A Christmas Present That Means
Something.

There is one especially good thing
about a Christmas present OF The
Youths Companion. 1t shows that
the giver thought enough of you to
give you something worth while.
1t is easy to choose something cost
ing a great deal more which is abb
solutely useless, but to choose pres
ent costing only $175 that will pro-
vide a long years entertainment, and
the uplifting companionship of the
wise and great, is another matter
There is one present, however, which
does just that-The Youths Compan-
ion.
ii you want to know whether it is
appropriate or welcome, just visit the
home of some Companion subscriber
on Companion day.
Do not choose any Christmas pres
ent until you have examined The
Companion We will send you free
sample copies and the beautiful Pros
pectus for 1911, telling something OF
how The Companion has recently been
enlarged and improved.
The one to whom you give the sub
scription will receive free all the num-
bers of 1910 issued after the money
is received; also The Companions Art
Calendar for 1911, Autographed in
twelve colors and gold. These will be
sent to reach the subscriber Christ
mas morning, if desired.
You, too, as giver Of the subscrip-
ton, will receive a copy OF the Calen-
dar.

baggers, thus adding materially to

The prummer,s Sermon.

''Certainiy will make few re-
marlSs,' says the cigar salesman who,
because of his solemn garb. has been
mistaken for a man Of the cloth.
Ascending the platform, he says:
''AIen are much like cigars Often
you cannot tell by the wrapper what
the filler Is. Sometimes good old
stogy is more popular than an i'm
ported celebrity. Some men are all
right in the showcase on display, but
are great disappointments when you
get them home. No matter how fine
a man is, eventually he meets his
match. A two-fer often puts on as
many airs as fifty-center. Some men
never get to the front at all except
during campaigns. Some are very
fancy outside and are selected for
presents. Others have rough ex-
terror, but spread cheer and comfort
about them because of what is inside.
But all men. as all cigars, good or
bad, two-fers, stogies or rich or poor,
come to ashes at the last. San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

A male fish which hatches the young
of IT'S mate is the Chromis pater-
famiIlas. 1t is found In the Lake
of Tiberias, Palestine. Strange to
say, this industrious fish matches Its
young in its mouth. When the female
has spawned in the sand, the male
approaches and draws the eggs into
his glIls, where they remain until
hatched, when they struggle out of
their confinement into the parents
mouth. AS many as 200 perfect
young are sometimes found In the
mouth of an adult male. Hew the
fish manages to feed itself without
swallowing the young is a mystery.
The grown fish Is about seven inches
long and one and three quarters wide.
Its back Is olive green, shot with
blue. and the belly is silver white,
marked with green and blue. Near
ancient Capernaum some hot springs
form a small stream which runs into
the lake, and 1t Is In these warm
waters that the chromis abounds.

SHERlDAN's RUSE.
II Settled the Dramatist's Account
With His Wine Merchant.

It Settled the Dramatist's Account
With His Wine Merchant.
1t Is related of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan, the dramatist and statesman,
that, always In debt, he had among
his creditors the brothers Chalie, who
were the partners In a wine firm In
1775.
One day when he was giving din
ner party to some distinguished people
Sheridan sent for one Of the brothers.
told him he was now able to settle his
account and Invited him to the dinner
party, asking him to come before the
hour for some private conversation.
Chalie arrived early. and he was no
sooner in the house than Sheridan sent
off a servant with note to the clerk.
desiring: him, as Mr. Chalie was fa-
voring him with his company, to send
as soon as possible three dozen Of
burgundy. two dozen Of claret and two
dozen of port, with a dozen Of old
hook.
The unsuspecting clerk gent the
wine. with which the guests were. so
pleased that they asked where it came
from. Sheridan. turning toward Chalie.
said, II am indebted to my friend here
for all the wine you have tasted and
am always proud TO recommend him."
It was not until the following morn
ing that Chalie realized the double
meaning In sherIdan's words. The
debt was Cancelled.

course, no fan will take credence In
this report until he actually sees the

years these teams have been unable
to reach agreements for a decisive

of seven games will start at Amuse-
ment Park next Saturday. in conjunc-
tion with the Perth Amboy-Port

four out of the seven games will be
adjudged the champion team.
The first game Of this series is
