on errors. Besides the home run, Cow
ington made five two base hits. The
Carambats made one homo run and Two
twc-base hits.
As usual Claverie pitched fine game,
striking out zen men, including William

Mrs. Jobson's Tact
A CHRISTMAS STORY

While making her Christmas-shop-
ping rounds the other day, Mrs. Jobson
espied, in furriers window, a squirrel
coat which she instantly concluded was
just about right.
THAT" said Mrs. Jofson to herself,
amiably, but determinedly squaring her
chin, will be my Christmas present from
Mr.. Jobson."
Whereupon she entered the furrier's
establishment and tried on the squirrel
coat. 1t fitted her perfectly.
you may consider the coat sold" said
Mrs. Jobson to the furrier. "But place
1t back in the window. l shall want my
husband to see it there. BY the way,
wish you would drape it on window
model with dark hair instead of on that
blond mcdel-my hair is dark, you
know" and the furrier perfectly entered
into the meaning of her smile and smiled
back. II shall pay you $40 on the coat
now, to bind the bargain. When my hus-
band pays you the full price of the coat
which he will, within few days-why,
shall have you return the $40 to me-"
III, uHueI olonu, tHOIOuSnly,
madam" said the furrier, with another
shrewd smile.
That evening, at the dinner table, Mrs.
Jobson, by imperceptible stages, led the
talk around to the subject of Christmas.
and Mr.. Jobson looked surprised, and
then thoughtful, when she had impressed
upon him the nearness Of the great fes-
tival.
Had no idea that Christmas was right
on top of me again" said Mr.. Jobson.
"It's queer the way these Christmases
seem to come around in punches, all
