The holidays are approach
ing at the rate Of a day every
twenty-four hours, and this is
the month when children fix
their attention on literature
in which Santa Claus takes a
leading part, and wives and
daughters allow theirs to dwell
on the old gentleman's purse.
An old lady was once asked
the age when girls gave up
playing with dolls, and the
answer came back: "When
they have children of their
own" SO it is about Santa
Claus. Children give him up
as mythical when they are old
enough to realize a flesh and
blood Santa Claus in their
father. If it happens to be a
girl, she will cling to the old
gentleman until she wins a
Santa Claus who will be her
individual property.
1t is with these flesh and
blood Santa Claus that we
wish to whisper. On the
Australia which arrived last
week there were several large
cases Of solid silver ware for
us. In turn we will dispose Of
it to Santa Claus. We will
have no difficulty in doing
this as the assortment is from
four of the largest and best
factories in the United States.
You will have an opportu-
nifty tosview the goods later.

try has about 7O,OOO,OOO population. \
second lieutenant in the First In
fantry has decided to resign because
he has nightmare in which he fore
sees the use of the army against the
people. 1t may be explained that the
subaltern had studied Archbishop Ire
lands letter on the political situation
and it is natural to suppose that he
has been devouring much contra lit
erature. The campaign has been pro-
life of freaks and surprises. The
Archbishop came out fatty for Me-
Kinley and genuine Americanism.
When an effort was made to have him
disciplined from Rome he was instead
commended by the head of the church,

been witnessed within the bounds of
