All the little tykes will be out OF bed un-

sundry shrieks and howls of delight,
will give their undivided attention to
exploring the depths Of the Christmas
stocking before breakfast. AS the little
ones begin TO shake off the dro wsy god
and dig the bright eyes open with pudgy
fists the merry Christmas" call will be
heard In all the blessed homes where
children are and the older and crankier
ones will find themselves wishing for
just one merry, happy, childish Christ
mas.
After light breakiast-light TO en-
courage suitable appetite for the big
Christmas dinner, and while the ladies',
God bless them, are preparing that

community will don their Sunday suits
and saunter around town looking for
Christmas. They will not need specta-
cles to find II either, for the commodity

fellows, fond Of blonde or brunette beau
ties, whom they want to take out for a
swirllng swimming spin 'twixt snow and
stars. II they need any extra sleigh
bells for the occasion they can get them
from Jno. +. Reisacher.
Along towards noon. when the crowd
all get together, everybody will make a
grand rush for SyPs barber shop 10 get
a Christmas shave and, OF course, most
OF them will have to have haircut to.

Earhart & Wilson for cigar-or some
thing-to steady their nerves, you know
while others, who are afraid of taking
