"MAMMA’S CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
-A Holiday Story by a Twelve-Year-Old
Girl.
A little incident connected with bay
ing Christmas presents happened in an
Eighth avenue store that made quite a
little romance. The store was packed
with people hunting for Christmas gifts.
Two little girls, the eldest barely 9,
■standing outside, were noticed by a lady
who left her carriage to enter the store.
The little girls were poorly dressed. The
little ones wanted to go into the store,
hut seemed afraid to enter. A rush came
and they were caught in the crowd and
whirled into the store. There they ap
peared enraptured with the beautiful
things they saw.
The lady had entirely forgotten her
own errand and kept near the little girls,
finally they began a whispered conver
sation and kept pointing to an article on
a counter; then the oldest reached the
counter and timidly asked the sales
woman the price of a red worsted hood.
The answer was, “Two dqllars and twen
ty-five cents.” The little girl’s counte
nance fell, and opening her hand she
began to count some pennies she held.
The open hand showed the lady just nine
cents.
The little one joined her sister. She
was disappointed, and the two girls
counted their money over and over,
then took another look at the hood and
walked away. The lady made her way
to the counter, and, making a confidant
of the saleswoman, told her she wanted
the little ones to have the hood, for
which she would pay herself, but did
not intend that the girls should know
that it was not their own money that
bought the hood.
The saleswoman became interested at
once, and leaning forward she beckoned
to the girls and said, “How much money
■can you pay for this beautiful red hood?”
The eyes of both brightened, and with
out answering the child put forward all
*he had in the world—her nine pennies.
“What are you going to do with this
hood?’ the saleswoman asked.
“Give it to mamma for her Christ
mas,” exclaimed both at once.
The lady turned away and placed her
handkerchief to her face to hide the
tears that filled her eyes. Another ques
tion made her turn toward the children
again.
“Did you save all this money for
Christmas?”
■“Yes,” answered both.
<£ How long have you been saving this
money?”
This answer was a long time coming
and finally the oldest one replied that
she did not know, but part was Bessie’s
and part her own.
“Well,” said the saleswoman, who re
ceived a knowing nod from the lady,
“since you have been saving so long I’ll
let yon have this hood for the nine
cents.”
The money was handed over, the pack
age done up, and the little ones went
away happy, both wanting to carry the
precious bundle, and both laughing and
crying with delight about the present
for mamma.
The following morning just as the
store was opened a poor woman entered
with a small bundle and two little girls.
After looking around the older girl
pointed to the hood counter and was at
once recognized by the friendly sales
woman. The party walked toward the
counter and the older girl, pointing to
the saleswoman, said, “That's her.”
The little ones were trembling; the
mother looked anxious, and coulij. hard
ly ask, “Did this hood come from here,
miss?”
The saleswoman noticed the bundle,
and answered, “Yes.”
“Well,” said the mother, “that hood
is marked $2.25, and my little girls tell
me they bought it for nine cents. I have
never known them to lie to me, hut I
am sorry to say I could not believe them
this time. I was so afraid to come into
the store and ask, hut I must know the
truth; please tell me about it, for I
haven’t slept a wink all night, though
the little girls said it was a Christmas
present, and I was afraid—I was afraid”
•—the tears now stopped the mother’s
words.
The saleswoman could stand it no
longer and leaning over the counter she
whispered the whole story to the mother.
The oldest girl could not understand
why her mother took her in her arms
and kissed her. Then all three went
home.—Sadie Loraine Handy, 12 years
old, in New York Telegram.
Tlie Prayer Wheel of India.
The prayer wheel consists of a metal
box about as big around as one which
holds boot blacking, and about twice as
deep. Through it a wire is stuck, and
is fastened into a handle a foot long.
Inside the box there is a roll of prayers
written in Thibetan characters, and the
worshiper rattles off prayers at the rate
of 100 a minute by giving the handle a
twist and setting the box to rolling.
Each roll records a prayer. Every
prayer does away with one or more sins
and puts a brick in the pavement which
leads toward heaven.—Frank G. Car
penter’s Letter.
Composite Landscapes.
A suggestive use of photography has
been recently made. Landscape features
are photographed here and there, figures
being posed to fit the theme. The dif
ferent parts are then collected into an
effective group, and the assembled
groups are rephotographed to form one
complete picture. Something of this
kind has been done by artists in cyclo-
ramic painting, the different views be
ing grouped together in sections and
painted on the canvas in connected
groups to form a complete representa
tion of a vast stretch of landscape.—New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Pine and Oak Wedded.
A curiosity can be seen near Tarpon
Springs, Hillsborough county, where a
pine and oak have linked their fortunes
in strange wedlock. They are known
Ear and near as the pine and oak, and
Many an artist has carried away their
counterfeit presentiment.—Sanford Jonr-
