Shoes have not that rich, satisfying
rustic which sounds best to those who
can't afford it.
It is cineh that any school girl
would rather have a bracelet than a set
of encyclopedia and any smoker would
prefer a box Of his favorite cigars to a
prayerbOOk. So let him have them,
and never mind your conscientious
scruples for once in the year. Christ
mas is not a time for noralizing. That
is what makes it so delightful
OF course at this late moment you
have already gone and done it, and
there is no use reminding you that your
widest extravaganza in gift-making
viii carry more happiness and give bet
ter results if a poor friend is the object
of your generosity than If you blow
yourself for a rich friend. But we all
do the latter and probably always viii,
although nothing that we can buy will
give the spoiled children of wealth a
moments satisfa elton, and it would fill
our poor friends with unmeasured de-
light. But after all, Christmas Is for
the Givers and as long as it pleases US
to pretend to our wealthy friends that
we can afford all that they do, far be it
from me to remove one jot or little OF
the satisfaction of that annual bluff.
It's the same thing every place in
this country, east or west, city or coun-
try town, when it comes to part with
ent abroad-those who pretend to
know say they are-that grand opera
and high-class art of all kinds go there
that Sarah Bernhard is more pOpu-
lar with the Partisan canaille than
vaudeville; that every German cobbler
appreciates Wagner that the italian
barber or waiter is a passionate ad-
mirer of Duse, and competent and
discriminating critic of an operate per-
Torrance. But in the United States,
as those who make it their business
are always bemoaning, we have no ar
love for good music, good paintings,
good players or good plays.
A new high-class musical magazine
Musical America, published in New
York, contained recently an editorial
which might have been embodied in a
talk to his classes by Mr.. George Bar
low Penny, with the name Topeka sub
stituted for that of New York. It
might have been q harangue by the

It seems there is an italian piano
teacher in New York who would like to
/ be a concert pianist with the fame Of
PadereWski, but not attaining that
ideal is obliged to take pupils, even as
you and I. He is a well known and
prosperous teacher but is not satisfied
with that so every now and then he
gives a concert and his friends and pu-

deal of unsolicited advice
~ these days about your Christ
mas giving. When a space
- writer can think of nothing else
seasOnable to write about what
he calls the merry Yule-tide," he does
a column of don'ts for Christmas shop
pers in which you are advised to give
practical things and to use common
sense in your selection OF gifts. You
are told not to run in debt for your
Christmas presents and not to spend
more than you can afford. Fun IS
poNed at you because you give away to
people who don't want them, things
you would like to keep for yourself
ana because you are buying gloves for
other people when your own fingers are
sticking out.
But a philosopher is never sensible
and if there is anything lOathe it is
what is commonly described as com
mon sense. 1t goes, like many Of the
other virtues, with all sorts of disagree
able qualities. The most beautiful
thing about Christmas=the thing that
makes all the fun and all the joy of the
geason-is that it is so foolish and
impracticable and extravagant and ro-
mantic-in short so unlike all the rest
of the year in our narrow, petty, self
ish, calculating lives. It is the only
season when we all alike think more
of other people than we do of our
selves. 1t is the only time that most
of us spend anything on anyone except
ourselves and those Immediately de-
pendent upon US 1t brings into the
lives of many their only luxuries. 1t
brings into the lives of all the luxury
of giving. And what a luxury it isl
OF course it is more blessed to give than
to received There is a humiliation and
bitterness in always receiving. The
Glvers alone know the large, satisfying
sense of nobility and generosity And
at Christmas time we are all Civers.
So I say Christmas comes but once
a year tsome say that is too often)
and more money than you can afford
Is we'll spent on others. There is such
a thing as being too practical at Christ
mas time and thus defeating the whole
spirit and purpose of the season. A
blonde doll in a blue satin gown will
make the wash woman's little girl hap
pier and keep her warmer than a pair
OF wooden stockings. One pair of stock
lngs aren't enough anyway and prob

power of destruction. We may believe

many examples of viciousness, 50 many
obnoxious types of life, but can va

than likely we are, perhaps uncon-

JAGGERs, THE Ex-N1EssENGER,
He Catches a Thief Engaged in New
Lines Now.

copyright, 1905, by Central News and
Press Exchanged
London, Dec. 23.-Jaggers, the re-
nowned ex-messenger boy, has given
further proof of the acumen which
recommended him for the much-talk-
ed-of Transatlantic errand in 1900. He
is employed at an oil and color store in
Pimlico, and one day last week a man
called for brush, and, selecting an ex-
pensiVe one, asked the manager to send
the errand boy to his employer for the
money. Jaggers asked to be allowed to
go for the cash. Accompanying the
customer to a distant public house,
which was provided with a number of
convenient swinging doors, the ex-
messenger was asked to wait outside,
While his companion went in to TASK
the governor for the money"
A friendly gap through the swing
doors revealed the thief boiling
through another door, and Jaggers, af-
ter long chase, captured his man. The
robber was sentenced to fourteen days
hard labor.
Jaggers b now nineteen, is a slight
ly built, pale young fellow, and wears
spectacles. He has been in the oil and
color Zine" since his second visit to
America His memorable first journey
was in 1900, when, at the age of thir-
teen and a half years, he was sent by
the district messenger service to carry
three packets for Richard Harding
Davis to New York, Chicago and Phila-
delphia. One Friday evening he was
told to 20, and he sailed the following
morning on the steamship st. Louis.
Mr.. Davis, after Jaggers' return to
England, sent him to Marion (Mass.) +,
where he looked after ten or eleven
prize dogs.
