BIOWEll'S FAILURE.
Christmas shopping Proved TOO
Much for Him.

Bidwell told his wife that he would
do the Christmas shopping this year.
II remember how tired you were last
year. and If you'll make out list I'll
buy the things myself, and save you all
the worry
1t was a great scheme. but il didn't
work. Bidwell got the things all right
and had them put away marked with
his name and address-the whole lot
in one immense big package, out Of
which stuck handles and heads, and
other things incidental to Christmas.
But he did not do as his wife was in
the habit of doing, reiterate certain
commands and cautions over and over
again, besides having them written on
every corner of the big package.
The next day after his shopping tour.
Mrs. Bidwell spent several hours with a
neighbor. during which time the re-
suits Of Mr.. Bidwell's Christmas shop
ping were sent home.
When Mrs. Bidwell returned TO the
house she found pandemonium let
loose. The contents of the big package
had been distributed, and each child
had secured share. Tommy had his
express wagon, Mamie her doll, Freddie
his bugle. and the other things were an
open secret TO all who cared to in
vestigate.
II don't know which is worse" said
Mrs. b. with tears in her eyes, "to
have no Christmas at all. or to have II
q week before the time"
Next year I'll remember" muir
INJURED Mr.. Bidwell, penitently.
Next year I'll be Santa Claus my
self" answered his wife. The re-
sponsibility of Christmas shopping is
too much for n mamie will get rat
tled."-Detroit Free Press.

Nothing TO give TO people

You want to be making presents,
Well. now, just think awhile.
Suppose you look in the glass. dear,
And present yourself with a smile.
Then make up a bundle OF troubles
And give them away TO the past.

Where WORKOUT worries are cast
Just bundle them onto the old year
And let him lug them away.
And next give heart Of hope, dear.
To the new year blithe and gay.
And then give praise to the best things
In the people you meet this year;
You may be surprised at the goodness
You'll find II you look, my dear.
And when you are hurt by the folly
or faults OF the folks you know,
Just toss them a bit OF your patience
And a word OF pity or so.
