There w e re fl v e g r o w 1 n g-up children and a w ife who was not strong enough to do her own laundering. Still, at Christmas time, his relatives would say, “M ary and John always no send the cheapest things! I ’m surprised, since they spend so little on their gifts, they bother about sending any thing at all.” John heard o f this, and was grieved. An innocent little nephew had given Ids elders away. But M ary was not grieved. She held her head high and only laughed, fo r she knew that she and John were not stingy, and that they were as fond of the fam ily as any other members of It. But she did more than laugh. She made a plan. And the next year John’s relatives got Jolts Instead of presents fo r Christ- m mas from M ary and John. Sister I s a b e l , w h o s e husband was a successful coal man. received a note. “W e sent th e thirty-nine c e n t s th a t we could have afford ed for your pres ent this year to the Serbian Re lief. I t w ill give some s t a r v i n g babies a l i t t l e eoup. W e k n e w you would rather have us do this.” And brother Thomas, the shoe deal er. got a note too. “ W e gave the quarter we usually spend on you. to our postman whose w ife Is In the hos pital. It w ill pay a carfare or so for one of the children to visit her.” And so on. A ll the relatives, over twenty, got the same sort of not,«, telling where the few cents that had usually been spent on them by the school-teaching brother at Christmas time, had gone this year. And Into each note was tucked a hearty "M erry Christmas.” John's fam ily were puzzled a t first. But a fte r they had shaken their heads together over It fo r a bit. light sud denly dawned. They realised then that the few cents John and M ary had spent on each o f them at Christmas time had been more o f a gift. In the real sense of a gift, than their expen sive. and often useless, presents In re turn had been. And they saw, too, what real good that little scattered money was doing thia Christmas, They ended by praising John and M ary, and thinking th eir Christmas notes the best thing they had got. And tndeed a Jolt can be a very use ful thing, even for a Christman pres ent 1 .

O nly Oregon Hdw. & Impi. Co, W N O ílS T Í g «Tom IERHUNE DOG DIES HERO Pet of Author Loses Life to Save That of Tram p Canine From a T ra in ’s Onrush. Mnny of the heroes of the stories of Albert Payson Terhune, author of “The Comedy Kid,” say» the Designer, have been dogs— Scotch collies. You will remember Lad, nnd his harum-scarum son, W olf— W olf of the understanding eyes. W olf Is dead. He died like a thoroughbred. From the Terhune home town in New Jersey comes this sto ry: “W olf had constituted himself ward er of the Terhune lawns and custo dian of the driveways. When motor ing parties came In and endangered the lives of the puppies playing about the driveways, W olf, at the first sound of the motor, would dash Importantly down Into the drive and every puppy would scurry out of harm’s way. "Every evening It was the habit of W olf to saunter off on a long walk. The exercise, It seems, prepared W olf for sleep. One night recently W olf ambled away and— “ Down In the darkness at the rail- rood station some of the folks were waiting to see the Stroudsburg express flash by. It was a few minutes late. A nondescript dog, with a hunted, homeless droop to his tail, trotted on to the trucks. F ar down the line there came the warning screech of the ex press. The canine tramp didn’t pay any attention to It. “The headlight of the express shot a beam glistening along the rails. W o lf saw the dog and the danger. W ith a bark and a snap the son of Lad drove the stranger to safety. The express wss whistling for n crossing fa r past the station when they picked up what was W olf and started for the Terhune home.” OLD-BOOK SHOPS IN NORWAY Ancient Scandinavian Volumes Are to Be Found In the “Antik- variate” of Stockholm. Norway, like China, has no old-book »hops. Christiania, of course, was only a provincial town In Scandinavia when, a few years ago, the partition occurred, and even now, as the Norse capital. It has a good deal lesa metro politan amenities than Portsmouth or Houmemough or Cardiff, says a w riter In the Manchester Guardian. A fter assiduous Inquiries I managed to reach a rather forlorn bookshop down near the docks and was offered, as a genuine antiquity, a devotional treatise dated IM S . The old Scan dinavian books are to be found In the half-dozen "A ntlkvarlala” of Stock- boina. They are fascinating old bookshop*- dusty and cobwebbed— four of them with numbers of tomes dating bach Into the sixteen hundreds, aud some even a century before. In one of them I found three veers ago a lot of K la e v ln at very low prices. In an other a couple of very ancient Bibles in worm-eaten wooden boards. Quits Tobacco and Oversleeps. It may seem strange that I have been chewing tobncco since I was twen ty-two months old nnd am still chew ing, says a correspondent o f the Leb anon (Mo.) Enterprise. About two and one-half years ago I made a resolution to qnlt nnd did quit for twenty-five days, feeling no III effects until about the end of that period, when all of a sudden I began to have sleepy spells and had to quit reading. Mnny times 1 did not know when I went to bed, but when I went to sleep my wife would wake me up some time the next dny. I finally got nfraid to go up In the woods for fear I might go to sleep and the big snake would enrry me to Its den and swallow me. So I broke my resolution by taking another chew and the sleepy spell was broken as suddenly as It came on. Can any one explain why all this hap pened! “ FI ret-Aid Auto K it” Latest. Automoblllsts used to be content with carrying— by way of extraordi nary accessories— a fire extinguisher, a swing for the baby and a tow rope, but with the list of those Injured in uuto accidents growing daily, some are beginning to add another piece of equipment, and an enterprising manu facturer of hospital goods is capitaliz ing this new need, says the New York Sun and Globe. H e has provided an “automobile first-aid kit,” which con sists of the articles necessary to ren der first aid to persons Injured while working on an automobile or driving IL Perpetual Sodas. There la one girl In New York who is “fed up." H er Job Is to drink nut sundaes, sodas, all the soda fountain concoctions there are, or to order them, at any rate, and go through the mo tions. She Is a spotter. Besides de tecting dishonesty and seeing If the ticket systems of the fountains work properly, there is the service business to look at, satisfied customers and all o f that. The technic la Just the same ns In spotting In a Jewelry store. The first essential Is complete disguise aa an ordinary customer and the second la alertness.
