The next thing he knew he was sprawling in confused tumble of toys and fed cotton flannel and white hair and sacking at tho foot of the stairs.
 Blame those galoshes!' was his first unceremonious remark as he pulled himself out of the confusion. And there stood Amy, Bob and Mrs. Meg and Bobby and Peggy-all more or less wide-eyed and incredulous.
 Santa fell downstairs; that's all. He isn't used to stairs, you know, said Meg with rare presence of mind anxious only to preserve her chil. dren's faith in the myth of Santa Claus. She hurriedly adjusted the false face that had Topped up in the fall.
 Poor old Santa" said little Peggy,
 
 softly batting his arm, and Bobby was eagerly examining the toys that had spilled from the pack. Great guns, it's Ted!" began Bob in an aside. but Meg clapped her hand over his mouth. Meantime Amy was holding whis pered conversation with the confused Santa.

 You might tell Amy that I am here," said Ted.
 "Oh, she doesn't mind the smoke replied Meg. Besides, she almost never comes into this room."
 Ted felt himself defeated.

 To be sure, we no longer take out insurance against ghosts, and if we saw hobgoblin we'd want to know why the hotel bellhop had grown those whskers. But there is one kind of su- perstition which we seem to be giving more encouragement all the time, and that is the New Year prophecy.
 The true New Year prophet is a cheerful soul If he ever has any good news concerning the future, he care fully nibbles at the hard ground with pickax and buries it. Bad news, calamity, disaster, catastrophe, misfor- tune, these are the staple groceries in which he prefers to. deal. And he has such a clever way of making good, too.
 The New Year prophet wears crepe to work every morning while he is put ting his forecast in order. He also wears a long, sad face and murmurs ever and anon that the worst is yet to come. He does this in order that the i world may grow pale and weep and shudder He just loves to show us a good time.
 The way the New Year prophet makes good on his predictions is to promise every kind of bad luck there is, from famine to earthquake, and | from plague to war.

Law and Custom of Pay Envelopes.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Invading with judicial daring a realm
where unwritten law is immanent and
inexpugnable, Vice Chancellor Griffin
DEGREES that a man need not turn over
to his wife his unopened pay envelope.
What husband must give his wife,
he tells a Jersey City litigant. lis as
much as he can, and as much as she
requires within reason.
The law is thus, no doubt. But laws
enforcement rests upon the ultimate
argument-force. When the United
States Supreme Court justly and hu-
namely sustained the autonomy of the
Cherokee Indian tribe. President Jack
son said: John Marshall has made his
decision: now let him enforce it," The
Judge did not and could not do SO: the
Cherokees lost undoubted legal rights
because there was no power to defend
them.
1t may prove SO in the Jersey City
case. Unless Vice Chancellor Griffin is
prepared to defend his decree: unless
he escorts the inquiring husband to
his home and by personal prowess en-
forces the rule of reason-in which
case he would risk bringing both COM
batants upon him at once-he must let
the decree go for what it is: an alb
stract statement of legal lore. The
husbands theoretic rights have a
Cherokee chance.
