CHRISTMAS sHOppINo

While jogging down to tine village

That Christmas war coming soon.
And as he thought OF the season
There came to his busy brain
The strange idea OF present
For his wife, Eliza Jane.

The biggest OF all tho stores,
Determined to make his purchase
Before be quilted Its doors.
They showed him all sorts OF trinkets.
And many handsome stu6s
For gowns, long feather tippets
And great array Of NUTS.
But he waved them aside, disgusted-
Not cent had he to waste;
just leave him alone and he'd soon
Find something to suit his taste.
Tho clerks, surprised and disgruntled,
Allowed him to roam about,
But rallied quickly on hearing
loud and jubilRnt shout.
I'll give her some Of that yarn there
To knit me pair Of socks,
And some Of that heavy flannel
TO make me some good warm fr0cks.n
Ana carrying home his presents,
His wife looked mp with emile
To thank him for al his goodness
IN thinking II worth his while.
And when he'd gone, she was smiling
And stified her daughters sneers
your father meant wen, my dearie,
only men are very queer.v

The people Of Middlebury, it seems, a.
well as the people OF Randolph, have had q
little experience In the matter of purchas-
ing three thousand dollar stations by a
Joint note.
The case came up In the present term OF
the Addison county court for trial, and was
between the Peoples National bank Of
Glens Falls and Robert Easton Of Middle
bury and twenty others, the defendants
having purchased stallion and given
their Joint note for $780,
The bank bought the note and sued to
recover, the note not having been paid at
maturity. When the court adjourned
last Thursday night, the defendants had
commenced putting In their evidence and
the case looked good for two or three
days:
But surprise was In store for the regu-
lar court attendants the next morning,
when it became known that the case had
been settled out Of court the previous
night. The terms OF the settlement were
kept private, but it was generally SUR
missed that the defendants had agreed to
pay about one-half the banks claim.
The Limerick National bank Of Maine,
into whose hands the Randolph joint note
came, threatened some three months ago to
bring suit Immediately against the sign
ers OF the note to recover its value.
However, for some reason, the bank Of
fcials have failed SO far to do more than
threaten; it may possibly be on account
OF slight suspicion that they would And
it exceedingly difficult to make any kind
OF settlement.
