Alegra and her mother busied themselves about the stove yreparing the breakfast, when suddenly there was a stamping of feet and a jingling of bells. Everyone flew to the ware room, and what did they see. Santa all smiling and jolly; a great big tree lit with numerous candles and glistening with gold and silver ornaments. They all stood admiring the tree when Joel spied a drum. "Oh! Santa, that drum is mine, aint it;" he screamed.

Mina looking from the bottom of the tree upward, saw her beautiful dollie. "I wants my baby Santa, I does, Santa can't I have my baby?" "Yes my dear, you may. It's a Dice one too. See? It opens and shuts its eyes. You just pull this string and it will cry You pull this one and it will cry Oh-0-o! Now my pet, lan't it the be-u-ti-fulest baby you ever see?" Meantime, Johnnie had discovered a little engine and train under and a pretty stag born handled knife.

Alegra had found a pretty blue serge dress; a new pair of shoes: a pair of gloves, and numerous other trinkets. Santa had carefully wrapped Mrs. Peterson in a warm shawl. When everyone was absorbed with their presents, Santa silently left the room. Pretty soon Clarence came in and what do you supdose he.

found. A nice volume of Shakespeare and two or three more books equally nice. When the excstement had subsided a little Mrs. Peterson told her children to whom they owed their Christmas. This was only the beginning of the Petersons Christmases.

The Peterson's Christmas. By May Kendall. So the children gathered around Clarence and he spun some of the most wonderful stories in their estimation, while Alegra washed the dishes and the mother worked lively upon her new lot of sewlag. After the work was cleared away and everything in order, Mrs. Peterson gathered her little flock about her and asked them what they would like for Christmas.

"Mamma, I want a whole lot of candy and nice things to eat," almost screamed Joel, hopping around the room. "Joel you are too noisy" reproved the mother. "Sit down and let's hear what Mina wants." "Now little Tootsy; what do you want," asks Clarence, taking up the little midget and placing her in the bigh chair. "O' les me see. I wants the be-u-tifulest dollie, and some nice dresses for her." "Now Johnathan," asked his mother, "what do you want." "Well I'd like to have a nice new jacknife.

I broke mine today trying to make a doll chair for Mina." "Alegra wants a new hair ribbon" piped in Joel who could keep still no longer. "No I don't Joel Peterson; I'd like to have a new calico dress." "Well son. what would you like," asked Mrs. Peterson turning to Clarence. "I want a nice book, a history or something like that." "Well let's get ready for bed and see will briug us." "Now mamma, Alegra has got to go to bed too.

It isn't fair to send us boy's up into that old loft, and let her stay up," complained Joel. "Joelle, you kaow mother woulnn't do anything unfair, and Alegra isn't going to stay up long; now run along and be up early in the morning." The younger children being tucked carefully in bed, the older ones commenced their work. Clarence brought in the tree and they stood it in the middle of the ware room. They fastened the sbining nuts here and there and the candles were fastened on securely, and then there was -Alegra's nice molasses candy. When Clarence and Alegra had finished their tree, they sat down 1 to admire their work and All the stockings.

"Now we will put small pieces of candy in great big pieces of paper 80 it will take the children a long time to empty them. Then Clarence, you will have time to get dressed as Santa Claus" said Alegra as she fixed nuts and candy and the nice whistles which Clarence had made for them to put in the stockings. They hung the stockings about the fire place, and then the mother sent her big boy girl to their beds. The house had just got' still when the mother heard the express man coming up the path. She hurried to the door and there he stood, putting from his exertions to get the box to the house.

He rolled it into the far corner of the ware room, wished Mrs. Peterson a "Merry Christmas," and was gone Mrs. Peterson then set herself to unpack the box. What a lot of toys. The poor mother shed many happy tears over the presents for the babies.

How surprised they all would be. At last her task finished she retired for the night. Long before daylight, the restless Joel was awake calling "Merry Christmas Johnie, wake up Clarence, you old sleepy head. I'm going down stairs and see what I. can't find." Down he came pell mell, and the other two boys following him.

Every one was up in a secoud. The children were busy with their stockings, Johnathan and Mina, sitting in a corper uudoing large paper balls while Joel was prancing all over the house eating his candy and blowing his Kiowa Notes. Kiowa Notes. PAGE (From the Journal.) Mrs. C.
