AS TO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

Christmas is so near that Chr.,u shopping is even now the duty and light of n large army of buyers. la residents and visitors.
 The obnoxious feature of the ss,. is the constant day long crush at il stores during the last week prcceE, the great holiday. Tha, is the ii, when it is most difficult 10 get ,r; factory service, and it is also the fiji, when the stores are taxed to their u most and clerks worked to the poin, ! almost stupefying exhaustion. It hI hard season for merchant, help and eu toner. It spells the holiday for {, shopper, who gets disappointing result for the merchant who works himyI out under the trying strain, and for ,Il clerks and delivery boys, whose ep1 tions make their wan faces n dis,rv.| ing sight on the one day when joy s,| good cheer should prevail.
 The remedy is in the hands of a, shoppers themselves. It is early buyi'I that will give the desired relief.
 There are both selfish and unsclis reasons for early shopping. Tn, 4 sortmcnts at the stores are better DO, than they will be V week or ten day hence. The service is better beio, the congestion begins and all cOul tions are more satisfactory io the pcs, of mind of the buyer.
 Early shopping will help the Os worked clerks and salcspeople and vi leave little joy of the season vi them, when Christmas day dawns.
 The shopper who has any regard f her own nerves and for the eOnysl cncc and comfort of others, will do b buying early, instead of waiting un' the last week of the shopping season.
