Kills Two Birds With One Stone
Enjjagement Ring for Christmas
Present.
H'ORK opening the slight
Christmas token l have
brought you, MIkn Clara,"
mild Mr. MacNerve, ns he
look from bin Inside pocket
a small package nnd handed It to the
young lady In question, "I think it
best to acquaint you, In my Imperfect
wny, with tho state of my feelings.
To come to the point In as brief and
prnctlcnl a manner as possible, sparing
you nil tlfe unnecessary details, I mny
ns well tell you nt once thnt I love,
you. From tho moment that I first
met you I was fully awnie that this was
Inevitable. Tho more I- sot my mind
against It, the more I struggled to con
tool myself to he strong the more
hopelessly I became Involved. You
will naturally ask at once why I
should struggle against a passion
which Is admitted by all to be the
source of the greatest happiness
known to humanity. But I could not
rcgurd the matter In a selfish light. It
was done, Miss Clnra, because I havo
doubted all along whether n man In
my clrcumstnnccs had It In bis power
to mnko a girl like yourself, whojins
been reared In such luxury, entirely
hnppy In the new and changed con
ditions that matrimony lends to. Was
It right In mo, I said to myself, to
Jeopardize your happiness by asking
you to share tho lot of one, who, while
his present salary Is a fairly com
fortablc one, Is not at tho same time
prepared to say positively that ho will
succeed? I have now put the enso
before you. I know you to bo a sensi
ble girl, and one whoso Intuitions I
am sure will lead you aright. After
this brief explanation I beg of you
therefore to look nt my gift, nnd, If
four heart tells you to do so, accept
It from tho tnnn who loves you nbovo
nil others."
Hastily breaking tho seal the young
girl be addressed gazed for a brief
Intcrvnl at the beautiful object that
lay In her hnnd. Then advancing
swiftly t where lit- stood sho threw
her nrin.s around the neck of the man
who had so worthily won her, ex
claiming with n ghul cry:
"Dearest, how enn I doubt you I
Any man who is cute enough to kill'
two birds with one stone by giving a
girl nn engagement ring for her Christ
inns present cannot help but succeed 1"

Youngstcrs Like Presents That Af

of Educational Nature.
r IS to he wondered If the
small boy's taste and teni
pernmont are reully and
truly considered when buy
ing gifts thnt are meniit to
appeal to his Inventive mind, or wheth
er we simply purchase for him some
toy or object of entertainment which
we In our never-falling Judgment think
fit 'that ho should have. It happens
oftentimes that the boy who would
give hair his little kingdom for the
IIumpty-Dumpty circus that some
other small youth received ns his share
from the Christmas puck receives a
necktie, u pnir of gloves and books,
nnd vice versa. With the host of
wonderful Inventions for the enter
tainment and education of childhood,
why not study the boy's bent and give
him something with which to develop
his bent?
One boy, In fact many, would prize
a bo. of tools, and these very desirable
outfits may be had in any size desired;
another lad of the spirited age of ten
or twelve, would like a football and n
suit to piny in; the mcchunlcnl mind
.lust revels over the mechanism of a
woiu'lerfuly constructed railway, a min
iature aliplnne, or just a sim
ple engine that can be made to run
gives hours of pleasure; then there Is
the popular pushmohllo, the wonder
ful Joy eveiinstlng, while snow and
Ice lasts, sled nnd Ice skates. If tho
young mnn Is a collector of stamps,
large packages of foreign postago may
be had. atul the nearest approach to at
tending a moving picture show Is to
give tho boy n postenrd projector with
which he can have a picture show of
his own and Invite the other boys If he
wants to.
To these few suggestions muy be
ndded games, boy scout stories, numer
ous articles of wearing nppnrel and
possibly a wairh, an Indian or some
other mnsquerndo outfit, n wigwam
nnd so on through nn Indotermlnnte
list, but give him something ho wnnts.
