places them In a toy bank and adds
six per cent Interest at the end of to front
the year. If she has saved ten dol- I Mothers

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

nieces and. nephews, with Instructions
that the small amount was to be

“Once Mrs. Hull purchased seeds
and bulbs and distributed them where
they would*be appreciated; once she
subscribed for magazines which ro

ers, some in public institutions. An- 1
other time she ordered toys, games

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. Walker and
Hunter have made two letters in the
indoor sport.

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.

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. Perhaps because
