Q ood Jolts at •
Christmas Time
Bq ETHEL COOK ELIOT
B W A S a high
school teacher
on a salary of
eighteen hun
d r e d . 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

IERHUNE

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
