canGy-stofe Christmas-eye to buy boz OF
candy for the children. He made his purchase,
and. puttiog on his glasses, picked up the box
and started for the door. when South-side
called out, '' Hold on, there,my friend, you have
got the wrong box!" I beg your pardon" said
tho Wast-side man, 81 but this is the box paid
for" '.oh' 20, it is moi, paid for that
ssr poi ssa hs would ,eavs eh' it to-
the proprietor Of that wasn1 his box Tho pro-
prietor decided against him. as the South-Side
man WAS regular customer. Then tho West
Slider called the other man q liar, and got
knocked down for it before lie got to the door.
as he (tbe stotekeeper) wasn't as large man as
the South -s,deE, he started for him, and WIS met
by boz of gum-d1ops. which ruined complete
set Of e18 teeth. Then the West-sider spit out

He was just climbing over the show case when
tho South-Side man grabbed him Dy the coat tails

mels. Then the Weat-Sider began to think that

Of tie store with an orange box around his neck

thinks that the custom of wishing every ono
