A Wisconsin clergyman has been ask ing this question of leading men all over the country, and the answers, as analyzed by ('banning Pollack for the American Magazine, Indicate that most of tbe desirable possessions In people's lives cost them nothing In money. A list of fifty such valunhle pos sessions, for Instance, ahowa that 43 of the fiO had no monetary cost. The three leaders are: Health, love of work and cnpaclty for It; ablliEr to look any man In the eye.

But already the 1 B J atmosphere of the holiday yf 1 season seemed to cover the gQU&LJ city. Paul Iiulner felt It us 3Wrj". he boarded the street car that took him home each -** evening: already men and women were loaded down with pack ages that had all the earmarks of Tuletide gifts. There was something about Christ mas that always thrilled Paul; he even liked to repeat the name over and over to himself. He often wished that be might be selling toys and things st Christmas Instead of being office boy st the big lumber concern where be worked. "Gee, mother!" he yelled as he went In the door; "the Daily Mirror Is giv ing prizes for the best decorated homes at Christmas. Wouldn't It be great If we could win one of them?" "But, Paul," Mrs. Italner spoke as If she hated to throw cold water on his enthusiasm, "you know we can't attord to do anything of that kind. I?I only wish we could for your sake," she add ed. "Maybe nest year?" Paul looked around the sparsely furnished room before replying: "Nev er mind, mother," he said, "for the time. I forgot about things. Darn money, anyway; why does It nlways have to block the way when we want to do something we like!" "It?It doesn't always block the way, Paul; In fact, most of the time the ab sence of It Is an Incentive to do big things. If every body had money many of the great deeds that have thrilled the world never would have been ac complished. And?and, Paul, don't you think we have been fairly happy without a lot of It?" She looked anx iously Into his face aj she put the guestlon. Paul wag his old happy Self when he replied: "Bet your life we have. Why, all the fellows say they'd rather come to our house than anywhere,else. And?and, mother. If dad had lived we could have been as well off as the rest of them?" In the hours that followed Paul seemingly forgot about the newspaper prise, but tils mother did not That ulght after he had retired, she sat. down In the little living room and pom dered the matter over. Was there any way that she could help blm to carry out his desire? What a happiness It would be to give him the Joy of com peting In the contest! Suddenly she started from ber chair and a smile came over ber face. Her thoughts had drifted back through the years; back to childhood days. She remembered out on the farm how her mother had taught her to fashion many beautiful Christmas decorations out of scraps of tinfoil and colored paper. Always there had bpcn a box In the attic where everything of this sort had been stored away. And. as Is often the case, the things we do In childhood stay with us; so she herself had continued to save bits of paper and other things as her moth er had, and now there was a huge box of It stacked away In the closet. Per haps out of It she could fashion some thing that would enable Paul to enter the contest? For a whole week two busy persons worked across the table from each oth er every evening. Carefully small rolls of tinfoil and rolls of green-and red paper were smoothed out and fashioned Into Christmas decorations. Out of the discarded pieces of silver Had tha Earmark* of Yulotldo Gift* paper and tinfoil a Croat gleaming: ?tar began to take shape, a star thai seemed to All the whole room with lti radiance. for. from the moment thai mother and son began working npot It. It seemed to them as If the Stai that led the Wise Men waa shlnlni again, from the love and care thrj had pot Into Its making It seemed t< be taking on real life, and all oncon ?clously their voices grew low am hushed gs they worked upon It. Ant ?lowly from the red and green pape letters were formed, hoge. letter* aloni simple lines that told the message tha the angel* sang la the long ago. "Mother, It's going to be great!" Paul would say every now and then In his enthusiasm. "There couldn't be anything better than this; why?why this star seems as U It were really alive 1" But Mrs. Ralner knew of the many lavish and expensive decorations that were going up all over town. The simple things that they were fashion ing would probably show up very small beside such display. But she tried to keep faith with the faith of her sou. And even though they should not get s prize, this work that they were doing was bringing them a great amount of happiness; a deeper and finer spirituality than they ever had known before. They seemed to have caught the very spirit of Christmas! each day seemed to be bringing them nearer to Bethlehem. In a week the decorations were fin ished, and Paul took a ladder and set to Work. Across the high side wall of the house that faced the street he placed the letters that had been wov en from scraps of paper. When com pleted, they read: "Glory to 'God In the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Above this he placed the silver star which had grown to be so real. With long extension cords and three reflecting lights that they hud been able to hire from a neurby electrician for a small sum, the lighting system was complete. I'aul could scarcely wait until dark ness fell to. turn on the current. His hands trembled with excitement when "Mother, It'* Going to ft* Qr??tl" Anally the moment came, and hla heart almost atood atlll aa he looked op and saw the message that has thrilled the world for nearly 2,000 years stand out In bold relief. Above It the silver star - gleamed-brightly; to Paul It seemed more alive than ever. Through the days that followed mother and son thrilled as they no ticed the many people who stopped outside. Cars from all over the city drove by each night, and the com ments and praise that they beard Was as music to their ears. "Paul, do you think we could have got as much happiness out of this If we had lots of money and could bare bought anything we wished?" Mrs. Reiner Inquired of her son one eve ning. "No, mother, i don't," Paul an swered very quietly. "There wouldn't have been half the fun in It that there has been. I Just don't care now whether we win a prize or not. To see bow much beauty we have been able to make out of so little has been reward enough. And It has taught mc a lesson I will never forget Oh, moth er!" his voice grew excited, "you are Just wonderful?you arel Who but you would bare thought of such a tiling I But Paul did win a prize?to the aurprlae of his mother and himself he won the biggest prize the pnper had offered?J200. The simplicity of the design, the artistic skill that lore and care had woven Into It. the contrast between It and other elaborate deco rations entered, and the evident spirit uality of the message all lent their In fluence toward the final decision. Three times the Judges drove by to see It, and each time they grew more Impressed. There seemed to be a strange radiance about this particular exhibit that they could not account . for. They could not know tbat It came from all that had been put there by loving hands. But all were unani mous In deciding that It merited the flrrt and best prize. It Is doubtful If any two ever spent a more wonderful and Joyous Christ mas than Paul and his mother. They could scarcely credit the fact thHt their work bad been counted the best In the whole city. And the prize meant much to two who bad to acrlmp and save for so many years. To them $200 was a very large amount?It would buy many needed things. But over and above this was the thought tbat the thing they had fash ioned from almost nothing but faith and love bnd been considered worthy of a prize. And as they stood la front of the modest little home after the Judges had left and looked up toward the great, glistening star tbat seemed to smile down at them, they were both filled with the deepest and most won derful happiness that even Christmas can bring.

By CHARLES SLOAN RE1D \ j 11 (A by MoCIura Newspaper Syndicate.) (WNU Service.) ALECK McCALL wbs swinging along the mountain trail by long strides. His rifle lay acrosa his shoul der, and In his hand he carried a brace of pheasants. Aleck was happy. There was a new little cabin just half a mile ahead to which Aleck had car ried Polly Goodlron less than a month before, a bride Old man Goodlron, his wife and two daughters had moved in on the Cul lowhee range five years before, from somewhere over In Transylvania. Polly was the elder of the two girls; and some had hinted that she had left a sweetheart In the county from which she came, this being the reason she had put off Aleck McCall for so long, for UcCI&U was the outstanding young mountaineer on the range. Aleck's stride was almost a dance step, as he hurried towards home. "Polly, Polly, Polly, the purtlest gal In the world," he kept singing in his thoughts. Around the head of a little ravine, across the nose of a ridge, then along the crest of It he hurried until he had reached a spot where a huge boulder marked the fork In the trail. Here UcCall passed to contemplate In si lent Joy tne signt or me nine nome. Suddenly the young mountaineer grounded the butt of his rifle, and the brace of pheasants slipped from bis hand. In the twilight now gathered about the cabin door were to be seen a man and a woman. The woman waa Polly, but the man was a total stranger. He was dressed like a Westerner, Aleck thought, for he wore one of those broad-brim, heavy white hats which he had seen worn a few times by men retnrned from the West But the part that filled his ronl with horror was the sight of Pol ly In the stranger's arms. The embrace had lasted for .only an Instant; but In that Instant all of the joy had gone out of Aleck Mc Call's soul. He lowered his gaze to the rocks at his feet, and his fingers gripped his rifle barrel with a clutch that might have crushed any thing bnt steel. He stood there thng for some moments, then slowly the gun stock came to his shoulder, as once more his eyes turned townrds the cnbln lot. Polly and the stranger were standing only a little way apart now. Slowly, slowly, the rifle barrel came toward a level. Presently It steadied, with tbe barrel pressed against the boul der, and the muzzle of It trained upon the cabin lot The side of Aleck's face sank toward the firelock, and his finger clutched the trigger. Now his eye drew the bead of the rifle along the top of the barrel. A mo ment later a sharp "Crack I" rang ont over the ravine below. Before the cabin door, a hundred yards away, tbe stranger staggered backward and went to the ground on his back, his big hat flying before him. A scream went up from Polly's throat; and Aleck McCall set his teeth down hard upon his lower lip. Turning aside from the rock he retraced his way back along the mountain trail. -uoa, mar am I nounu- mure 1UI mc to stay around here for," he . ex claimed, after a long silence. Presently his shoulders began to sway from side to side, and hot tears stole from his eyes. "But I got to have one more look of her, afore I git out? I?I jes' got to!" he cried, no more than half alond. When he arose from the log, the darkness of night had gathered. Once more he set out for the cabin. When McCall strode down into the clearing about the cabin, with a qneer smile he noted the gleam of firelight from beneath the cabin door. He crept forward to the doorstep, never once turning his gaze toward the spot where the stranger had fallen at the crack of his rifle. He heard voices Inside of the house. "Polly, what yuh reckon's a keepln' Aleck? I shore am anxious to see what yuh got when yuh got mar ried." It was a man's voice speaking. The red arose to Aleck McCall's temples. Seizing the latch string In the crfbln door he gave It a jerk. The door swung Inward. Then, as his big form stood framed m the doorway, Polly suddenly threw herself upon his breast, her arms around his neck. "Brother Bill's come home, Aleck!" she cried, at the same time squeezing his neck so hard be hardly could breathe. The stranger came forward and thrast out his band. "Teah," he said, "I had a hard time a flndln' the old folks an' these kids." Aleck's eyas stared unseetngly for ? moment. "What yuh mean, Polly}" he asked. "Why, Aleck; yuh see, I never told yah about BUI, c'aae he had to run away six years ago. But thet scrape's been settled, so Bill's come back." "An' some galoot took a crack at me out o' the woods Jes* time I got here tonight," laughed Bill. "Uust ha' took me for a houn'." "I reckon," agreed Aleck. "Clipped a bole slap through muh hat" It was an hour later that Polly got a chance to whisper to Aleck: "1 shore am glad yuh's so jealous o' me, Aleck I I knowed Mt was you a? fired thet shot?ain't another mnn on the Cullowhee as could ha' dona it like that, aa' never dipped a hair." | Dangerous days AHEAD In midwxntu you and your children need reserves of sturdy resistance to ward off those nasty colds.

High Honors Accorded Fourth-Century Hermit The world laughed tolerantly at last summer's "Monkey Marathon," when small boys took to trees In en durance contests; and there could be no better proof that times hare changed. The Fourth century took similar performances more seriously. Consider Simeon Stylltes. He chained himself to a, grent rock on which he began to erect a column of smaller stones. Aided by his ad mirers, who rapidly Increased In numbers, he raised the pile, first to a height of 0, and finally to 60 feet In this last aad lofty situa tion, he endured the heat of 30 sum mers and the cold of as many win ters. He sometimes prayed In an erect attitude with his outstretched arms In the figure of a cross; but his most familiar practice was that of bend ing his meager skeleton from the forehead to the feet, and a curious spectator, after numbering 1,244 rep etitions, at length desisted from the endless account, Simeon died, without descending from his pillar, as a result of an ni cer on his thigh. The ulcer owed Its origin to pride, xne aevn, w uio ? story goes, assumed an angelic form and drew np beside tbe pillar top In a fiery chariot. He Invited Simeon to ascend, as bad ? Elijah, and the saint was ready. As he lifted his foot to step In, the devil spanked him cruelly and vanished In a cloud of sulphurous smoke. This chastisement to pride won for the hermit great repute and when, a few years later, his bones were borne to Antloch, the patriarch of the city, the master-general of tbe East, six bishops, 21 counts or tribunes and 6,000 soldiers former the guard of honor.?Cleveland Plain Denier. & For Domestic Peace Teacher?Yes, chHdren, one of the duties of the lord high chamberlain was to put the king to bed. ; Willie (who has observed things) ?And did he have to think up ex cuses to tell the king's wife? If you don't like a man's opinion let him alone. He doesn't want yots t< set him right. Swift feet get a man out of lots of scrapes that his tongue gets him Into. Camela and Locomotives One of the biggest concrete bridges In the world Is along the new railway lines being built through Turkey. Al though only a little over 500 miles long, the two lines penetrate difficult country, necessitating the building of about 2,000 bridges, large and small, and many tunnels. In Angora an average of 8,000 blasts of dynamite a day are used to dislodge the rocky wastes. More than 18,000 peasants and shepherds are employed on the work besides thousands of peasant women who labor as stone breakers. An oriental touch Is given to the pic ture by thousands of camels used to transport supplies as the building I progresses. i Scalp Is Heirloom The scalp of an Indian chief slain by her father is among the cherished possessions of Mrs. Burch Young, of Fort Worth, Texas. This heirloom and other trappings taken from the dead warrior passed Into her hands recently on the death of her mother, Mrs. Ira Long, widow of the former Texns ranger captain of frontier fame. Captain Long died in 1912 at seventy-one. The Indian chief was killed by Captain Long In a hand-to hand encounter In Lost valley In Jnck county, Texas, more than fifty years ago. Place for tho Amateur There Is a current tendency fos tered, I regret to say, by many of our clever writers?to scoff at the "ama teur" and the "dilettante."
