Origin Of Giftmaking.

The custom of giving Christmas
presents is said to have originated in
Spain During the revels of Christ
mas eve, when the booths and ba-
zaars were thrown wide open, the
madcap jewellers were accustomed
to going from booth to booth, pur-
chasing such articles as struck their
fancy, and in the high carnival
which followed these purchases were
exchanged Unfortunately. The
opportunity thus afforded of ex-
changing secret love tokens gave
rise to greater discrimination in
the presents and is the earliest rec
ord of Christmas presents.

them both on Christmas by present
ing each with very elegant easy
chair. For a long time DR.. Coombs

aud frequently stood the expense
alone. In recognition of this the
members of the choir decided to
present him with a fine chair as a
token of their appreciation of his
services. A few outside friends were
allowed to contribute so the $40
necessary to buy it were soon col
lected.
Prof Wiley has been superinten-

number of years and has given
the work much time and thought
and has remarkably successful AMI
interesting school. A move was
made few days before Christmas
to also present him fine chair very
much like the Doctors and in
very short time the funds were
raised. On Sunday morning at the
close of the session the chair was
brought in bearing a bright little girl
who carried flowers followed by
file Of youngsters who each carried
floral offering and Mr.. d. G. Hoff-
man stepped forward and in very
neat, elegant and appropriate speech
presented the chair to the Superin.
tendent. For time he was some
what overcome but soon rallied and
acknowledged it in very touching
manner. Everybody was happy and
all wished they could do more to
show how they valued the services
of both gentlemen who are the lead
ers in the church.

rest of them ever since we got on the
job At times this has been SO severe
that have almost decided to leave
the place not being able to stand it
any longer This was told to the boss
and he said that it was shame but
for me to stay on as the well was
nearly done and that he could not let
me go very easily. This was on Sat-
urday the day before the thing took
place.
The men had been in the habit of
taking my clothes and wiping their
feet over them. They would go into
my pockets land take whatever was
left in them. There was no way of
locking up my things and / had to
take it. They would play all sorts of
pranks and then give me the laugh.
/ was afraid to resent it as they were
all larger than myself.
But when l went into the tent on
Sunday night and found all the things
piled on the bed and the men all wait
ing to give me the laugh became
very mad.
/ asked who done il and Noel an
swered by swearing at me and telling
me to go to bed. / retorted and he
said, did it. What are you going to
do about it and at the same time he
started to get up. He was very
large man weighing over two hundred
and | was afraid that if he got up he
would beat me all up and throw me
out of the tent so / went at him. He
didn't get at me.
1t would have been best for me if
he had in view of what has happened
and am sorry that ne didn't bur 1T
is too late now to think about 1t. We
had been strangers until we net on
