The Christmas Stocking.


As the time draws near to Christmas
once more, the gift problem again
comes to the front. Much of woman's
time for the next four weeks will be
spent either in making little articles of
her own handiwork for her friends or
searching the stores for something
suitable for Christmas gifts. The men,
on the contrary, will for the most part
wait until the night before Christmas
and then bride their wives and sisters
and sWeethearts to do their gift buying
for them or else wander around aim
lessly among the crowds at the cOun-
tiers for an hour or so until drawn in
fit of desperation to buy the next
thing that offers without regard to
suitability. But then woman loves shop
ping and man hates it, which makes all
the difference in the world. The wo-
man. you see, extracts almost as much
pleasure from the gifts She buys as
from the gifts she receives.
But have we not come to point
where we make rather too much fuss
and f1uster over Christmas gift giving?
Wouldn't it be better if we worried less
over what we are to give even though
we are thereby led to give more mod
estly? 1t wouldn't do to abolish the
good old custom of giving presents at
Christmas because it is associated with
too much that is near and dear. but it
might be possible to so far reform the
tendencies of the time as to persuade
ourselves to be moderate and empha-
size the spirit behind the giving more
than the substance of the gift itself
Such a reformation would take much
of the worry out of Christmas giving
and make it more perfectly day of
peace on earth, good viii to men,"

There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor.
On. the little hands too skillful.
And the child mind choked with weeds!
The daughters heart grown willful,
And the fathers heart that bleeds!
No, no. from the streets rude bustle
From trophies of mart and stage,

And the meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as of old by the river,
And be loved for the dream Away;
For n dreamer lives forever
And a toiler dies in q day!

The remodelling of the high school
building to which Candidate Ingraham
points with pride was done and paid
for under the administration of Mayor
Baxter, but there is no doubt that to
Mr.. IngraAam's administration belongs
the distinction of having caused the
erection of the new back stairs to City
hall. To be sure they have been used
SO little in the past II years that few
people know of their existence but they
are there just the same, winding and
devious, symbolical of some of the pro-
ceedings of that year when the Demo-
Gratis reigned supreme in the manage

Since the New York election persons
