"The agonies I suffered | from stomach trouble made me al- | most wish I was dead many a time. | In al those long years of suffering, | I haven't known what it was to en. | Joy a meal, and have gone for days | at a time without touching real food, | because I was afraid of the pain that | I knew #t would bring me. Even a | plece,of dry toast would upset me so | that I would be in misery for hours, | and when I tried liquid food, it | would sour on my.stomach. When I would try to eat, my food would feel Mke a rook in my stomach and | would sour and form gas that rose | up in my throat and almost cut off | my breathing. Pains.all through the pit of my stomach sometimes kept me awake at night, walking the floor, and I finally got to 'the place where I was so weak and nervous and run down that I couldn't even dress myself. When I would try to dress in the moming, I have fainted away many a time, as I would be so weak that I couldn't stand on my feet, If it hadm't been for my two daughters I don't know what I would have done, &s they had to take care of me and the 'house too. "The first bottle of Tamlac didn't soom to make much improvement in my condition, for I had suffered so long that shy troubles were hard to reach. 1 began to feel like eating after the second bottle and as soon as I could eat and digest my food I felt myself petting stronger. I kept on until I have now taken four bot- tles and it is remarkable how I have improved. The pains through my stomach have disappeared entirely and the gas has quit forming.

Mr. Gorden lived in a iiffle log house alone. He was seemingly a poor man, and Well few friends. He did not go out much, but stayed at home and read much. Not far from Mr. Gorden's house was another small home. In it there lived quite a large family. The old- est child was a boy named Tim. He Tim had been a, cripple all his lifetime as the result of a fall when be wag yet a small baby. He used to walk around by means of crutches. His mother felt very sorry to see him not able to run and play like other child- ren, but they were poor peoplé "and could not afford to let him have an operation. Tim was about the only one in the village who ever thought of visiting Mr. Gorden. He used to often go and talk with him. Mr. Gorden seemed to enjoy the boy's company, although he did not seem to like children. bt was the day before Chrigtmas, and Tim was very much excited poe: paring for Santa Claus. In the affer- nbon he went over to see Mr. Gorden, and asked him if he had his stocking ready to hang up. Mr, Gorden an- swered, "Nonsense child, who do you think would put anything in my stocking?" Mr. Gorden said this in a very harsh tone, so Tim did not continue, but soon went home. Later on in the evening Tim again came to see Mr. Gorden to ask him to come and have dinner with them the next day. When the boy came to the house it was locked, and he con- cluded that Mr. Gorden had gone to the village. Tm was thinking how nice it would be to hang up one of Mr. Gorden's stockings and have a surprise for him, With this object in view he crawled in through a win- dow and went at.once to a large box in the corner of the room, where Mr. Gorden kept most of his belongings. He began taking out the contents until he came to a stocking. When he went to lift it he found it" very heavy. This made him curious to see what was in it, so he looked and found it full of gold. He was so amazed at the sight of the gold that he did not hear or see Mr. Gorden, who was at that moment standing begide him. Mr, Gorden was very angry, and made Tim promise not to tell anyone what he had seen.

Then his lips fell on a window full of toys.and ne longed to take some of them home, but, no, he simply 'could not. . Suddenly a thought struck him. A few momgnts before he had heard a woman asking in a store for holly, and he had seen her come out with a disappointed face. He knew where holly grew in abundance. His sturdy legs carried him quickly to a woods near his home. He took from his .pocket a knife and some cork and set to work. In about an hour he had all-the holly he could take. From house to house he went, and at every door e was greeted with delight. In a little while he was thrdugh, and doming to thd Toy store, sat on the steps and found he had one dollar and ninety cents. Out of this he gave the fifty cents for the sausages. After looking around, at last he picked on a book full of animals for Terry, a toy for Jimmy, some paper dolls for Mary and Kitty, and a toy lamb on wheels for the baby. This amounted to fifty cents. Now there was mother. On this question he was doubtfui. Then a warm scar! caught his eye. On it was marked ninety-eight cents. The old store keeper saw the look of disappointment on his face, and told him he could have it for ninety cents, He went home very, very happy. When he reached there lie found that all the children bad gone to bed. When he entered his mother said, "Paddy, dear, I have been looking for ye. Where have ye been?" "Hush; mother, I have some presents for the kiddies," was his answer. With a light heart and a tear of joy she started to fill the .five stockings, which hung down behind the stove. She put in the toys and added some apples, which she herself had bought from her earnings. The next morning the five happy children opened their socks, and a tear came to the mother's eyes as she felt Paddy putting the scarf around her neck. She handed him a pair'of mittens that she had been given by one of her customers. Dinner soon came on, d a very, very happy Christmas 'was spent by the O'- Leary's. --CECELIA BURKE, Form I.
