| A CHRISTMAS STORY.
|T My Dear Reader;? \
I wish you to regard this little
Christmas story as a personal letter.
|j|B It happened one cold, crisp ChristH|
mas Eve five years ago. I was standing
in front of a brilliantly lighted
toy store in a city not necessary to
jpAname. Within was arranged in splenmasses
every type of toy to gladfapPfWn
^ttia-Jjeart of childhood. Coming
and going in eager, anxious haste
were rilothers and fathers clad in
Stylish, as well as comfortable
L clothes, their faces smiling because
they knew the joy they were making
> ready Tor the cdming morrow. There
i were also l?ttle ones in that throng
who in their childish cunning knew
full well that many, of those self
same toys would hang on their Cbristt
mas trees, placed there by a myster'
ious Santa Claus, and they were glad.
But all seemed to fail or refuse to
seP a poor, thinly clad mother, whose
face showed that she had known
brighter and better days. Clinging to
her hand was a little girl of six,
whose only Christmas joy would be
be view of the toys which tomorrow
wotWw.'be the actual possession of
thousands of happy children. I
watched her for a few minutes and
f realized that this was only too true.'
Presently a man attired in his everyday
working clothes modestly slipped
into the mother's hand a crisp FiVe
Dollar bill with the request that she
spend it for the little one's happiness.
I then and there discovered that
there is no eloquence on earth to compare
with a tear drop glistening in
a mother's eye, placed there because
of gratitude.

i Nowt iny dear friend, as this
Christmas season approaches there
are two hundred and fifty thousand
hungry, homeless and helpless orphans,
whose eyes are filled with
tears?not tears for Christmas toys,
but tears for bread to satisfy the
gnawings of hungei and to keep their
starved and emaciated bodies from
falling by the way side and becoming
dry bones to mingle with the
thousands of others who have already
fallen. There is no father to
hear their cries because he has been
killed by the cruel Turk. Nether is
therp any mother, nor will there be.
to wipe away their tears, for they
have been scattered into the mountains
and deserts, in many cases never
to see their loved ones again. Fifty
thousand of these mothers are unwilling
victims in Turkish harems
where a brand has been burned into
their flesh and the threat of death
placed over their he-ads should they
escape. How many of these will ever
see their little ones again, God only
knows. i
Now my friend, I call upon you to
assist in bringing Christmas to these
little ones. I call upon you in the
name of Him, who made 'Christmas
possible for us all and said, "Inasmuch
as,ye ha^e done it unto one of
the least of these ye have done it
unto me." I call upon you whether
you recognize Him as the Christ or
not. I call upon you in the. name of
suffering Humanity, you may not
see the tear drop of gratitude come;
into their eyes as I saw it come into j
that mother's on that Christmas]
Eve, but their gratitude to you will,
be far greater and you shall not j
lose'your reward.
Simply fill out your check for
whatever amount your heart may
prompt, and forward the same to W.
Banks Dove, State Chairman, No. 211
Liberty National Bank Building, Columbia,
S. C.
Yours very truly,
W. BANKS DOVE.
State Chairman.

Difference In Brands
j
The Encyclopedia Britannica says
about the manufacture of smoking tobacco:
"... on the Continent and in
America, certain 'sauces' are employed
... the use of the 'sauces' is to improve
the flavour and burning qualities of the .
leaves." Which indicates that a smoker's
enjoyment depends as much upon the
flavoring urea as upon the tobacco.
Your nose i3 a sure guide in the matter
of flavorings. Try this simple test
with several tobacco brands: pour some
tobacco into your palm, rub briskly,
and smell. You will notice a distinct
difference in the fragrance of every
brand. The tobacco that smells best to
you will smoke best in your pipe, you
can rest assured. 9 <
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco, i
plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives i
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance >
your nose can quickly distinguish from |
any other tobacco. Try it and see.
