One family who were over the stock

that they could not have tree. Inc
children were disappointed and feared
q stupid day.
An ingenious sister solved the prob
lem Of gift giving in somewhat novel
way. She asked all the members OF
the family to wrap their gifts for each
other into neat packages, direct them
plainly and leave them in the library
on Christmas eve.
No one was told what was to be done
with the packages, and each member
was sworn to secrecy, so that she did
not know that the others presents
were to go into the library also.

not be found without considerable
searching.
On Christmas day small boy of the
family dressed in the costume of
Christmas herald of Elizaoethan days
went through the house every hour
during the day blowing a trumpet and
proclaiming that Christmas hunt
would be held in a certain room.
The family had a merry time until
all the gifts were found anC opened
and enjoyed them in a leisurely way
until the next visit of the herald an
hour later.
AS the family was a large one, the
excitement was prolonged well into the
evening, and all voted 1t much more
interesting way of giving presents than
to have them all in the morning stock
ings or hung on the Christmas tree.

The Sunday School board met on Ia st

completely organized and better officer
ed than now. The school has a splen
didly trained and mature teacher for

know how to teach. and not just pick
ups for the time being. Prof. Sullivan

Effective Punishments.

One Of the first judges-real judges
of Deadwood put in operation many
odd ideas Of corrective punishment
If man was brought before him
charged with shooting up a peaceful
place without provocation this Judge
used to delight in tolling on half a
dozen good shots, whose business it
was to fire all around the accused,
who was made to stand up against
a wall. The closer the>shots and the
more scared the accused the better
the Judge liked it. If the accused
demurred against this little tit-for-tat
punishment he was formally ordered
to stand up and the maximum SEN
tence under the code was melted out
to him. In the case Of a prisoner who
might not be impressed with the tar
get practice sentence there were 9TH
er penalties, such as a five mile gaIlop
on a frisky horse, with the legs Of the
accused tied under the horses belly
and saddle made of fair sized stones
wrapped in blanket for his seat Pro-
test against this meant again the ex-
treme code punishment.
