Don't send a Christmas gift t without

ton; people do not like to have their
pleasure tempted with mystery.
greeting, as "Merry Christmas" or
Seasons Greeting, when needed, lis writ
ten on the upper part of The face of the
card.
When simply date is used, as"Christ-
mas, 1885," write it in the lower left
nard corner.
Christmas gifts should be neatly wrap
ped in perfectly fresh paper, and daintily
tied with nice bit of string or narrow
ribbon.
In sending gift in town, even to
ones next door neighbor, employ a
messenger or a servant, never member
of the family, if it can be avoided.
Plan as nearly as possible, to have a
Christmas gift reach it's destination on
Christmas day. Better the afternoon
or evening than the night before.
1t is proper to send gifts, even to
friends in town, by mail.
Never fail to acknowledge Christ
mas gift within week; the nearer the
date of receiving it, the better.

The State, published at Madison, says
there is no inaugural ball this year and
the ceremony of Inducing the newly
elected state officials into office, January
2, will be simple. The state officers will
probably meet in Milwaukee and go by
special train to Madison. They will be
met by the newly organized military
company and a brass band and escorted
to the capitol. Each incoming officer
will be met at the station by the retiring
state officer of his department and the
sub committees appointed The oath
OF office will be administered by
Chief Justice Csssoday in the assem-
bly, chamber in the presence of the SUI
prems court. The chief reason for
abandoning the customary inaugural
ball was because past functions of that
kind have proved little but disorderly
brushes and it was felt 1t would not be
good policy to attempt limiting the at
tendance by invitation.

cHRIsTMAs TnE Joyous SEASON.

CHRISTMAS lib JO1O oEASUN
Christmas and its attendant joys
an bright expectations is again near
IA, with its tokens of loving regard and
a friendliness toward each other that
comes to all, rich and poor alike, with
some bright CLEAN to revive thoughts
of the past that brings with them food
of pleasant memories, or that may turn
the present gloom of poverty and de
spair into scene of coming comfort or
luxury. How many hearts will be
ma lie glad by the sweetness OF this day
am ong all mankind, and how many hopes
will be revived among unfortunate ones
whose lives are shrouded in poverty or
despeir, but within whose breasts etill
burns natures greatest gift to oil of us
and which is the gem that makes our
lives worth living. Without hope dark
ness and desolation would abide and ex
istence would be made miserable. How
many little children will be made glad
by the glorious coming of Yuletide,
which should convey snse of sadness
to all who live in comfortable homes for
those unfortunate ones whose lives are
blighted by nnfevorable circumstances.
When thinking of Him who walked the
earth and left behind the beautiful
stories reflected in His sincerity and
love, and in realizing the perfection of
the teacher himself while spreading his
thoughts in pretty parallels among all
mankind, how natural for the little ones
to receive from their parents affection
a e care impressions of faith and hope
and love. How it imbues their lives
with genuine sympathy and affection
that should invariably be made manifest
in making the less favored and unfortu
nate onas happy by giving somethin g to
bring CLEANS of sunshine into their
lives, thus Iekindling the hope that lies
buried in them and which may be re-
turned in the same spirit of kindness at
some future time. Such manifestations
of love would convey to their hearts
the true meaning of "Peace on Earth,
Good Will Toward Men"
