U Just the man to All the place, nnd
the man we want. I have talked with

doeu it, aud ihat lite business need

I'm afraid that unless we can persuade

STOLE A PRESENT FOR MOTHER.
Cash. Boy Richard Wagner Wanted to
Make Her Happy.
In a Barge room cm tho top floor ot
the Gerry society's building, Richard
Wagner, 13 years old, slept uneasily
last night. He was in sad trouble, and
even the fact that he -was In a mcer
place than the one in whldh he had to
stay the night before—he was detained
at the Thirteenth, street police station
on Saturday nlgtet—did not comfort
hlin. Where he wanted to be was with
his mother and his brothers and sis
ters, in their two-room home at 414
Eatft Ninth street.
The boy—(he is small for hte age—was
employed In one of the big retail stores
on Broadway. He was a “cash/* and he
got $2 every Saturday night for having
worked from 8 in the morning until 1 6
in the evening every day sinco the
Sunday before. .
His mother is poor, and even Rich
ard’s little earnings were of gneat as
sistance to her. Hie knew this, and
Saturday nights he would take the
two-dolTar bill or the two one-dollar
bills handed tx> him at the store, run
frame as faat as ho could, and give the
money to her.
He never had any money to spend
for anything. He never knew what it
was 'to have even a penny that he
could spfcnd.
As Christmas came nearer he tried
to think of some way by which he could
earn a little extra money, f*> that he
could get a present of son»s sort for
the mother who worked so hard for the
other children, and who did all she
could to make the home comfortable
and happy.
Ho was awakened kite one night and
had seon her still at worit mendlns
clothes. His eyes left her phtlenf, tired
face and went to the old clock, ticking
away In the corner, and he saw that it
was 3 o'clock in the morning. Then he
made a resolve. Ho would find some way
to get a present for his mother when
Christmas came, to show her how much
he loved her, and ho remembered vaguely
that there had not been any Christmas In
their homo since the father died. Finally
be went to sleep again.
After that night ho thought and plan
ned, and yet could do nothing. The same
knowledge of tho futility of trying to
make something out of nothing that
comes to grown-up folks assailed him as
ho ran here and there in tho big-store.
All around him were pretty things, which
other boys, dressed better than he was,
bought and paid for and still had money
left.
Late Saturday afternoon he saw a boy
buy a pocketbook and heard him say
that he was going to give it to his moth
er. It was one of those pretty things,
with silver all around the edges, and a
tiny silver watch in one corner. And then
Rlohard thought how much his mother
would like one Just like that. He didn’t
realize that a pocketbook was the last
thing »he would need. He looked at the
array of pocketbooks and edged nearer
and'nearer to them. When he thought
nobody was looking he reached forward
and took one.
But some one was looking. The super
intendent of the store stood near him and
the act. Policeman McCollough of
the Broadway squad was called and he
took Richard to the West Thirtieth street
station. On the way the boy pulled out
of his pocket two rumpled 31 bills. He
was crying and begged the policeman to
take the money, his wages, over to his
mother, a3 sho needed It. But the law
does not take heed of little boys who have
stoleh and who want to send money to
their mothers, and tho two bills were lock
ed up in tho desk of the sergeant iof the
police station.—New York Times.
THE CHRISTMAS-OARD IN ENG
LAND.
The season of official festivity is com
ing upon us. and is c.isting its custom
ary shadows before; bur while i& in
conveniences are yet tn /the shadow
stage, there may be time to plead for
a merciful moderation of one of-/the
most oonsplcuous of them. The Christ-
mas cards which are beginning to fill
the ^hop-windows breathe benevolence
in every variety of tone, 'from the re
ligious to the comic,.'but the feelings
which they inspire are, no say the least,
rather mixed. We may pass over with
out >much pity the groans of the pout-
office and its hackneyed appeals to ithe
forbearance of the publtc. The post-
office exists only for the convenleeo of
the community, ftnd if tin* ^immunity
chooses to amuse itself nt a particular
season of the year by sending some
thousands of cards by letter, it is the
business of the postotllee to make the
needless arrangements for the occasion.
It Is perfectly weX Known when this
pressure may be expected, and Us ap
proximate duration can be easUy es
timated. Clearly, therefore, the dtffi-
cuMy should be met,-not by Ignoble ap
peals to the public, but by temporary
additions to the postal staff.
We could contemplate the woes of
the postoffice with absolute unconcern;
but, unhappily, they are bv no m^ans
tho only sufferers from this strange
custom. It te a real convenience to
business men to And their correspon
dence Interrupted »»y the flool of cards
which chokes the mailbags through the
Christmas season, and even ti\ peoph* of
leisure it Is an annoyance. Moreover,
in this oane .the actual nr.noy.iTce is
aggravated by n feeling of sentimental
injury* H /the Ghrteftnas card wore an
honest tribute of regard or admiration,
we might be content to \oIvnte It a*
a wcClcneanlng nuisance; out It Is felt
at best to.be a rhr^adbear ccp.VAnt.*on,
fiitd It l soften little better tShan an
impudent fraud. It frequently tarves
as a cheap_und unworthy substitute
for the Turkey, the Stilton, the berrel
of oysters, or even the check, in which
the "b^nlthter benovotenoe of former
days found expression at Christmas
time. It comes upon us in the specious
guise of a letter; but In r h’s resnect
tt tihaTOn oil the reprehrrtetolo fwv'U-
llartfes of the whited sepulchre. The
mm woman may cherish a fine scorn
for social frivolities: the old •woman,
however, (If she happens to be a young
one) is not cast In the name heroic
mould, and grievous is her disappoint
ment when the stiff envelope dis-
gorceis a simpering Christmas card.
Instead of, ns she had only hoped, "a
bar."
Even Cram ftn artistic point of view
the Christmas esrd te not free from re
proach. since the - Inauguration of the
artist in Its search for the beautiful
has somewhat unduly neglected the ap
propriate. The 'traditional retain, tn a
snowstorm Is more or lew In keeping
with the associations of the season,
and he Js still *to be tfound among
Christmas cards, but in steadily de
creasing numbers. Hte place is being
taken by summer seas, winding rivers,
spring lawns, and other similar sugges
tions of the past and the future which
tend to make the average Briton pro
foundly discontented with the immedi
ate present.—London World.
