THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT;
A CHRISTMAS FANCY
DRIVEN from the heart of the
people. Christinas Spirit left
the great shops, fled from the
market places and from every
habitat of mau until he came to the
quiet little sunlit path that runs
through the deep wood.
When he was yet afar off the most
perfect Fir Tree in all the forest called
gayly to the Great Oak at her side,
"Christmas Is coming!"
"Yes." answered the big oak. "but
there is something wrong. See how
ho halts at the end of the path, stoop
ing as if the load of the world's sor
row lay upon his shoulders. See how
he cotties now, with all the gladness
gone from his step."
It was quite true. Christmas Spirit
came toward the most perfect Fir Tree
In the wood with lagging step, looking
away through the forest with sad and
troubled eyes.
"Why, what is the matter. Christ
mas?" called the Fir Tree.
There was no answer. The forlorn
figure sat down on a fallen log at the
foot of the Fir Tree, but still there was
no answer.
"Tell me about it all, Christmas," in
vited the Fir Tree in n voice vibrant
with sympathy.
"I have been over the wide world. I
have knocked at the door of every
heart, and no one has opened to me. 1
am forgotten, and there is no one who
loves me," he said.
"Every heart?" questioned the Kir
Tree Incredulously.
"So, but many, many hearts, and
they are all alike," be compromised.
"1 have been in the home of men and
stood so close to them that 1 could lay
a finger on their naked hearts, but they
did not stir at my touch They looked
me squarely in the eye. and these are
the things they said to some woman in
their homes: "Don't break me.' 'I shall
be mouths paying the bills you are
making.' 'Christmas Is a nuisance.'
'Confound this custom of giving pres
ents anyway r
"These are the things they said while
they looked into my eyes, and all the
while my bands lay frozen against
their hearts.
"I went and stood beside the women
In many, many homes, and they looked
through me as th»ngh I was not One
beautiful lady I think of now in par
ticular. Oh, I wanted a place In her
heart, and I knocked loud and long, but
the door did not open so much as a
crack for me to enter. She looked Into
my eyes and said: '1 wonder what Mrs.
Brown paid for that bag she gave me
last year. It looked like a cheap thin?,
and I shall not spend much money on
her.' Atid again, "It Is awful to Just
have to make sifts to people you do
not care a thing about.'
"No one loves me. and I cannot live
without love, and so 1 shall die," sob
bod Christmas Spirit to the Fir Tree.
"Christmas has come to be just a big
exchange desk, where people give to
those whom they know will give to
them and grumble in the giving."
"Come closer." whispered the Fir
Tree. "I have something to tell you..
"A woman came to the heart of the
wood yesterday," said the Fir Tree,
"and with her there was another wo
man.
" 'We must find the most perfect tree
In all the forest, for none other will
do.' said the first wouiau.
" 'Yes.' said the second woman, 'for
the child has uo one to bring Christ
mas Spirit to her. no relatives, uo
friends, no oue to en re.'
"They talked on and on until the
story of the little crippled child for
whom they were preparing a joyous
Christmas came out. She was nothing
to them, but she was alone and not like
other children.
"A party of men were walking
through the wood last Suuday." went
on the Fir Tree, for Christmas Spirit
had stopped sobbing now and was lis
tening intently.
"One of these men was tolling me
others about his aped fittlior, who
worked his lingers almost to the bone
In years pone by 10 give his boy ad
education. Now be is very feeble, al
most down the western slope, and bis
son—who will always be just :i little
bay to the o'U man is going back to
the little country village lo spend a
portion of iho holidays with hint and
lift the veil of loneliness from his soul.
He has planned some wonderful sup
prises for the lonely old inan away
back there in the country." ended the
Fir Tree.
"Oh. lias be!" exclaimed Christmas,
no louger a forlorn little tijrare. but fl
happy, happy spirit
"I am going away nest week to be
decked for the little crippled child."
laughed the Fir Tree when Christmas
Spirit stopped mid bis uiad dance of
joy. "And 1 am going across the whole
world, and I shall knock so earnestly
at the heart of every human being that
no one can fail to open wide the inner
doors to Cifrtstmas Spirit." called the
little flgnre of- Christmas Joy as he
danced away toward the edge of the
wood and the cities and towns beyond

PLANT A CHRI8TMA8 TREE.
A corresiwudent of the Cleve
land Plain Dealer offers a timely
and pertinent Ides that should
commend Itself, ta man; readers.
It refers to the use of Christmas
trees after the day's festivities
are over.
tn explanation of her plan she
offers the following »clipping
from Good Housekeeping:, ,
"An eastern.cjty. carried out an
Idea last year that might well be
Imitated by any. progressive or
ganization of women. After New
Tear's wagons went from bouse
to house to collect all the Christ
mas trees. These were taken to
tbe public squares. Sharpened
on the ends, they were thrust
Into the ground in artistic groups
and clumps of varying heights.
In some cases they act as wind
shields for the growing shrubs
and evergreens. In every case,
though but temporary tenants,
they make attractive, restful
beauty spot* for the eye. Com
pare this with the fate of Christ
mas trees in your neighborhood.
After a short week, of tinseled
splendor they are cften left in
the alleyways or litter up the
back yard for weeks."
This interesting question Is
added:
•'Certainly the Christmas trees
In the southwest corner of the
square are a great improvement
to it. and no one who sees them
can help wishing that they might
grow there all the year round.
They talk of improving this cor
ner. Why not plant some little
evergreen treee?"
Worth considering, isn't it?

I HAVE been looking on this even
ing at a merry company of chil
dren assembled around that pret
ty German toy, a Christmas tree.
Being now at home again and alone,
the only person in the house awake,
my thoughts are drawn back by a fas
cination which I do not caro to resist
to my own childhood. Straight in the
middle of the room, cramped in the
freedom of its growth by no encircling
walls or soon reached ceiling, a shad
owy tree arises, aud, looking up into
the dreamy brightness of its top, for
I observe in this tree the singular prop
erty that it appears to grow down
ward toward the earth, 1 look into my
youngest Christmas recollections.
'All toys at first I find. But upon the
branches of the tree, lower down, how
thick the books begin to hang—thin
books, in themselves at first, but many
of them, with delieiously smooth covers
of bright red and green!
"A was an archer and shot at a frog."
Of course he was! He was an apple
pie also, and there be is! He was a
good many things in his time, was A.
and so were most of his friends, except
X, who had so little versatility that I
never kDew him to got beyond Xerxes
or Xanlippe.
But now tlie very tree itself changes
and becomes a beanstalk, the marvel
ous beanstalk by which Jack climbed
tip to the giant's house.
Good for Christmas time is the rud
dy color of the clunk In which, the tree
mal-lng a forest of itself for her to
trip through with her basket. Little Hod
Riding Hood comes to me one Christ
mas eve to give me inforuiution of the
cruelty and treachery of that dissem
bling wolf who nte her grandmother
without making any im|>ression on his
appetite and then ate her after mak
ing that ferocious joke about his teeth.
She was my first love. i felt that if
1 could have married Little Red Hid
ing Hood 1 should have known perfect
bliss. But it was not to be. and there
was nothing for it but to look for the
wolf in the Noah's ark there and put
birn last in the procession on the table
as a monster who was to be degraded.
Oh, the wouderful Noah's ark! it
was not found seaworthy when put iu
a washing tub. and the animals were
crammed in at the roof and needed to
have their legs well sbnkeu down be
fore they could be got in even there,
and then ten to one they began to turn
ble out at the door, -which was but im
perfectly fastened with a wire hitch
But what was that against it?
Again a forest and somebody up in
a tree—not Robin Hood, not Valentine,
not the Yellow Dwarf: 1 have passed
these and all Mother Bunch's wonders
without mention-but an eastern king
with the glittering scimitar and tur
ban. It is the setting in of the bright
Arabian Nights.
Oh. now all common things become
uncommon and quite enchanted lo me!
All lamps are most wonderful. All
rings are talismans. Common flower
pots arc full of treasure, with a little
earth scattered on the top; trees are for
Ali Baba to hide in: beefsteaks are to
throw down into the Valley of Dla
inonds. that the precious stones may
stick to them and be carried by the
eagles to their nests, whence the trad
ers. with loud cries, will scare them.
All the dates imported come from the
same tree as that unlucky one with
whose shell the merchant knocked out
the eye of the genie's invisible sou.
But. bark! The waits are playing,
and they break my childish sleep.
What images do 1 associate with the
Christmas music as I see them set
forth on the Christinas tree! Known
before all the others, keeping far apart
from nil tlie ottiers, iney gamer nmnu
my little bod—au angel, speaking to
« group of shepherds in n (ieid; some
travelers, wiih eyes uplifted. following
a star: a baby in a manger; a child in
a spacious temple, talking with great
men; a solemn figure, with a mild and
beautiful face, raising a dead girl by
the hand; again, near a city gate call
Ing back the sou of a widow on tils
bier to life; a crowd of people looking
through the open roof of a chamber
where he sits aud lettiug dowu a sick
person on a bed with ropes; the same,
in u tempest, walking on the waters:
in a ship again, on a seashore, teach
ing a great multitude: again, with a
child upon his knee and other children
arouud; again, restoring sight to the
blind, speech to the dumb, hearing to
the deaf, health to the sick, strength
to the lame, knowledge to the ignorant;
again, dying upon a cross, watched by
armed soldiers, a darkness coming on,
the earth beginning to shake and only
one voice heard, "Forgive them, for
they know not what they do!"
Encircled by the social thoughts of
Christmas time, still let the benignanl
figure of my childhood stand unchang
ed! In every cheerful image and sug
gestion that the season brings may
the bright star that rested above the
poor roof be the star of all the Chris
tian world!
A moment's pause, () vanishing tree,
of which the lower boughs are dark to
me yet. and let me look once more. I
know there are blank spaces on thy
branches, where eyes that I have loved
have shone and smiled, from which
they are departed. But far above I
see the raiser of the dead girl and the
widow's sou—and God is good!
