gulls swoop and hover over every roof

The children in each house have q

gull, and having called them by those
names, they feed them every day.
And each seagull knows what is
meant for him. No seagull attached

gulls would kill him. The people of

CHRISTMAS DAY OF "DEvIL"
Printers Lad, Waiting for Copy From
Mason, Spent Holiday In the
Authors House.

It happened that sad Christmas
tide Of 1863, when Thackeray lay
dead and all the London papers were
busy with his name, my father re-
ceived hurried little note from Ed.
ward Levy-after Levy Lawson, the
present Lord Burnham-asking him
to write the article for the Daily Tele-
graph on Thackeray's death. I found
the note not long ago among some
papers. It was dated December 26.

there was a postscript: 1.-THE bearer

The story of that little printers
devil and how he spent his Christmas
day in our house in Finchley road

annals. He may, in obedience to his
employer, have taken little walk

a Racy Satire Of American
commerciallsm.

When P. T. Barnum uttered
his famous remark that the
American public likes to be
humbugged, he might have ad-
ded with equal fidelity to the
truth that the one thing it likes
better is seeing the other fellow
humbugged. And the second
of these truisms lends zest to
George NJ. Cohan's "Get.Rich.
Quick Wallingford," now en-
joying phenomenal run at
the Gaiety Theater. A more
entertaining production New
York has not held for many
seasons. The basis of the farce
is George Randolph Chester's
"Get-Rich Quick Wallingford"
stories.
"Get-Rich-Quick Walling-
ford,' the play, has a founda-
tion not only in the brilliant
exploits of one exceptionally
adroit manipulation of other
peoples money, but in that
very prevalent human passion
to get something for nothing,
which places almost everybody
on the "gullible list" at some
time or other. When the bright
young man in the play, with
the significant name Lamb"
who desires good investment,
is asked if IS per cent. on his
money will suit him, and ans
wers, "I'd like to get all 1 could"
the audience recognizes and
enjoys a common frailty. "Mr.

That the LIQUOR habit is a disease
is All unccntrovertable fact. That
it can be permanently and effectively
cured by our vegetable treatment has
Eeen made abundantly evident by
the successes which have attended
our efforts. During a period ex-
tending over twenty-five years we
have treated over fifteen thousand
patients for the alcohol, morphine
and tobacco habits of whom ninety
percent have been cured for all
time. We keep a record OF every
patient who comes to The Plym-
outh Sanitarium and Hospital for
treatment and are in touch with
them after they leave here, and by
this means are enabled to arrive at a
correct estimate.
A most important feature of our
treatment, over all others, is that it
leaves no bad or injurious effects
This has been proven beyond perad-
venture by patients who have come
here after having taken treatment
at other institutions and have left us
full of enthusiasm and better fitted
to enter the new life than they had
ever previously been.
All mental depression or physical
prostration is eliminated by our
treatment which leaves the patient
rejuvenated and enthusiastic over

attained in his case.
