SHE SURPRISED IlIM.--It takes the wo.
men to get ahead Of the men when Il
comes 10 giving Christmas presents. Mrs
F ] Miller was equal to the occasion.
Thinking Il would Oe fine to present her
husband with an elegant tailor made coat
and vest she put up job on him. lie
was beguiled into a well known tailoring
establishment by confederatcs Another
confederate Of the wife got to boasling
with him about which was the larger
around the waist, and other parts Of the
body, and before they got through with
the well known bridge carpenter they had
him all covered over with measurements,
and he simply thought they had been hav-
ing some fun. He got the clothes on
Christmas day,a perfect it,and complete
surprise, as well as a novel one, for most
husbands only &c, neckties, pocket hand
kerehiefs and cigar eases.
DoS'T DO 1.-THE following from the
Artorian Is very sensible. II is hit al
a custom of fabricating In black and white
that does great injustice to a community,
and Is no, a credit to the participants;
"There Is fashion In San Francisco. that
IL In danger Of being introduced in Astoria.
II Is a silly custom, and should not get
foothold here. II Is the habit Of putting
s., or S., or $40, a. the consideration 10
making out a warran,ee decd. Better stick
TO the good old way Of placing the exact
sum received IN the deed. IL looks more
like business. Tners i another fashion
that doesn't look we'll; and that is to put
n larger amount than i actually transferred.
The exact truth i best and no deed offered
for record should have line IN Il that isn'i
the frozen truth"

sothey we're this morning IN ali parts Of
the city. The town is full of "iranps' and
they were to be seen going In al directions
this morning from house TO house. begging
for something to eat. They have reduced
these visits to private residences to a sys-
TEN. They divide the town into districts
and canvass It with as much particularly
and skill as the ubiquitous book agent.
One Of the great problems of the day Is
what shall be done with The tramp. They
are increasing. alarniugly. II the public
continue to feed them this increase win
be largely accelerated To refcse them

manhood left to labor for living.
