Funny Christmas Habit.

There is not a drug store cigar shop or barroom in the larger cities which has not been made the storage room for Christmas presents bought before the rush sets in. The strange part of it is that every man who utilizes the friendship of his favorite place round the corner thinks he Is the only one who thought of the plan. Realizing that the stores will be crowded, many far-sighted heads of families bought their presents a week In advance and then, fearing the nature of the myste- rious package would be discovered at the office or at home, they hit upon the device of making a cache in some re- sort near home.

THINGS THE BOYS LONG FOR
Youngsters Prefer Toys or contriv- ances to Test Their Muscular Skill
 or Endurance

yNyHAT shall be said of that blun-
 w dering kindness Of home folk that considers giving the boy only presents of such things as he actu ally needs? It Is an outrage upon the spirit of Christmas to present him with new shoes, ties. handkerchiefs- something that he knows he will get anyway-when his sleeping and walk ing dreams for weeks before have been filled with visions of tops. balls, guns and magic lanterns, says Maud Sou ders Tn the Woman's Home Compan- ion. The most beautiful knitted muf- fer woman's fingers ever constructed cannot compare with jaek-knife with four blades and a eork-serew attach ment, when exhibited over the back fence to a neighbor boy on Christmas morning. Very soon after the days of kits a boy reaches the age when be yearns with his whole soul after any toy or contrivance that will test his muscular skill or endurance. At this age an appropriate present would be rawhide or rope lafiat, such as is used by the Buffalo Bill riders. pair of hand or arm stilts will be re- eeiyed with equal favor, and in the same category comes a new fishing rod, snow shoes. tennis racket, golf clubs, a good ball. lamp or eyelometer for his wheel, or even live pet, new dog, a pair of rabbits or guinea plgs-somethlng that he can pet and train for his own.

Plants for Christmas.

Other things being equal, 1t Is bet ter to buy plants near ones home than to travel afar. Do not be tempted. even by cheap offers, to go miles away, for counting car fares, packing, expressage and lost time. the ultimate cost Is very likely to be more than if you paid q good deal higher price at home. Of course It may happen that one grower or florist has large stock of some one thing and can sell at a low rate but dealers usually have an understanding with one another es- pecially regarding holiday prices, and for weeks before the holiday season they have been balancing stock with each other, so that the better quality plants are of an almost fixed value.
