CHRISTMAS TREASURES.
I count my treasures o'er with Care—
A little toy that baby knew,
A little lock of faded hue,
A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago thia Christmas time.
My little one—my all to me—
Sat robed In white upon my knee.
And heard the merry Christmas chime.
“Tell me, my little golden head.
If Banta Clause should come to-night,
What shall he bring my baby bright.
What treasure for my boy!” 1 said.
And then he named the little toy.
While In his round and truthful eyes
There came a look of glad surprise
That spoke his trustful, childish joy.
And, as be lisped his ev’ntng prayer,
He asked the boon with baby grace.
And, toddling to the chimney place,
He hung his little stocking there.
That night, as lengthening shadows crept,
I saw the white-winged angels come
With music to our humble homo,
And kiss my darling as he slept.
He must have heard that baby pra/er,
For In the morn, with glowing face,
He toddled to the chimney place
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Christmas tide,
That angel host, so fair and white.
And, singing all the Christmas night,
They lurdd my darling from my side.
A little sock, a little toy,
A little lock of golden hair,
The CUrlstnms mush* on the air,
A-watchlng for my baby hoy.
But If again that angel train
And golden head come back for me,
To bear me to eternity,
My watching will not be In vain.
—Eugene Field.

44 Q AY, Joe, let’s go and look at the
O Christmas things in the winders.”
“What’s the use? They ain’t
none of ’em for us. They’s only for rich
kids.”
"Well, let’s look at ’em anyway, so as
wc can tell Rwbhle about ’em.”
That settled it. The children ran as
fast as their legs could carry them until
they reached the shop whose "winders”
were full of the most wonderful toys; in
fact, everything that cpiild be imagined
to delight the hearts of children were
here most temptingly displayed. Each
article was freely commented upon, and
dt^y admired by the two lads, until at
last Dau said:
"Now let’s go right off and toll Ruthie
before we forget ’em;” ami they scam
pered back to the miserable place they
called home.
Mounting the steep, narrow stairs, and
passing through a dark hall, they went
fioftly into a tiny room at the back of the
house. On the bed in the corner lay a
little misshapen figure, with a pale, thin
face, am! big, s hollow eyes. It turned
slowly and painfully as the boys entered.
“Say, Ruthie,” cried Joe, “yon jest
oughter see the fine .Christmas toys in
the winders. I’ll tell you about ’em;”
and he described with much enthusiasm
the marvelous treasures tip* shop, win
dows contained, interrupted now and
then by Dan, who supplied any material
his brother lacked.
Ruthie listened eagerly. The descrip
tion of the dolls pleased her best. Joe
had observed them particularly on her ac
count, and was even able to describe
how some of them were dressed.
"Oh, how I wish I cou.a just see one.”
ahe sighed, "and hold it in my hand. It
would be ho lovely;” and. in her earnest
ness tile child tried to rise, but sank back
with a cry of pain.
At that moment, the mother a black
gowned, sad-faced woman, entered the
room, and prepared their frugal supper,
after partaking of which the children
were soon in bed and -asleep.
Only a few months before poor Ruthie
had been as straight ami strong as her
brothers, birt one day she made a mis
step and fell down the steep tenement
stairs, and hurt her back. With prompt
medical attendance and proper care, she
would probably have recovered ertf this,
but her mother had no money for doctors
or medicines. She had tried to procure
admission for her child in a hospital, but
influence was needed, which the poor sel
dom have, so Ruthie had since lain in her
’little bed. unable to rise and often in
great pain.
Since the day of the Iwys’ visit to the
shop windows. Joe’s head had been full
of a plan, which grew as the days passed
on.
One afternoon, just at dusk, before
the lights were burning, he went again
to tho place where he and Dau had seen
the windows full of toys. The shop was
crowded with customers, and watching
his chance he stole softly inside, and by
reason of his small size, glided unno
ticed among the moving figures, until he
reached the counter. Stretching out bis
hands, he stealthily snatched a doll from
among a k>t one of the clerks was show
ing a customer, and slipped out of the
door just as the lights flared up. Run
nlag nil the way, be arrived at home
safety, lie rushed up the stairs, and into
the rooou, ehoutiug:
“I got yer doll, Ruthie; you kin hold
it- U ain't to keep for always, but
Won tarn -hold It,” -and he waved his prize
before Rtrthie's astonished and delighted
eyes.
held out her hands eagerly and
the doll. She smoothed the flax
— and kissed the ulue, staring eyes,
y— pressed the unyielding little form In
P***. thin ariw. Joe witched her
with great •atwaf action.
^How do you like it?" he ask.il,
“lovely,” answered Ruthie. 'Where
dU you get It, Joe?"
shop.”
**Did yer steal it? she asked, looking
•1 him ehanpJj
bnf sowed it. I’ll take it back
when yer through with it. When’ll yer
be Vhrough?'’
“OK I suppose to-morrow,” Ruthie
aeM wM> a sigh. “Jnst let me keep it
to-rdgtit.”
80 the borrowed doll slept that night
with the little cripple, instead of bring
packed away in its customary box on the
shelf of the shop.
The next mortiiug Ruthie, with many
tears, resigned her treasure to Joe’s
keeping, and told him to take it back ty
the shop.
"IFor it wouldn't be honest, you know,”
Mid the little girl.
Joe rxxldod undersrnndlngly, and in
company witib Dan, wont back to the
•hop. When they entered. Joe went
atralgbt to the dork, who stood behind
the counter, and holding out the doll,
•ahi very politely;
"I’m much obliged to yer. eir. It ain't
hurt a bit. 1 only borrowed it. ho as
Ruthie could bold it a while. She ain’t
Dever bad one. and ahe can’t get out to
Jogk in rb<* winders, ’Cause her back’s
hurt.
The clerk aCaiwd at the buy in axnax-
mest. The doll had not been missed and
this little scene was beyond his compre
hension.
A gentleman, who was standing near,
and had seen and heard all, came up to
Joe, and laying his band kindly on his
shoulder, asked:
"Who is Ruthie, my boy?”
"My sister, sir,” was the reply.
“And how old is she?” continued the
gentleman.
“Eighth sir.”
“And she never had a doll?”
“No, sir.”
The stranger turned to the clerk.
“Pleisc wnap up the doll nicely,” he
Raid; and when the parcel was ready, he
paid for dt, then spoke again to the boys.
"Now, take me to Ruthie,” and Joe and
Dan obeyed.
As they walked along, the kind gentle
man, who was a physician, queitioned
the lads nboirt their sister’s injury, and
they told him all about her fall, and how
their mother was too poor to have her
properly cared for. As they entered the
room, the mother, who was preparing the
mid-day meal, looked up in surprise as
she saw the stralfge gentleniAn with Joe
and Dan. The boys rushed to their Mis
ter’s bedside with the doll.
^“Here’s yer doll, Ruthie, back again.
It’s ter keep fer always. The gentle
man give it ter yer.-’’
Ruthie, who could hardly believe the
good news, looked at the doll with long
ing eyes. but did not touch it.
The doctor, who had been talking to
the mother, now came to Ruthie’s bed
side. Speaking pleasantly to the little
girl, he carefully examined the poor,,
lame back, and as he finished he said
cheerfully:
“And how docs Ruthie like her doll?”
"Oh, sir/’ eaid the child, "it’s beau-

taful. But is it really, truly for me?”
The gentleman laughed find nodded,
then taking the doll fr«»m Joe, handed
it to Ruthie. She grasped it tugerfy, and
hugged it to her breast.
“Thank you so much, sir.”
The doctor patted her cheek and con
tinued :
“And now. my little Ruth, how would
you like to go to a big house, where you
could lie in a nice little bed in a large,
bright room, with pretty pictures on the
walls? And if you will be a very pa
tient, good little girl, and do just as I
say. 1 think that in a few weeks you
will be able to walk aoout as well as
you over did.”
“Gee whiz!” shouted Joe, while I>an
chimed in: “Think of the wimhrs, Ru
thie!” and the two boys could not re
frain from giving a rousing cheer.
It was too good to be true. Ruthie
thought. First the doll, and now to lie
cured, and able to run about with her
wothers. She was too happy to say
much, and only asked that she might be
allowed to take her treasure with her.
and the kind stranger’s”smiling consent
completed her joy.
Then the doctor turned to the grateful
mother, who was quite overcome At this
unexpected gtsxi fortune, and telling her
to have the child in readiness within an
hour, f<M>k his leave.
The preparations were hastily made,
and at the appointed time Ruthie was
taken sway to the hospital, holding tight
th? precious doll.
The doctor was as good ns his word.
The Httle invalid had the boat of care,
and in a few weeks was able to walk
about with the aid of a crutch, while her
kind friend promised that it would not
be long before she would walk as well as
Any one. . (
The overjoyed, mother could not suffl
cieDtly express her thanks to the good
doctor, who would not lisleu, uuly say
ing, good-naturedly:
THE SPIRIT OE THE SEASON.
ARVELOUS Is tlie influence by which the Christinas
spirit moves the hearts of men to Joj-ful and generous
impulses. It seems as if In this era of the year an
unseen nngel touches the invisible spring of all unused
door In normal human nature and tills them with song
and sunshine. What a world of generous endeavor and
what a summertime of happiness is a whirl around us!
Those whom Providence has prospered uro busy with
their loving devices to make home happy, to crown the
waning year with goodness, to reward fidelity, patience
nnd love, to reap the Joys that flock into the Christmas
season like homing doves froni a far clre'ng flight.
None would deny them all the riches of such experi
ence, but let us not forget the larger and holier signifi
cance of this season whose glory Is the advent of Him who came to minister
to the poor and the sick and the downcast, and not to bo feted and filled with
costly gifts.
Ho came to servo nnd not to pamper Himself. He came to biess those
to whom "blessing” was the strange name of an unknown experience. His
works that have caused Him to hold the supreme admiration of mankind,
the worship of millions and to stir the emulation of phllantiiroplsts the world
over were His gifts to the poor, the lame, the sick, the blind nnd the outcast.
Here Is the divine suggestion to every man and woman who-would know
really the full proportions nnd power of happiness. Throw out the circle of
your presence nnd generosity to take In some of those whom you know are
without the cheer and content of the Christmas time. Look out from your
homes of ease and plenty by the book way to those hovels where you know
is want and aching bodies nnd paralyzing helplessness. Reach out tiiat hand
of thine, into which a Christian civilization has poured more than your sutll
ekney, nnd scatter the sunlight and healing offerings among those who shrink
in the shadows.
Every man and woman who would experience the true Christmas spirit
should distribute with grace and humanity to the poor nnd sick. It is»n UJbe
to Him whom you celebrate. It is a duty that casts a searchlight on the way
to heftven. It Is nn excuse that stirs the inward spirit as none other can and
widens the soul to greater capacity for love and happiness. Try It. Test It.
Tasto the Joy of it.—St. Louis Chronicle.
’Tut, tut, say no more about 4- We
will call it Itutihje’e Christmas,” and his
eyes twinkled us he smiled at the happy
little girl.
Nor did he forget the boys, who fouhd
well-tilled stockings on Christmas morn
ing. beside* a substantial gift for the
mother. When Ruthie cam? home to
them, straight and well, there was great
rejoicing, and you may be sure that Joe
and Dan lost no time In taking their
sister to view the wonders of the shop

Ruthie’s greatest treasure.—Waverley

and the domestic servants—are given,
through the established munificence of
the President, a fine fat turkey. Fifty

everybody about the famous mansion has
reason for rejoicing.
No one expresses his happiness with
a more beaming countenance than does

Christmas Table Decorations.
The dinner table itself should proclaim

the guest cards either bells, stars, plum

verj t^-’shold of death in a
I hospit 11.
The bullet had plowed its way tfmmgit
scalp and skull, aud for a time the is-sue
was uncertain; but finally the skill and
<ll re of surgeon and nurse won the dny^
but John Fairfax arose and went forth
into a world of strangers.
He knew no one. His own name war*
gone from him. The past w.m sealed.
। His mind saw only a blank wall. Kwvb
ns John Doe, of Nowhere, the name by
u Inch a merry clerk had entered ium os
Ihe hospital records, he was told thnt he
might go hi ue.
"Home?” said he, simply. "My h<nn»
is with the army. 1 don’t remember
ever being iywhere else. If 1 enn’t
handle a gun let me drive one of tlw
wagons, or v.* »k f the soldiers. I’ve
got to stay with t|ie !x»fs. I wouldn't
know when* to p> if you turned me
away.”
And so, not being able to get rid of
। him, Jolin Doe was allowed to remain
with the army, lb- had been rep wtM
missing, .and 1 - mi m h.p.i been dropped
1 from ,th;* nin^i 'rr’Jl of tip* rvg-ic to
. which h>* hail bplotiged, a.id lie was now
assigned to a r< ..meut from a;: ‘imr
i State. His f > im r < omrados believed him
dead.
Tlie min i John Doe was of such
I recent birth, so untrained in the ways
; of the world, that its owner soon be ime
| the standing butt and jest of the ■ imp.
John Doe submitted to it all with a pa
tient furboa rance that was pnii. • to
That was John I>oe during lie* <i:ial
day of the terrible battle off th“ 6 Wilder
ness, when a-.soldier, whose canteen im
had just filled with water, dropped < . id
fu tTh* at of raising it to his lips h>t
through the brain. The victim was :t
young soldier who often had befriended
poor stricken John Doe, nnd when they
water carrier saw his friend and pn»tec
t>r ^Hot down the many kindly little
deeds of which he had been the recipient
flashed swiftly through his brain.
Springing t 3 his feet, he grasperl tho
rifle which bad fallen from th? h ■ ids
of his dead friend, wrenched a belt ; : ;led
with cartridges from on? of the men ly
ing about him, and plunged into the
thickest of th? fight.
And during the rctrt of th? battle John.
Doe loaded and fired in frenzied haste;
sprang from tree to tree as the line nd
\ a need or rctreatecU and fought like a
' hero till ihc sun went down.
The men mafic sport of John Doe no
longer. From the by-word of the ramp
he had grown t » t'he hero, hut a modast
one, for when the colonel offered to pro
mote iiim for bravery on th? field of bet
tic. he simply said:
“Xo; give the place to one of Ute
l*oys. I don’t <! -erve it—'all i’m guod
for is to cook and carry water.'*
Cook and water-carrier' he n>uiainedc
and when Appomattox cam? and the cou

swept northward with the rrturninc
wave of soMirrj’. And by some s-tmapi
irony of fate he was left stranded iu a
Pennsylvania village scarcely it score of
miles distant fr.-m the home from whicts
he had gone forth to do buttle for Id*,
country.
His one? dark hair and beard
now silvery white, and the linrdchipß
through which he had passes! had iiuhW

there was small probability of his beiac
