ENQUIRER - SON COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, IS^u. "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- MAVERICK NATIONAL BASK BOSTON, MASS. CAPITAL.
