 HERE IT IS.

A Chance to Make Children Happy. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER Will you please print this. A lady, responsible and an angel of mercy to the poor in this city, called upon me yesterday and requested toys from the contributions to the Santa Claus Gold en Rule club, to the number of fifty for little tots from 1 to ' years old. They will be distributed on Tuesday af- ternoon next at English hall.
 Now among the 300 or 400 gifts all ready brought in l find very few suit able for very little children.
 Rattles, little tin wagons, dolls, etc, would suit best. Who will devote a single little toy Ca well preserved toy of former Christmas will do) to meet this demand?
 Most of these children have never had Christmas, I learn, and it will be worth all the toys In the world to just hear the rippling laughter of those chil- dren when they get them.
 Bring the gift to room 4, Insurance building. and receive the handsome souvenir card for your trouble.
 Yours for a Merry Christmas,
 CHAS. F. SOUTHARD, Adv. Manager for F. M, Brown & Co.,.

Count Annie de Montaign,

Says: ''The interchange of gifts, even though insignificant, is charming cus- tom and one which should never fall into desuetude''
 Christmas and New Years are cele- brated throughout the civilized world by the giving and receiving of gifts, and in offering the slightest remem- brance taste and fitness should be re- garded.
 The George H. Ford company has a reputation for excellence of taste and standard quality not confined to this city or state, but known over the whole country.

A STAR FISH EXTERMINATO.

Engineer Sanford of the state shell fish commission has announced that he has discovered a method of exterminat- ing the star fish, so troublesome to oystermen. It has been discovered that some stars are affected by 8 parasite, which destroys them, and it is believed that if these parasites are cultivated in quantities and planted among the stars the latter will be eX- terminated. Oyster growers are pre- pairing a petition to congress asking that an appropriation be made for an investigation of the discovery.
