was just going out, shut the door,
came back, and sat down in front Of
his wife,
my dear girl" he said, 81 am glad
that you have brought this up, because
we may as we'll settle it now as at any
other time. You know that for years
we have been. doing this sort Of thing
every Christmas. About this time we
both declare that we won't give each
other anything; then, just before
Christmas, we sneak out, and each Of
US buys the other present. This year
1t will be the same. We will promise
faithfully not to do it; but, just as sure
as fate, we shall break our word"
In view Of this alarming fact that
we are apparently the slaves of a
yearly habit, what have you to sug-
gest?'
Simply this-that we each of US
agree now to buy the other a present"
II know that you will get me some
thing don't want!" ~
and l know that you will do the
same; but isn't that what we have
been doing all along?"
Then l don't see that we have
gained anything"
Haven't we? Why not? Aren't we
doing 1t openly? Think of the moral
uplift!"
Mrs. Whittier shook her head.
II don't agree with you," she said.
II think it would be much better for
US to select ourselves the presents we
want. If you like, you can come with
me while | get mine"
Nonsense! That won't do at all. 1t
is absolutely necessary for us to carry
out the element of surprise. There is
some sneaking, contemplate trait in
human nature which makes us want,
once year, to surprise others. That
is at the basis of all Christmas giving.
It's kind of impulsive, irresponsible
attitude which impels us to buy some
thing that we delude ourselves into
believing the recipient is crazy for;
while all the time we ought to know
that it's probably the last thing on
earth he or she wants. Would you rob
nc both of this fendish Measure?
The Twin Falls times. [volume] (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1905-1916, 1913-12-16

when the Whittlers were accustomed
to spring" their annual surprises
each of them bore that perfectly con-
fdent and identically joyful air which
usually preceded the presentation OF
something we think the other person
has been longing for.
Whittier advanced with smile.
my DEAR" he said, Il have the sur.
prise of lifetime for you"
"Oh, do tell mel" said Mrs. Whittier,
with a hypocritical air of gaiety and
anticipation, although inwardly she
shrank from the ordeal II know it is
something that l want!"
What do you suppose it ISL" her
husband cheerfully inquired.
Haven't the least idea"
-Well-it is-it is-guess!"
ooh, couldn't! Tell me, quick!"
well, it's absolutely nothing. Now.
isn't that surprise?"
Mrs. Whittier burst into tears.
You horrid thing!" she exclaimed.
Il shall never forgive you'll"
But"
Don't you know that it isn't the
value of the thing. l might not have
liked it; but the thought that you had
tried to please me would have been
everything. didn't do that to you!"
Whittier, beside himself with sudden
remorse, sprang to her side.
Il was only joking" he exclaimed
breathlessly. Honest, was only jok-
ink. What have you got for me?"
She drew from neighboring closet
a dressing-sack, over which Whittier
went into raptures, all the time feeling
like a criminal. Then, with a solemn
air, he drew from his pocket twenty
dollar bill.
IF you don't like it," he said, you
can exchange it for something else"
Mrs. Whittier shook her head
You didn't intend to give it to me,
and I'm not going to take it now" she
said. "It was an afterthought."
But"
She folded it up and put it back into
his waistcoat pocket.
"I'll forgive you this time" she
smiled; but remember, my dear, that
1t is very much better to GO on year
after year giving each other things
that we don't want than to attempt to
break up an old habit; which. after all,
foolish as 1T seems, is founded upon
genuine human sentiment"

SOME ODD THINGS
ABOUT CHRISTMAS

IN Greece the kalikantzaroi are gen.
| orally represented as mere tricky
sprites who live, as a rule, under
ground, appearing to men only on the.
nights of the year between December
rs and January 6. They pass the days
during this period in dark caverns,
where they subsist on serpents and liz
ards, and come forth to dance in the
moonlight, either alone or in company
with the nereids, and also with mortal
women, If they can lure any to join
them.
INDIANS say the best time to catch
| deer is on Christmas night at
twelve o'clock, when they believe
the deer kneels.
DOUMANIAN girls can learn, during
N the Christmas season, whether or
not they are going to be married
within the coming year. At midnight
they enter the stable and strike the
foot Of the first OK they come across,
saying: This year; next year." If the
OK gets up at the first stroke the girl
will marry within the year; if it gets
up at the second stroke he marriage
will take place the year following; If
1t does not get up at all the gods have
not yet decided on her wedding date.
I N many countries where they go by
| the old calendar Christmas is cele-
brated January 6, the celebration
beginning twelve days before.
CAKES weighing from one to twelve
~ pounds are made in Friedrich
stadt. They place them in exalt-
ed position and play to them, repre-
senting, as they say they do, st. Mich
olas. OF rye bread they make boar
or hog, six or seven inches high, with
gilt snout and tail, with gold rings
around its knees. The business men
put goods they have exhibited for sale
on revolving disk and rattle them off,
" LINGEEST (Kind Jesus or Child
N Jesus) presides over all Christ
mas celebrations in Schleswig-
Holstein. He is supposed to bring
presents to the children, and some
times Furnishes naughty ones.
IN Christmas day in Ditmarsh the
~ cattle get an extra allowance Of
fodder. The cats and dogs, too,
get better meals. At times the cattle
are admitted to the higher joys to the
extent that a candle is placed above
the trough from which they feed,
just as each member of the family has
his own candle, made by himself.
These candles must be heavy and big,
for the one that goes out first will die
first.

WILL STOP WHITING INSURANCE

After April 80. the stock lire in
companies Of the country
win suspend business IN Missouri. In
the meantime they will not allow
their agents TO cancel and rewrite
policies expiring after May 10 so as
20 carry them for a longer term. or
20 write any new business taking
effect after May IL.
This drastic and unusual action Is
aot taken. so the companies declare,
rom any motive OF retaliation. but
because they regard It as impoE sible
10 comply with the provisions OF the
Orr Law passed In the closing hours
OF the recent legislature. This law
Furnishes any combination or under
standing which tends to reduce COM
petition or increase the cost o. in
srrancc. makes the %anager and
Officers OF the companies outside the
state responsible for acts Of their
agents, and thus subjects them to q
maximum penalty OF five years IT,
the penitentiary and $1,000 fine.
Violation Is made a felony. SO that
, these company Officers IN other sta
.es can be extradited and tried.
while the law also takes away from
hem the ordinary presumption OF
Innocence.
In addition to the fine and i'm
prisonm.nt provided for agents and
officers. the property OF the company
IN the state can be forfeited TO the
state in case OF conviction. and II IL
made prima facie evidence of guilt
II any agent consilts any rate book.
schedule or other sheet I'm fixing ra.
ties Tor Insurance. The companies
hold that this compels agents TO
guess afi'nsi one another IN making
rates. and ~ this would make the
business even more Improbable thar
now. and IN view OF the danger o.
lines aud imprisonment and forfeit.
iure OF property. they hold that no
other course is open to them than
itbeu sIspension OF business until Il
a be found how they can safely
offer insurance TO the citizens o.
Missouri.
Inability TO get fire insurance will
seriously affect commercial credit. as
wholesalers insist upon such protec-
ton and will also interfere with
mortgages and other loans. which re.
ouire such protection. The insur-
auce companies claim that insurance
II essential to commercial credit. and
that for this reason their business H.
entitled to a fairer deal than II "
given under this law. They hold
that the peculiar nature OF theii
business makes combination and so.
operation essential. In the interest
OF the public as well as OF the COM
