this must end. Much blame would &C.

commonly known as Jimmie Mac, was

tainly by hearsay.
Then came the first great surprise
of this affair of many surprises. Jesse
Black waived examination. It came
like a thunderbolt to the prosecution.
1t was not Blacks way Of doing bust
ness, and it was generally believed
that, as Munson had so forcibly
though inelegantly expressed it to
Billy Brown, "He would fight like
hell" to keep out of the circuit courts.
He would kill this incipient Nemesis
in the bud. What, then, had changed
him? The county attorney had rath-
er looked for a hard-fought defence

bility for the misbranding to another,
who would, Of course, be off some
where on business trip. to be absent

might be he would try to make good a
trumped-up story that he had but late
ly purchased the animal from some
Indiana cattle-owner from up country
who claimed to have bill-of-sale from
Langford. He would not have been
taken aback had Black calmly pro-
duced bill-of-sale.
The absoluteness Of the surprise
Iushed his clean-shaven face a little,
although his grave immobility of ex-
preston underwent not flicker. It
was surprise, but it was a good
surprise. Jesse Black was bound over
under good and sufficient bond to ap.
pear at the next regular term of the
circuit court in December. That much
accomplished, now he could buckle
down for the big fight. How often had
he been shipwrecked in the shifting
sands of the really remarkable decis.

This time, as by miracle. he had es-
capped sands and shoals and sunken
rocks and rode in deep water.

o, Christmas time will soon be here,
With mirth and merry cheer;
IT'S time to think Of presents now,
For all our friends so dear.
What matter though we're poor in
purse?
And destitute of pelf?
Why, don't you know, the incest gifts
Are those we make ourself?
Well take broken sewer-pipe
For an umbrella jar;
Just put coat of gilt paint on,
And there's gift for Pa!
A quinine pill-box painted blue
Will make a bonbonniere,
picture painted on the top
We'll give a festive air.
From Uncle's old suspenders
Well fix a belt for Kate,
And mark it price two dollars"
Twill please her, sure as fate!
An empty pickle bottle
VIII make a lovely vase;
Tie scarlet ribbon round it,
And mark it Love to Grace"
A box with Mas old wrapper
Upholstered smooth and neat,
Will make a Handsome footstool
For Grandma's dear old feet!
Well rummage through the garnet,
And lug the things about;
Through musty piles of cast-offs
Well turn it inside out;
Well tack and paint and polish,
From gilt to golden brown;
And broken sofa, chair and couch
Re-vamp with some old gown.
o. won't our friends be glad to get
The presents we have made!
They're sure to put all purchased gifts
Away back in the shade.
And naught so useless, worn or old,
But by device or shifts
Can be made into "home- made" things
To serve as Christmas Gifts!
