. GOOD DINNER FOR EVERY.
BODY.
The Universal Spirit of Goodwin that
Prevails on Christmas Day.

II would have been Il wild prediction
of the optimist three centuries ago that
,bo time would ever come when on one
d,v in the year everybody would have
. GOOD dinner. And yet it is almost
realized. The gospel of humanity has
almost reached that point. 1t is per-
hans 4 wastcful and excessive mode of
showing our humanity, but there is
,bis rood about it, that the feasibility
If accomplishing it on one day will
suggest the possibility of making at
l.s-l decent dinners more common to
nrople generally, and that when a man
has once tasted the pleasure of a prodi-
rnl meal. he may be induced to some
PERSONAL cxcrtion of industry and thrift
T. procure himself the pleasure again.
W. know by statistics that there is food
.rouoh to satisfy everybody if properly
distributed, and the lesson that it can
Ec distributed one day is a most i'm
nortant one. The danger, of
course. is hat it is in hui
man. nature to depend upon
CHARITY when once charity is accepted,
md so to lose the one priceless thing
,n n man, which is independence.
H,t the beauty of Christmas is in its
recognition of common humanity and
common dependence on something be-
yond humanity, and the charity Of it
!, NOT a condcscensiQn that can puff
ANYBODY up or hurt any mans pride,
hut a difuscd good feeling, and y
drawing together in a common fete OF
all sorts and conditions of men. Here
in the United States it is literally of all
sort, and colors, a commingling of peo-
nile under one privilege absolutely UNI
,arallcled. And to enjoy the Christmas

BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
Experiment Which Young Men Should
Try, and Prove the Truth of.

An Experiment Which Young Men Should
Try, and Prove the Truth of.
1t has become one of the standard feat
ures of humor to remark about young
men being attentive to the sisters of
some other fellow. and I have never
been able to see it in the light of a COM
pliment of the young man who neglects
his w sister for those of some other
fellow, and it is lone to the young man
whose sisters receive the attention Of
such a man, for, in the nature of things,
he is going to treat his wife as he treats
his own sisters. While there may be
sisters who are careless of their brothers
and give them no encouragement to act
toward them as gentlemen should, l am
glad to say that they are exception and
not the rule. There are no women in
the world who appreciate more the at
t%ention of a young man than sisters do
of brothers, and the average brothc:
can, if he desires, be an absolute mon
arch over his sisters, and they never dis
cover it. They make the most charm
ing slaves in the world, and they never
show the peculiar independence of the
wife, be she as much as she may the
vassal of her heart. The usages of So
ciety and humanity compel a man to
show a certain subservient Difference to
his mother and wife, but the sister has
no such claim. She is his sister, and
even the ommon gallantry of the
stronger to the weaker sex is denied
her or the very ground of her relation
to him. That is the argument at least,
and society to a great extent recognizes
it. Therefore, if Il young man throws
aside his alleged privileges and treats
his sister as equal to his wife or mother,
and superior to any other woman, she
feels that he is the best fellow in the
world and she is not going to give him
second place anywhere. Young men,
if you don't believe what I'm telling
you, just try. it once and learn the truth
for yourself .-Merchant 71arelcr.
