it himself the next morning. Then he
called at the abode of Miss Damon.
The ring was answered by q servant,
who said the young lady was out doing
her Christmas shopping. Here was a
piece of good luck. Leaving the pack
age with explicit instructions as to it's
delivery Fadley said he would call,
Christmas night, as per previous ar
rangement with the young lady.
There was a big job off his hands,
and Fadley mentally patted himself on
the back at having done it up SO neatly.
He pictured to himself the glad sur
receive the substantial evidence of his
regard, and chuckled over the little
surprise in store for his dear friend
and chum, Harvey. Early Christmas
morning Miss Damon received her
package, upon opening which she ex-
claimed:
'Wcll, neverl Just as if l were in
need of shave. Who ever has been
so kind as to furnish me with this tom
serial OUTFIT" Then her eye caught
the corner of card sticking out of one
of the compartments of the case. This
she drew forth and read:
From yours faithfully,
+ H IRA FADLEY''
''Oh!" said the mischievous young
lady; ''Mr. Fadley, eh? Well, just
wait till he comes this evening. I'll
bawl Next at him; see if l DON'T
Of all the mortified SWANS that ever
got into pickle Fadley felt the worst
when the idol of his heart flashed the
shaving tools on him. He was utterly
speechless, until it occurred to him
that his friend Harvey had his dear
ones toilet set and one of the sweetest
of little notes that ever a lovesick fell
low put together.
Great snakes!'' thought Fadley; ''if
he reads that note I'll never hear the
last of it." Then he explained the
mistake and begged off long enough to
hasten over to his friends house to
exchange the packages. He found
Harvey at home, and as that amiable
young man jerked him into the hall he
simperingly inquired:
sis my hat on straight, Ira dear, and
how do my bangs look?"
"Say!' fiercely CALCULATED Fadley, ''if
you don't shut your head I'll break it
for your
But there was no time to be lost, so
fadley, after duly acknowledging that
the cigars were on him, gathered up
the toilet set and sped back with it to
the one for whom it was intended.
That was not the last of the joke on
him, by any means. The thing leaked
out, as such things invariably do, and
poor Fadley was SO annoyed by face
tious illusions to his Santa Claus ex-
perience that he was compelled to
threaten with consequences dire any
one who mentioned the subject.

FADLEY'S CHRISTMAS GIFTS.


Young Mr.. Fadley was in worry.
He had some Christmas presents 10
buy, and what to get was what wor-
ried him. First and foremost. there
WAS Miss Damon, upon whom he was
anxious to create an impression-she
must have something appropriate and
elegant. whether anybody else got
ANYTHING or not. Then there was ms
bosom friend and constant companion
Harvey, a good fellow who had placed
him under obligation times without
number-him he could not forget.
This being the case, Fadley started out
to rummage the stores.
He overhauled all the leading shops
in town, and by Christmas Eve had col
lected what he thought was a pretty
sensible lot of presents for an amateur
Santa Claus to get together. For the
lady of his choice he had handsome
toilet outfit of combs, brushes, powder
puffs and boxes, manicure implements,
hand mirrors, and no end of other ele-
giant articles for feminine use. These
were all inclosed in an deliberately be-
FLUSHED and inlaid case which was
neatly wrapped and all ready to be
sent to the intended recipient. For
his friend Harvey he had an elegant
shaving set, consisting of razors'
brushes, cups, homes, ETC., done up in a
substantial case which was also ready
to be dispatched to the home OF his
friend.
Not daring to trust a messenger with
the presents for fear of some mistake
Fadley started out himself to deliver
them. First he called at Harvey S
house. timing his call SO as not to catch
his friend at home. With his friends
mother he intrusted the package, she
promising that it should not be tam
pered with until Harvey should open

Execution of Pension Vouchers.

By an act of Congress it is provided
that hereafter all fourth-class post
masters are authorized and empowered
to administer any and all oaths re-
quired to be made by pensioners and
their witnesses in the execution of their
vouchers with like effect and force as
officers having seal. He is authorized
to charge and receive for each voucher
not exceeding 25 cents, to be paid by
the pensioner. Parties living at a

a trip here by applying to their post
master and paying the small fee OF
twenty-five cents.

JUST what caused the tidal wave
and the caving away of the bank,
which destroyed 600 feet of the
wharf, at Tacoma. and did damage
to the amount of $50, 900, will per-
haps never be known. Some think
it was caused by an eruption OF
Mt. Rainier, while others think it
was caused by the caving away OF
a subterranian bank or hill.

CONGRESS met last Monday, and
the question naturally arises, "Can
we expect visable relief from the
great commercial and industrial
depression which, like pail has
settled over the country. Silver
will have some able friends in both
houses and in all parties, Allen
and Turner are already at Wash
lngton ready to hold the floor for
days and weeks, if necessary to
prevent the final death blow to
silver. But there is little or nc
chance for any silver legislation
whatever, and doubtless the white
metal will pale before some such
scheme as the Baltimore plan.'
However we predict that this new
financial policy will have but few
ardent supporters from the west
and south. The future financial
policy of the government will be
principal issue before the present
congress. Let us hope that what
ever financial legislation is enacted
may, for time at least, ssrestort
confidence" and start, once more
the now severely clogged wheels o
trade.
1t is doubtful if there will be an,
radical changes in the tariff during
the next two years. There has nj
doubt been change of feeling or
the tariff question in the republican
party, and any changes in thai
direction will be on a conservative
basis, and we have no cause to ex.
pect a Mckinley tariff Indeed
we can hardly expect tariff legisla
ton at all, with Cleveland at the
bead of the government, the result
may be a state of uncertainty ever
more embarrassing than that which
the country experienced prior t.
the passage Of the Wilson bill.
