pipe. It happened this way; lie did some errands for the man who kept the tobacco store In the Village, fjl when the man would have paid 111 tu some money Bob said he'd rather huve u pipe. So now they were bll provided for except little Peter, iiow A'na Boh going to got hold of a real live puppy? "You go over to ray brother's plnco at the foot of Long hill, nnd you tell bini I sent you," said the tobacco man. "Maybe he will let you have a puppy una work it out for him on Saturduys. lit has a paper route." "Ill do It If he will!" cried Bob eagerly. Half un hour later he hurried Into the woodshed with a wriggling Utile puppy under his coat. Of course he had to tell his mother ubout that And how Bob did enjoy the secret, run ning to and fro with milk nnd scraps of meat for the puppy! When Christmas morning, dawned I think Bob Stillweti was the most sur prised boy In Little River. He was so Interested In watching the pleasure of his brothers and sister with the i'lft' he bud made with his own hui.ua ihat he stood smiling, forgetting to look at the tree for his own presents.

CLARISSA MACKI&- VTED WAYNE kicked-his toes ugaliiHt the door. "Say, mother, can't I go skat ing?" he asked. ' "Not todny, son," snld Mrs. Wayne. "It Is Christmas eve, and I want you to go Into the woods nnd get some laurel and evergreens to trim the house. The servants are nil busy with the housework." "Aw, bother I" whined Nod. "Dour me, Neddy, thnt Is not a nice spirit to show at Christmas time," sighed his mother, for she was much worried about her little hoy's Hellish spirit. Ned hnd a beautiful home nnd fond parents, but 'Aova he seemed to love mm his own way above everything else. So when Anal ly Ned, sulkily enough, took a hatchet nnd went toward the woods his moth er did not see thnt ho had his skates hidden un der his thick ovcrcont. When he reach ed the pond he found nil the skaters, had gone home, for who wants to sknte on Christians eve when there aro so many other delightful things to do? Took a Few Turns Around the Pond. So Ned took a few turns around the pond, knowing all the time that he was disobeying his mother nnd feeling very unhappy all the while. By and by he took off his skates and went to the woods to cut somo laurel branches. It was snowing very hnrd now, and he hnd to work fast, because by this time It was growing dark In the woods. ' At last his arms were full, and he stnggered along through the snow trying to find the path, but the snow hnd cover ed It up com pletely. Ned was lost In the woods on Christmas eve I lie began to cry, nnd the tears froze on bla checks. Right be sldo him was a great onk tree, with n hollow trunk. There was a nnrrow open lng In the trunk, nnd poo.r, cold, tired, lost Nod squeezed his way through the open ing and found It snug and warm Inside, with a thick bed of dry leaves. He stop ped up the open A Great Tree With a Hollow Trunk. ing with branches of evergreen, and that kept the wind und snow out. It was very lonesome In the hollow tree. Somewhere an owl wns hooting, nnd again he heard some four-footed animal (perhaps a fox) go pat-patting over the snow. Ho wns not exactly frightened, but It surely was very lone some. Sometimes he slept nnd dreamed of his nice warm home, nnd he thought of his good, kind parents nnd how worried they would bo. and he re solved never again to disobey them. After a while he slept nnd wns nwukened by tho sound of the church bells ring ing In tho glad Christmas tid ings. Then he heard voices calling his name, and he shouted bnck, and presently he wus In his father's urms. When Ned woke up on Christmas morning and found all tho beautiful gifts that Santa Cluus hnd brought to him he registered a vow that when next Chrlstmns came around he Found All the Beautiful Gifts. would be worthy of all the blessings that were showered on him. And his 'parents always snld, "Ned die has never been the same since be spent the night In tho hollow tree." To Make Christmas Wreaths.

"I ought to he able to sell them out side uiy home, mother, dear," she said "That would be real work." Mrs. Wells sighed and smiled. She couldn't very well nITord to buy even tho twenty-live stamps that Amy want ed to sell, for every penny was needed In that littlo household. Mr. Wells had (Hod a ur or two before, and Amy's mother hi'd to sew for a living. She wns very busy, for she was trying to finish some work so as to receive the money In time to buy something for Christmas. "Kiss mo, little daughter," Mrs. Wells suld, with a smile, "and then enrry this dress up to Miss Crnnger on the hill." The Grangers lived in a big house nt the top of the hill. It was quite the largest house In Little River, nnd the threo ladles lived there nlono with two servants. They wero Miss Belle Granger, Miss Lucy nnd MlsstUeth. They were not very young, but they were very kind and sweet. The maid admitted Amy to the front hall, nil warm and glowing from a great tire on tho hearth. "How do you do, Amy?

"Oil, thank you 1" gasped Amy as Bbe took one. "Wnlt a moment nnd Annie will wrap It In a paper napkin so yon can carry It home," said Miss Beth as she pressed a button for tho maid. But when Annie came with the paper nap kin, which was all gay with holly and Christmas bells, Miss Ruth put all the mince tarts In It and gave It to Amy. "Oh, thank you so much!" repeated Amy, thinking how her mother would enjoy the tarts. "Mother sent the dress." "My sister is trying It on," said Miss Beth. "Walt a moment, Amy, nnd I will get the money for you." She had Just disappeared when Miss Lucy Granger came bustling through the hull. "I wonder if you would mail these little packages for me, Amy?" she snld. "I nm so provoked because I have used up my Christmas seals." "Of course I will mall the packages, Miss Lucy," said Amy ; then sue added shyly, "I I huve sonic Christmas seals If you would like them." "You have? How very fortunate!" Amy told her about tho seals and how she hud been unable to sell even ono of them. To her great Joy Miss Lucy bought the whole twenty-flve nnd put tho money In Amy's pocketbook, together with a bright silver quarter for herself. "I hope you will have a very lutppy Chrlstmns, dear," Miss Lucy said. The next day Amy took the Red Cross money to her teacher, nnd Miss Smith told her sho hnd done very well. Early Christmas morning the Gran ger auto car stopped before the Wells door, und tho chann'eur brought In a groat basket for Mrs. Wells. There was a tiew dress for Amy, with a warm cloak fur her mother, besides a cunning doll. The bottom of the basket was filled with good things to cat. "My Christmas week began with tenrs," laughed Amy as bright drops fell on her round cheeks, "and it Is ending In tears too!' "Tears of happiness, darling," said h"r mother. A Resolution.

I",'! H" AGfflgteifc Cftrisfraas vTn Georde IT was Christmas eve at the BnyvIUe, Home for Orphans, and threo little boys sat In tho chilly diuing room looking out nt tho flying flakes of snow. It was after supper, nnd there was a clatter of dishes In the kitchen. "They say," said Jimmy, "there's going to be a big Christmas tree la the parlor tomor dow, and candy and presents and everything, but I'd rather hang up my stocking than have all tha old Christmas trees. You bctcba I would I" "So would It" echoed Bobby nnd George. "That trustee who was hero to day would make! it dandy man for n fntlier or no, uncle," said Bob by. "He's awful rich." "And he aln'l got uny children or nuy folks at all." "I wish he'd Mopt me," re fleeted George, Hurried Across the Snowy Yard. "He patted my head." "He must bo lonesome without any folks," began Bobby. Then he leaned over nnd whispered to his companions. Fifteen minutes later three little boys, the oldest ten nd the youngest six, lei themselves through a basement doot and hurried ncross the snowy yard to the opening In the hedge which led through a patch of woods to tho village. Mr. Bartloy, the trustee, who ones visited the home, lived In a big house with n wonderful garden. Everything was blanketed In snow now, and the big houso wns dark save for n few lighted windows on the lower floor. Soon they stood on the porch peer ing In nt a cozy library, where Mr. Bart ley sat In n Dig chair before (he fire, looking very lonesome. A big dog, a collie, snt beside him with his head on his mnster's knee. Suddenly the dog lifted his head and barked. Mr. Bartley looked to ward the window and saw the three little frightened boy faces peering In. In a Jiffy he had Jumped up, opened the win dow and lifted them In one ut a time. "Good gracious me! What nre you doing out there?" The Dog Lifted HU Head and Barked. he demanded. "Please, sir, we're from the home." snld Bobby. "We knew you lived all alone and we thought maybe you'd like to hire us three kids to spend cnristmaa with you. We don't want nny tree," explained Bobby. "We Just want to hang up our stockings and wnke tip something like home before we came to the 'sylum." Tears were: In the boys' eyes now. Mr. Bartley flourished a handkerchief nnd tried to laugh, but his voice crack ed so queerly. "Now, thnt a funny thing," he de. clared. "I was Just wishing I had three nlco boys to spend Christmas; with me and maybe live with me all tho time." By and by Mr. Bartley called a man servant, and together they took the three little boys up to bed. Then they hung their stockings on the corners of the big four-post bed stead, and in two; minutes the J were sound asleep, while the: servant, Martin, nodded In a chnlt outside In the hall nnd Mr, Bartley, . button ed Into a fur lined overcoat, went striding down the snowy street to . the brightly lighted shops, I don't know who was the hap pier that Christ mas morning, the three little boys with stockings full of treasures or big Mr. Hurt ley, whom they called "Uncle Dick." And the best of it nil wns In Two Minutes They Were Asleep. that Mr. Bartley adopted all three of: the little lads who came to him thnt Christmas eve, and they are growing up into such fine, big boys.

"Nations, as well as Individuals, are accepting tho unquestioned nervous damago of alcohol," says Rr. Robert S. Carroll In his book, "Tho Mastery of Nervousness." Many appalling nnd distorted statements hove been inndo to frighten the drinker from his cups.. But It would cecm thnt when n com mittee appointed by a government to investigate tho harmful effects of al cohol reports thnt tho drinker's life Is ; shortened 25 minutes by every ginss ; of alcoholic liquor, even the reckless would hesitate. Six years are knocked off tho earthly existence of tho over nge drinker. The tippler answers that It Is his own life that lie Is short ruing, and if ho pleases so to live nnd die, ho nlone Is hurt. There Is an other thing to be considered: "Three out of four of tho offspring of average drinkers show Inherited defects, chiefly of the nervous sys tem.

THE WINNING ARGUMENT. "It Is Idle to nrgne from prophecy when we may argue from history," pithily fn!d Sidney Lnnler. What has really happened as the result of dry law Is of more value ns prohibi tion argument thnn all tho prognosti cations of liquor advocates In nnd for territory now wet. In a recent enm palcn Issno the Union Signal gives r-olumn after column to this worth while history argument. First-hand toc'lpvny from 14 dry states (thero I wn no spneo for more) proves that prohibition Is a boon nnd n blessing, loclnlly nnd economically; thnt It In creases man power nnd money pow er. "Tho success argument," says the editor. "Is the winning factor In present-day prohibition enmpnigns. It effectually silences tho llqtiorltos." That argument is abundantly' sup piled by enthusiastic statements con tinually given out by governors, nttor ney generals, mayors, sheriffs, hank ers, by business mnnngors, lnbnr com missioners, nnd prominent residents of prohibition states. DRY BITS. 'T Grammar a la prohibition! Dry: Comparative. Dryer: Superlative. Bouo dry: In 1920 the United States will be In tho superlative con dition. The constitution ' of tho United States gives to ench man tho right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi ness. The liquor Institution sends man to death, slavery nnd the pursuit of wretchedness. St. Paul wrote to Timothy to use a little wine for his stomach's sake. A good many Timothys since then have too eagerly followed this advice and have gone to seed. LIQUOR AND LABOR. A department superintendent of one of the big tire factories in Akron, O, uses CO men In ench shift. They nre making gns masks, miners' respirators, und other vital war material. Thnt de partment Is working only two shifts a day Instead of three, because of the cnrcity of labor. They pay off on Friday. On ,oue SatuYdav only six of the sixty meu In one shift reported for work.

Despite the increase in population the prison quota, Warden Tynan says, has been reduced since prohibition went Into ef fect at the rate of ten a month. Should lids same ratio be maintained the pen itentiary will be emptied In less than six years.

Therefore, the date of this les ion would be sometime In the summer Dr enrly autumn of 420 or 427 B. C, 10 or 18 yenrs following last Sunday's lesson. In the section, vv. 10-14, we see that the gifts for the house of God and tho Levltes, who led In worship, had Jeen neglected. Whenever the house of God nnd Its service of worship Is neglected, we may expect that the Sab 'jtitli day and the worship of God will slso soon full Into contempt. Ezra has dropped out of our history without a hint ns to his end. no mny have re turned to Babylon, seeing thnt his work was completed, or have been railed by the king. Perhaps he brought !)nck Information to Nohemlnh at the Persian court, of tho declension which hnd already started In the city of Jeru iilem. Throe times in this chapter the word "remember" Is emphasized. Perhaps thnt otTers a suggestion ns to our outline. I. "Remember" (v. 14) the Nefllset Bf God's House, (vv. 1-14). The neg lect of God's house grew up out cf tho Incursion of heathenism Into Jewish life. Nehenilnh renllzed thnt tl"e pur ity of the race depended upon ivftsolute separation from the mixed multitude, (v. 8). Nohemlnh nlso confronted the difficulty of having n priest ,(rv. 4, C), who hnd defiled himself nnd ulso dese crated the temple, and Anally the por tion for tho support of the priest nnd the temple worship hnd been withhold, (v. 10). This wns the state of things with which Nohemlnh had to contend. II. "Remember" (v. 12) the 8ab bath Day. (vv. 5-22). Nohemlnh's next nnd most difficult reform wns re garding the fourth commandment. He nt once set about to' learn the fncts; then relates what he saw (v. 15). Tho record also tells' how ho testified against them In thnt they wore selling merchandise on the Suhbnth day. He contended with the nobles thnt they had done evil on the Sahbnth day. (r. 17). He testified ugninst them that the merchants nnd sellers of ware bad lodged nbout and within Jerusalem, (vv. 20, 21). The root of the troulde with Judah was that they forgot God's word and followed the devices and de sires of their own henrts. The Jewish Sabbath In Its outward form on tho exact day of the week Is not binding upon Gentile Christians (Col. 2:16, 17). It wns given to Israel as a people, (Deut. 5:1, 2), as n memorial of their deliverance out of the land of Egypt and the house of bondnge. (Deut. 5:0). The Christian, by the death of Christ, Is made dend to the letter of the lnw of Moses, (Deut. 7:4), but the prin ciple of the Sabbath Is older than evn the law of Moses and Is as binding upon the Christian believer as are tie many other principles which underlie the Mosaic law. In Its exnet form, the seventh day, the observance of tin Snbbnth belongs to the old order and not to tho Christian order. Christ, whn rose from the dend (Rom. 7:4), rose on the first day of the week, and we, as Joined to Christ, are not under ob ligations to the Mosaic law, but to Christ Therefore, the Lord's day, the resurrection day, the first day of the week, (Rev. 1:10; John 21:20; 1:10; 20; Acts 27), Is the day of privilege, not of obligation and Is more sncrefl to us than the Sabbath day of these, Jews. The' Jews In Nehemlah's time, showed their contempt of tho Lord's dny by making It a day of profit, henco this exhortation which we see set forth In this section. This should be a wnrn Ing nnd an exhortntion to us In these flays of n secularized Sabbath. III. "Remember" (v. 29) the Holy Priesthood, (vv. 11-31). In this section we see thnt tho priesthood had even defiled themselves with women, and again this Nohemlnh entered upon a' cleansing process, (vv. .10-31). The use of this word "remember" In verses 14, 22 and .!fl gives strong emphasis to the threo cardinal sins against which No hemlah was battling. IV. Summary: As In Nehemlah's time, so now, Sabbath desecration Is the surest road to national ruin, and a large proportion of our present calain-J Ity can be traced to growing Irrever-, enco for the Lord's day. Jesus swept away tho cobwebs of Sabbath Irrever ence, but did not tear down the house. He kept the principle, but removed tho barnacles with which the Pharisees and Jews hnd encumbered It. Jesus taught that the Sabbath was made for man nnd not man for the Snbbnth, (Mark 2:27, 28), and he set himself as an example in this regard, for he is Lord of that day as well as the other days of the week. The Sabbath is n day of rest nnd If observed, workmen without exception will produce more than Is possible If It Is not observed. Recent confirmation i f this principle can be found In tho report of the British ministry of muni tions. To observe the Snbbnth or any other divinely ordalued prlnclplo tends to prosperity (I Tim. 4:S). The chief value of tho Sabbath, how ever, is In connection with the wor ship of God. Tho feeding of the spir itual nnture; tho rest' which Is to bo dllTorohtlatod from more holiday or pleasure; Its need for adult and child life; Its educational value; Its oppor tunity for Christian service and exul tation of family relations, all show It to have been created to tilt a real need ond to manifest tbo v lsdom and good dcs of God.

Hostess houses for women vis iting the training camps, and emer gency housing for girls who nre tak ing the places of men In Industry, are one of the chief needs. Twenty work ers are already In lOurope, and others are on the way or arriving.

KIDNEY TROUBLE KOT EASILY RECOGNIZED Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected An examining physician for ono of the prominent life insurance companies, in at interview of the subject, tnado the as tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re jected is because kidney trouble is so com mon to the American people, and the lurgti majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming theso conditions. The mild and hculing -inlluence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. We find tliat Swamp-Hoot is strictly sn herbal compound and we would ad vise our readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give it a trial. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten rents to Br. Kilmer & Co., llinghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper. Adv. True to Life. "I don't see how you can rend that trashy novel," declared mother. "Do yon see any merit In It at all?"
