Ann Bennett was born in Corn

the age of thirteen years she re-

ried to John Graham, and to this
second union were born five child
rem. In January, 1900, Mr.. Ora
ham passed away, and deceased was
left once more alone.
Mrs. Graham's life has been a
busy. Her life has been full OF
sorrow, yet as a faithful Christian
she has ever been ready at the cal
of duty, and when the final hour
came, responded willingly to the
call from on high, passing away on

The question as to whether San

good thing for debating societies,
but the increased business during
the holidays is no myth. Our bust
ness men care little about the Santa
Claus myth, but all recognize the
fact that the practical Santa Claus
is a good thing. Everybody en-
deavors to buy little of something
at Christmas time, no matter how
poor, and the merchants, and in fact
everybody is the better for it. The
myth could be abolished but the
practice of giving presents on Christ
mas should be with us always.

We got some wood on subscrip-
ton the other day that was SO
crooked Tat it made the smoke curl
when it came out of the chimney,
another man promised to bring us
some wood as soon as he could get
it cut, and we find he just planted
the acorns.
Those people who were kicking
because the weatherman did not
furnish us with a little old fashioned
winter weather, are probably breath
ing easier since the cold wave struck
this section. But the man with an
armful of green wood at the back
door and a last summers ice bill
staring him in the face fails to dis
cover any aeolian music in the wind
as it whips the fringe at the bottom
of his trousers legs.
The postoffice at Erin, Mich,
has been discontinued, presumably
to prevent international complica-

decidedly Irish, the postmaster was
a Frenchman, while the majority of
the patrons were Germans, and
complaints, charges and counter
charges were so numerous from that
point that the department sent an
inspector there to investigate the
matter, and he recommended that
the Office be abolished as the short
est way out of the dilema.

Tales of The Town.

1t is reported that a Platteville
woman cured her husband of stay
ing out late at night by going to
the door when he came home and
whispering through the keyhole,
rs that you, Willie?" Her hus-
bands name is John, and he stays
home every night now, and sleeps
with one eye open and a revolver
under his pillow.
One of my lady readers writes
and wishes to know if I don't think
her pa foolish in scolding her be-
cause she whistled I'm the Gloam-
ing" Of course he is; but # you
whistle at all, by all means whistle
in the cleaning or about twenty
minutes later when no one will see
you, for a quicker is as much of a
calamity to the features of a pretty
girl as it is to the flavor of pear.
An Iowa paper brags because a
man named VIM. Hent1cs out there
ate % bananaG at one time and then
smacked his lips and said the last
one tasted just as good as the first.
That's nothing. Chester White at

bristles against the fence and grunt.

them. No one can keep lot OF
such truck, and it is often highly
convenient just to send them on
their travels to carry Christmas
greeting to other people. And why
not?
Don't ransack all the shops for a
fine present for your friend Dives,
and then take any old thing off the
bargain counter for your other
friend, Lazarus. Try the fine pres
ent on Lazarus for a change and
see what real appreciation is.
Don't give presents in the wrap
pings they were sent from the shop
in. It is too much like throwing a
bone to dog. Less expensive pres
ents and little fancy paper and
ribbon and a few sprays of holly
and mistletoe administered with
taste will be deal more satisfactory
and Christmasy.
Don't let your little ones into the
secret that Santa Claus is an impOs-
tor. Let them figure out for them
selves how a fat man with a big
pack can get into the parlor CRATE
through the chimney of a modern
house heated by steam. magma
ton is desirable quality to Guilt
vate.
Don't give presents after you have
complained for weeks to all your
friends about the nuisance Of the
custom. Christmas can be cele
brated in other ways, and giving
gifts ungraciously is one of the most
graceless things in the world. If
you will give them, and still hate
to, keep your hate a secret.
Don't take the tone that you are
''cut up if some one for whom you
have nOth1ng gives you a present..
The thing is not supposed to be a
matter of bargaining. Preserve a
decent semblance of a Christmas
spirit and repay the obligation, not
by tardy responding gift, but in
some other way at some other time
if you want to.
Don't give anyone bric-a-brac or
pictures unless you are morally GER
tain you know his taste. Presents
that must be displayed are apt to
be a great strain on the affections.
No matter how much the receiver
may hate them, he must father
them and deface his rooms with
them or insult the giver. Now a
book, for instance, even if the re-
ceiver doesn't like it and doesn't
want it, can be tucked away among
other books and forgotten; but an
ugly vase we have always with us
at least till we can plausibly meet
with an accident and smash it.
