CALLING.

Most young men array themselves in
"pomp and vanity" on New Years day
and start on tour of inspection, the
etcourtesies of the season" according
them a welcome, or its semblance, at all
houses. Matter for conversation can be
reproduced indefinitely and thus mental
strain is avoided. The conventional call
is short and the subject first touched up
on Is the Happy New Year although the
caller or the victim does not care a rush
if the other has the small pox on the
morrow, provided the contagion does not
spread. While compliments are being
exchanged each is wishing the other at
Jericho or Bagdad or at the mouth of the
Lena River with Nordenskjold. But
still both parties to the fraud ''smile and
smile and continue to be villains" The
refreshments are brought out. The call
er is as full as Juck Falstaff usually kept
himself; the entertainer hates to 'swaste
her substance" on giddy young people
who have levied contributions on scores
of people through the day. The caller
thinks true politeness is shown in the
display of yoracious appetite and he
stores up fit of indigestion, while the
person called upon mentally observes
that ''that young Scroogs has a beastly
appetite" Scrcogs finally takes his hat,
gives utteraDce to few dreary common
places which are always followed by a
machine laugh, ''guesses ne must go" and
finds himself on the street very much to
his relief but still intent upon further
persecution through the agency of 'call
ing" Coffee, cigars and 'sgrnb, D." to use
vulgar but very expressive word, prove
too much for him and in the evening he
knows as much as an Egyptian mummy.
Scroogs is i'll natured about that time.
But he has been the subject of much
comment and the butt of considerable
laughter. He has made the LIST of Jan
uary mighty unpleasant day for him
self and the only compensation is that he
has assisted in making it SO for others,
Scroogs will soon die and leave no heirs.
