The golden treSSed youngny of the flock
Is poured into his ear; and on his knees,
Eager to pirate, doth she wee fairy, sit,
The household darling Of a score of hearts.
In yoader snug armchair sits Grandnamma
Whilst ten-year Tolmy steals beside her knee,
Knowing full well, tie bright eyed saucy rogue
The hidden soft SPOT in the old danes heart;
And With lovir; half r=gretful gaze,

AN IDEAL CHRISTMAS.
Events of a Day Which Made MIR. scris-
E!es Tired.

E!es Tired.
It was Christmas day; ANYBODY could tell
it; sleigh bells rang out more crisp and clear
than usual; the sun was brighter, the air
was sharper, men stepped more briskly along
the streets, the chimes sounded sweeter; the
sleigh bells tin:led more merrily, and il that
wasn't enough to convince the most skepti-
cal. he could look at the heading Of the
morning newspaper
''IIa!" cried Mr.. Scrigg,es as he limped
out of bed; beautiful dayi beautiful; and,
indeed, Christmas; Mrs Scriggles isn't awake
yet either; I'll get ahead of her this TINA

''Scrigges, would like to have IS to give

from last nightY'
Certainly, I kept sos exclusively for
Christmas I'll leave the five Oh the dressing

He skipped gayly down stairs just in time
to meet the new up stairs girl
"Good mornin', Misther Scriggles, Merry
Christmas and Christmas gift"
Certainly, Bridget, here's couple Of dol
lars for you"
The cook was just emerging from tho
kitchen when he arrived at the door,
'Christmus gir, Massa Scriggles"
"CertaiIly, Arabella; here's 50 for YOU
Breakfast was eaten and Scriggles presented
his wife with a bonnet which she said was
horrid, and she gave him a cane to add to his
collection, which numbered something over
a dozen.
Ho then TOOK the street car down town.
''Mornin', Massl ScriGgles," said his boot

Office boy in a CHEEKY, holiday tone, which
was good for 81.
"Ah, good day. madame" said be to Tho
lady whom he found seated in his chair.
"Merry Christmas to you, I'm sure"

Mr. Scriggles said certainly, and handed
her the money.
The janitor and two scrub ladies also mads
successful calls. He had to compromise with
the latter on so cents apiece.
At about o'clock Mr.. Scriggles concluded
to start for home. As he reached the side
walk he felt in his vest pockets, then In hia
trousers pocket. A slight look of annoyance
crossed his face.
MERRY Christmas said CHEEKY voice.
"Oh, how are you, Brown; yes, to be surA

That Telegraph Pole,
lewiston Journal.

Lewiston Journal.
Struck a queer old fellow up
country said one of the men who
planted the poles for a new telegraph
company in this State.
He first came across us about two
miles from his house as he was driv-
ing home from the village.
Says he, Coming up my way with
them air??'
s Guess so, said I.
9 Wal, don't yer tech the sile alon Q
my fence. Wouldn't have one 'er
them poles planted 'erlong side my
premises for a hundred. Spite the
looks OF every thing.
II told him that we would see
about it and he rode away swearing
bloody murder. Well, we got up to
his farm late the next day, and il it
WASH q dirty mean place then I'll
eat a -oil OF wire. Blinds off. barn
caved in, old pung canted up in the
front yard, oh, it gave me a pain.
Old Particular was there in full war
paint. He cursed and blew and
threatened when we began to set a
pole In his door-yard. But we went
ahead with the biz and left with the
earache This man said he'd never
sleep till he'd chopped the old
CALLERS down and he wouldn't eat
till he'd used the wood to cook his
grub.
Il laughed when I drove down by
that house lew days ago, about a
year after we planted the poles. 1t
looked as though old huffy had be
come pretty we'll reconciled to that
outrage
His wife had hitehed clothes
line on to that pole aud he had used
it for the corner post of a shelter
shed. Then on t'other side he had
nailed cleat and hung up a bush
scythe and mud hoe: a calf and a big
sheep were hitched to it. He had
some boards, some iron rods and
bolts lying near and as near as
could judge was getting ready to
swing q gate on the much enduring
pole. Above bellishments on the
pole two signs. 'ShoTes for Sale and
'OrktiOn next TeWsdaY.'
IL called the kicker out of the tie
up and informed him that we should
move the pole, and as I hurriedly
drove away l hearn him shouting,
Why, then to gosh t all Joos'lum

A Mans Ideal of Woman.

Said an eastern man of fashion the
other day: To my mind the judicial
woman is a blot on the face of
he universe. We don't want
women who can reason and work
things out. We want dear, delight
aful, frivolous things who will float by
us in butterfly fashion, making us no
end of trouble and inducing us to be
willing to Kill each other for their
ssakes. The time when woman was
at her best, TO my mind of thinking,
was in the middle ages wnen she sat
up in a window of a turreted castle
t brew her handkerchief down to one
knight and a hated rival rushed at
him as he grasped it, and they flew
at each other and knocked their tin
hats OFF, the hated rival was stretch
ed out stiff and cold, and the maiden
IN the turret applauded her gallant
knight and believed that hehad done
we'll. The judicial female is a mental
hernaphrodite.

Had No Car Fare.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, was put
off street car in San Francisco be-
cause he did not happen to have
nickel in his pocket to pay his fare.
The story OF the incident travelled
through the west, and his friends in a
spirit OF humor and friendship had a
gold headed cane made, which con-.
tanned in the handle compartment
sufficiently large to store one hundred
five cent nickels.
The simple pressure of the thumb
releases nickel, and another slips in
to place ready for use, like the cart
ridges in a magazine gun. On the
handle was engraved United States
Senator j. P Jones, with the best
wishes of his Utah friends The
cane was formally presented to the
senator recently by ex- Governor West.
of Utah, in the presence of a number
OF senator's and Representatives.
