 Groucb"

l@ HE Christmas grouch dies hard, A but he begins to breathe fee
 bly,. There is scarcely family
 but has q Christmas grouch- some one who thinks gifts are foolish and that great deal of money Is vast ed at the season now upon us. He hates to see money wasted; he hates to see the Christmas trees cut down; he thinks 1t Is q sin to tell the children the legend about Santa Claus; he scolds about shopping; he is sorry for the post man who carries so many bundles; he says everybody runs into debt at Christ mas and that the new year gets start ed in all wrong on account of the debts; he says the sentiment has all gone out of Christmas on account of its being commercialized and that Christmas trees are menace to life and that once be knew of house that caught fire from a Christmas tree; he says 1t is a sin to spend money for flowers at Christmas.
 The Christmas reformer has hundreds of ideas about how Christmas can be improved. He says the Christmas hol- idays never mean anything to him and he will be glad when they are all over.
 But Christmas remains Christmas just the same. for all the grouch's pro tests, and will be the same forever; will laugh at the grouch and his follies in such a wholesome, hearty way that he will grow ashamed and will join in the merrymaking in spite of him self.
