“Why, where’s our Martha?” cried , Bob Cratchit, looking round. “Not coming,” said Mrs. Cratchit. “Not coming!” said Bob, with a sudden declension in his high spirits; for he had been Tim's blood horse all the way from church, and had come home rampant. "Not coming upon Christmas Day!” Martha didn't like to see him disappointed. if it were only in joke, so she came out prematurely from behind the closet door, and ran into his arms, while the two young Cratchits hustled Tiny Tim and bore him off into the wash-house, that he might hear the pudding singing in the copper. "And how did little Tim behave?” asked Mrs. Cratchit, when she had rallied Bob on his credulity, and Bob had hugged ills daughter to his heart’s content. As goo-.’ as gold,” sau Bob. "and oettei Somehow he gets thoughtui, sitting by himself so much, and think; the strangest things you ever heard.

tenderness and flavor, size and ■ cheapness, were the themes of universal admiration. Eked out by ap- ; pie sauce and mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient dinner for the whoie family; indeed as Mrs Cratchit said with great delight ■ (surveyins' one small atom of a j none upo*' the dish), they haan 1.1 ate it all ai last! Yet every one had nad enough, and the youngest Cratcnits, .n particular, were steeped in sage ano onion to the eyebrows! But now rhe plates being changed oy Miss Belinda, Mrs. Cratchit left the room —too nervous tc bear wit-ness--to lake the pudding up and onng it ur Suppose it should not be dune enough! suppose it should break in turning out! Suppose somebody should have got over the wall of the hack-yard. and stolen it, while ,hev were merry with the goosea iunposition at which the two young Cratchits became livid!

A smell like an eat-mg-house and a pastry-cook's next door to each other, with a laundress s next to that! Tnat was the pudding! In half a minute Mrs. Cratchit entered — flushed, 'out smiling proudly—with the cudding.

The sting in them lay in the fact that Mr. Roosevelt directed them 1 to the Japanese emperor who, in Japan, is traditionally a sacred personage. aloof from political and 1 governmental affairs. The Japanese army and navy, 1 however, act directly under his 1 authority and. presumably, his 1 supervision. They are. to all in- ’ tents and purposes, independent 1 of the political government. .3 Deliver Apology | , Tokyo.

iixe a speckled cannon-ball, so hard and firm, blazing in half or half-a-quartern of ignited brandy, and oedignt with Christmas holly stuck into the top. Oh a wonderful pudding! Bob Cratenit said, and calmly, too. that he regarded it as the greatest success achieved by Mrs. Cratchit since their marriage. Mrs. Cratchit said that now the weight was oft her mind she would confess she had ner doubt.’ about the quantity of flour Everybody had something to say about it, but nobody said or thought it was at all a small budding for a large family. It would have been flat heresy to do so. Any Cratchit would have blushed to him at such a thing. At last the dinner was all done, the cloth was cleared, the hearth swept and the fire made up. The compound in the jug being tasted, and considered perfect, apples and oranges were put upon the table, and a shovel full of chestnuts on the fire. Then all the Cratchit family drew round the hearth, in what Bob Cratchit called a circle, meaning naif a one. and at Bob Cratchit’s elbow stood the family display of glass. Two tumblers and a custard-cup without a handle These held the hot stuff from the jug, however, as well as golden goblets would have done; and Bob served it out with beaming looks, while the chestnuts on the fire sputtered and cracked noisily. Then Bob j proposed: "A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears. God bless us!” i Which all the family re-echoed. ; "God bless us every one!” said Tiny Tim, the last of all. ’i He sat very close to his fathers side, upon his little stool. Bob held his withered little hand in his, as if he loved the child, and wished to keep him by his side, and dreaded j that he might be taken from him. , "Spirit,” said Scrooge, with an in- I terest he had never felt before, "tell i me if Tiny Tim will live.” "I sec a vacant seat,” replied the 1 Ghost, "hi the poor chimney-corner, and a crutch without an owner, 1 carefully preserved. If these shad- ( ows remain unaltered by the Future , the child will die.” | "No, no." said Scrooge. "Oh, no, . kind Spirit! say he will be spared." “If these shadows remain unalt- | ered by the Future, none other of ’ my race,” returned the Ghost, "will ! I find him here. What then! If he ■ Ibe like to die, he had better do it, ’ i and decrease the surplus popula- I tion.” , Scrooge hung his head to hear his | own words quoted by the Spirit, and | was overcome with penitence and ’ grief. 11 "Man,” said the Ghost, 'lf man ■ < you be in heart, not adamant, for- 11 bear that wicked cant until you have I | discovered What the surplus is, and Where it. is. Will you decide what | men shall live, what men shall die? i It may be that, in the sight ct Heaven, you are more worthless and j less fit to live than millions like ’ this poor man’s child. Oh, God! to , j hear the Insect on the leaf pro- | nouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the i dust!” Scrooge bent before the Ghost's 1 rebuke, and trembling cast his eyes j upon the ground.
