A Christmas Story.
Papa, please come here and sit
down for a little while. 1 want to
climb upon your lap and tell you
something. Well, here lam Rob
ert, what is it you wan’t to tell,’me.
W ell, papa, to day poor little .Jam
ie Gray came to school barefoot
and he had on patched clothes
and Tom Brown just laughed and
made fun of him following him
around pointing his finger at him
until the poor little fellow ran off
and sat down behind a big tree
and cried and cried. 1 was so
sorry for him 1 went and sat down
beside him, put my arm around
him and told him not to cry any
more, so it is most Christmas and
maybe old Santa would bring him
same new clothes if he would be:
good, you know his father died
last year and he has not had any
clothes since. I told him that my
mamma said that Gad loved little
raged boys just as well as he did.
dressed up boys, he quit crying
and said he loved little boys like
me, that never made fun of other
little boys clothes. Now paoa, 1
want to ask you if I can give him
one suit of my clothes, as 1 am
growing so fast I will soon out,
grow them and 1 have a pair of
nice shoes that uncle George gave
me, ttiey are most too small for me
now, and sister can give little An
nie a cloak, a hood and a pair cf
her shoes.
The school boys say, that old
Santa is too poor this year to give'
things away. Now papa, can’t
you and the other men give old
Santa one dollar apiece, so he can
buy nice presents for good boys
and girls? Now papa, let mamma
make a nice bundle out of mine
and sister’s things and we will
watch for Santa and tell him to
leave them in Mrs. Gray’s porch.
Alright my son, lam glad you
are thinking of the needy ones
around, you now, run along and
tell mamma about it, so she can
get ti.e thing ready, and 1 will go
to the store and tell Mr. Smith to
start Santa put a sack of flour and
some sugar, apples, candy and
nuts on a wheelbarrow, and tell
him to come by here and get your
bundles, when he stopped for Rob
ert’s bundles, they could hardly
pack them all on, but it was not
far to Mrs. Gray’s. Santa made
some noise putting the things on
the porch, and two sets of little
eyes peeped out and saw what
Santa was doing. They ran to
mamma. Oh! mamma, do come
and look what is on the porch, I
do believe Santa has come, but we
are afraid to open the door and
ask him in, his face is red, his hair
so long and white, but he had al
ready gone. You should have
seen those happy children as they
untied bundle after bundle with
many exclamations, of how nice of
Santa to bring all these things!
And they went to bed as happy as
if they had never worn any patch
ed clothes. And the other chil
dren were happy because they had
made some one else happy at
Christmas time while the angels
were singing, peace on earth, good
will to men. It is more blessed to
give than to recieve. Try giving
and see for yourself.

ARE UNSTRUNG
Guile’s Pepto-Mangan
Euiids Lip Vigor
arid Strength
There are times when men and
women cannot help losing strength.
They try to do too much or they
lose sleep or do not eat jenough
food that nourishes. Blood be
comes sluggish because poisons
clog it. Faces grow pale and pas
ty looking. It is not long b fore
nerves get unstrung.
The best way to start a change
for the better is to' take a course
of Glide’s Pepto-Mangan. It builds
the blood. The weakness from a
lack of red ceils in the blood is
overcome. Gude’s Pipto-Mangan
sends a fresh supply of red cells
streaming* through the blood.
Good blood, pure and free from
poisons starts building vigor and
strength. Sleep is better, appetite
keener, so that the bo.lv becomes
properly nourished. Druggists
nave Gude’s Pepto-Mangan in both
i quid and tablet form. The name
“Gude’s Pepto-Mangan is on the
package.—Advt.
