This is th^ mes sage and meaning of Christmas. Socrates supposed and Plato philosophized and the world’s great ones dreamed that mental process could save humanity. But Jesus came to save us from the evil that dwells in us, and in the unexplored field of re demption his missioh was new and solitary.

Melchior, Kasper, who followed that bright JrP Chrlstmae star— Tou know the tale of the Wise Men, who camp hearing gifts from afar. Here le the tale of Artaban, the Fourth Wise Man of the Kast, Who saw not the Babe la the manger, but not of the four was the least! He stopped to succor one dying and loet hla companion* and way. But ever he pressed hie quest onward in hope, though alone and astray. And ever he nursed the ailing and ever the hungry he fed, And ever he clothed the naked wher ever his wanderings led. One after another vanlehed the gifts he had brought for the King— To save a slave girl from torment he cast down his last precious ring. At last a tile struck his temple; Arta ban then knew he must die. 1 Lying there, stricken and helpless, his, ears heard a Voice from on High Commending his deeds and service. "Not so, Lord!" he cried In amaze. Long have I sought The* to serve Thee, but sought Thee In vain all roy dayer- ■ •— - —- — r When have I clothed Thee when naked? And when wert Thou hungered and fed? THE'CLINTON CHRONICLE. CLINTON* & C. mm* ^ias. '■rrihw,"rnl' “ ~ “ 'rarrDcm a v nwr* Or homeless, gavs Thee a bed?" The Voice replied to his mourning: "As thou hast done It unto one Of the least of these, my brethren, so unto me it has been done." This Is the tale of Artaban, its lesson as strong now as thea: "To God ye do only service as ye may do service to men.” MAK1NQ HIS Q1FT COUNT By Frank Herbert Sweet Of “You will Jom the trade of my set,’ she nn.tpped. * “Better that than my self-respect,” Bob answered quietly. “And the trade of your set. while welcome, is not es sential.

I suppose r he Inquired. “I heart) you mention that, casually, when you first looked at the goods- For your mother, perhaps, for Christmas.” “I’ve—changed my wind. I will look at something cheaper.” “Considering quality, this Is the cheapest goods I have. But I have a little story to tell first Then I want you to help me. And you mnstn't think me Impertinent if I say things you won’t like. You heard us talking Just now?” ^ “Yes,’’ wondering what was coming, “and I’ll listen.” “Then you know my trade has been good enough to allow of a $500 Christ mas offering. I want to make It worth while, and I don’t know how. You are familiar with the struggles of shop girls, and with the pathetic side of Christmas buyers, Alice.” Thq^girl looked startled. “I never saw you before,” she exclaimed. “How do you know my nameT “I don’t, all of It—Just Alice.

There will be an orchestra and danc ing before the collation. Such things cost. I’ni already promised abaut $2,000, and want $2,000 mare. Maybe you can manage $500 this year.” Bob Henderson glanced toward a rather shabby girl who had slipped a few feet down the counter. He had been waiting on her when lllsa Bristow poshed arrogantly In front of her. The girl was looking toward him. She had slid a piece of goods back on the counter. “Beg your par don, Miss Bris tow,” he said, “I am waiting on this young laJy. “Ill listen to you In a few mo ments.” Miss Bristow fluttered her eye-lids toward tha girl. “The person can wait,” she said superciliously. “She Is used to it. Now?” “I don’t belong to the clnb, never been asked to it, wouldn’t be con sidered eligible, and—” She lifted her eyebrows. “You do not understand.

Fve got plenty of time,” faltered the girl. “Thank yon. Now, Miss Bristow,” turning back and speaking crisply. “Last year I gave you a hundred dol lars for some charity that wasn’t char ity, it seems. The trade of your set was welcome j but more, I was young and—easy. This year my trade has been better, and I really can afford $500 for charityj—” ' “Fine!” she interrupted, though wincing at the word “charity.” “Pay it now, or shall I mark it ‘promise’?” “Sorry, but I’ve been learning things since last year—about charity. Only this forenoon I went to the depart ment store across the street for some thing, and stood w itching the Christ mas shoppers for a while, and—but you wouldn't understand a thing like his, Miss Bristow, Only it determined my growing resolu ion to make what I give count. Helping to ffeed and amuse a supposedly wealthy card club is not charity; It Is foolishness.” “Yyu—beist. You refuse anything?” “Absolutely,” M' s Bristow swung toward tfee /oor. department store this morning, as you heard. I watched the shoppers. I saw children and women look at In expensive things wistfully, then turn away. I heard a tired- looking shop girl tell another that she wanted to get a crippled sister to a doctor, but couldn’t'afford it. Five hundred dol lars would do real good there.” The girl’s face lighted. “Indeed, It would, Mr. Henderson. 1 know that girt with a crippled sister. She sup ports her invalid mother and her small brothers and sisters, and sends some of them to school. And I know others What wouldn’t $500 do!” “I feel so, too, Alice. And you’re Just the one to do it.” “Me?” incredulously. "Why, you don’t know me” “Yes, I do. I was standing near the room manager when he called you up and discharged you. After you went out I heard him say to some one, In s regretful way, that you were one of the best sales girls he ever had. but that you persisted tf In dressing so shab bily, in spite of repeated warnings, that he was forced to let yon go. He wanted only attractively dressed girls.’' Alice blushed scarlet “I have so many to look after that It Isn’t right to waste on myself,” sbe said In a low voice. “1 understand. I made inquiries about you, and find you are the girl I need. Now, I want you to work for me, Alice, but I riiall give you the forenoons during the holidays to ex pend the $500 wisely. You may k&ep a report to show me. Afternoons and evenings I shall want you here. Tht salary will be $20 a week.” “I got only $10 m the department store.” “I always par $20. A good girl Is* worth it. And, oh yes, you must dress nicely. I can take two or three dol lars from your wages each week to pay on the things you buy. You’ll wanj at least two dresses for your self, with shoes, hat and other things. This dress for your mother, and what things you want for the children. You’ll come?” “Y-yes, indeed.” Tears were slipping down her cheeks. But they were happy ones. noiuf e nm Ira?: .Miify Graham Bonner* m IRST I was a beauti ful tree growing in the woods.
