This is the season of the year wlen the
Frost King, all glittering with his icy cineter
and turban, sits proudly on his throne, the
monarch of all he surveys. It is the time
when winter stories, with stalking and very
active ghosts as heroes, appear, and in which
shriveled-up old men and fussy, nervous
women figure as entertaining characters
for the old as well as for the young. 1t is the
tirle when boarding schools throw wide their
portals and allow the precious store Of romp-
ing lads and blithe and merry girls to pour out
upon their respective homes away from the
arithmeticAl slate, the stubborn problems Of
the blackboard, the well-thunbed pages Of
Cicero, Ovid and Virgil, free from the ear
marked tones of Terrence and Plautus, for
quiet rest or rollicking pleasure amid the
happy ecenes of Christmas time. The story
of Robinson Crusoe cast away on the desert
isle, with his parrot and cat, and the amusing
adventures Of Philip Quarll with the mon
keys, are now in the greatest possible demand
among the fathers aud mothers who, belIev-
ing that the hard times have placed Santa
Clsus in an impecunious condition, have
brayely taken upon themselves the grave
responsibility OF acting as Dis substitutes.
Now is aleo the beginning OF the days
when the little weazen. faced match-venders,
With tattered clothes and ragged shoes, AMI
hair hanging down upon their shoulders, plod
YEARLY through our streets, pleading plant
lively with passers By to purchase of their
mesgre stock in trade. Down In the alleys
among the abject poor the evidences of want
and misery grow more and more visible as we
anproach our holiday festivities in the closing

Scene I.-Hotel. Time, midday. Fat hotel
clerk, smiling and brushing his diamond stud
with feather. Enter young man in hurry. He
writes on the register, "John Green, Harrisburg.
Pa" Young man-'tI shall take the room this
evening. Some bundles may be sent here for me
this afternoon. II the charges are not more than
stifhy bows and continues TO brush his diamond
stud with feather. Scene ll.-Time, one hour
later. Enter a small boy with heavy oblong
package. He struggles up to hotel counter and
says "a bundle for Mr.. Green. The charges are
$3.50" Clerk props his feather and permits his
diamond stud to dazzle the small boys eyes.
Then he takes the bundle and pays the small boy
$3.50. Scene lII.-Time, the following day. Fat
clerk scratches his head with the feather
and thinks of Mr.. Green and the small boy
and the $3.50. Then he opens the oblong bun
die and discovers brickbat in a paper box, with
a note saying, .'This is the best Russian clay
could ind" CLERK exclaims, s'Godelmltyr and
the proprietor Of the hotel debts him with $3.50.

hours of the old year. Down where decayed
and rickety buildings are pinched in and over
shsdowed by the massive and costly mansions
of the rich, where squalor and rags and
wretcheduess hold undlsputed sway, and
where fuel and food are the rarities of lie,
winter, with its cruelties and pains, now
comes with all it's cheerless presence. There

plenty has come TO bless, remember these
