Holiday Goods, and where to Buy
Them.

Amek0. -
Ont week from to-day is Christmas
merry Christmas-the day Of all days that
is looked forward to BY old and Young
alike with pleasant a~nticipations ; a day in
which the business man forgets the cares
and dull routine OF every day life. and
joins with hearty zest In the efforts to add
to the enjoyment Of those whose support
or mainstay he may be. 1t is q day in
which matrons and maidens look iconf-
IDENTIFY for some token Of love or friendship
from those they love and cherish. A SIM
pie gift, around which clusters the recol-
l%ections Of a happy Christmas, will be pre-
served and cherished years and years after
more costly ones, given at other times, are
laid aside and forgotten. The children,
after a sleepless night, arise with the early
morn. eager to see what Santa Claus may
have brought them, and listen in silent
W to fairy tales concerning that old gen.
tleman's antics. The foundation OF many
q good life is laid on this day. The story
told to childish ears OF Chris born and
crucified on earth, remains indelibly i'm
pressed for all time. beeauseit is associated
with the pleasant memories Of this never
to be forgotten day. How many who have
wandered from the straight and narrow
path are stopped in their downward course
by the thoughts that Christmas Eve sug-
gest, and thousands, in camp and city,
arise with the sun resolved that in the flu
ture they will lead o better and 9 nobler
life.
