ii T f ' ffliejlittle The C hrliimai aay ai comma, the Christmas eve drew near. Thu fm tree they were talking low at midnight, cold and clear, A.nd thi it what the fir tree said, all in the pale moonilght, 'Now, which ef us shall chosen be ta grace th holy night?" The tall trees and the goodly trees raised each a lofty head in glad and secret confidence, though not a word they said, But one, tlie baby of the hand, could not restrain a sigh. "You all will be approved," he said. "But, oh, what chance have I?" THE (JIIHIHTMAB AXOKIj AND BANTA C&AUS. "I am so email, so very small, no ono will mark or know How thick and green my needles are, how true my branches grow. Few toys and candles could I hold, but heart and will are free, And in my heart of hearts I know I am a Christmas tree.". The Christmas angel hovered noar; he caught the grioving word, And, laughing low, ho hurried forth, with lovo and pity stirred. He sought and found St. Nicholas, the dear old Christmas saint, And in his fatherly, kind ear rehearsed the fir troc's plaint. Saints aro nil powerful, we know, so it befell that day That, ax on shoulder, to the grove a woodman took his way. One baby girl he had at homo, and he wont forth to find A little tree as small as she, just suit ed to his mind. Oh, glad and proud the baby fir, amid its brethren tall, To bo thus chosen and singled out, tho first among thorn all! He strotched his fragrant branches; his little heart beat fast; He was a real Christmas treo ho had his wish at last. One Inrgo and shining applo, with cheeks of ruddy gold; Six tapers and a tiny doll were all that ho could hold. Tho baby laughed, the baby crowed, to seo the tapers bright; The forest baby felt tho joy and shared in the delight. And when at last tho tapers died and whon tho baby slept Tho little fir, in silent night, a patient vigil kept. Though scorched and brown its needles wore, it had no heart to grieve. "I have not lived in vain," ho said. "Thank God for Christmas evet" The First Christmas Card. Tho honor or the Christinas card Is ascribed fmiuontly to tho lato V. C. T. Dobson, an lingllsh painter. In December, IS 11, n iluto curlier than that given to any othor claim, ho was anxious to send some inoro novel Christmas greeting than that of n let ter to a distant friend, anil tho Idea occurred to lilni to tuako u llttlo sketch symbolizing the spirit of tho season. Tho sketch depicted In Its center a family party gathered around tho Christina! dinner tahlo raising glasses to tho health of absent friends. Un derneath were tho words "A Merry Christmas ami a Happy New Year to you," whllo on each sldo was a small or sketch representing an act of be nevolence. Mr. Dobson's card so pleased Us recipient that tho following year he designed another card, of which ho sent lithographed copies to u largo circle of friends. Other artists followed, his example, and tho circle sending out Christmas cards grow wider and wider until an enterprising printer saw tlioro was money In the business, ami within n few years from its birth tho Christmas card was to he seen In hundreds of simp windows. O.f3,ualvo""""?ltt- i A TRAIN HOLDUP By RYLAND HELL When I wub a boy I lived beside a railroad. Thorn was n bridge across the river near wttoi'O I lived, anil I "pent a gront deal of my time on this bridge holding a flshpole over the wa ter. I perched myself on an abutment i where I would not bo interfered with by trains, and when any of the eugi ' necrs I knew came along I wouw wave my baud to him. getting a nod In reply. Thero wna a time, when 1 was about sixteen years old, that a train wont over tho bridge carrying an express car. The engineer was Josh McCor dy, the best friend I had among the brotherhood. Whpn I was a llttlo kid playing about among the switches where tho men were making up trains ho had Jumped from his cab and yanked mo out of tho way of it car thnt was being hacked right on to me. As I grow older 1 appreciated wlint he had done for mo nud loved him ac cordingly. And ho loved mo tho more becauso he had done It. In .Inly and August I was usually fishing on the bridge nearly nil day. Ono morning when Josh McCurdy's train was coming I hoard a shot and saw his train slowing up. Hut It didn't come to a full stop till tho engine and forward cars had got on to the bridge. I saw the heads of passengers thrust out of the windows of tho coach es and other evidences of excitement which convinced mu that something serious had happened. Tho shot I had heard, together with tho fact that I knew tho train always carried an express car, suggested to mo that tho train had been held up by robbers. Iloyllke, I was curious to see what was going on, besides being solicitous about my friend tho en gineer. So, Instead of keeping out of tho way, 1 went as fast as I could go over ties and stringers toward the train. I was not likely to bo noticed coming from the bridge; but, feeling sure that my Inference that robbers were at work was correct, as 1 neared the hissing engine I dropped down on to some supports below and made my way along them. I was now over the bank, which sloped from tho abutment to tho river. I couldn't see what was going on In or about tho train, but ono thing 1 saw that Net me to thinking. The locomo tive and one car either the baggage or express were on tho bridge, and I could look ut from under them. In those days the old fashioned coupling had not completely passed out of use, and the ears of this train were linked together Willi a pin. A man was hammering with his (1st at tho rear door of tho ear above me, but suddenly turned nud ran down the steps and disappeared from my view. I was not slow In divining that he had gone for something with which to break In the door, an ax or a tie. There right over my head was the link that held the car to the rest of the train, hanging loose. A plan of action Hash ed through my brain. Catching a stringer, 1 pulled myself up to where I could reach the pin and pulled It out. Then, lowering myself. I made my way with a boy's agility to tho cab of the locomotive and, climbing tho steps, found myself In it, alone. Opening tho valve, I let on .steam, slowly at first, but rapidly Increasing tho power till I was well under way. I expected to die for my act, for the robbers could Jump on to tho rear plat form of tho car, come forward, and I was defenseless. Tho reason they didn't do this was that they had been told off for different purposes. Two were going through tho cars robbing the passengers, one was guarding the engineer, who had been taken from his cab, and tho fourth man was hunting for a tie with which to batter down tho door of the express car. Ho did not see that the car was moving till It had gone too far to be reached, walking as he would have had to do on ties, which In a slow process. I crossed tho bridge with my engine and one car and was well on the other sldo when, hearing a sound behind me, I turned and saw the express agent coming over tho coal In the tender. Ho had taken In tho fact that his car had been hauled away and when ho saw mo at tho throttle Informed mo that In some mysterious way 1 had saved tho treasure for which ho was icsponslble, as well possibly as bis life. Without a word he threw his anus about me and hugged and kissed me till I thought ho would smother me. Then ho tired a few short questions at me, to which 1 tired back as short replies, and the story was told. Wo had no fear of being followed across tho bridge, so, pulling up at a station not far beyond tho river, wo telegraphed for Information. The news came that tho robbers had mounted horses and galloped away. It was some lime, however, before wo re ceived an order to hack across and, when wo did, found that no lives had been lost, though tho robbers had got considerable plunder from tho passen gers. Jack McCurdy set an example by hugging me. and pretty much every ono present followed It. I was sent for by the president of tho road and asked what I wanted as a reward for my feat I said 1 wanted preferment for Jack McCurdy Tho president smiled nt tills and said, "I think 1 can take euro of both of you." And he did. Jack hecamo a division Miporiutondeut. and a nuni'tor of a cen tury Inter I hccniiiu president of tho road.
