PRESENTS BOUGHT FOR SHOW
Exploiting Ones Own Vanity in Be-
stowal of Gifts Is Poor
Policy.

The most miserable Christmas pres
ent, the kind that no human being is
rich enough to afford, is that which
is bought to make a show, to exploit
ones own vanity.
When you are tempted to buy a
show on present, remember that the
recipient has some rights. One who
understands will be made unhappy
by that kind of gift You know your
self that when you receive a pres
ent that Represents a great sacrifce
on the, part Of the giger it makes
You feel miserable, even when the
right spirit is behind it.
The cost in money is about the
poorest of measures for any kind of
gift. The thoughtfulness in it, the
recognition Of desire for things un-
asked for. the affection that goes with
It, counts for muck more. Every
Christmas each of us receives mes
sage that means more. than the most
extensive gift Yet we forget that

A Christmas stoekinn.

1t is not always the gift itself. but
the way in which it is presented that
commends itself particularly to the
recipient. To the girl who thinks
she is too old to hang up her stock

On Thanksgiving day a man sSe
down and began to write to a distant
friend. But he wrote only few
lines, and laid it aside. The next day
he took up the pen, put down the new

item of news of interest to them

So each day from Thanksgiving till
Christmas he added something to the
letter, as he would in diary, end

reach his friend on Christmas morn

message:

VISIT FROM
ST. NICHOLAS

Twas the night before Christmas when all through
the house
Not creature was stirring, not even mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugarplums danced through their
heads;
And Mama in her kerchief and In my cap
Had just settled our brains for long winters nap;
When out on the lawn there arose such clatter
sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window fled like flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
Gave the lushe of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and quick
knew in moment it must be Saint Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by
name.
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancerl and
Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and BGtzenl
To the top Of the porch! To the top Of the walt
Now dash away! dash awayl dash away, all! -
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle mount to thesky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full of toys and Saint Nicholas too.
And then in a twinklng | heard on the roof
The prancing and paving Of each little hoof-
As drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with bound.
He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all furnished with ashes and
soot
A bundle Of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like peddler just opening his pack;
His eyes-how they twinkled! His dimples, how
merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His drol little mouth was drawn up in a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The stump Of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like wreath;
He had broad face, and little round belly
That shook when he laughed like bowlful Of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right Jolly old elf,
And laughed when saw him, in spite of myself.
A wink Of his eye and twist Of his head
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, butwent straight to his work
And filed all the stockings; then turned with jerk.
And laying bis finger aside of his nose
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, 20 his team gave whistle,
And away they all flew ike the down Of thistle;
But heard him excaim ere he drove out Of sight,
Merry Christmas to all, AID TO all good night. :
The Madisonian. (Richmond, Ky.) 1913-1914, 1913-12-23

This is the Stocking long and fine
That the little girl hung at the end
of the line
There by the Hearth, where, all in a
row,
The stockings hung waiting for
Santa, you know;
They hung by the Chimney big and
wide
That Santa Claus climbed down in
side
At the House where the Reindeer
stopped
That drew the Sleigh
That carried the Pack
That Santa Claus brought at Christ
nas.-From ST. Nicholas.

GIRL CLUCkS LIKE

The case Of little Anna Samaron at

Anna is just as hale and hearty as can
he, but before she has been asleep five
minutes she is CluCking like "A hen.
Hour after hour Anna, apparently
sleeping peacefully, will be heard ut

best conveyed as a monotonous "cluck
