CHRISTMAS PLAY.
"Daddy," called Nancy, as she heard
him coming down the winding rçtaire.
"Oh, daddy,"
said Nick.
"What is it7"
asked Daddy, as
he came in the
room. "Why la
there so much ex
citement?" And
he smiled gaily,
for he conld see
that soon he was
going to hear a
secret. Yes, he
could tell from
the expression on
Nick's face and
on Nancy's face.
"Is it a secret?"
he asked.
"Yes," said
Nancy. "Or rath*
It has been a secret. We've been
ving it a secret, but now we're go
ing to show it to you. Or rather we're
going to let you in on the secret."
"Ah, that's fine," said Daddy; "how
I do love to be let in on secrets."
"ïou explain," Nancy said to Nick.
"Go ahead," said Daddy to Nick.
"And please don't keep me waiting too
long."
"Well, Daddy," said Nick, "Nancy
find I ha^e been practicing a little
play. We made it up ourselves, and
we thought perhaps you might care
to see it tonight. We're all ready now
—that Js, we've learnt our parts and
we've our costumes near at hand 1"
"A play!" said Daddy. "Oh, that
Is fine. What a surprise! And to
think I have known nothing of it,
and yet you've been practicing for it
and learning the parts and making
them up and everything."
"Well," «said Nick, "it wasn't hard
to keep you from hearing us practice,
and all of that, for we could do that
more easily when you were away than
at any other time. Dut it was hard
not to let you know a word of what
was going on.
tïfCT.
Nick Appeared.
M
jgtfjAnd if you like It, Daddy," Nick
^^^ent on, "we thought we might get
more children interested In it, and
then we might give it later on in the
holidays."
"Let's have the play," said Daddy,
"for I can hardly wait to see it. And
It's a good idea about having it with
more actors and actresses and making
a regular party out of it, but just now
Daddy Is most Impatient to see it"
So Nick and Nancy ran out of the
room, and after much whispering Nick
appeared before Dnddy and said in a
loud and magnificent voice: "Ladies
and Gentlemen, we wish to present to
you our play called The Christmas
Play.' It is our regret that there are
no programs printed, so I take the 11b
«rty of letting you know that the play
is in three acts and the parts of all
actors and actresses are taken by Nick
•' and Nancy.
"The first act is called, 'Why Santa
i Claus made the first Children's Christ
mas.' The second act is called 'Why
the Children Love Santa Claus.' And
the third act Is called, "Why Santa
: Claus Loves the Children.'"
Then Nick and Nancy began to act
% •out the play for Daddy. They had to
take many part«, such as when Nick
acted Santa Clans (which Nancy in
sisted he should do all the time) ; she
had to be as many children as possi
ble, and Nick, too, aeted the part« at
« mm of the children.
first act Santa Claus was
«wreaking a walk. Wherever he
walked he saw children and wherev
er he saw children he went up to them
and talked to them. The more he
talked to them the more he cared for
them, and finally he decided he would
five them a day all of their own, and
that as Christmas day was about the
nicest day In the year, he would ne
that It was the Children's Own Day.
In the second act they acted as
best they could the parts of many
children talking
of all the Ohrtst
ruases they had
lad which Santa
kftd given to
them and of the
■Christina«»« he
fl><3 given tMr
mothers and dad
41«. too. And
they talked of the
•d*y which was
their« — CXirtat
ttas day, and at
the «id of the act
they shouted a
loud hurrah for
Santa Clans.
tWr «1
showed «• r nl
Clauti once more with his

to be filled. He Vas chuckling to him
self, saying he hadn't heard a single
child this Christmas Bay it would be

••ch and such a thing. No, he said,
«**ryone was so happy and everyone
bsew he was busy, and didn't expect
Impossible of him. And he sent
a cheer for children who made him
80 happy because toe y were his real
tttends Î
And Nick and Nancy had fixed their
costumée and their own stage

WHAT ARE YOUR CHANCES
OF SUCESS?
Do You Step Out with Snap and

Things Done?
DON'T STAND IN YOUR
OWN WAY.
People with Thin, Weak Blood
Have a Hard Time of it. They
Should Take Pepto-Mangan.
Lof)k at the facts of your health,
So much depends on having red
I blood. If you stand up in front
'of your work with half-starved
blood in your system you are
standillg in your own way. \ oil
are blocking your own progress.
Thin blood makes you dull. It
makes you pale. You take no en
joyment out of your wrok. Tt is
only half as good as it should be.
You can remedy that condition
iso easily. Begin taking that fine
tonic, Pepto-Manigan, today and
keep it up for awhile. Your blood
will become nourished. Pepto
Mangan makes red blood corpus
cles. You will get energy and
strong power of resistance. In
stead of standing in your own
way, you will push yourself ahead
because of great vitality.
But be sure you get the gen
uine Pepto-Mangan. It is put up
in both liouid and tablet form.
Ask for "Gude's" and be sure
that the name is on the pacifoage.
The tablets or the liquid have the
same medici nal value. Adv.
No Worms in a Healthy Child
All children troubled with Worms have an un
healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
rule, there is mora or less stomach disturbance.
GROVE S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC given regu
larly for two or three weeks will enrich the blood,
improve the digestion, and act as a general Strength
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
in perfect health. Pleasan t to ta ke. 75c per boule.
A great many times people of
wealth are criticized for this, that
and the other thing, yet thore
same people who criticize severe

they profess to dislike, but really
envy.
When election time brings such
things to our mind we often won
der if there will ever be a "true
man of the people'' whom brib
ery, false stories and general
crooked politics doesn't effect.
We are optimistic enough to be
lieve there will be such men. Al
ready there are many socalled in
dependents who are out for men
and not for the party. And you
don't hear so much about those
people who brag that they never
scratch a ticket," it is up to
these conscientious citizens to see
that they pick the right candi
date, and campaign for him hon

To Stop a Cough Qtucx
take HAYES' HEALING HONEY, a
cough medicine which stops the cough by
healing the inflamed and irritated tissues.
A box of GROVE'S O-PEN-TRATE
SALVE for Chest Colds, Head Colds and
Croup is enclosed with every bottle of
HAYES' HEALING HONEY. The salv#
should be rubbed on the chest and throat
of children suffering from a Cold or Croup.
The healing effect of Hayes' Healing Honey in
side the throat combined with the healing effect of
Grove's O-Pen-Trate Salve through the pores of
the skin soon stops a cough.
Both remedies are packed in one carton and the

THE UNIVERSAL CA»
Out of the more than 3,000,000 Ford ears
now in use, about sixty percent have been sold
to farmers. Probably no other one thing has
brought to the farm so much of comfort and
profit as has the Ford car. It has enlarged
the social life, doubled the facilities for market
ing, brought the town next door to the farm,
multiplied for the farmer the pleasures ot living.
A family car without an equal in low cost of
operation and maintenance. x \Ye solicit your
order for one now because the demand is large
and continually increasing.
