THE COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1 911 EVENING EDITION. i ) Why the Dinner For Christmas Was Not Found IT wna Christians eve. Everybody hnd gone to sleep, stockings htiil been hung up. utul the bouse was quite mill when nil nt unco strange souuds wero lienrd from tbo pantry. "Ob. denr! Ob, denrl" sotno out1 wns oobblnR. "Ob. dear! Ob. denrl What shall 1 do?" "It's the inlnco pie." growled tbo cranberries, "lie's got n nightmare ngnin." "Keep quiet," growled the pumpkin angrily. "You have wakened the tur key." And. suro enough, they beard the gobble-gobble or tbo turkey coming .from tlio yard. "Listen, my vegetables." said the turkey. "It was only yesterday the children caino to my coop and begun poking mo with sticks. '1 nm going to bnvo bis leg,' said one. 'And I bis vrlng.' eaid another. 'And I his breast.' said n third. Now let us free tho pig nnd nil run nwny." 'I Bbould like to know whero we aro going," said n sour pickle. "Why, to Turkey, of course." snld n aweot potato. Then wo must lose no time." tho tur bey snld. "Spring from your shelves and follow nic." Tho pumpkin, sweet potntoes. lettuce, pickles, cabbage and cranberries jump ed down from their shelves. Only the mince plo was left behind, and bo could not move, for bo had been al ready chopped up nnd cooked. Just then the pig began to grunt out side. Tho tur key bad let lilm out. "Oh. d o a r I Ob. dear!" the xnlncc pio be gan again. "I jilinll bo left behind. Whut shall I do?" ills cries nt- r traded tbo nt- TIIK rI0 AND TnE me. tcntlon of tbo pig, who enmo In tho pantry nnd looked at him. "Shall I tnko yon with mo?" be nsked politely. "Oh. please dol" cried tho mlnco plo. Thereupon tho pig swnllowed hlra nd trottqd off to lend tho procession which was, waiting In tho yard. "Lot us go to tbo old owl In tho wood." snld tho turkey, "no Is vory wjso nnd will toll us which Is tho way to go." "Wo want to go to Turkey," sim pered tho cranberries. No soonor had the cranberries said this than, gobble-gobblo. the turkey mwallowed them. Meunwhllo tbo pig had eaten tho sweet potntoes and tbo young lettuce. When they reached tho wood where tho owl lived only tho pumpkin and the cnbbago bead wuro left, except the pickles, who were, ho sour that nobody would eat them. "Hoot, bootl" called thu owl from u trco. "Ob, Mr. Owl," said tho turkey, "Is that yourself?" "No; It Is uiysulf." said the owl. During this tnlk the pig hod swal lowed tbo pumpkin. As for the cab bage head. It had burst with rugo ut the rudeness of tho owl. .AH (it orieo steps wore heard, and tbo pig nnd turkey started bnek In fear as they saw something black com ing through tbo darkness. It was n colored man. "Uni-uni!" muttered tho colored man, 'Does 1 Biuell chicken?" Tho turkey, with n wild gobble, started to run. but the colored man grabbed him utul put him In n hng. lie started after the pig. Tbo pig tried to escape, but ho had enten so much thnt ho could not run, nut, be sides, the mlnco pie had given him In digestion. Ho felt himself seized by tho tull. nnd the blood rushed to his "I DIDN'T DO .NOTIIIS'," ClIIUD TUB NUaitO. head. All hopo wis nt an end when suddenly "Hoot, boot!" called tho owl. "Ob. golly!" cried the negro "I didn't no nothln'." .Next moment bo was Hying for his life, leaving tho bag in which wero tho pig nnd tbo turkey. Crawling out of tho bag. they stnrt ed off and ran nil night, hardly stop ping to take liroath. until when morn Vng dawned they found themselves In n wild, lonely forest. There the tur key became king of wild turkeys, nnd be now roams the woods, followed everywhere by bis faithful pig. Santa Clam And the Big Stocking j. ;T o .. K1M. AWAKE AT NIQIIT. Bftlililtlt "ill i ill iii i ii 1 mAliii 111! POLLY had n small bed close to that lu which her father and mother slept, nnd, although she wns nearly always asleep In It by 0 o'clock, the light from a street lamp which slyly slipped In nt n curtained window could havo told you that upon this particular night she was wide awake long after 11 o'clock mid thnt her brown eyes bud been open ovei since the lights in tho room bad been put out. Sho lay very still, however, because she bad Hoincthlngtodo which, nlthough nhe wns good nnd truthful, for some rea son sho did not wish her parents to know. Just nftcr tho little cloclc on tho mantel had struck 12 Polly rose half way In bed nnd listened. She could licnr her father nnd mother breathing, nnd n mouse was gnawing Bomcwhcro near tho dressing case. Sho wns afraid of the mouse, but nlie was too much In earnest to let oven a mouse stop bcr. So sho thrust her hand softly under tho pillow nnd pulled forth wbnt. hnd the light been turned up nnd hnd you been In the room, you would have seen nt onco was u large black stocking filled with n number of things which bulged It out in the funniest way. With this In her hand sho climbed carefully out of bed and glided across tbo carpeted floor like n woe ghost which hi.d forgotten nud stayed out too late. The bedroom opened with folding doors Into n sitting room, at, one cud of which wns n mantel, whero on all tho Christ man eves that Polly could remember her stocking nnd her mother's had been bung. Polly had many timed nsked her father to linng his stocking there, too. but ho snld that the leg of his stocking was too small to hold the large presents bo wanted, nnd. besides, it was only chil dren like her mHiuma who hung up their stockings for Santa Clnus, not grown people like himself. Polly felt her way to this mantel uud leaned the big black stocking ngulnst its side. Sho turned und ran back and climb ed Into bcr bed. The roouso was still. To tell tho truth, It was far more timid than Polly and had beard her flrat rOLLV'd FATIIEll FIND3 THE BTOCKINU nolselesR footfall and wns crouched lu the burenu drawer, fearing tho worst, lu n few moments Polly was asleep, und the ray of tho street lamp fell across her quiet llttlo hnnd. Polly slept on Chrlstmns morning Inter thnn nny other child In tho great city, and when her father, who had risen before she hnd nwnkeued. passed the Chrlstmns mantel he saw tbo big black stocking where sho hnd loft It. As he had helped to bang np the other stockings the night beforo this one seemed so strange to him that ho look ed into Its contents, Tho very tlrst thing be found was n letter: Dear Snntn Clruis-Ttils la llttlo Tolly. Ijist CrUmas nnu Crlsmns before you hav Klvven mo so meny things nnd 1 hav never Klvven you eiiytlilmi TnUe these dollj'6 anil blocks nnd plclier books for your lit tle girl 1 like thorn but you con hav them I wont too ulv you a kiss mm time how nro your rnln ilenrs kooiJ by with mory Crlsmns nnd hnppy New Year from your dear lltel Polly I'leas exKews mlstalks from lltel Polly lov to al, Polly's futber took the big black stocking with nil tbo toys which It contained und bid It where Polly will never And It. there to keep until Santa Clans comes to claim it and tbo dar ling letter. When Polly invoke uud run to the Christinas mantel In bur Annuel night dress he was there to watch, and when ho saw that iti tlrst glauco of Her denr brown eye wax for u big black btooklug which rtj cmiu he put his nrma around he m bugged her very tight and wild rv-n.' Christmas, lit tle Polly!" "o vw.c-ativ that sho fan cied bo vroa sd. She put Iiit faro close to bis nnd xtrokfd bis cheek with her hand, and then bcr mother came, and altogether tbey had n merry morning with the gifts which Sautn Clnus hud brought. But Tolly said never n word ubout tho big black -rtocklng. That was it secret between her uud Santa (Jlaus. DOING UP THE PACKAGES. Vastly Important Detail to Assure Un stinted Appreciation. To send a package that Isn't "Cbrlst musy looking" Is bound to detract from the gift. There nro stickers of nil Ore and alinp", with Santa Clnus. holly sprays, red nud gol 1 seals. "Mei' ry ChrHnms" and gayiy bedecked trees upon them. These stickers not only make u parcel more attractive, but they are a great help In tying up. es pecially a bulky parcel like a sofa pil low, which requires several sheets of tissue paper. lied. brMit green or holly baby rib bon Is used for doing up most parcels thnt nro not to go through the until. The adhesive red nnd green pnper rib bon Is often substituted for the other kinds, or sometimes the outer wrap ping has the pasted ribbon, while the Inner tissue paper Is tied. Inside. Instead of using n regular calling card, the name of tbo sender Is written on one of tho bright Christ mas cards that come In packages. RURAL YULETIDE SPIRIT. Tho Mall Carrier Finds a Present at Almost Every Door. Tho rural postmen nro not less gen erously remembered nt Christmas time than nro their city brethren. There Is scnrcely n fnrmhouse on his routo where tho mull carrier does not re ceive a token. Most 'of the presents nro practical. Knitted scarfs or mufflers, mittens nnd slippers nro fnvorltes with fem inine donors, wherens tho gifts of tho farmers usually take tho form of pumpkins, bushel baskets of potatoes, barrels of upples nnd turkeys. Mnny n rural mall carrier receives on Christ mas morning enough eatables to stock bis larder for weeks to come. Extremely Polite. Tho forms uf Mexican politeness to tho stranger nro sometimes embarrass ing. Miss Mury Ourton, who visited the country to pnlnt landscapes nnd tells her experience In "Impressions of Mexico," says that "people Heemed auxlous to help me in all possible ways, from the railway conductor, who Invited mo to dlno with him, to the very smnrt young man that I mot In tho postodlco whon 1 hnd a number of Inventions In my hnnd nnd who of-- Uck the stnmps for me."
