to tho public to do Its Chrlst

ing is to bo dono early Christmas
shopping must bo dono early, tho
wisdom of doing both In good season
has novor been nioro apparent than
It Is this year.
Loavlng out of consideration any
regard for tho feelings, of tho store

not only to think soon but act soon
as woll.
All tho stores nro full of Chrlst
mns goods. Tho shopper today
will have tho pick of thu grentcst
variety, becauuo many utooks can
not bo replenished onco they nro
exhausted. Mako out your Christ
mas nut touny. Decide what you
want to got for father or mothor or
brother or sister or swcolhcnrt, for
Tom, nick una Harry, for Mary,
Jane and Suo, and go out and got
It.
Just stand nsldo and watch yourself
go by;
Think of yourself as "ho" Instead
of "I."
Note closely as in other men you
note
The bng-knecd trousers and tho
seedy coat,
Pick flaws; find fault; forget tho
man Is you.
And strive to mako your estimate
ring true
Confront yourself and look you in

Just stand usldo and watch your3olf
go by.
Interpret all your motive, Jiut cs
though
You looked on ono whoso alms you
did not know.
Let undisguised contempt surge

H, Clirlntinaa la coming again,

But tho oostllost gill may not glad-

What you hold in your hand may
clip from your hand;
Thoro is something bottor than
having.

And only by giving wo Uvo.

fonder, but that's not tho reason dressed with a shilling of sweet herbs
why a Coos Hay married mau stays ' BPIces aml basted with tho yolks

tises his vices is as big a liar ns
the man who boasts of his virtues.
