Ruth and Her 'Grandfather, by Todd.

Price II.)
For very little men and women is
one of the prettiest books of all the
great list of holiday publications. In a
beautiful dress of pale blue, whit.*
and gold la enveloped a wee bit of a
story in g eat big clear type, with wide
margins, the wonderful story of Ruth
and her "Grandfadder."
Ruth and ber Grandfather were
twins—at least they thought so. They
began the tame day of the year, and
that makes them the same age They
we e quite a! ke: that Is. they dlu not
look alike, but they felt alike and act
ed alike. When Ruth danced, Grand
fadder danced; when Ruth cr ed,
Grandfadder felt like crying. If Ruth
hurt herself. It hurt Grandfadder aiso:
ard when she was glad so was Grand
s [aider.
"They acted just alike, and it was
difficult to tell which was the young
er.
tula was the way It all came about.
"It happened one spring not long
ago, there sailed across the unknown
sea a little craft manned by an angel
crew, and freighted with Immortality.
An it d ew nearer. It was destineu for
a bright and sunny harbor among the
elms.
"Ihe log of that little craft contain
ed this record:
" ‘Arrived in port March 2d, 1893.
When its cargo had passed the quar
antine officials it proved to be a bundle
of sunshine, wrapped in finer stuff
than ordinary mortals.
"It was a little angel, not of the kind
designated in the Good Book, but one
that would one day, in the misty fu
ture, bring chunks of sunshine and
love to the hearts of some, now imma
ture, Lo d of Creation.
"On the samo day Grandfadder be
gan; therefore, as they were the same
age, they must be twine.”
The story goes on to tell of ail the
adventures of the two angels, and
ends with an account of a wonderful
sleigh ride with Santa Claus.

The Fairy Folk of Blue Hill, by Lily
F. Weeeelbceft (Horton. LC. Page
A Co. Price 11)
Fairy etoriee must always have an
Inrompn'nble charm, til their own, for
young people, even If the atorlee nre
very old Indeed, and have been read
over and over again, when they nre
perfectly new, but composed of the
Mine fascinating element* that made
the old stories so pleasing they are ab- 1
i aolutely Invaluable
A morn thoroughly satlsfa-tory fairy i
story than that, which tells of the in
habitants of Blue Hill It would be lm-1
possible to Imagine In It t-e glams
wage war with the gnome*; the black
beetle obey* the order* of (he blue
dragon fly, and the serpent sits a the
| feet of Judge Ow l to learn of the Law
l of the Woods. There l» a beautiful
fairy prince who I* stolen f otn hla
home, and numberless kindly elves
who shower Innumerable blessings
upon the mortals they honor with their
favor. Wares, the rover's daughter,
i ha* some rema’ksble adventures with
all those strange people, and with the
I inhabitants of the “Lily Pond," the
i raermaldn and other water-loving crea
j tures. and have some useful lessons
from the Immortals.
The story Is told delightfully In
clean, simple, forceful English, which
now and then breaks Into verse with
a jingle in It tmeb a* child en best
love. The stirring interest docs not
abate for on» Instant, but rather In
creases as t„c plot is woven In deeier
and deeper, and the happenings In the
land o* the Afterglow gmw more com
plicated. There is not a pa'agra *h ■
that will fail to please, not a sen-;
tenee that will not hold Ihe grateful!
attention. Altogether It i» an ideal
story told In the ideal, pleasantly flow
ing. musically ringing style so
rbarming when the words art* read
aloud. And It is safe to say that no
Cnrtetmas publication for young peo
ple will outrival It In popularity.
The volume Is most attractively
bound in pale tan and gold, and is
richly Illustrated with sixty-six draw
ings by well known artists.

Washington, Dec. 10.—The officers of
the pay department of the army says
that .Major Muhlenberg, the paymas
ter who Is engaged in paying off the
Fourth Virg.nia regiment of volun
teers, is entirely innocent of blame for j
any delay In paying off .he men who j
have chosen to burn him in effigy, as t
reported, ’j ue regiment was ordered I
to be mustered out on the tenth and
the pay 6:r>artment was prepared to j
do its share so that no de;ay migut :
follow. At the last moment, however, j
the aceouutng officers of ihe I nlted j
States treasury found nearly all of the
men tn the regiment were mere or
less indebted to the government, and
under the law and regulations this in
debtedness must be settled In full be
fore the mus-er out end final payment, ;
This discovery necessitated the mak
ing up of new pay rolls and delay in
