ll^THEr CHR.I BIRTHDAY By MAY C ft^^v-QlS^V" 11 b\ with her sweet young enthusiasm, lo!^ them of tho '^rst Chrlstmastlde ? ?f t'ue Christ B*:> Child cradled In the nmnger because 'Aka there was no room In the Inn, of the Christmas carol of peace and good will sung by the angels to the shepherds watching their tlocks by night. Clarice's face was rapt; her eyes adoring Of all tho teachers In the Sunday-school, none was so lovely as her own Miss Maud. She was certain that the Christmas angels had tho same shining yellow hair. Did they wear thr.se fascinating gold hairpins, too? One was slipping out from the soft fuff over Miss Maud's left ear. If ouly sh ? dared tell hor! But that morning she had asked the awful privilege'it holding Miss Maud's muff / ?a rich auble with u beautiful bunch or violets fastened to It?and thero was no courage left for further intimate speech Suddenly the spell wns broken, and Clarice turned with angry Jerk from the object of her worship, and fU-icely scowled at an inoffensive little girl seated beside her. "Excuse me," meekly apologized Agnes, the new scholar. Clarice drew her light blue silk skirts away from the dingy brown cashmere touching them; held herself very straight; and, with a superb dignity, sniffed the violets on the mulT. "And now, my dears," said Miss Maud, "us you know. Wednesday will lie another birthday of the Christ Child, and who wants every one hero to give Ilitn a present?just as you would give a present to your own little hrothci on Ills birthday at home." She smiled radiantly. "Do you wonder how you can c'o that when the Christ Child has become a King In Heaven? I'll tell you. lie left In His place all the poor little girls and boys In tills big world, and told us that In giving to them we Nve to Him Not far awn Is a great i.uepltal for little children who have crippled legs and arms, and poor, crooked backs, sick children who can't run and play, but have to hobble nbout 01 crutch 's or lie in bed all day Wouldn't you like to make their Christmas so happy that they'd forget their pain?" Her smile gathered tip their eager nods of assent, as a golden thread gathering pearls. "I knew you would. Well, I'm tdlag to tell you t. secret." She leaned eonlideiiilally near. "The day befor:.' Christmas we're-to have a dear litllo service down Imre, and over there on the platform will be an empty manger, and, as we slug our Christmas carols, we arc going to march up to the manger and <ach put in n pi ft for soma little Christ child at the hospital. Won't we have a jolly Mine deciding what to bring! Why. it will be almost as exciting as If every gtilie cf yon were playing; Santa Clans!" Again Clarice's smiling face was clouded hy a ncowl, and one rudo elbow poked the now scholar's arm. "Clarice!" exclaimed Miss Maud, severely. "She's crowding mo!" defended aj sulky voice Miss Maud looked up at the ll'tlc brown figure shrinking hack into n corner. The child's eyes were luminous; her face flushed, her Hps parted. "Agnes was so latently listening to ine that I'm sure she didn't realize that she was leaning against anyone I'm surprised at you, Clarice!" A cheek hid its shamed crimson In tlie soft muff To have Miss Maud "surprised" at you was ignominy itself! Jlcr tears wet the violets. It was all Agnes' fault. Sho would never forglvo her?r.evor! And when Sunday-school was "over and Agnes, with n timid smile, a3ltert if she might walk up the street with Clarice, that unladylike little girl slipped her arm through that of her chum, Anahel, and, whispering and giggling, stalked by Agnes without a word. The tears came into Agnes' eyes, iui muuitw \>uum 1101 ici ner play with the little girls In the new neighborhood Into which they had moved, bemuse the children there were rough nnd boisterous, and used naughty words, nnd she was very lonely. Hut she was a brave lltllo coul, and dashing ;away the tears, she wns Boon THE ANGEL AND And the angel said unto them. Fear tidings u fi it Lij I 5T CHILD3 V&R I P>R?5?NT. Sy#*l !.

Agne3 remembered the time, hefore dear father's death, when they lived In a cunning cottage of their own on a pretty avenue, but now mother and she had only one room at the top of a gloomy house on a forlorn back street. Still, ns her feet clattered up the dark, uncarpeted , stairs, her heart was full of happiness because sho had reached home at last?for even one room is home when mother Is there. "Oh, mother," exclaimed Agnes, "I've so much to tell you'." And cuddled In mother's lap. tin arm about | her neck, a hand pa.t'ng her cheek, j Agnes sweetly prattled of the Christ ; Child of old. and how Ills birthday ' was to he kent hv elvtnir nrn?imlc ?n | poor, sick little children left In 1113 I place. "And, mother," she cried, "I'm to give a doll Just like my o\,,i dear Peggy! Do you think, mother dear?if I sewed, too, you know ? you could get the dollle dressed In time?" The smile faded from me.ther's lips, and the arm about her girlie trembled. "My dear little Agnes," j she murmured, with a catch In her ! voice, "mother is so sorry to disappoint you." She paused, then bravely went on. "Agnes has grown to be ! such a little woman that mother is going to e\;>laln everything to her. \ ou know, dear, for tlnue whole j weeks mother had no work to do." | "Yes," chimed in Agnes, gaily, "and It wa.? Just beautiful! We took long walks, and. In the evening. Instead of the stupid sewing, you told me the lovelist stories.!" "Hut, love," explained mother, with a sad smile, "when there is no work there Is no pay?no mom y to buy anything to cat nor coal to keep us warm."

So, you so \ Agnes, the money that mother is making now does not really belong to u , but every cent must go to pay our debt. " A small head solemnly i. tided. "It hurts mother very much not to give her darling any Christmas toys nor let her girlie's kind heart have its wish about tho dollie for the poor rick little child at the hospital, but Agnes will try to be u good little girl about it, won't Hhe?" Tho arms about mother's nock lightened their hold, but Agues' mouth twitched, and site had to blink very hard to keep back the tears, if she had no present to lay In the Christmas manger, how would the Christ Child know that she loved 11 in??

The curia bad all been combed out of Peggy'a struggling hair; the rosea had long ago faded from her cheeks, and In a 6ud accident Perry had parted company with the end of her nose. , "You dear!" whlapercd Agnes. Her lips formed a determined line. How could she have thought of giving Peggy up! What would she do all day without n dollie to play with7 What would she do at night without a dollie to sleep on the pillow beBlde her? Hut how disappointed her sick little girl at the hospital would be Christinas morning when all the ether children had lovely presents, and she found that she had been left out? Agnes stooped over the bed, gathered Peggy In her arms, and pressed her to her aching heart. ? It was tho day before Christmas, and tho children had sung all but their iast carol which they were to sing as they inarched to the manger and laid down their gifts one by one. 1 The door softly opened, and a little brown shadow of a girl with a small pink object hugged to her breast slipped timidly In. For a moment Agnes stood dazed, as if she had suddenly entered fairyland, for the hare walls of the room were festooned with heavy ropes of Christmas greens, the shades at tho windows were drawn, and nil the chandeliers brilliantly lighted, while above the awaiting manger shone a glorious electric star. Then, ashamed of being so late, she hurriedly tiptoed to her place, tho vacant seat beside Clarice. i Clarice met her with a cold stare, but the gaze of Agnes' eyes never readied the unkind little girl's face, j for it rested in fascinated awe upon a vision of beauty In Clarice's arms. It was a doll such as fairies might dream of. She had dark, clustering curls, and magnificent brown eyes. Her cheeks glowed with color, and ' E STOCKING. \ w V^it : ... -"T'.i " .I ^ nSftr?i 1* there was the cunningest dimple In her round chin.

"Why, my dear," cried Miss Maud. 1 putting h?-r arms about Agnes, "what is the matter?" A great sob shook the tiny figure.

' FARMERS* YEAR BOOK. Valuable Publication Issued By Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. The Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company has issued a handsome Farmers Year Book that does immense credit to the enterprise of that progressive corporation. The Year Book contains a vast fund of valuable information that will interest and instruct every farmer. It is not a mass of advertisements of the produets of the company nor yet a lot of testimonials but it contains really indispensable information. The output of the Virginia Carolina Company, with heaquarters at Richmond, Virginia, is too well and favorably known throughout the country to need much in the way of advertising, so the annual is more in the nature of a handbook of useful information, and ran he had free of charge by addressing the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, Richmond, Va. Every live farmer should get a copy. 1 Odds and Ends. Women don't have to swear to I show how mad they are. There ar* other ways. i Some pirls are so anxious to make names for themselves they misspell the front and then change the rear one. Often the man w'tvt has the price of a good eoat in his pocket doesn't care hew shabby the pocket may be ( nor the coat it belongs to. If the Standard Oil octopus were conversationally inclined it would be interesting to hear it discourse upon "Some Statesmen I Ilavc Met."

Some people are so proud of their humility that they are constantly committing indiscretions in order that they may gracefully apologize for them. Some women are such slaves to dress they are willing to work for their clothes. Perhaps you can't help feeling en- ^ vious, but at least you can help showing it and so making yourself obnoxious. It is no direct evidence that von are going to have uninvited company because you have only scraps for dinner. Still, you would better , have your weather eye out.
