TH1XIC OF CHRISTMAS.
IT IS time to think of Chrlstm.u
and tho Christmas present. Not
because it is necessary to liavo n
stocking full of presents to liavo a
lieart full of poaco and good will, but
Jjoeauso through tho years a very
jprotty custom has grown up of e
9UMl0
I pressing the spirit of Christmas by
a material symbol.
I The Christmas prosout has not oa-
raped tho locunt opldemlc of tho
muckrnlte.
I A movoment was stnrtod not long
n-xa to abolish Snntn Clnus on thfl
J Kfomtil thitt he was a Bort of mythi
cal Dr. Cook, and of recent yoars
there has boon a gront doal of crit
icism of tho Christmas prosout and
tho burden It Imposes, but through
It all tho genial features of our
rubicund Santy havo endured and to
thoso who havo l;opt tho ossonso of
tho yulotldo Benson in their hoarts
the giving of prosontB has never
pnl'.ed.
And why should It?
It is only thofco who lose the
Christmas spirit who aro bored wltn
Christmas tlmo.' It is tho man who
thinks he has to glvo tho Jones a
$5 prosout this yoar becauso they
gno' him ono worth $4. 9S last yoav
who Ilnds tho 23th of Docombor a
bore. It Is tho lady who finds her
Christmas spoiled because sho re
ceived a hand-painted parlor lamp
Instoad of a sealskin coat who wants
hor ehlldron to worship some civic
hero fathor than Kris Krlngle and
his roludoers.
In short, only thoso who havo
spoiled Christmas havo lost their en
thusiasm for It.
It Is uotnblo that none of tho chil
dren want Christmas abolished or
; Santa Clnus detbronod. And to ob-
sorve llttlo Wllllo savo up his pon
tiles to buy hl3 father a necktlo or
Suslo fovorlshly hldo her work bas
ket which Is to produco a nock scarf
for Aunt I.u Is to porcelvo tho otor
nal secret.
Thobo who keop soniothlng of tho
spirit of ohlldhood And each rocur
tlng Christmas season truly a season
f-f peace on earth and good will to
men.

Last night as I lay sleeping,
j Tlioro camo a dream so fair,
I stood upon n prairie
With floworB everywhere.
Tho treos woro thick with Jowols
And many a willow plumo
Waved wanton on tho branohos,
Hodowod with sweot perfumo.
A soalskln sacauo plantation
Hoso lordly from tho dirt .
And shrubs of tropic texturo
Producod tho hobblo skirt.
A mansion roso rosplondont,
With maids In ovory room,
And flxod electric cleaners
RRoplaced tho lowly broom,
Tho food was sorvod by soraphs,
Who novor learned to cook;
HecaiiBo delicious lunches
Woro ordered by tho book.
The children dressed In fabrics
That grew In mnglc spells;
While coolng-volced cadenzas
Roplacod tho lowly broom.
Tho "help" woro never haughty,
Tho husbands novor cross,
While o'or this smiling prospect
My lady-love was boss.
"What was this peaceful vision?
Where find wo such a llfo?"
I asked and then I listened
"Twas Heaven," said my wife.
A IjITTM: HOY'S I HKISTMASWISH
I lllto to bo a little boy
Almost all of tho yoar,
And all tho Joys of other boys
To tno aro very dear;
And one pair of shoo and stockings
Can bother ono a sight
If thoy'ro put on ovory morning
And tnkon off every night.
I
Hut, ah! when Christmas comes
along,
With all Its cold and snow,
And good Santa Alls our stockings
All hanging In a row,
I'd lovo to be a coutlpodo;
'Twould suro bo Jolly fun
To hang a hundred stockings up
Instoad of only ono!
St. Nicholas.
DON'T.
TJON'T malio costly presents to a worn-
an.
Tor If you do
She. being human.
Will 'think a darn site more of tho pros,
ems than sho will of you.
Act, then, the sage'a part,
Modest nrlceil and taw.
Then her sunny heart
win nutter round the presents for a
minute, then lly to you.
John Urnest Warren.
Also, why not do your Now Year
resolving early?
Remember! If you did not regis
ter You can still do your Christmas
shopping early
In tho morning.
Tho "buy-'om-early" plea does
very llttlo good at this late day.
THE STICKER.
TUG man who's liked
Is the ono who hiked
On the rough roadway to success
and smiled
A smile of cheer
As the goal drew near,
tVho has plodded ahead year after year,
Who neve; dared
As he forward fared
To an adveise luck to be reconciled.
A man like that.
Who's right, stands pat
On the cards he'B drawn In the game of
life
And calls each bluff,
For he's built of stuff
That w Ins, no matter how tierce the strife.
To him the lctory, forging along
With an upper Up that Is stiff and strong.
Ho whistles a melody, Blngs a song
And scorns to notice the countless throne
Of quitters who pass In a mad retreat,
lie has won his tight, and the triumph's
sweet,
Por he never has known the word "do
feat." -C. P. McDonald.
