An' he'll hump his back just as gap as

'An' ho don't wind up an' he donlt run

An Unexpected
Christmas Present
ONE Christmas day some years
ugo Almas temple of the Bhrin
crs of Washington gave its
annual dinner to tho poor. It wus a
well planned affair, generously contrib
tited to, and turned out a big huc-cohs.
But tho most notable thing about It
was not on the program nnd made tho
hit of the occasion. Whenever mem
bera of the temple think of the celebra
tion they chucklo over their unexpected
ChrhjUJim gift.
While uj Klirlners were feeding
their guests tU-.o came to their hall
150 loaves of bred. The huge six
foot Santa Cluus was L: y cracking
Jokes us he waddled ubout and took
slowu tho gifts from the Christinas
