The poor children of Pittsburg and Allegheny are to benefit through the expenditure of an estate valued at 5-11,000. left by the late George B. Nutt. The will provides that the es tate shall go to the wife during her lifetime and then is to be divided among his children equally . I f the children oil die before their mother, at her death the estate is to be spent for the purchase of gifts and playthings for poor children, esiieciully those In institutions. It was the wish of the decedent tliat the money be expended In small sums, to distribute It over os large an area as possible and benefit as many children as possible. Origin of the Christmas Tree. There is a legend in Germany that when Eve plucked the fatal apple im mediately the leavra of the tree shriv eled into needle points and Its bright green turned dark. It changed Its na ture and became the evergreen, In all seasons preaching the story of man's fall. Only on Christmas does it bloom brightly with lights and become beau tiful with love gifts. The curse Is turn ed Into a blessing nt the coming of the Christ Child, and we . have our Christmas tree. A FEW SUGGESTIONS FOR XMAS. What better than a nice rocker or a Morris chair?
