I. Nolan of St. Paul, who vu the speaker at a banquet meeting «C tko Little Falls Board of Commerce a& the Buckman hotel Thursday eve-

j of last week. About 125 members 'guests were present. A. H. Ver­

with humorous stories and witti-for which he is noted. _ His {niir covered two subjects,

'Jieeds of America, V and "Minne-the Queen of States." In con­

nection with the first named subject Ike iF»i^ that the American people do

give their government enough at-•fiention, their right of franchise even

neglected. He said that the reports showed that only 49

jMar.cent of the voters cast their ballot in. the last presidential election, even fiuwgh the vote was a record one. Mr.

ULTIVATED

CHRISTMAS

_ TREE BY. CHRISTOPHER 0. HAZARD

j» l«lt.VBTZ*N NEWAtt* UNION* -

NCE there was a boy named Peter Mephibosheth Onon­daga Cologos Cadwalader. It was such a long name that he would get out of sight before his mother could finish calling him, so she shortened it into "Pete."

so wonderful a surprise would be as happy a thing for him as it had been [for her; but she could think of nothing jbetter, so that the Christmas celebra­tion began to Seem like a failure. Mr. Cadwalader, however, had a sugges­tion to make. He said that he thought that the tree had not been cultivated ienough, and that if Peter would invite ;some of his young friends in he [thought they might get a good deal of pleasure out of things even yet.

When the little company had assem­bled and Mr. Cadwalader had dis­tributed some packages that he had placed on the tree there was a merry ;time over the games that he knew how to play, and a wondering when

!he disappeared into the hallway, prom* ising to come back all dressed up in a iminute and take the three gifts oft 'that were left on the tree and see 'what they were and who they were for. ; They hardly knew the jolly man who came back, after a little, all in |red, with white whiskers and paper snowflakes in his hair and on his coat, as though he had come in out of a .snow storm. Little Dorothy Avery, the 'smallest of them all, jumped up and leaned on her crutch as she exclaimed: '"I know him, he's a friend of mine," mistaking him for Santa Claus, but the older ones did not correct her mis-take.

Whoever he was, he made them a, little speech and wished them a merry day and began to take off the three

I remaining gifts. ,In his speech he said that he felt

; sure that there jmust be a good ideal of happiness | on that tree, be-; cause God had ; made it, hope had ; planted it in the1

box, faith had wa­tered it, affection had filled it with

i fruit, but, as they jhad not yet had | the best things Jt h a t cultivation [could produce, he "Oh, Pete," or "You, Pete."

• At the right time of year Pete want-1 was now going to let them have them, ed a Christmas tree, so he went to the i | The first of the three gifts was a woods to get it.

The musical operetta "A Trip to "Wonderland," which was put on at

high school auditorium 'Thursday ••evening of last week by pupils of the "Sower grades of the Little Falls grade ^sdhuoals, proved a T ery pleasing enter­tainment to the large audience. The xadnldren had their parts well learned tand the singing and acting was very •^ood. The production was under the •Erection of D. C. Tuttle, supervisor of /•msie, assisted by the gTade school teachers. The proceeds will be used JFor equipment for the music depart-jwents in the grade buildings.

squirrels were furious and wanted to know where their Christmas would be If he took it. So the boy concluded-that no one else would want the ever­green tree, with nothing on it but cones, and took that.

Reflecting, however, that his tree did not seem likely to have anything on it worth while, Peter remembered

what an old wood­man had once told him about a wild tree that had responded won­derfully to culti­vation, and re­solved to see what could be done in his own case. .His mother smiled when he made his plan known, but of­fered no objec­tion as her son set the tree up in a box, supplied it

with earth and enrichment and wa­tered it from day to day. His frequent inspections did not much reward his hope; indeed, the tree seemed to be ^withering, and yet, on Christmas morning, there it was, all adorned and well supplied with gifts as beautiful as a barberry bush.

It was strange, however, that withal there did not seem to be much happi­ness among the branches. Indeed, be­fore long, Peter seemed as dissatisfied and fretful as though his tree had borne him nothing more than its wild cones. His mother felt a good deal disapponted, for she had hoped that

.When Dorothy had taken off the paper ;and undone the box there was another little box, and when she opened this ;box there was another little box in 'that* then there was another little; box, then there was another little box, then there was another little box, then ithere was another little box; and so jit went on until, in the last box, she | found a gold dollar. The second gift iwas a bayberry candle, with these [words on a piece of paper:-> Set me In the window some dark night.

Many will not see me, someone might.

' Madeline got this second present iand seemed very glad of it. Then the | third gift was taken down and pre-1 seated to Peter. It was only a note, jail done up in an envelope, but it (helped him to see why the party had imade him happier than he had been 'when he was all alone with his tree, (for he could not only read the note, jbut also the sweet meaning when it jsaid: . All trees are Christmas trees that bear

The care of love and love of care. ! To cultivate a Christmas tree

Light in the darkness it will give, : Its truth will blossom while you sleep,

: So Peter found set all that the old | woodsman had meant when he told

• him about cultivating trees.
