He'd a brush for his clothes and a

He bad pictures and books and a great

CHRISTMAS OF THE SORROWFUL.
Even Those Who Mourn Have Sources

Twenty express wagons, backed up

On the Limited, too, was to arrive the body of a good man. who had gone

it in the land where naln Is no more.
His son awaited the arrival of the be

thoughts which seemed the sadder be
cause all the world was happy, while
ne anu nis household were In grief. He arranged the preliminaries with the
express company and waited In Its
ireight room with the undertaker, ex-
peeling every minute that the train would arrive. But the train was late, and it seemed impossible to get word of it. So there was nothing to do but
wait and think sad thoughts.
Forty expressmen and drivers waited
also, exchanging, as they waited, their
tales or hard service and late hours.
and grumbling a little at the work be
fore them.
Still the train delayed. An hour, a
nair nour more passed, and the time dragged slowly. The hard-luck stories had all been told. The temporary sense of relief In an hour of rest gave place
to a restless desire on the part of the
expressmen to get at their work and finish It A period of silence succeeded the noisy clatter. Then one of the men
began to sing:

Faith In Santa Claus.
I used to watch for Santa Claus
With childish faith sublime.
And listen In the snowy night
lo hear his sleigh bells chime.
Beside the door on Christmas eve
I put a truss of hay
To feed the prancing steeds
That sped him on his way.
I pictured him a jolly man
with beard of frosty white.
And cheeks so fat that when he laughed They hid his eyes from sight:
A heart ti.at overflowed with ove For little girls and boys. And on his back a bulging sack,
urimiui oi gorgeous toys.
If children of a larger growth
Could have a Christmas tree
From Father Time, one gift alone Would be enough for me
Let others take the gems and gold. And trifles light and vain. But give me back my old belief
In Santa Claas again! Life.
