The
Left-Over Doll
By Christopher G. Hazard
I
TWSM
(, 1UZ2, Western Newspaper Union.)
XX7HAT was the left-over doll
" thinking about as she hung on
the topmost twig of the Christmas
tree all alone? Perhaps about all the
other gifts that had been taken off
by loving hands and given to the boys
and girls. Maybe she was wondering
whether- there would bo a Christmas
tree every winter, bearing such nice
fruit In Mich a strange season, If thero
had not been such a great gift from
God as como on Jesus' blrthdny. More
than nil, however, she must have been
asking herself why she was left over,
why nobody wanted her, why the
name thnt wns pinned on her dress
had not been called.
She was as good n doll as ever was
made. Her eyes would open and shut,
she always hnd a
smile upon her
face, ber cheeks
were rosy, she
did not have a
pug nose, and
her dress was
beautiful. When
they put her on
the tree she
thought her name
would be the
very first one.
She could hardly
wait to hear It,
and she won
dered If 'they
would never get
through singing
carols. Now it wns nil over and
she wasn't wanted at all, not by
anjbody, not even by Sally Wiggins,
who hod no doll noj even one. She
wasn't wanted! Oh, It was too bad,
and her eyes tried to wink "out two
tears.
So they put her In the basket with
the other unwanted things, nnd there
the minister found her the next Sun
day. She was Ijing there fast asleep,
with a little carpet sweeper near her,
nnd a box of candy close by, nnd a
looking gloss by her side. At her feet
there was a spruce cone that had
fallen off of the tree, nnd the bit of
paper that had told who she was
meant for, but her eyes were shut
she hnd retired from the world, no
one wanted her.
There she wns still when the min
ister came Into the room the next
Sunday morning. But now her eyes
were wide open, only she wnsn't look
ing nt the presents in the bnsket. She
was awake, but turned awny, and still
trying to squeeze out some teurs be
cause she wns left over. And every
time the minister took her up she
would shut her eyes nnd go to sleep
again, ( unless he held her up pretty
straight, nnd then she seemed to be
sad, and to be dreaming about being
left over, even while she wns awake.
She wasn't nwake even on chil
dren's day until little baby Mower
came in to get ready to be baptized,
but as soon as ho held her up she
opened her eyes, and when she saw
what a pleasnnt little boy he was she
looked pleasant and hopeful again.
Then he put her down, nnd she went
to sleep and slept until Christmas
came again I
With a new Christmas there she wns
npon a tree once more, and they
were singing carols aguln and getting
ready to call off the names. This time
she was qure that somebody would
want her, for she had been patient a
whole year, and she hadn't made any
fuss even though she had felt so sor
ry. Besides, this was the very best
tree they had ever had, and so many
had come to see it It was full of
gifts not like the little tree that the
minister saw In the corner of a house
parlor the mother said, "It's most all
tree and paper, but It's a tree" there
were go-carts, and everything, and an
Indian tomahawk to go with a boy's
warwhoop, and some fringed pants to
be put on with them, and a picture
of a little girl in red, under a big
umbrella, In a snowstorm, and "Ain't
this a nice snowy day?" written under
the picture, and lots of things, and
the left-over doll, looking so friendly
and nice nicer than ever.
Well, they began to call the names,
and almost the first thing somebody
took down the
left-over doll and
gave her to Polly
Rankin 1 Polly
is just the dear
est child I know.
It was Polly who
had said that she
wished she hud
a doll to pet and
bring up right.
I am sure that
Polly will do it.
She will make
tfco left-over doll
feel very much
wanted. She will
teach her to be alwuys cheerful. She
will find her very obedient, and even
nicer than she looks, and she will be
kind to her. I hope that when the left
over doll Is grown up she will be Just
like Polly I

HE
"Santa Claus."
"Santa Cluus" is a corruption which
originated apparently In Flanders or
possibly among the Dutch, of the name
St Nicholas, a saint noted for his
love of children and his boundless
charity. His "day" was perhaps De
cember 8, originally, but since the dis
placement of Old Father Christmas,
the British representation of the
Christmas spirit, he Is celebrated al
most universally as the Christmas
saint .

TUBERCULOSIS CHRISTMAS SEALS
Christmas seals for 1922, of
which the above is a picture,
will be sold here and in the
county this December by
school children. They have
been sold in America for the
pat fourteen years, in which
time the number of deaths from
tuberculosis has been reduced
more than a half. In Missouri
the deaths from tuberculosis
have been reduced from 5118
in 1911 to 3010 in 1921.
DON'T RUN ENGINE
IN CLOSED GARAGE
"Don't warm up your engine in
the garage with all the doors and
windows closed," warns Fred M.
Kosseland, chief of the public
safety division of the National Safe
ty Council, In calling the attention
of motorists to the danger of auto
mobile exhaust gases in unventilat
ed rooms. Although many cases of
fatal carbon monoxide asphyxiation
occur in private garages every fall
and winter, especially in northern
communities, still the hazard does
not receive the attention it de
serves as a menace.
"A running motor in u gurage
10x10x20 feet with doors and win
dows closed will in five minutes pro
duce enough carbon monoxide gas
to induce asphyxiation," says Mr.
Hosselaud. "If tho engine continues
to run, the concentration mounts
steadily toward u rapidly fatal
amount. . If It is necessary to run a
motor for any length of time, take
care to see that there is sufficient
ventilation to 'keep tho air clear.
Th deadly carbon monoxide con
tained in tho exhaust gas creeps up
on ono and does its work without
warning. Tho victim falls insensi
ble before he realizes that anything
is wrong. A slight 'dizziness is tho
only warning. Exercise of a little
forethought on giving the garage
sutllclent ventilation while tho en
gine is running will eliminate tho
danger.
"In case of carbon monoxide as
phyxiation from automobile exhaust
gases, immodlate application of the
prone pressure method of resuscita
tion is immediately and absolutely
necessary. Even a couple of minutes
delay after breathing has stopped
may be fatal, a quarter or half hour
is almost always fatal. The next
step after restoring spontaneous
breathing is to accelerate the elimi-
. nation of carbon monoxide from the
blood. Carbon monoxide unites
with the blood and displaces the
oxygen. Left in the blood it attacks
the brain with disastrous results to
the victim. Extensive experiments
carried on recently by Dr. Yandell
Henderson of Yale University and
Drs. H. W. Haggard and A. L. Prince
showed that the only certain method
of displacing the monoxide was
through the Inhalation of a mixture
of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Most municipal gas companies are
now equipped with the apparatus
for reviving victims of carbon mon
oxide poisoning.
"But the preventative measures
are much more to be desired, than
the use of resuscitation knowledge
in bringing a victim of automobile
exhaust gas back to consciousness,"
says Mr. Rosseland.
A FIENDISH ATTEMPT.
Some party or parties made a
fiendish attempt to wreck the Haytl
Memphis local last Tuesday night
on its north trip from Memphis.
North of Holland it ran into a
pile of ties that had been piled across
the track, and only Providence pre
vented what might have been, and
what was evidently intended to be,
a serious wreck, for tho train was
well loaded with passengers, men,
women nnd children.
To add to the desperation of the
.fiends the train encountered another
pile of ties across tho track near Mi
cola, but being warned und on the
watch, approached the obstruction
with caution.
The parties who did this should
bo run down und prosecuted to the
full extent of the law, for no com
munity Is safe with such Inhuman
brutes at large. The Frisco rail
road, in our opinion, could well af
ford, if necessary, to spond $25,000
to remove such dangers from Its op
eration, for as long as such fiends
have their liberty there will exist
a serious menace to life aud proper
ty that may sometime,' sooner or
later, when leaBt expected, fall with
horrible results.
Uh Herald want ads It yeu
want quick results.
THE WORLD'S RICHEST MAN.
Conspicuous as he has been,
Henry Ford may well expect to con
tinue even more so, for the richest
man in the warld, which is now
widely accorded to Mr. Ford, always
has been notably conspicuous.
Solomon, who died 975 years be
fore the birth of Christ, was the
ablest and wealthiest man of ancient
times. He was more than that, a
writer of extraordinary gifts, who
made a reputation for wisdom never
exceeded before or since. His pri
vate establishment included a
household that required 900 bushels
of Hour, 30 o.en aud 100 sheep each
day. He kept 40,000 horses and a
great number of dromedaries, and
lavished a portion of his vast re
sources on the building of his famous
temple, which was in course of con
struction thirteen years. He is im
mortal in Bible history.
Croesus, king of Lydia, 500 years
after the time of Solomon, was the
next richest man of antiquity. His
wealth came from mines and gold
dust, but he fell before Cyrus of
Persia, who intended to burn him to
death, but commuted his sentence
because of his repetition of what
Solomon had told him when ho was at
tho peak of his fortune "I pro
nounce no man fortunate until his
death" an observation which mado
a profound Impression on the Per
sian monarch, a great soldier, con
queror and philosopher.
Mr. Ford, who may have eclipsed
Mr. Rockefeller in, accumulations,
Is a mechanical and business genius,
but he hns not yet made any reputa
tion in authorship, in war, or in
government. Mr. Rockefeller has
used a portion of his wealth in the
promotion of medical science, and in
notable contributions to educational
institutions. Mr. Ford has been
content with more accumulations so
far. What use, it any, outsidQ of his
great husinoss, he intends to make
of his wealth has not been divulged.
