For lis
Old Partner
By HAYDEN CARRUTH
icoc:.,""l"iO
Wo wero proud of that tree wuon
wo got it ready a half-hour lioforo the
exercises were advertised to begin.
It was the flrst Christmas tree tin
camp bad over known.
Everything was going suioothlj
when a man came in loading an lui'
menso mongrel dog of sinister expres
sion. "Gents," ho said, with a mannei
which was a mixture of tho imperti
nent and tho diffident "gents, ar !
you going to do a favor for an old !
man?" I
Why, cortalnly, certainly," replied !
tho minister; "certainly."
"I wouldn't ask it ord'narily," ha
continued, "but I reckoned at this
season of good-will mebby you might
not object"
"Certainly," chirped tho good man
again; "certainly."
"Hobby some of you might know
me Old Man Pluramer. I live over
in Ghost Gulch, betwixt Slnclalrville
and Forty Rod. Might any of you
gents know my old pardner, Caleb
Huff?"
uno man saiu no tnougnt ue uia, ,
and tho dominie started to say "cor- !
-
lily," but checked himself when h
ill i i, 1, .. w,.u i
11 Oda HUk ilia num.
"What I want to do. If it ain't going
too fur," he went on, smilingly, "is to
put a little Christmas gift on your
tree for my old pardner Cale."
Wo all said we'd be dollghted to 1
have him do so, and he went on:
"Cale will bo tickled to death to find
that his old pardner has remembered
him at this-year holerday season. I
He's soft that way, Cale Is. I
"It's the dorg, gents, what I want
to give to my old pardner Cale. Can .
you handle a dorg on your tree for a i
poor old man, gents?"
"Why, certainly, Mr. Plummer," said
tho minister, quickly, "and bo very ,
glad indeed to do so." ;
"Thank you. Parson. That dorg
comes from the heart, that dorg does,
and my old pardner Cale will feel it. i
It ain't the money valuo of a gift what ,
counts, gents, but the heart what's ia
It"
The minister mado the usual semi
humorous remarks and then turned to
begin taking off the presents. The
dog Jumped at his throat. The chain ,
saved the dominie, but tho Jerk on it
was so severo that half the pop-corn
and most of the candles came tumb- 1
ling off tho tree. There were sounds i
of indignation in tho audience. I
Then Harley Brown volunteered to ;
shoot tho creature, at the same time '
producing an implement for the pur
pose. I
At this point we noticed agitation
in an unshaven citizen standing on
tho other side of tho church. Then
tho head of tho man slowly besan to
rise, and wo saw our mistake. When
some five feet of him had becomo
visible above the heads of those seat
ed about him we realized that he had
at flrst been sitting. Tho uplifting
had been performed slowly, and with
slight pauses, and even now we were
not sure that he was all uo; he might
be simply on his knees. Ho -eyed
the scene ipread out hefo. . i for
some time In impressive eih n . then
bowing like a Leaning Tower Pisa,
he said: I
"Ladies and gentlemen. 1 nk
know something about dorr:."
"Pardon me," broke in t' e ster,
springing up, "but are you V . 'alebj
Huff?"
"I may say, sir, with trooth n fact,
it is my dooty to say that 1 n thai
indervidual,"
"Then you aro the raa-i tha
dog is intended for. Your .1 a oa
tho tag," and the mlnUiei" :' d to
tho creature, who was sit": i ? on
his haunches and occasIon&!'y king
his chops in anticipation a9 h oked
at the good man.
"My name? That dorg f met"
cried tho stranger, throwing boty

THE TALE OF A XMAS GIFT
The First Xmas Tree the
Camp Had Ever Known
Becomes a Thine to be
Avoided Mr. Plummer's
Present to His Dear
Friend, Caleb Huff

"That dorg comes to mo in the namo
of friendship. I accept him In tho
tivfrlt In mlilMi tin to trltm ll l,11
ou. 'uto the aisle, and slowly advanced ,
toward tho front. His hand had ad-,
rauced roluctantlr almost to tho dog's !
collar. Tho animal now up llko a
steol spring. Mr. Huff wont back-
nard over a Pw-
"In my opinion," said Harley Brown,
rising, "the only way is to shoot tho
critter, as I said boforo. Wo want
our prosents sometime to-night."
"Young man," replied Mr. Huff,
"don't talk of such violent perccedlngs
at this-ycar timo of poaoo on yearth.
The dorg is mine, and I'll havo tho
law on any man what touches him.
No; we'll got them gifts, precious re
membrances from lovod ones, by mild
ways. If no one will come for'ard
with a shank bone, will somebody
loud mo an umbroll'?" Ho was ao-
commodatcd in this rocpoct, and again
advanced cautiously toward the treo.
The dog stood up and growled. "There,
uow. younK man." he conUnued. "von
cce these things can bo removed eas
i lly with this-ycar umbroll". Como
I for'ard, my young friend, and show
1 that your desires for them there gifts
Is genyooine, and that you aro not
acchooatcd merely by a thirst for tho
blood of a feller-crlttor." Harley
Brown stopped up and took tho um
i brulla, but his efforts met with rather
mcagro reward. Tho dog constantly
1 tugged at his chain and made tho
most frantic efforts to reach tho
throat of Harloy. After ten minutes'
work ho succeeded in hooking off a
i china doll and a meerschaum pipe,
( but as the labels had been lost from
! bOuh articles tho sltuaUon'was not ma-
terially improved,
"Gontlemen," began Caleb, keeping
at a safe distance from the tree, "wo
must try other tactlc3. Wo musfnot
be discouraged. Sot down and remain
calm. I will now propose a plan my
seif. We will ropo off them gifts. 13
there any cow-man hero who knows
how to sling a lariat?"
The stock-growing interests did not
seem to bo represented, probably from
the fact that there was also a Christ
mas entertainment that night down at
South Fork.
"Very well; I can do it myself," re
sumed Caleb. "Somebody please get
me a clothesline." Undo Dan Bannock
departed for the lino, and while he
was gone Mr. Plummer's partner en
I tertalned us with a slight dissertation
! on the dog in literature. When the line
operations, but he soon found that he
stood too near the ceiling for success
ful effort, so ho turned it over to Har
ley Brown. All Harley succeeded in
doing was to get the noose fast around
a top branch, and to shako off a few
parcels, all of which fell within tho
dog zone, and only served to exas
perate him further.
Caleb Huff again offered a sugges
tion: "Let tho party what got tho
line go and fetch a good bamboo flsh
pole." Uncle Dan was back with the
pole so soon that Caleb had scarcely
warmed up on tho probability of dogs
on other planets, much to his disap
pointment. Ho took tco pole, affixed a
shingle nail in tho end, and with an
elaborate flourish turned and began
angling for tho prosents. This plan
proved rather effective, and he con
tinned to operate it.
He had taken off perhaps half of
tho presents and gracefully waved
them to tho pooplo or tho end of the
pole, after presenting each to tho min
ister, twenty feet away, for him to
read tho labol, whon, on starting to
turn buck to tho treo to get another,
and in the midst of an apropos quota
Hon from "the follor." suddenly at a
terrific leap of the baby's pet the
chain snapped. Tho old partner ut
tered one yell of consternation. Then
he projected hlmsulf down tho aisle
head llrst. llko i.n arrow. His velocity
wns no greater than tho occasion de
manded; tho lam") was close behind.
In tho past tho church door had open
ed In, but this time. In graceful recog
nition of the exigencies of tho situa
tion; It opened out. Calob Huff went
on into space, with the dog at his
heels. The minister and Harley
Brown distributed the rest of tho pres
ents. We kept the tree standing In a
back lot for months, hoping to have
the pleasure of lynching Plummer on
It; but bo was never soen In our

BUT THE
International Bible Lesson for
25, MO (Luke 2:6-20).
Deo.
Tho whole world Is celobratlng tho
anniversary of tho birthday of Its j
Redeemer. AH oyes aro turnod to
wards tho Bethlehem mangor. All
knees aro bowing In loving adora
tion at His shrine. Again, unlvorsally,
men aro opening tholr treasures and
presenting unto Him, gifts, "gold,
franklnconse, and myrrh." Gold, for
Christ, tho King; franklneenso, for
Christ, , the Priost; myrrh for
Christ, the Sacrifice Hvory offorlng
mado In love to "ono of these little
ones" Ho regards as mado un
to Himself. And so the woalth ot
tho world is His.
Whon Christ was born a new light
was lunoioa in tno scarry neavens,
a now learnlns was Introduced among
tho sagoa of earth, a now terror en
tered tho palaces of tyrants, a new
meaning was givon to tho oldest
prophecies, a now Joy burst upon 1
tho lovers of truth, a now dis
pensation openod to tho race,
a now song was aung by the heav
enly hosts. Its echoos are la the
sir to-day.
Long Anticipated.
This wondrous birth was long an
ticipated. Virgil the greit Roman poet,
though a hoathoa, causht a glimpse
of a coming one, looming in the dis
tance, solomn-cryod, calm, majestio,
and In his "Polllo," in almost In
spired language sots him forth. But
Isaiah, moved by tho Holy Ghost, 700
years boforo tho ovent, turned his
prophotlc toloscopo down the ages
and announcod His birth.
One of tho most wonderful verses
In the Blblo is tho 6th verse of tha
9th chapter of Isaiah. Hoar it: "For
unto us a Child is born, unto us a
Son is given: and the government
shall bo upon bis shoulder: and his
name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, Tho Mighty God, tho
Everlasting Fathor, the Prlnco of
Peace." The central flsrure of his
tory Is the one to whom Isaiah re
ferred. Wonderful! Wonderful in His
birth! Wondorful in His nature!
Wonderful In Hi3 character! Won
derful In His teachingj! Wonderful
in His sorrows! Wonderful In His
Victories! Wondorful la His des
tiny! Isaiah was right whon he
called Him "Wondorful."
Tho prophot doubtless did not un
derstand tho full meaning of his
words. Astronomers have fore-casi-ed
the existence ot unknown planets
on account of tho perturbations o
tho known heavenly bodies, but havo
died without tho sight. They have
foretold the presence ot
unseen 1
bodies, and it has been left for other
(fenerations with better facilities of
observation to behold the coming of
the starry visitor into the field of
vision. Through 700 years the poo
plo looked and waited, and then ono
day over tho llttlo town of Bethle
hem, the Wondrous Star, led the
wondrous Wise Mon to the Wondrous
Babe. Thero has always been a spec
tral presence In history, an outline
of a figure in tho dark, a shadow be
hind tho curtain, the coming "Won
derful." And on Christmas morning
1900 years ago, "God so loved the
world that He gave his only-begotten
Son, that whosoever belloveth in Him
should not perish but have everlast
ing life."
His Coming Interested Heaven.

so wonderful were tho opposltcs of.
Ills naturo, that Ho unstopped doaf ,
oars, and struck light into blind
oyos, and loosened dumb tongues,
and straightened bent forms, and ex
polled domona and rured lepers, and
ralscd tho dead to life
Ho spoke but one word and tho
mob sent to arrest Him fell on their
facoa as though struck by lightning;
Ho took a handful of bread and bless
ed It and It made a feast for 5,000
men; He trod Gennesorot as though.
It wero a crystal pavomont; He lift
ed tho burden of guilt from tho re
penting sinner with the Immortal
words, "Nolthr do I condemn thee,
go and sin ho more."
This wonderful being demonstrat
ed His power to forgive sin, to heal
disease, to csjt out demons, to de
stroy deth, to win hearts, to over
throw false religions, to expel In
iquity, to open the door of paradlso,
to bestow everlasting life. On Hla
head aro all the frowns, la His hand
are all the scvptors, at His feet
break all tho hallelujahs. His King
dom Is an everlasting kingdom, and
His doralnUn small havo no end.
Isaiah wm right whon he called
Him "wonderful." From the hour In
the bodnnlng whoa "All things wero
made by Him," until the hour when
the "heavens shall be rolled together
like x seroll," and "time shall bo no
more," He Is the Alpha and Omega,
the A b4 the Z of the Universe.
