A KIND FAMILY’S CHRISTMAS GIFT * NCR, long neo. In the

in nuntains of southern France, there lived a poor but honest family of a father, mother nml two children. The father wns named Adam and tho in other Hannah. Tho son,

Peter, was twelve years of age, and the daughter, Esther, was only nine. father Adam was an honest, hard working man. On the steep sides of , tiie mountains he kept his sheep and a cow, and in a little valley that lay between the mountains Mother Hannah made a garden, tilling tiie soil by her own hands, with the aid of a few simple gardening tools. And her son Peter gave her what assistance a ls>y of Ids years could give. Esther kept tiie little tliatclied cottago tidy and clean, preparing tho meals for tiie three workers who were out of doors most of the day and who came in nt night from their toil very, very tired. Hut they never grumbled nt their lot, for they lind hope* that Fortuno would smile on them some time. And she did —ln tiie fonn of a fairy. One morning the day before Christ mas Father Adam and family sat FY ’ X 1 < J\ ' lkl> c re ... 5 ityroßK HF.n groan a fairy. around their plain wooden table eating ! I tiiuxl: and rniik. Adam spoke. “Tin the lady time of Clirlstinns. mother," lie said, "and we should do! an n< t of charity toward some one I lawrer than ourselves, even though it should be giving ever and ever so j small a gift. The laird gave Ilia life for sufferers in his name <*n the day of Ids Nnthily. What say you. mother? "You are right." agreed Mother , Hannah. "There is the Widow David. | who stands In great nets I. She has two I i children, and the wolves got among her | sheep ami killed three of tiie finest Siu- is trying hard to keep her children ami herself. What My you to our ' sending lier a bag of wheat and a ’ small cbeeoe'r" "Very good, mother," ngreisl Fattier Adnm. "And as 1 shall have to watch the sheep and ’cow either Peter <>r Esther shall take the wheat and cheese I . Widow Dav hl'. . "I'll go." offered Esther, "for Peter I and mother are digging tip the ground I tor tiie plant Ing of vines In the s pring." I Ho It was agreed that Esther should I take the dogcart and make the Jour-! ney over the mountain to tile cottage ; of tho Widow David. Aa soon aa i brs-.'il.fast was over Esther tidied up the lioiiso mid plneed tile noon uienl—a loaf of bread, a Jug of homemade wine and a small cheese—on the table, i "Mother and Peter will Im hungry after tiie forenoon spent in the garden.” she said. "Poor father always carries Ids bretd and eh«e«e In his pocket ami eats ns he bonis tlx* slieop, "Now. Iwfore going I ahull tlx tiie tin* to hold Illi nooti<l*y; otherwise the house will Ito cold on mother's and I’e- | tor’s return." Ko saying. Esther "flicked up a huge log that lay hobble the fireplace. "Ah. thia Is the log father an Id should burn our Christmas evo tiro. It will soon lui Christmas eve. and I'll throw tho log on tho flame mid have the house cheery on the return of the donr one*." lint Jii«t ns EstNbr wns lifting onoend of the henry log the Yule log—u flash of light leaped from tho further end nml caused Esther, to close her eyes. When site opened them again there I ..fore her stood a f dry. "Ab! I have come to bring you some Christmas | sheer." said the fairy. "Your parents are gmvd mid deserving folk. They wore robbing their larder to help tho needy widow. So here Is a bit of good fortune for you ami yours, little helpful maid. Take of It for yourselves mid for thane nlsuit you who arc in need." Then, before Esther could reply. tho fairy bad disappeared, leaving ! on the lionrtli a big of gold. The little girl run out and called In her parents and brother. When the tether looked Into tho big bng of gold he said that there was enough thereto k<*ep them all 111 comfort for tim rest of their Ilves and with which to help tl'dr !>•** fortunate ttuighbor* as well. | An*! , may l*e ->ro there was u merry f'hri«lmn* for the fondly. with ' atauy g>«od wishes for the kind fairy, i I I

GAME FOR RAINY DAYS. '• Tre* Tale" Roquires Knowledge of Names of Various Trees. A good game for a very cold or a I hery rainy day. when Indoor amusement is necessary, is a "tret- tale." The I . lain Is told on slips of paper with , blanks left for the mimes of trees to 1 lie Inserted. The player setting down tho greatest number of trees In the ■ "tnlo" correctly will l-e entitled to n I prlxo. and the ttooby will be ordered to do something to amuse thecompany. I It may b<> to get up some hoax or Im- • personate some one of the eoiii|siny, any "out of the way" bit of "business." The tale reads thus; one beautiful day Mehltabel Martin shut lier ottiee de-.k with a bang and said: "1—- for the woods mid nm going to up a bit mid leave this I city of cans, which it certainly I takes tho ——for hm borlng, mid hie . mo to tiie country. You can come with me. Hobby. If you will take that i —— out of your mouth It Is s i cool ‘ today that one could almost wear ——.l And you expis-t to piny with Johnnie' Brown or the of the Jones boys? ! Well, now we are off. How the water shimmers on that ■! - The train will i now go through a tunnel Don't shiv-1 er like tin —there Is no danger, j Now we will alight from the train. I That cow —— nt yon I expect, and | some one will Just — those wild birds | with shot. You will it if you lose I one of your gloves. You won’t get an-, other — very soon. How did you get that In your hand; Has your ehmn been teasing you? Dou’t mind him. Live on a high . Now we | will go home and have pudding for dessert.” The key to this "tale” is pine, spruce.! ash, palm, gum. Hrs, elder, lieech. as-1 > pen, willow, pepper, rue. pear, thorn, ■ , plane, plum. MIND READING. * : "Mind reading" la both a game and mt experiment atuLplayed by any number of persons, one of whom leaves the room while the others agree on some simple thing for him to do. The play- i er without is then cnlhsl In, and one I of the company takes him by the hand.! at the same time thinking intently of, the thing agreml upon. He must not move unless the first player moves. The player w ho went out must keep ! his mind quiet, trying Io think of noth- j Uig in particular, moving in any dlr«*c-l lion he feels impelhsl to move and do- ■ tig whatever he feels hnpellisl to do. The player will very often do the very thing lie wns requtnsl by the company i to do. There is no general ngris-mcnt ns to [ why this should l>e tho case. It Is nr gmsl by some that the playor's nilmi I is really influenced by that of the one I who holds tils hand. Others nmtiitain ' that the success of the experllui nt Is I ttsunlly the result of chance. Again/ t Is alleged that the player who Ims his mind lieut Bpon the net in question thinks of It so intently that ho cannot teip showing the othe-, by uci-otmcloiis museulur movements, what is to be done. It Is generally found that certain players succeed better when they are lenders and others when they are led I Instead of merely Inking hands the ■ player who goes out often holds the back of the other's hand against bis forehead. Hometimes the one wls> goes out bolds no one's hand nt nil. but the i ■•ntiro company think very enrurstly i of what they have agr-s-d be shall do MAGIC MUSIC. I Xaaaaaaaaa-aaa r - i This Is a grand game that children 1 never tiro of playing To piny "mngl< • | music," carefully count a number and , I see that there is a chair for every play I er—minus one. l‘la<-e the cliairs. sac , ' Ing outward, In a ■ ir.-lo on a double row; then let the children, to brisk and 1 lively musii’. dance around the circle , of < hairs. The music coining to a sud den atop is the signal for the players to , ' rush for tho i-ltalrw, vv hen. of course. >m. la left without a scat and out of I tho game. A chair Is then removed ilm nnisle and tho darn ing are resumed the music again stops suddenly, again , tiie players rush madly for the eluting! again one Is left out, another chair b removed, and so on till only one ebnit i i i* left with one child tented in It—tlw I victor In the game. The rules of Hie game nre. first, that 1 no one iniist touch a cliair while i marching on penalty of being put out of the game, sis-olid, that If two player*, j alt on the Mine chair nt once lite um! idle shall decide which has the right t< i It mid In caao of doulit may order tlu i players to march ngiiln. and. third.
