If she has saved ten dol- I Mothers lars In pennies she adds sixty cents, which she says pays postage on her Christmas parcels. She always has a fttnd for Christmas, for she has never acquired the ‘penny habit of giving* to church activities. Last year she di vided the ‘fancy fund' among her nieces and. nephews, with Instructions that the small amount was to be placed In saving and to f>e added to, or used as capital to compile more capital. The results were Interesting, (Or each recipient must always keep that amount in reserve for a future savings account. “Once Mrs. Hull purchased seeds and bulbs and distributed them where they would*be appreciated; once she subscribed for magazines which ro tated among a large number of read ers, some in public institutions. An- 1 other time she ordered toys, games and books for a children’s borne; an other yeaV she procured dozens of small dolls, with remnants for clothes, to send to a needy mission school. Once she sent hundreds of greeting cards, and once scores of Inspiring Cousins, nephews, nieces and chil dren sat themselves down on cushions of the blazing fireplace, and fathers, uncles and aunts found comfortable chairs. Grandfather stood filling his pipe from a bowl of tobacco on a stand. Grand ma, pink and lovely as a Bower, fold ed her hands In her black satin lap and s^led at every one. . “Grandma," declared a young voice that fluted like a blackbird’s, “Is the most wonderful person In the world. She’s younger than the youngest of us here, and prettier than anyone In seven counties. I wish she would give us her secret of youth.” Grandfather was pleased. Why shouldn’t he be? He glanced proudly at his dainty wife. ‘TH tell you why she’s so young and beautiful,” he said; “It’s because, my children, she’s a windmill.’* “A windmill I” shouted every one. ! “Just that," said grandfather. ‘‘And | she’s forever turning with the Wind of-Good-Wlll. She goes round so fast that she hasn’t time to think of any thing but pumping up kind thoughts from the Well of Generosity. But the best of it Is, that grandma,” here grandfather shook a solemn fore- With football for the season of 1925 now a thing of the past, the athletic interest of the student body now is focused upon the basketball court and what the approaching campaign holds in store for the followers of the Gar* net and Blue of Presbyterian College. It is getting to the point where a per son cannot with any degree of accu racy foretell what wiQ take place in any athletic contest, especially so in the matter of football and basketball. On "paper a person may figure out almost anything he wishes to satisfy himself, but when it comes down to the actual facts of the situation, then that may he a horse of an entirely different color. As far as can be determined, the Blue Stockings appear to have fair pros pects for the coming season, despite the new regulations of the Southern Association, which will bench many of last year’s varsity and freshman stars. A schedule for the approaching sea son has not been seen, but in all prob ability it will include games with Newberry, Furman, Clemson, Citadel, College of Charleston, Wofford, and perhaps some other teams. The Newberry Indians reigned su- preW in the Pahnetto State last year, preme in the Paimeto StataJast year, but this year they will have only a shell of the team of former years, and it is likely they will not be so formi dable as they were last year. The Purple team from Furman put Up a very creditable showing last year, add they will be out to make an evqn brighter record this year, as will Wof ford, Clemson, Citadel, and the other teams. The Presbyterians have good mater ial on tap, and should *be able to mould a formidable outfit such as will give any team in the state a good race for' their money. It is possible that the new ruling will not go into) effect this season. If such should be the case, Captain Wal ker, Stamps, Wilson, Dugan, Wither spoon, Stevens, Robinson, Jones, and Moffatt will form the nucleus of a very potential squad for the season that is now drawing near.

CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR THE SHOP GIRLS A WELCOMED CHECK CAME AT CHRISTMAS T HE woman made a leisurely sur vey of the vast outspread of Christmas goods, then turned to the girl behind the counter. “You must have a Christmasy feel ing In here,” she congratulated. “I almost envy you, my dear. That group of school girls did seem so hap py over something.” , It was early, with »ery few cus tomers. The woman talked • at the counter ten minutes or more, then was conscious of a low, peculiar whistle. 'i The counter girl flushed anxiously and moved straight toward the office ef the room manager. The customer went on a few yards to another girl. “What Is It?" she asked: “my talk ing with her? She Is a nice girl.” “Janie Is awful nice, paying a sis ter’s expenses at school, and support ing her mother. Pity the room man ager wants her Job for another—but please don’t be seen talking to me any more. I—I can’t risk losing my place.” “Why, ray poor child! I should be seen buying instead of talking. U’m I And dowp by the door a girl said that this store stops salaries on vacations. U’m!" The girl Janie was just coming from the office, crying. “Fired you, did they?” snapped the customer, frowning. “Tell me how?” “Here—here," fumed the floor man ager, at the door. “Our discipline— er, why Mrs. Waite. I—I didn’t recog nize you in that plain dress. It’s—er, all right. N-nothing will be done. And —and don’t mention it to Mr. Hall. It might—er, lose me my—head.” “Might be a good thing for the help, too,” ungraciously. “Now, look here. M ARTHA WHITESIDE was a lonely old woman. She lived In a little gray cottage on Bank street. She had no relatives and very few friends. But this fact did not seem to bother her very much—at least the town thought it did not. And gradually even the few friends she had moved away or forgot her, or died, so that often she spent days without seeing a soul. The town felt that she did not whnt any of It, so the town let her alone; left her to herself and the money she was hoarding so closely. She was voted a raiser and a crabbed old woman. But as It often happens In this world the town misunderstood. Martha was rfelther a miser nor a crabbed old woman. Instead she craved love and affection and would hav^ given worlds to be able to help In every good and worth while cause that came up. But !?he couldn’t—for contrary to the be lief of the town Martha was poor—so ! poor that she often had to go without the barest necessities so that the tiny income that was hers might stretch over a year. But she was too proud i to let this fact ever be known—too loyal to the memory of her easy-going . . husband to let the town know- he had l left her so badly off. I A few days before Christmas Martha I answered Jhe postman’s ring with as- l 1 tonlshment. She seldom got a letter now and a registered letter was sorne- j thing she had not seen for years. With ) trembling fingers she drew forth a cheek, made out to the order of Mar tha Whiteside, and the amount was $500. She stared at It for a moment, then she remembered the contest she - had entered. There was so much spare time on her hands she had worked over It many hours. It seemed Janie la to have a new position, at ^believable that she hud won the half salary extra, as sort of ^ room prize, but ft must in* true ’ - That Christmas the town became acquainted w ith the real Martha White- serving and from ttyen on the town took her to Its heart.
