LOGAN, UTAH, L, eaily in the morning before Christmas Eve. So many things that cannot be done before, must be finished before night. On this particular morning I was up with father at five o'clock.

I Get Him come follow me! Christmas morsel I have for thee.) It seems even now that I was specially favored that day. To my surprise, grandma asked me to help her feed the cattle for the night. This was a favor. Grandma would not have the children follow her to the barn on Christmas Eve. She had special things to do, and would not be disturbed. I had heard something about it from father, but not really what took place. She instructed me, however, not to talk to her. This is what happened. As she gave each animal its feed, something better than usual, she said in all earnestness: "Eat well and thrive well, tonight is Christmas Eve. Grandma was A absolutely sincere, and for this sincerety I respect, her to this day. In mean time, father had been to the store, and among other things he had bought a kerosene lamp, a surprise to us all. I well remember how much better light it gave than the tallow candle. Then came the bathing and dressing for the evening meal. All had something And then new for Christmas. came what I had waited in suspense over all day. Father had bought a primer for me. I still have it, and it had been decided that grandpa should be my first instructor. Accoiding to custom Christmas Eve was the very best time to start learning to read. Consequently, things seemed to be in my favor. Grandpa took me on his lap, and the instruction began. He sounded each letter before me, and I repeated- After two or three tirne he asked me to sound them alone This I did, but made a mistake on d and e. Having made tiie same error several times grandpa stopped me and proceeded to explain the difference. Said The d is more hump he: backed than the e. That, helped, and next time I read the letters correctly. Beaming with joy, I shouted to mother, who was in the kitchen: I know it! I know When mother came in, it! grandpa said to her: The boy will be a good reader Marja. He changed chew, spit twice, and blinked his eyes, a sure sign that grandpa was pleased. With the evenfng meal, the holidays began. The setting of the table had its special style that night. In one end were placed several loaves of bread in a row so as to form a triangle. The loaves, round and somewhat flat, were made of rye and wheat flour. The sweet, bread, with raisins inr was a holiday specialty, and so were s. various kinds of cakes and Next to the bread stood the candles, also in a row. The menu consisted invariably of rice mush sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, in the center a bit of butter. After the mush came the pork rib roast, sometimes fish. Potatoes ana gravy, vegetables, pickled herring and apples. The liquid refreshments consisted of home made beer, whisky, coffee or tea. The religious atmosphere during the meal was prevalent. A hymn, suitable for such occasions, was sung before the meal. At the close, Luthers immortal hymn, written on his memorable way to .Worms: A mighty fortress Is our God; was sung with fervor and devotion. Mother led in the singing. After th last verse, grandma leaned over to grandpa and said tenderly: God only knows if we are here next Christmas Ola. Yes, God only knows." came the reply, perhaps it is tiie last Jane. It was his last. He passed to a better world the following summer. God bless his memory. He was an honest man. So in my memory the scenes of this particular Christmas Eve linger more vividly than any other, because grandpa taught me the alphabet, and it was his last Christmas. nick-nack- f Mstbtri! reduce year family ColdsTax uh the Vick Plan for Better Control-o- f in your Home.
