THE "BLUE CHRISTMAS."
A Little Incident That Occurred in!
the Childhood of Mies Frances
Willard.
Among the beautiful and tender
memories of the happy childhood
which Frances Willard always counted
one of the richest possessions of her
life was that of the "blue Christmas."
Times had been hard that year, and
although actual want had not visited
the prairie home, there was no money
for gift; and to the father, ill with
ague, things looked dark and gloomy.
But the children Mere not sick and
they did not know discouragement;
Christmas had always brought its gifts
before, why should it fail now? So
the two girls hung up their stockings,
and tbe brother put his book-strap on
the front door-knob.
Of course the gifts came When In
all their lives had tbeir mother ever
failed them? The next morning the
book-strap held Pollok's "Course of
Time,' and each stocking contained a
few mtlenea shells long treasured by
the mother, an artificial flower and a
false curl, relics of a fashion of M-s
Willard's younger days.
Poor, pathetic gifts they sound to
us. but to the happy, healthy-hearted
little trio they were all that could be
dtsirid, says the Youth's Companion
As for en ertainment. what could be
more full of winter delight than going
to the woods and dragging home great
branches for the Christmas fire? To
Frances Willard the woman, looking
back through the years, those kindling
flames still shone wLu their old ra-
diance.
"We thought it was great fun," she
wrote, "but father called it his blue
Chrit-.nas."
There are always, and always mutt
be, those who dwell upon the shadow
side of the Christmas Joy; not only
the very poor—to them more and more
each year warm hearts and eager
hands are sending the gladness—ouL
the men and women of narrow means
whose hsrii toil wins them no margin
for luxuries, or pleasures. One's heart
mii3t always be tender for the wometi
who have nothing to give at Christmas
time.
Does not Miss Willard's memory of
her happy Christmas bring a message
of hope to those whose purses are
empty? Chili, i en are the happy pos-
sessors of two magic powers which
those of older yeais loo often lose—
freshness of imagination and a keen
zest for life. A tiny home-made pres-
ent and a holiday atmosphere, if it be
created by nothing more than
Christmas pie, will make the. day
shining one in the child's memory.
Report from the Reform School.
J. G. Gluck, superintendent, Prunty
town, West Virginia, writes: "After
trying all other advertised cough med
icines, we bave decided to use Foley's
Honey and Tar exclusively in the West
Virginia reform school. I find it tbe
most effective and absolutely barm-
less." Sold by Crew Bros., druggists,
ment of lands aod all land business
working under the direction of the In
dian agent of the five tribes at Musko
gee. This plan to supplant the Dawes

He Was Murdered.
The unearthing of a murder mystery
was begun at Woodvllle. a little town
ten miles south of Kingston, when tbe
dead body of a man was found near
Soldier creek. A party went out from
Woodville and identified the body as
that of Albert Cook, 24 years old, who
was well known in the neighborhood.
He had been shot in tbe back with a
heavy load of buckshot and had been
evidently decoyed to the placeand mur
dered. Suspicion has fallen on W. S.
Holley, 70 years old, who has been
placed under arrest. ,
It's Strenuous. •
There is no true superiority except
that created by true merit. The rea
son Hunt's Lightning Oil outclasses all
other liniments—it has the merit—It
does something. See what it will do
for cuts, burns, bruises, sprains, sore
acd stiff muscles and joints. Your
surprise will only be exceeded by your
gratification.
