The Average Man. I"

No person is more talked about
than "the average man. But what
is he like? Will any one under
take to describe him?
Physically. yes. We know that
"the average man" lives about 33
years; that the chances are five out
OF six that he will die before he is
seventy. fifteen out of sixteen that
he will die before be is eighty; that
he only has one chance in l33 of
living to be ninety. We know that
if he is lean at thirty-six he usually
grows fatter thereafter. and if fat
becomes leaner; that somewhere
abont forty-eight or fifty his gen.
eral health receives a set back
more or less marked; that after a.
bout year of such experience he
starts with renewed vigor and
keeps on until he sixty-one or six
tY-two, when he pashes through
another and severer set back, some
times called "the grand climaotery.'
and if he passes this experience
safely he is likely to round off his
threescore years and ten or more,
and go about boasting of his re-
msrkable age and strength.
Other interesting specifications
of our average man" are that his
physical strength is one-fifth that
of the average horse; that he wears
No. Z hat, No. 8 shoe, has SO
inch chest and is about 5 feet z
inches high.

An exchange says: Did you
ever stop to think as the hearse
goes by, that as the years pass we
shall each in the end occupy about
the same spaoe-2x6 feet in the
bosom of old mother earth, and
that it is better to work to make
life pleasant for all than to lie

cents which cannot be carried be-
yond the grave, for "shrouds have

hand becomes hideous. When it
comes to simply "swapping" pres
ents the Christmas spirit is lost.
And it cannot be denied that the
tendency is in that direction.
Parents as a rule overdo the
matter of Christmas presents when
their children are young The boy
or girl of 80 and 40 years ago de-
rived much more real satisfaction
from an expensive present than the
one of today does Parents OF to-
day bestow such valuable presents
upon their children when they are
young. that when they are a little
older grown there is nothing good
enough for them. When lad or
lass of dozen years turns up his
or her nose. and displays a lack of
gratitude simply because the gift
is not more valuable, it is good ev-
idenoe that there has been ple-
thora of presents before, And it
is much the same with the grown
folks. The husband whose wife
has about everything she desires.
experiences more and more diff
GUILTY each succeeding year in find
ing something suitable and satis-
factory. And it is the same with
the wife whose husband is well
supplied with means.
These are only a few of the
numerous reasons why people take
up such heavy burdens each reour-
ring holiday season when they
commence hunting for Christmas
presents. Were all purchasers to
restrict themselves to merely some
little remembrance = something
which they could afford. it would
certainly be much better than to
indulge in extravagant purchases,
which very frequently causes the
assuming of debts by the donor
and which are burdensome for
many weary months. And the re-
oipients should always remember
that there is nothing so unkind as
base ingratitude.

to Cumberland the line followed
the old national pike; then direct
line was built to Psrkersburg on

built lines from Parkersburg direot

have merged into the Baltimore &

most direct route between the East
and the West.

Dedicated to the Indian Wooden
Cigar Sign Which Stands in
Front of J. F. Burdstt &
Co.'S. Grocery Store.

Behold the wooden Indian,
Who stands outside the door,
And guards with frown and hatchet
The Burdett & Co. grocery store.
He never beat grocery bill,
He never told a lie,
Henever took longing look
at bourbon, fizz, or rye.
Behold the wooden Indian
A mass of oak and paint;
He never made a crooked move,
In faith. he is a saint.
He never bought a stack OF chips
And sat into q game;
He never played the slot machine,
Or fiirted with dame.
Behold the wooden Indian,
Who, on the other hand,
Was never known to help the poor
That fill our glorious land;
Who never heard the piteous cry
OF him who starved alone
Who never gave q hungry dog,
So much as one small bone.
Behold the wooden Indian
CAnd clay is much like wood,)
Who never did a bit of harm,
Nor yet a bit of good.
His family is not extinct
In fact, one often meet
A lot of wooden Indians
A staggering on Main street.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

"Christmas comes but onoe a
year" and in the opinion of many
it is an elegant sufiicienoy. There
is no gainsaying the fact that a
good many are just as we'll satis-
fed that it comes no more fre-
quently. It is of course true that
many, probably majority. cele-
brate the great holiday in the
proper spirit, and look forward to
its coming with the most joyous
expectations, but it is equally true
that there are many others who
look upon its advent as an annual
infliction, dreaded season of an
noyance and perplexity, during
which selfishness. greed and in
gratitude are more frequently en-
countered than the opposite char
aoteristic of charity, benevolenoe
and good will.
The practice of giving is baau-
tiful one, so long as it is conducted
along proper lines. 1t is not, OF
should not be:the value of the gift,
and when it assumes the character
of oommercialism and an individual
