and on the wagon was a beautiful red
and green sleigh, exactly like the one
he had given to Dick.
Well Archie was very happy that

poor little Dick, and when the odor
of roasted turkey and mince pies crept
through the house he wondered if they

One rule is pretty safe to follow: A
present should be something good of
its kind; something honest and gen

jewellers used to keep kind of ware
which they called "target-eXeursion

gigantic speaking trumpet would be
plated with fifteen cents worth of sill

articles to fire companies and other
constituents, to be shot for on their
annual excursion. An honest boot
jack had been a worthier prize. In all

mines inland. Here the beauty of the
frs attracted the attention of the own
er of the yacht, who took 500 young
trees to Boston and sold them at good
prices in the Christmas market at
Fanueil hall. Up to that time pines
and spruces had been used as Christ
mas trees, but since the day of the
Boston yachtsman's speculation the
fir has been the favorite. Now about
