Lettenmaier (üiUAUJh T WAS Christmas mprning. Old Hiram Palmer sat by the window wafting for ‘he postman. „Christmas eve had been rather bleak. lie had seen, from the window, groups of people passing from time to time, hur rying, smiling, such gay, happy peo ple. Hiram was old, too old. He had outlived his friends, his immediate family, his day had long since gone by. He had given generously to hos pitals and charitable institutions and a number of personal presents. He always, for example, sent some of the large baskets of fruit the town’s lead ing shop arranged so attractively, to those he knew would never buy them selves such delicacies. The last Christmas he had only re ceived two presents. One from his nephew out West and another from a grandchild. He was waiting for these now. The postman came along the street. Eagerly old Hiram waited. And then he got up and went to the door. But the post man had passed by. “Are yoi, sure you have nothing for me? he called out ‘Look more care fully. I was ex pecting some packages.” T b e postman looked again. “I’m sorry, Mr. Palmer, but 1! ere is nothing hr-r> Slowly Hiram went back into the ldnely lirle house. He had lived too long. For his nephew had said: “I guess I won’t bother about Uncle Hiram this year. It’s a nuisance to shop, and anyway what does he care about a necktie? He can buy all he wants!” And his grandchild had said: “I’ve got to cut down my Christmas list. It’s so long.” And she had run her pencil through her grandfather’s name. For she had said: “Christmas is for young people' He’s too old to care ghaut presents and a handkerchief or two which 1 might send him!” cts each. Send them to your friends.
