To be welcomed when you come
Because you will make business hum.
But we're glad when you go,
Beautiful snow.

proprietors, observed Christmas by giving his
he told his men that under no circumstances
were the horses to be let out on Christmas
day. The day was his Christmas present to
the animals. Although opportunity to let
them occurred many times during the day, the
horses were left alone to enjoy their Christ
mas dinners and it is safe to say they appre-

Mr.. Preston is occupying what was formerly
the Dunbar stable, and is manifesting the
same consideration for his horses that was
shown by the late Henry Dunbar. If Mr.
Dunbar had reason to suppose that one apply

that stable. And it goes without saying that
his horses were well fed and well cared for.
