MISS RHODA'S MEASURE
Miss Rhoda sat in the west doorway.
Her face was turned toward the sweet
sky, radiant with its rays of red and
golden light; It was nature's "with-
drawing season." At Miss Rhoda's
right was a field of stubble from which
the wheat had been harvested. At her
left the corn still stood, like Indian
wigwams, all over the field, waiting for
the husking time. At her feet the ma-
ple leaves, so gorgeous in their autum-
nal plaids, were falling. Here and
there the note of a stray bird which
had tarried later than its fellows fell
upon her ear. There was a chill In the
air; the wind was rising, and it stirred
the locks of silvery hair which usually
lay with such calm precision about
Miss Rhoda's face. She folded her black
shawl closer about her shoulders, but
still she linp-Arnfi
There was no kindly voice to warn
her of the dangers that might come
from longer exposure. No loved form
to come to the door and say, "Come in,
now; the air is chill and the fire is
burning brightly. It is lonely in the
room without you." Miss Rhoda was
alone in the world; she had outlived
those nearest and dearest to her.
In the afterglow of the lives of those
who had belonged to her in the old
home sweet memories lighted tip the
closing day, and as she looked intently
at the western sky she seemed to see

HE'S TOO CLOSE-FISTED,
a vision oi the pearly gates, behind
whose portals those loved ones were
dwelling. Watching the red and gold
light fade away, and the darkness
gather, she, like Christian, "fell sick"
at the glimpse of the glories and
wished she could be among them
As she turned and went into the
house, there was a look on her face
which, if an artist had caught it at that
moment, might have inspired him to
paint a picture and call it Renuncia-
tion. The most notable thing after
one has grown old is the fact of re-
nunciation. But in some lives, like
that of Miss Rhoda, It is a more deep-
ly felt fact, than in others.
"I was passing Miss Rhoda's house
Just at sunset to-night, and I saw her
Bitting at her west door," said Mr.
Bates, as he sat down at the supper
table. "I know she was trying to work
out the kinks and knots about that
mortgage on her place. But old Tom
Carpenter will foreclose when the time
comes. She can't expect any mercy
from him; he is too close-fisted for
that."
"Dear me!" exclaimed Miss Martha
Bates; "what will become of her,"
"She will have to go to the town-
house, I suppose. It will be very hard
for her; Mis.* Rhoda was always a
high-strung woman," her brother re-
plied.
"And after all that woman has done
to help other folks when they were in
trouble!" exclaimed Mrs. Bates. "Think
how she tooK* in those Butler chil-
dren and kept them after their mother
died; and how she kept that young man
who was too sick to work all winter.
An own mother couldn't have done
more for him. I declare If Miss Rhoda
has to give up her place and go on
the town at her age, it will be a
shame."
"Doesn't the Bible say, 'With what
measure ye meet it shall be measured
has always been in some good work,
and has had a kind word for every-
body."
Aunt Martha did not like the spirit
of criticism which her nephew had
shown of late about reconciling state-
ments of the Holy Scripture. She spoko
up in a quick way and said, '^Miss
yet."
"No; but the finger on the signboard
points that way," replied Arthur.
"It is dreadful for old people to be
obliged to give up their home and old
associations and go 'where they would
not,' " said Mrs. Bates. "Young folks
can bear changes—many really en-
joy them—but it is different with the
aged."
Aunt Martha had not married—her
acquaintances called her "a maiden
lady." It was not because she never
had opportunities to marry, she told
her nephews and nieces, but because
she loved them too well to break her
home ties with them. It had long ago
been settled that the Bates family
could not do without Aunt Martha, and
Aunt Martha could not get along with-
out them. "How dreadful it must be,"
was her thought that night, "to have
no lovelight in one's life."
Then Miss Martha sat down and
wrote a letter to her brother John,
who lived in the city. She told him
of Miss Rhoda; what a patient, faithful
life hers had been, and now, just as
nearing the end of the journey, she
must be forced to give up her home
and go to the town-house. Then she
added, "John, you and I must pay off
that mortgage, and give Miss Rhoda
the home for her life. We are able;
let us be willing to do it. What a
joyous Christmas we shall have if we
do this! Miss Rhoda must have the
measure meted out to her that she has
meted out to others."
The result was that Brother John
who was quite apt to act on sister
Martha's suggestions, joined her in the
labor of love for her neighbor. When
Miss Martha went over to see Miss
Rhoda, a short time before the fore-
closure of the mortgage, she found her
looking over her things—she could not
carry many with her; for the room
was small she expected to occupy. But
there was this little memento and that
gift with sweet memories associated
It was Arthur who planned a house-
warming for Miss Rhoda on Christmas
eve. The young men and young women
of the church and town filled her wood-
shed with wood and coal, and her cup-
board-shelves with things needful for
the necessities of the body. The fath-
ers and mothers Joined In the work of
love, and there was never such a
thorough house-warming done in that
locality before. A new light came into
Mies Rhoda's face that Christmastide.
It was lovelight—she was not alonfe
in the world any longer; she belonged
to her good neighbors, and they be-
longed to her.
When the Christmas bells rang In
the church belfry on Christmas morn-
ing the people heard them with glad-
ness, and thanked the Lord that they
had been enabled to help return Mis*
Rhoda's measure running over full.

At this season of the year, remem-

to promote peace, and to extend good
will to those around you. You may
promote the blessing of peace on earth
by frankly forgiving those who may
grieve or annoy you, by persuading
enemies to be reconciled to each other,
and by daily prayer to God to preserve
the nations of the earth from the dead-
ly horrors of war. And you may In a
great many ways show good will to

will receive no Christmas cards, no
nice presents of food or good clothing,
whose children have no nice toys or

What Make* ii Happy Christinas.
It does not require much money, nor
Indeed any money, to make a happy
home circle on Christmas. The chief
thing is a warm and merry heart. It
will devise ways and means for fill-
ing the home with cheer, Joy and glad-
ness. A little invention, a little ef-
fort, and much love will give the day
a halo brighter than tinsel and gold.
God did not require extra material to
paint every tree and bush in all this
region a crystal whiteness the other
night. He used only a little moisture
and a little co!d, and in the morning
men exclaimed in wonder, "What beau-
ty!" So the simple things beautify
and glorify the home, and make holi-
days bright with Joys beyond the pur-
chase of money.—Michigan Christian
Advocate.

J
rp-to-Dnre Love. ""rr*
The story of love may be "that old.
old story," but the manner in which it
Is told is ever changing. This is the
day of the motto button, and the end-'
of-the-century young man expresses
his feeling for t.he up-to-date young
woman in a style upon which as yet no
grass has grown.
The two seat themselves In the par-
lor. The coat of the young man and
the what-do-you-call-it of the young
woman are covered with buttons. He
hands one to her. It says:
"Girl Wanted."
She unpins one from her breast, and,
with a blush, hands it to him. It'
reads:
"How do you like my style?"
The man presents: "You tickle mo
nearly to death."
The Woman: "There are others."
The Man: "Nay, nay, Pauline!"
TL'f Woman:. «... i.i
the world for me."
The Woman: "I'm something of a
liar myself."
The Man: "Then my name is Den-
nis"
The Woman: "Faint heart nover
won fair lady."
The Man: "My heart loveth."
The Woman: "Sixteen to one?"
The Man: "The others ain't in It."
The Woman: "I wish I had been
born lucky Instead of rich."
The Man: "I am a gold bug."
The Woman: "On the dead?"
The Man: "Be mine?"
The Woman: "Oh, this 1b so sud-
den!"
Then the man takes her In his arms
and he puts on so much pressure that
he presents her the buttons on his
vest as well as the remaining ones on
^is coat.
How It Happened.
"Great. Scott!" exclaimed the young
man from the city, who was inclined to
be critical. "How terribly cross-eyed
that half-grown son of Farmer Whet-
rock is. He is certainly the worst
case I ever saw. He looks as if one oye
was gazing regretfully back at last
Fourth of July, while the other was
looking anxiously forward to next
Christmas. What an unfortunate
thing to have been born so!"
"Oh, he wasn't born that way," re-
plied Farmer Hornbeak. "One time,
when the boy was about nine years old,
his father took him out in the woods,
an' they saw a big gray squirrel up in a
tree an' a chipmunk friskin' around on
the ground some distance to one side.
The old man told the boy, to stand per-
fectly still an' keep his eyes fixed on
both of 'em while he went back to the
house for his gun. The boy obeyed or-
ders so faithfully that by the time his
father got back his eyes were twisted
clear of their bias, an' they've stayed
that way ever since."
