Don't tell people that you do not
expect to receive any presents. You
know you do.
Don't forget that the clerk who has
been working long hours for many
weeks ID human.
Don't, II the present you are send

Don't hunt for price marks on the
presents you receive.
Don't watt till Christmas for tho

Don't let your left pocket know
what your right pocket gives for

Mr.. Glenfaddle started out about
two weeks before Christmas - solve
the servant problem.
"-ke trouble with women" ha said
to his wife. is that they don't 30 at
the thing right. This trouble win
never be settled until 1t 10 settled By
diplomacy. and diplomacy 10 . thing
that, l am sorry to say, doesn't come
natural to women. Servant girls are
only human-that's q thing which II
too often forgotten. Treat your girls
kindly and they will stand BY you.
That's the rule l 60 by In my busi-
ness affairs. What kind Of . time do
you suppose l would have with the
men In my once II l tried to manage
hem % a woman manages the help in
her kitchen? Why. I'd always have
70 keep breaking In new people.
Nov let me give you q few point
ers. Get something nice for the girl
IN Christmas-something that you
would be glad to have yourself. Most
women give their servants q few
cheap trtnkets that serve no other
purpose than to show the girls that
they are put away down in the social
scale.
Instead Of getting her a ~ten.cent
comb or q new continuance to scrApe
The crumbs OF the dining-room table,
buy her a nice present this year. Give
her something she will be proud to
show to her friends. Then. you see,
they will get to envying her and COM

what she got from us, and what'l be

the result? She'll conclude that this
is a pretty good place to work; she'll
see that we give her credit for pos
sessing good taste, and we will have
no more trouble over the servant
problem for awhile anyway"
Mrs. Glenfaddle decided to take her
husbands advice for once. II the SOL
emn truth must be told, she has never
become addicted to the habit OF doing
this. But there seemed to be q few
CLEANS OF reason in his argument.
and accordingly she decided to make
her Emma thrice glad on Christmas
morning. The girl had been very pa.
tient and faithful for quite q while
anyway. and 1t was no more than
right that merit should be rewarded.
Among the things IN the box which
Emma found on the kitchen table
when she went down to get breakfast
or the morning Of the great day were
cloth for q fine new dress. Z toilet set
for her bureau. . glove box with q
pair Of gloves In 1t, and . purse made
Of seal leather.
The next day when Mr.. Glenfaddle
got home his wife said:
"Oh. by the way, Arthur. I Wish
you'd put an ad. In the paper tomor.
row. Emma has given me notice that
she will leave US q week from Thurs.
day. She has found . place whore
she can get IS cents Z week more than
we are paying her."

Lest They Forget.

Hunt out the little hme girl,
The poor boy who Il blind;
Hunt u the weary widow
Who thinks the world dnkind:
Search down among the novels
Where gladness seldom stray1,
And teach the doubling people
There still are Christmas dayn
You have been busy planning
TO spread your gifts afar,
10 add your fair love-tokens
Where joys and comforts ara.
But have you in your gladneoo
Bestowed n kindly thought
On those who sit In darkness,
Whose crusts = dearly bought9
Your heart ID full Of kindness.
You hear the anthems sung
And gaze up at the windows
Where ribboned wreaths are hunRs
You've heard the sweet old story
With reverence retold-
But there are hungry children
Where all 10 dark and cold.
Hunt out the little lame girl,
The poor boy who IL blind:
Hunt out the weary widow
Who thinks tho world unkind:
Go down among the victims
OF chance and greed and crime
And cause them TO remember
That this ID Christmas timo.

Along the road to Bethlehem
Three weary wise men slowly Jared,
And wondering shepherds sazed 1t them
And bowed the heads which they hs6
barred
Three wise men who he'd journeyed far
Rode slowly Ger the hills that night
Still following their guiding mar
Whose constant beams were bcoad and
bright.
Al Christmas time they heard . vo;os
That sweetly sounded far on high:
"Rejoice. ye sons Of men. ~rejoiceI'"
The words rang clearly from the Ky.
The trembling wise men paused to hear
The song that angels sang to them.
And ceased to doubt and turned from
fear.
