BEAD CHRISTMAS TREES
Novelty Invented by German Woman
Approved by Kaiser
If natures supply of Christmas trees
gives out as some people have feared
it might there will still be Christmas
trees as long as a German woman iu
this city remains alive Out of green
beads wire and tiny waxen ornaments
she constructs miniature trees which
have been thought pretfy enough to

ble They may
grace the court of
Ludwig of Bava
ria in his time
and to amuse the
children of Kai
ser Wilhelm of
Germany That
was when the In
ventor was living
in her native i
country Since
coming to Amer
ica she has made
them for various
well known peo
ple
One of the ad
vantages of these
trees she says is
that they are al
most indestructi
be bent crushed
packed into small compass and when
they are wanted again it is only neces
sary to straighten the branches oul
into the original shape
When the inventor was a girl fifty
five or sixty years ago in Munich she
went to one of those schools where
German girls are taught to do as her
daughter says everything mit the
hands It was having to make
wreaths out of beads that suggested
to her the notion of making bead
Christmas trees She set to work and
fashioned innumerable tiny loops of
green beads each at the end of a long
slender wire She bound the loops to
gether iu threes making trefoils and
the trefoils into branches and the
branches into a tapering trunk the
trunk being formed of nothing at all
but the individual wires massed to
gether Then she trimmed the tree
with candles and those tiny waxen fig
ures which the Germans are adepts at
making and lixed it in a pot of sand
and melted wax Her parents were
quite proud of it
o
one for th
Christmas festivities at
court
After coming to this country she sent
one to President Roosevelt and w
grieved and surprised to find that he
could not accept it
I expect he thinks h gets some r

Stocking
A Parody fay FRANK J BONNELLE
N llow dear to this heart Is the stock
ing of- chlldliood when fond recol
lection pcesents It to view On
Christinas St Nick came from frost -
whitened wlldwood with every
loved toy which my Infancy knew
The wide spreading chimney the
sled which stood hy It a horse and
some books I remember them all
a doll for my sister and baby house
nigh It and then the full stocking
which liungon the wall the Santa Claus
stocking the bountiful stocking the
Christmas morn stocking which hung on
the wall The well stuffed envelope 1
hailed as a treasure as early that morn
ing I opened my eyes and found there
the source of an exquisite pleasure the
purest and sweetest that nature supplies
How ardent I seized It with hands that
were glowing and back to my white
sheeted bed wTent with all then soon
with the emblems of love overflow
ing was happy in what to my lot
did befall the Santa Claus stocking
the generous stocking the Christ
mas morn stocking which hung or
the wall How sweet through
its round open top to explore
it as poised on my knee it
inclined to my view Not a
- hot tempting breakfast could
make me ignore it for
longer at most than a
minute or two And
now far removed from the
loved situation the tear
of regret will intrusively fall
as fancy reverts to my youths
habitation and sighs oer the
stocking which hung on the wall
the Santa Claus stocking the plethoric
stocking the Christmas morn stocking
which hung on the wall But grown people
find theres a later sensation as grateful as any they
felt long ago It comes when they witness the glad
exultation which on Christmas morning their own off
spring show And now dear old Santa Claus let me
petition your favor for children both large ones and
small Bring all the bright hopes to the fullest
fruition that rest in each stocking which
on the wall the wealthy childs stocking
the poor urchins stocking yes 011
every stocking which hangs
on the wall
hangs

Fortune For Toys For the Poor
The poor children of Pittsburg and
Allegheny are to benefit through the
expenditure of an estate valued at
31000 left by the late George B
Nutt The will provides that the es
tate shall go to the wife during her
lifetime and then is to be divided
among his children equally If the
Her father who children all die before their mother at
was director of the Hofgarten in iu
nich showed it to his royal master I
her death the estate is to be spent for
the purchase of gifts and playthings
and King Ludwig immediately ordered for poor children esneciallv rlmso in
institutions It was the wish of the
decedent that the money be expended
in small sums to distribute it over as
large an area as possible and benefit
as many children as possible
Origin of the Christmas Tree

when Eve plucked the fatal apple im
