Christmas Shopping.

There was good Christmas trade
along the street, Monday, and, as is nat
uraly expected, as Christmas day ap-
proachcs, there were crowds around the
stores, and crowds that were real hungry
for goods at that.
The ont Of town people, who have vain
iy waited for snow, have given it up as
bad job, and the roads witnessed more
travel than for some time previous. There
Is limit to mans patience, however, and
if the snow won't come, the human race
is Just so constituted that, when it comes
right down to business they can get along
without the stuff, just rs well as not.
Mud is bad, but if the snow was up
around peoples necks there would be Il
louder vail arise than any mud could
cause.
Today. the stores will doubtless b.
jAmmed again with the latest of he late,
and good time all around can be safely
predicted.

When I'm With Her.

When I'm with her,
The sky is arched with deeper blue,
The flowers are decked in richer hue,
And glad fields seem to smile anew
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her.
More gentle is the murmur Of the brook,
More sweet the songs from, dell and nook,
And ever glad is life's old story book
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her,
The sunset paints brighter sky.
The distant ships quiet at anchor lie,
And hours like moments hurry by
When Pm with her.
When I'm with her,
The moonbealns fall In softer light
The bright stars laugh upon a perfect night,
And all the world is filled with truth and RICH,
When I'm with her.
When I'm with her,
My hayward heart seems nearer pure,
Of God and future then I'm almost sure
And naught from right can me allure
When I'm with her.
