Spot's Friend
By ELDON SPEAKE
Copyright, 1913, by American Press Asso
ciation. EAR Mr. Santa, I don't know you.
And maybe It's just as well.
For, beln's you never done nothln'
for me,
I ain't quite so 'frald to tell
What It Is that I'd like to have you do
Just as quickly as ever you can.
And maybo some day I can pay you back
If I ever Brow up to a man.
A dog catcher camo here last week and
took
My puppy away somewhere,
And I am so lame that I can't go look
And get him away from there.
And even if I could go where he's at
I haven't no dollar to pay,
And if you will kindly advance me that
I'll try and return It some day.
-S3: -" ' -rr;x
SPOT THAT'S HIS NAME."
You know, my papa he went and died
And left just my mamma and me
And Spot that's his name and we cried
and cried,
For we missed him a lot, we three.
And mamma she works, and we got along',
And Spot ho stayed homo with me
And never went out, for I'm not very
strong,
And I have to have some one, you see.
The dog man that took him away he said
He'd keep him ten days in the pound,
And alter that time poor Spot'll be dead
And three days from now Spot'll ba
drowned.
So please, Mr. Santa, If you can spare
A dollar to set Spot free,
1'iease taico it ana give to the man up
tnere
And. send homo my puppy to me.
And please, Mr. Santa, If you haven't got
wo dollar to spend that way,
i wisn tnat at least you would go sea
Spot
And tell him wo'Il meet somo day.
And if you don't mind that ho's not very
clean,
And if there's nobody to see,
I wish you'd just klnda he'll know what
you mean
Just give him a pat for me.
HOW TO SPEND CHRISTMAS.
Forget Yourself For the Day and Try
to Make Others Happy,
. 1 DAY off, a few remembrances
A from relatives and friends and
f a good dinner is that all thai
ly you are going to make it an
occasion for more than usual re
joicing this year, a real old fash
ioned Christmas. Surely you aro
going to be more liberal In spirit
than over before and scatter mer
riment on all sides. Have you
been a little selflsh, have you de
voted so much time to enjoying
yourself that you have forgotten
other folks?
Those you have forgotten aro
good folks, aren't they, the best
folks in the world? And you aro
Just going to show them how ap
preciative you are. You don't
like this modern way of turning
dear old Christmas into an occa
sion for trading and exchanging
gifts. You are going to see all
the friends you can on that day
and shako hands with as many;
pat them on the back and tell
them how glad you are to bo with
them. And to those you cannot
see you aro going to write cheery,
warm hearted letters and toll
them you want to hear from
them oftenor. Isn't that how you
feel about the greatest of all
birthdays?
PLUM PUDDING AND MINCE
PIE CHRISTMAS NECESSARIES
Plum pudding and mlhee pie are mi
nor but necessary accompaniments of
Christmas day, und strangely enough
tho former was long ago accepted as
typical of tho riches and spices brought
hy tho threo wise men to tho child in
the manger, whllo tho Christmas pio
was held in abhorrence by all members
of strict puritanical bodies, who bo
Moved: All plums the prophets' sons deny,
And spice broths are too hot;
