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. MRS. S. L. Lofton. MONEY to LOAN Immediate funds on improved farms. Low est rates. Five, seven or ten years.

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. WANTED -A MAN! We want a man who can give all or part of hit time, right in this locality, to pleasant, dignified sales work which will be well paid for. The man who takes up this work will be his own boss. He will not be atked to invert any money, and he has a fine chance to build up for himself a real business. Many men In towns similar to this one tie making $25 a week from an hour or two spare time a day. Others who rive more time make SSO a week and up. This is no “get rich quick" proposition. But it is an unusual chance to get into a perfectly legitimate line of business, rep resenting a million dollar concern sell ing made-to-order men's clothing, shoes, shirts, neckwear and other furnishings. This is a chance that will attract “live wires.” We don’t want the other kind of man. We want only one men in thio locality. In your answer tell us all about yourself.
