A Long Ago Kansas Christmas. 



of a lunch of cold chicken, bread and butter, and pumpkin pies. 

 About 9 o'clock we bade our friends good night and started for 

 home. I love to live over in memory the contentment and hap- 

 piness of that Christmas day, and the beauty and peacefnlness 

 of that moonlight night as we drove homeward across the 

 prairie.
