Story of a Stocking
That Was So Empty
a ACOB SCRIM was accounted a
prosperous man. Early In life
he had adopted n motto of get-
there-atlveness that hod ap
parently served him. well. He
could survey premises that yielded
good rentals to him, mortgages that
were a first claim upon good farms,
stocks and bonds that were called gilt-
edged. Sitting In his dingy office he
ild not appear to have any very exact
ing business, but his clients found that
there was plenty *f exaction before
they were done with him. U was a
favorite amusement with him during
the Intervals of occupation to go over
his books, gloat over his securities,
and reflnger a stock of gold that he
kept to assure himself of the reality
■at, his power and the possibilities of
b{s life, should he ever ,cw-e to use
them. This glittering ARuslon he
strangely kept In an old stocking, hard
by shother In the massive safe, the
second containing a collection of
gems that he lived to handle without
letting any of them slip through his
fingers.
He was thus amusing himself one
Christmas Eve, all unconscious of the
radioed and radiant hopes and pur
poses that filled the atmosphere out
side and ever surged through his room
In which he sat, und all unable to tune
In with any of them, when he seemed
to see npon the wall n handwriting
and to hoar u voice that Interpreted It
to him, saying: "Oh poor dupo of
falsity! When will you hang up a
stocking emptied by benevolence und
make an Investment In real happiness?
When will you serve love, Hint It may
present you with Ills best gifts? Are
there none who need but ennnot hnve
in tills great city? Are there no hope
ful children who will creep down to
disappointment on Christmas mornlng7
Power (ft light and heat, of truth and
love, of purest happiness Is In these
bnubles that you, handle, but your
heart Is shriveled up Into nothing
ness. You hnvo lost your Income and
must lefty* your principal. Come with
me."
Was it's dream? Who can say? But
they found him there the next morning,
cold witlr-n new coldness and grasping
with a/tptlle hand the full stocking
that was so empty I—Christopher o.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS
3 M A SMALL, villas* •▼•17
Christmas eve the organ!*!
of the little church a»S soma ■
of the girl* and boys of the eholr
go forth and sing carols.
They go to homee where there
are older people, perhaps where
they cannot get out during the
winter time, and they give their
Christmas concert. .
And they sing under the win
dows ol these homes'eo that their
voices sound truly as carols sung
under the starB on the night be
fore Christmas. V
A simple enough- thing to do,
perhaps, but very' lovely. It
brings pleasure to those who
hear the carols and those who
sing them love this Christmas
time festival of their very own.

DESERT HOLLY

Though not profuse enough for gen
eral gathering at Christmas time, and
not as suitable as the regular holly for
wreath-making purposes, the desert
holly (Perezia nana) of the Southwest
la a peculiar little plant with stiff,
smooth, dull bluish-green leiives with
prickly edges, like holly leaves, but
npt so stiff. The plant bears one light
purplish-pink flower, the head about
an Inch long, with purplish bracts.
The plant grows but two or three
Inches high, and looks somewhat like
a little sprig stuck In the sand. An
other plant with blulsh-whita leaves
and erroneously called “desert holly"
Is sometimes used for wreaths on the
Pacific coast.—G. F. Wadsworth.
