THE CHRISTMAS GUEST.

Whose shall come my way this night,
BY moor or hill or shore,
For him the Blessed candies light,
For him the open door.
lOh, Mary, this for Thy Sons sake
Though mine comes in no mOreJ
Ny hearth is swept, my Yule logs burn,
My board is deCked and spread;
For any who may seem in turn
Is warmth and wine and bread.
ooh, Mary, grant my son this night
Be housed and comfortably
Bid, banned or heggarei come for guest
My heart shall share ais woes
And on his head my hand shall rest
To bless him ere he goes.
(Oh, Mary, grant my son this night
That blessing and rcpose9
This night for Thy one Sons dear sake
Wait light and warmth and wine
Oh, Mary, we be mothers both.
Take these, my tears, for sign
And this do for Thy sweet Son,
Wilt thou not do for miner

DoN'TS FOR CHRISTMAS TIME.

Don't use swinging gas brackets,
ever.
Don't decorate with straw, leaves or
paper.
Don't use cotton to initiate snow any
where.
Don't use an electric wire for a
clothes line.
Don't fail to put out the smoker
or his cigar.
Don't use an arc light without a
spark arrester.
Don't use any light without a globe
or wire screen.
Don't put infammable stuff against
an electric lamp socket.
Don't block aisles or exits with dis
play so as to increase the danger from
fire panic.
Don't let cotton goods or paper shades
rest against electric light bulbs. They
may char and when charred ignite.
Don't have salesrooms Uttered with
rubbish from the unpacking of goods
Show windows aside, rubbish is re-
sponsible for the greatest number of
holiday fires.
Don't expose articles of celuloid to
any temperature above summer heat. In

bunch of celluloid combs exploded from
having a lamp placed two feet below
them.-Clevela News.

Giving.

Don't make presents because You
''have" to; ;only because YOU want TO.
Don't be afraid to give something
within your means; nothing is in worse
taste than to give expensive gifts when
you cannot afford it.
Don't think: He gave me a 50 pres
ent last year; | gave him only 4 Sl.0O
one; this year I'll make il up by giving
him a $3.50 one" Select what you want
to give and give it irrespective of what
'he' did.
Don't give things that are against your
own taste, even if you suspect the taste
of the recipient
Don't give children toys, such as guns
and drums, the use of which will be
source of worry or annoyance to their
parents.
Don't play practical jokes in your Civ
ing; few people like to be made fun OF,
especially at Christmas.
Don't be afraid, when it IS possible, to
give money, that the recipient may
choose his own gift. Remember. espe-
cially with young people, that the Christ
mas money is often the only money Of
the year which they can spend for them
salvss.
Don't. when you give money. ''tie a
string" to it; let it 60 Unrestricted, to
buy something WITH or Just 10
spend" Often n dollar Just TO spend
is worth more to the spender than 50
present.
Don't inquire too particularly what be-
came Of the money you give. If the re
ceiver wants 10 tell you what he did
with it. well and good; he will tell you.
If he does not want 10 tell, why should

Receiving.

Don't receive ungraciOusly Even if
you don't like what you get, pretend 10,
so far as you can. This does not mean
gushing.
Don't count your gifts aloud. and then
boast of the number; nothing is so exc
era BILE.
DON'T insist on showing your gifts to
every chance caller for the next two
weeks after Christmas. For intimate
friends this is well enough. but don
taen II mn too long: even friends ad-
miration has its limits.
Don't expect a present because You
give one. This makes Christmas a time
for barter-an objection often, with some

Reading
THE GARDEN OF TOYS

By the boreal pole where old Santa Claus
lives
In his cottage of taffy and glass,
In the summer his sleigh is we'll packed
away
And his reindeer are pastured on grass
There the Saint reads his books and the
Saint smokes his pipe
And leisurely hours he enjoys;
and his hoes
To the beautiful Garden of Toys.
on tue, Garden of Toys is well planted
with seeds
or every plaything that's out;
Long rows of tin whistles and horns thick
as thistles
And pop.guns, beginning to sprout.
Inc nIarnle-plant, too, is just bringing TO
a crop of delight for the boys
As the Saint showers the iot from his
watering pot
In the beautiful Garden of Toys.

The Evils of Constipation

are many in fact almost every serious
illness has its origin in constipation. and
some medicines, instead of preventing CON
stipation, add to it. This is true of most
cathartics, which, when first used, have a
beneficial effect, but the dose has to be
continually increased, and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest effect.
There is one preparation, however, that
can be relied upon to produce the same
results with the same dose. even after
fifty years daily use, and this is Brand
reth's Pills, which has a record of over
100 years as the standard remedy for con
stipation and all troubles arising from an
impure state of the blood
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine lax
ative tonic pill your grandparents used
and can be found in every drug and medi-
cine store. either plain or sugar-coated.

II your wife is acting awful funny,
Doing many things so queer
Ever seeks to hide her extra money
In corners far and near;
And you're worried,
Likewise fiurried-
BY the actions of your better half;
DO not be anxious-it is to laugh
For pretty soon she will start out,
TO visit every shop
ana all the snow and rain, no doubt,
Won't ever make her stop;
Until she finds
The bargain kinds
And having bought them takes the cars;
