For The Pleasure Of otber..

1t is the desire and effort to con.
tribute to the happiness Of Others that
makes Christmas the most delightful Of
al Our holidays. Children. at first, per-
maps, think most Of the gifts that they
may receive, but every wise parent
teaches the child to DO givcr as well
as a receiver, and to find the deeper ioy
OF the Christmas time in doing some.
shlng for the pleasure for some one
else. The maxim: ut is more blessed
70 give than to receive" is one Of those
beautiful statements that it is easy to
approve, but one never knows how true
1t is until he finds it verified in experi-
cnce- Then q new fountain OF iov
opens in the heart and a new way OF
life is disclosed. We often make the
mistake of thinking that giving" con-
sists in the bestowal of some material
thing. But it really consists in devo-
ton to another of what we have; it
may be money or time or skill or
thoughtf"lness or patience. There is
no one SO poor that he cannot give
something. That is the real Joy of
Christmas time. If we carried the
Christmas spirit into all the days Of Tie
year we should make life infinitely
sweetcr and happier.-Boston Watch

Seems as if all the things we like dis

Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are for people

ticularly for those in whom it manifests
Itself in tue form OF constipation. The
Pellets are quick and easy in their ac-
tion. They are in perfect harmony with
nature. They effect a permanent cure.
You need take them regularly only q
little while. After that, use them occa-
slonally when you need them-when
you have eaten anything that dI~agrees
with you. They may be taken just as
freely as you would take water or any
other necessity Of life. Once used they
are always in favor.

The Presidents MESSAGE In Brief.

The press Of the country has pretty
generally commented upon the recent
message of President Mckinley. The
New York Journal says:
The President would obtain more
readers tor lis literary efforts If he would
take course of lessons in the art OF
"boiliug down" in some good newspa
per office For instance, instead of the
10000 words he unloaded upon Congress
yesterday he might have said this:
I'VE have thrashed Spain and remem-
bered the Maine. am running Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Cuba can
run herself as soon as We think her
ready. Foreign governments don't
like to have their subjects shot. Dig
the Nicaragua canal. Give u million
dollars for the Paris Exposition. We
are trying to make up with Canada. l
shall let you know what to do with
Hawaii as soon as know myself. Wnen
you give gold for greenbacks don't give
the greenbacks for anything but gold.
Give Alger 100 900 regulars. Build a
mighty navy. Discourage yellow feyer
Drum up trade in China. Take care of
the next census. Make Dewey al admi
raj, and let ma pick my man for vice
admiral. Preserye the forests. CeIe-
brate the centennial of the foundation
