CO Santa Glaus And the Big Stocking "H"TOLLY had a small bed closo to VL that In which her father and JJ. mother slept, and, although she was nearly always asleep In It by 0 o'clock, the light from a street lamp which slyly slipped In at a curtained wlDdow could have told you that upon this particular night she was wide awake long after 11 o'clock and that her brown eyes had been open ever since tho lights in tho room had been put out. She lay very still, however, because she had something to do k which, although she was good and truthful, for some rea AWAKE AT MGnT. son she did not wish her parents to know. Just after the little clock on the mantel had struck 12 Polly rose half way In bed and listened. She could hear her father and mother breathing, and a mouse was gnawing somewhere near the dressing case. She was afraid of tho mouse, but eho was too much In earnest to let even a mouse stop her. So she thrust her hand softly under tho pillow and pulled forth what, had the light been turned up and had you been In the room, you would have seen at once was a large black stocking filled with a number of things which bulged It out in the funniest way. With this in her hand" 6he climbed carefully out of bed and glided across the carpeted floor like a weo ghost which had forgotten and stayed out too late. The bedroom opened with folding doors into a sitting room, at one end of which was a mantel, where on all the Christmas eves that roily could remember her stocking and her mother's had been hung. Polly had many times asked 'her father to hang his stocking there, too, but he spJd that the leg of his stocking was too small to hold tho large presents be wanted, and, besides, it was onlychil dren like her mamma who hung, up tholr stockings for Santa Claus, not grown reoplo like himself. Polly felt her way to this mantel and leaned the big black stocking against its side. She turned and ran back and climb ed Into her bed. The mouse was still. To tell the truth, it was far more timid than Polly and had heard ber first rOLLT'ri FATHER FINDS THE BTOCTUNCI noiseless footfall and was crouched in the bureau drawer, fearing the worst. In a few moments Polly was asleep, and the ray of the street lamp fell across her quiet little hand. roily slept on Christmas morning later than any other child in the great city, and when her father, who had risen beforo she had awakened, passed the Christmas mantel he saw the big black stocking where she had left it As he had helped to bang up the other stockings Ihe night before this one seemed so strange to him that he look ed into its contents. The very first thing he found was a letter: Dear Santa Claus This la llttl Tolly. Last Crlamas and Crlsmaa before you hav glvven me bo meny things and I hav never glvven you enylhlng. Take these dollya and blocks and picher books for your lit tie girl I like them but you can hav them I want too glv you a kiss sum time how are your rain dears good by with mery Crlsmaa and harpy New Tear from your dear lltel Polly. Pleas exkews mlstaiks from lltel Polly lov to al. Polly's father took the big black stocking with all the toys which it contained and hid it where Polly will never find it, there to keep until Santa Claus comes to claim It and the dar ling letter. When Polly awoke and ran to the Christmas mantel in her flannel night dress be was there to watch, and when he saw that the first glance of ber dear brown eyes was for a big black stocking which was gone he put his arms around her and hugged her. very tight and said "Merry Christmas, lit tle Tolly." so earnestly that she fan cied he was sad. She put her face close to his and stroked bis check with her hand, and then ber mother came, and altogether they had a merry morning with, the gifts which Santa Claus had brought But Polly said never a word about the big black stocking. That was a. secret between ber and Santa Claus. W1I IT WW Dickens' Christmas From Works of Yulcriie Author Wlr:e Centenary Ccmes In February. An angel, speaking to a group of 6hepherdn in a field; some travelers. with eyes uplifted, following a st.ir a baby in a manger. Happy, hnppy Christmas that can win us back to the delusion of nr childish days; that can recall to the ol I man pleasures of his youth; that r;in transport the sailor and the traveler thousands of miles away, back to n own fireside nnd his quiet home. 05 v. After dlRnrr Caleb sung the sor about the sparkling bowl. As I'm n living man. hoping to keep so for it year or two. be suug it through. t n A merry Christmas and a happy Now York to the old man, whatever he i He wouldu't take It from me, but he may have It nevertheless. But my song I troll out for Christmas BtOUt, The hearty, the true and the bold. A bumper I drain and. with might and main. Give three cheers for this Chrlstmns old We'll usher him In with a merry din That shall gladden his Joyous heart. And we'll keep him up while there's bite or sup, And In fellowship good we'll part. We're to be together all the Christ mas long and have the merriest time in all the world. Flo heard them give each other merry Christmas as they parted at crossroads and byways. Yo ho, my boys! No more work to night Christmas eve, Dick! Christ mas, Ebenezer! Let's have the shut ters up! Christmas was at hand In nil his bluff nnd hearty honesty. It was the season of hospitality, merriment aud open heartedness. The old year was preparing, like an nncient philosopher to call his friends around hiui and. amid the sound of easting aud lev elry, to pass gently nnd calmly nwtiy The tree was planted in the miV' of n great round table nnd t'w. high above their beads !l v . llantly lighted by n multitude m tapers and everywhere Fp;irk'm . glittered with bright objects t. .

The jraits are playing, and they break my childish sleep What Images do I associate with the Christmas. music as I see tbem set forth on the Christmas tree? And numerous indeed are the hearts to which Christmas brings a brief sea son of happiness and enjoyment. How many old recollections and how many dormant sympathies does Christ mas time awaken! A Jolly Christmas Game. For a rousing Christmas game pro vide n number of large, rosy apples and as many trifling presents. Each boy or girl in turn is given a broad bladed knife, with which he or she must scop up one piece of fruit. Bal ancing the apple on the knife blade, he must walk rapidly around the room. All those who succeed in carrying the fruit over the prescribed course are allowed to select one of the prizes as a reward, or a peanut may be carried on the knife blade if the stage man ager prefers. Christmas Long Ago. Come sing a hale heigh-ho For the Christmas long ago When the old log cabin homed us From the night of blinding snow, And the rarest Joy held reign, And the chimney roared amain. With the firelight like a beacon Through the frosty wlndowpane. Ah, the revel and the din From without and from within. The blend of distant slelghbclls With the pllnklng violin. The muffled shrieks and cries. Then the glowing cheeks and eyes, The driving storms of greetings, Custs of kisses and surprise! Sing In again the mirth Of the circle round the hearth. With the rustic Slndbad telling us The strangest things on earth, And the minstrel bard we knew. With his "Love-l-er bo true," Likewise his "Young Ilouse-k'yarpenter" And "LoT-ed Henry" tool And, forgetting ne'er a thing, Lift a gladder voice and sing Of the dancers In the kitchen Clean from start to "pigeon wing." Sing the glory and the glee And the joy and Jubilee, The twirling form, the quickened breath, The sigh of ecstasy. Hut eyes that smile alone Hack Into our happy own. The leaping pulse, the laughing blood. The trembling undertone! Ho, pair us off once more. With our feet upon the floor. But our heads and hearts In heaven. As they tvere In days of yore! -James Whlteomb Hllejr. Why the Dinner For Christmas Was Not Found TTT was Christinas eve. Everybody II had gone to sleep, stockings had II been hung up. and the house was quite still when all at once strange sounds were beard from the pantry. "Oh, dearl Oh, dear!" some one was sobbing. "Oh, dear! Oh, dear! What shall 1 dor "'It's the mince pie," growled the cranberries. "He's got a nightmare again." "Keep quiet," growled the pumpkin angrily, "ou have wakened the tur key." And, sure enough, they heard the gobble-gobble of the turkey coming from the yard. "Listen, my vegetables," said the turkey. "It was only yesterday the children came to my coop and began poking me with sticks. '1 am going to have his leg, said one. 'And I his wing,' said another. 'And I his breast.' said n third. Now let us free the pig and all run away. "I should like to know where we are going," said a sour pickle "Why, to Turkey, of course," said a sweet potato. "Then we must lose no time," tho tur key said. "Spring from your shelves and follow me." Tho pumpkin, sweet potatoes, lettuce, pickles, cabbago and cranberries Jump ed down from their shelves. Only tho mince pie was left behind, and he could cot move, for he had been al ready chopped up and cooked.' Just then the pig began to grunt out ride. The tur key had let him out. "Oh. dear! Oh, dear!" the mince pio be gan again. "X shall be left behind. What shall 1 dor 111s cries at- tracted tho at- Tni ria j, THE PIE tentlon of the pig, who came to the pantry and looked at him. "Shall I take you with me?" he asked politely. "Oh, pleaso dor cried the mlnco pie. Thereupon the pig swallowed him and trotted off to lead the procession which was waiting in the yard. "Let us go to the old owl in the wood," said the turkey. "He is very wise and will tell us which is the way to go." "We want to go to Turkey," aim percd the cranberries. Ho sooner had the cranberries said thia than, gobble-gobble, the turkey swallowed them. Meanwhile the pig had eaten the sweet potatoes and the young lettuce. When they reached the wood where the owl lived only the pumpkin and the cabbago head were left, except the pickles, who were eo sour that nobody would eat them, "Hoot, boot!" called the owl from a tree. "Oh, Mr. Owl," said the turkey "la that yourself?" "No; It is myself," said the owl. During this talk the pig had swal lowed tho pumpkin. As for the cab bage head, it had burst with rage at the rudeness of the owl. All at onco steps jvere heard, and the pig and turkey started back in fear as they 6a w something black com ing through the darkness. It was a colored man. "Um-uml" muttered tho colored man. "Does I smell chicken?" Tho turkey, with a wild gobble, started to run. but the colored man grabbed him and put hlra in a bag. He started after tho pig. Tho pig tried to escape, but he had eaten so much that he could not run, and, be sides, the mlnco pie had given him In digestion, ne felt himself seized by the tall, and the blood rushed to his I DIDN'T DO KOTO IN'," cniEX) TUB NSOBO. head. All hope was at an end when suddenly "noot, hootP called the owl. Oh, golly r cried the negro. "I didn't no nothln'." Next moment he was flying for his life, leaving the bag la which were the pig and the turkey. Crawling out of the bag. they start ed off and ran all night, hardly stop ping to take breath, until when morn ing dawned they found themselves In a wild, lonely forest There the tur key became king of wild turkeys, and he now roams the woods, followed every w ber by hit faithful pig.
