Several accidents on Christmas eve
and day each year recall the fact appar.
ent only on that day, that the Christ.
mas tree is quite as dangerous as it is
pretty, and that the proud father per.
sonating Santa Claus should take the
precaution to equip himself with ashes
tos whiskers. About the usual number
of fires are recorded in the country each
year as result of the infammable ma
ture Of the Christmas tree and its dec
orations and their careless handling.
This warning always follows Christ
mas just as the cutlery against toy pis.

OF course no rose is free from thorns,
and apparently no holiday can be OBJ
served in the conventional fashion With
out risk of accident to the merrymakers
Sputtering candles on Christmas tree
are very real danger, and the same may
be said of the trees themselves tho

What q Holiday Ought to Be.

Gen. Ferdinand w. Peck, the Chi
cago capitalist, says, according to the
New York Globe, that the way the av-
erage man spends his annual vacation
is all wrong.
Its only now and them" he said,
"that a man finds out what a holiday
ought to be. We all think that 1t
means going away from home, drink
ing more or less and wearing our
bodies out by walking, or cycling, or
mountain climbing, or something like
that. That sort of thing is supposed
to be great rest to a tired man who
works with his brains. How vaca-
ton spent in that way could possibly
be Of benefit to a professional man
who has to use his brains have never
been able to understand. Very likely
a professional ass might be benefited
in that way, but it's all nonsense to
say that it rests a lawyers, or EDITORS,
or authors. or even politician s
brains. In my opinion, the best and
most bene: eial way in the world for
the man , 10 makes his living solely
by the use Of his gray matter to spend
his holidays is simply to do the gentle
loaf In some green and shady spot far
away from the madding crowd, and to
keep himself in touch with the out
side world by having his favorite
newspaper mailed to him every day"

Ethel was certainly very coura geous.
She was also strong, young and healthy.
and had an unusual amount Of self-pride
all of which kept her from giving way
under the load of grief that came upon
her after Jacks faithless behavior. But
she felt her sorrow none the less deeply,
and hid it from her fathers sight.
Captain Polling had been away nearly
week on visit to an old friend. anil
Ethel was feeling the daily monotonv Of
her life very irksome as she once more
set about making her fathers coffee.
There were letters on the table. but
she did not feel particularly curions
about them. AS she placed the coffee not
on the table the writing on the snyelone
next to her own plate caught her ewes
The blood rushed to her face, and. with
nervous haste she picked up the enyelope
and opened it. She read the invitation
card, and the flush fade slowly. leavinp

II he thinks few civilities of this kind
will make amends for his conduct in thx

Tor the loss Of his love by holding ont
