about them by ticking with their pocket knives

The Manuscripts Only Fault.


An aspiring author once presented to M
Biouve, the famous comic actor a manuscript
tied with red tape, and begged him TO give an
impartial opinion of the production. The
comedian promised to do so, and the Young
man-the comedian thought him very young
waited for six months and more before he in
quired as to his friends verdict
At length he put the solemn question:
Was the piece adapted for the srage?"
The comedian promised to let him know in
day or two.
Three more weeks went by Then again the
author importuned the actor and begged him
not to defer his hopes any longer

We close with few commentators Of tho
Christmas Festival.
George W. Childs, Of Philadelphia once said.
My greatest happiness at Christmas comes
from the fact that | am able to give happiness
70 others, aud 1 thank God that he has placed
this in my power" Contrast these manly
statements with the srasping greed which pur.
sues every penny for Itself and It's capacity for
helping the chaser only. Wealth IS a splendid
thing i'll its possibilities It's power, its leverage
for good. but there are qualities as much better
than money as manhood is much better than
drOss.
Charles Dickens said: al am sure I have
always thought Of Christmas-time when it has
come round, apart from the veneration due to
Its sacred name and origin, If anything belong
ing TO it can be apart from that-as a good
time; kind. forgiving charitable time; the
only time know Of in the long calendar Of the
year when men and women seem By one con-
sent to open their shut-up hearts freely. and to
think of people below them as,if they really
were fellow passengers 70 the grave. and not
another race of creatures bound on other Jour
