Don't Buy Bargain Presents.

Speaking Of Christmas reminds me that
it is not always safe to buy bargain presents
for your friends who live in the same town
with you. It's all right to do it if you are
sending the gifts outside the citys shopping
limits, but when you undertake to present
your immediate friends with the cuttings of
the marked down" sales of holiday week
you run big risk. For instance, one of the
big dry goods shops made a special feature
of liberty silk ruches, cutting the price ex-
acty in half. They really were tremen-
dous bargain. Any woman who was not
blind could see that with one eye shut and
it was no wonder that they sold like hot
cakes. A liberty silk ruche that looks like
a 81 one and costs just 81 cents is not to be
despised. Pretty nearly every woman who
went into that store looking for Christmas
presents bought one and ] happen to know
of four women who bought three apiece and
sent them to the other three. And as a con-
sequence to-day those four women are the
possessors of liberty silk ruches that are
as alike as two peas in pod and each one
of them cherishes secret opinion of the
other three. Milwaukee Sentinel.

THE NIGHT FORE CHRISTMAS.
Blu JOE LINCOLN.

Most centrally at eight o'clock ] go up
stairs to bed;
An jes undress an say my prayers an
cover up my head,
An shut my eyes up good'n tight an go to
sleep, an then
First thing ! know it's mornln, an tune TO
git up again.
Some nights, er course, don't seem so short,
like fore the Fourth, yer know,
Or fore a fellers birthday, or the night
jes' fore yer go
To visit granpa-oh, my, yes! they're
kinder long, but, gee!
The night that comes fore Chris mus is a
million years to me.
Seems's if December, anyway, s the long
est month they IS;
The months that's in the summer, why,
they go so fast they whiz,
But old December crawls along, so kinder
slow and late
That Chris mus keeps so far away seems
S if you couldn't wait.
An when yer'Ve marked off all the days
but one, an that's most through,
An yer've hanged up yer stockin' right
Iongside the chimney 1ue,
An said Good night an gone upstairs,
my, don't the minutes creep!
Cause when he knows It's Christmas eve
no boy can go to sleep.
Yer hear the old hall clock "tick tock' an
hear the wind, so low
An kinder soft an lonesome like, jes' s
if twas goin' to snow;
An then yer wonder if it will, SOS yer can
slide next day,
An then yer think bout Sanity an his rein
deer, an his sleigh.
Yer wonder what he'll bring yer, an yer
wonder how he guessed
Yer wanted skates las Christmas an a
boWgun an the rest;
An then yer try to git to sleep an then,
er course, yer don't,
An then yer say: "Wel, you jes' will,
an then, er course, yer won't.
l s'pose it must be right, but, oh! some
times it does seem wrong
That that one night boys wants so short
should be 50 extra long;
I've tried to think out why it Is, but all
the 'sCuse I've found
Is that it's long so SANITY he'll have time
to git around.
But | know this, I'm mighty glad / amt
a Gskymow
An has to live way, way up north 'mong
all the ice an snow,
| really don't see what they do, the boys,
! mean-oh, dear!
Jcs' think of Waitin through night that
lasts a half year.

THE CHILD'S FESTIVAL.
There Is a Special Significance in Christ
mas for the Little Ones.

The true Children ) day is Christmas. The
Lord Of the feast was child in Bethlehem,
and He still loves little children as He did
when, in the strength Of His manhood, He
took them III His arms and blessed them.
If there were no children in our world to
receive and enjoy, the advent time would
lose much OF its beauty and delight. The
child's Imagination, which transforms com
monplace things, the chld's receptivity,
which does not stop to question, but enjoys
these reflect themselves upon our minds
and bring US for the moment into the child
like mood of happiness. Nor is the child's
thought of happiness simply one Of getting.
Neither the gift nor the surprise of the
gift, dear as these are to the child's heart,
brings as much pleasure as the planning and
the giving. The best of Christmas is enjoyed
before ever Christmas comes We older ones
need to be reminded every year that love is
more than elaboration at the Christmas
time, and that the value of the gift is meas
ured by the affection of the giver; but I'M
spoiled children know it and act upon it,
as if there could be no doubt of it at all and
we would all be happier at Christmas if we
were to learn Of them. Then would the
Christmas burden, of which so many are
complaining, turn to pure delight.-Congre-
gationalist.

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF.
He Made Good Resolution But 1t Didn't

SOME UNBIASED OPINIONS.

1t is not always the biggest stocking that
contains the costliest present.
When girl is caught under the mistletoe
she always pretends that she had forgotten
it was there
A woman always likes a man better if the
gloves he sends her are about two sizes too
small.
A woman declares she is delighted with
her presents, but she never fails to look at
the price marks on them
If the stone is small and cheap it is per
haps just as well to put girls engagement
ring in her stocking.
1t always makes a woman sad if her hus-
band hasn't bought something for her that
she is afraid they really oughtn't to afford

Many person has got kicked for looking
gift horse in the mouth.
The average Christmas slipper is about
the worst thing that a man can put his
foot into.
Doing business without advertising is
about the same as for pretty girl to hang
up her mistletoe and then neglect to stand
under it.
While it is always commendable to make
useful presents don't give man a bottle
of whisky just because it is we'll known
that he uses it.

An Important Dau.

Nowhere is New Years day more fes-
lively observed than in the east, and es-
pecially in Mohammedan lands. In Persia
the No ROOF, las the new year is called)
is by far the most important holiday OBJ
served by the subjects of the shah. On
New Years eve the fun begins with the
kindling Of huge bonfres, and among the
more active it is considered the correct
thing to leap over or through the flames
The Persian is careful to perform his fire
dance in old garments, for on New Years
day every one who has the means is bound
by the strictest custom to appear in new
clothes.-N. Y. Sun.

Angeles travel and the Jacumba road for the San Diego people. We ought to consider one-half the money contri- butcd and spent on the Julian road as sufficient to enable Los Angeles to maintain her hold on the eastern part of San Diego county. Freighters are offering for a guarantee of 5000 pounds each load in freight or passen- gers, to haul freight from San Diego to Imperial, via Jacumba road if fixed, at less rates than those charged from Los Angeles to Imperial. But the op- pulent San Diego merchant is too busy holding the easy office chair down to look up the business and meanwhile Los Angeles is getting there with both feet and will soon be compelled to put up another warehouse or two to accom- modate the trade. San Diego can sell them the lumber not because her mer- chants are hustlers, but because she has got the harbor for unloading the lumber. W. F. FOSTER.
