said one of the cattlemen, “but I
can get some more in Chad run.
I’ll chip them in.”
He biought buck a little doll
buggy and a china doll wonderful
ly dressed, and a Noah’s ark full
of impossible animals.
“One of my girls is a boy,’’ he
explained, “so 1 can’t dig up but
one doll.”
The newspaper man produced
two measely little oranges from
bis grip, remarking that if he had
known what was coming he would
have bought a crate. “It’s the
best 1 can do for the babies,’’ h®
said, but the oranges were receiv
with suppressed delight.
The women were allowed to
contribute and one gave a little
lace handkerchief and another
contributed a silver thimble,
“I au’t got nothing but chewing
tobacco,” remarked one of the
cattlemen in an injured tone of
voice, “and 1 leckon that don't
go in this pot.”
“If it did I could chip in some
considerable myself,” said an
other.
“I ain’t got no kids—nor wife
neither,” said another. That’s!

“ Perhaps you could contribute
what a few toys would cost,”
timidly ventured the clergyman.
“Say, parson, you’re a brick I”
said the cattleman. I’d a never
thought of it. I’ll just chip in the
price of a steer.” And he tossed
a bill with 'wo “XV on it into
the little pile.
“I’ll see that raise,” said an
other.
“I'll have to stay,” said a third
“I’ll have to call for a ‘sight’,”

“God Mess all of you,” she said.
“Amen I”echoed the clergyman,
and the rest of the men looked
their thanks at him.
Then silence fell oyer all
A few hours later the passen
gers were awakened by shrill
shrieks of joy.
“Mamma, mamma! Wake up!
Santa did rind us !”
And such a scene of happiness
ensued that the beholders have
not yet forgotten it.
“Let us sing a song,” said the
clergyman.
In <t trained tenor voice he be
gan :
“Joy to the world,the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King,
Let every heart prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing.”
The clergymau and the women
were the only ones who knew the
words, hut the tune was recalled
by two or three of the men and
they joined in as best they could.
Just as the song ended a faint
whistle was heard. The harkeman
came stamping in a moment later
and shouted :
“Snow plow’s a-comin !”—Wm.

LOOK OUT
For Colds—La Grippe!
Protect yourself, and don’t trust to
Providence. Considering the harm
done, “neglect” before and after taking
a cold is a physical crime. You may
prevent a cold, or, if too late, you can
Insure yourself against the “after ef
ects,” for there is the greatest danger,
by using Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic. Few
die from Colds, or La Grippe, or Ca
tarrh. They die of the after effects.
These diseases all weaken, and to a
weakened body come flocking a host of
diseases that fasten on weak lungs,
heart, stomach, kidneys, and other
weak parts that we seldom think of.
The easiest and best thing to do is to
fortify the system so that you will not
catch cold, but if too late to do that,
then you must see that no lasting in
jury is done. Medical authorities all
agree that iron is the fighting elementof
the bloou euabling the system not only
to ward off disease, but to fight it after
Or. HARTER’S
IRON TONIC
is just the remedy needed, as it sup*
plies the blood directly with the iron it
requires to combat Cold9 or La Grippe.
Take it before, during, or after. If
taken in time, it will prevent; if taken
during, it will shorten the course; if
taken after, it will prevent all bad after
effects.
Women are especially benefited by
Dr. Harter’s Iron Tonic, as they seem to
suffer from the weakness of Colds and
La Grippe longer than men, and they
are particularly susceptible to the action
of a blood builder such as this is.
