Bring Out the Little Toy Soldiers ot Long Ago and They will Make Happy Christmas Again. Eaoli year the Courier liaB pub lished letters from the little people in and abont Orexon City, who deBire to be remembered by Santa Clan", and the little folks usually make it pretty plain what they most desire. We have done this with the thought that perhaps some one more fortunate might see the letters and make good the Santa deal. We have decided to make many children happy this year by giving them just what they ask for, that is, as nearly as we can, and we are going to aik the people who read the Cour ier to assist in thiB worthy enter prise. Read the story herewith and then go into your attics and bring forth all the toys that your children have out grown, and then notify the Courier office just what yon havfl, and further instructions will follow. There are hundreds of good toys that merely need dusting to make them verv ac ceptable gifts, and they will make the little ones uaptv, and that iB what we all moBt desire at Christmas time. We will publish on this page eaoh weeK till Christmas, letters received from the little folks, and we ak some of the older ones to read them and then do the light thing. STORY OF THE LONESOME TOYS "It's a shame, that's what it is, a beastly shame." And though. Kauoleon the Great was a soldier of many battles he whimpered like" a weakling. Tears rolled down his dnsty cheeks, and despite the hole in his battered ohest (for had he not longlit with such men as Alexander the Great and Ulysses S. Grant?) he sighed in a manner that would have moved the most un feeling heart. "It ia fearful. And who would have thonght you'd bring me to this?" answered Martha Washington, speak ing the unkind language that women Bometimts use when they are pro voked with their husbands She had become the wife of Napoleon the Great aunt one week alter George Washington, the Father of His Conn try, was crushed by the weight of the rooking-horse and its rider, who tum bled in a heap one day on the nursery fl' You know well enough it isn't my fault," the soldier answered, adding proudly: "Ami not a man of ac- "'You surely know, Martha," in terposed Alexander the Great in a querulous tone, "that a soldier would never cl oose to spend his 1 f e in tins loyleBS ai.d dreary spot. Why " But just then a cobweb Boated by and caused htm to snee ze so hard that he could not finish his senteoce. "Sorely it's nobody's tanlt that we have to lead this horrible existence. Who would condemn us to spend our lives in a dark and stifling attic?" re marked a sold er who I ad been mere ly a private in the line, and who now lay face downward on the floor, bot within hearing of the conversation carried on by his superiors. "It's just because our Little Boy Blue went away, aud because his mother doesn't remember about the other children in the world who need us, and with whom we ought to be playing thin very day. " "And it's because my beautiful youDg lady, Little Boy Blue's sister, grew so straight and tall that the fairy Prince she used to read to me about from ber story hooks oame and claimed her," said Martha Washing ton, her voice softening at the mem ory. She really felt sorry for the oross and vulgar words she had spok en to Napoleon the Great, and she longed to say somethiug that would sound beautiful and kind. And at the memories nwakened by the words ot the soldier who had been merely a private in the line, end of Martha Washington, who seldom spokoofthe yeaib .tl.at had pss-ed, and all fell to talking of the old timrs. They recalled the hilarious fun cf nursery days ; the battles lost and won ; the guy partii s at whiich they had been served catnip tea and gingerbread men ; the journey some of them had made around the world on Little Bjy Blue's choo-clion train, and then Napoleon's voice broke. General Grant himself v as weeping silently, and Mary Ann, who was just a plain rag doll with no need to hide her feelings, cried out toud. i'or they remembered the- day on which the laughter ha J died on Little Boy Blue's face, and how terrible the silence had seemed to them when his feet were stillid. But Martha Washington was think, ing of another day, and of a face as beautiful to her as was the face of Little Boy Blue in death She re membered how the shining eyes of Little Boy Blue's sister had looked out from under her bridal veil, and how a happy voice had said : "Good by, Martha Washington and Mary Ann and all the dear things of my childhood" "Let us try to wait in patience," said Martha Washington BOftly, and she was neither afraid nor ashamed to sneak the hone that was in her. For I it was as if Memory had come among them like an honored guest whom her ' companions received with all gentle ness and courtesy. "Surely better days are ahead of us, and we will not I stay always, unloved and forgotten, in the dreariness of this attic. There are playmates waiting aid wishing iforusont in the wonderful word And some day, perhaps soon, the mother of Little Boy Blue, and Little Boy Blue's sister, will remember to give us to the children who want us BO." And at that very moment a gay hearted sunbeam danced its way through the crack in the roof and smiled upon tne Lonesome Toys as if to say: "Be glad, Lonesome Toys. I am the harbinger of happier days." The Courier will stand by any man when be stands right, and qoit him when he goes wrong. UNION MILLS Thanksgiving passed off pleasantly here.
