Never look a Christmas gift in
the price tag
There is nothing so rare as a
present you wanted
A ton of coat is rather to be
chosen than gaudy jewels
Beware of mistletoe it grows
on the border of matrimonial
jungles
Better broken toy drums than
broken eardrums
Christmas spirit seldom intoxi-
cates but it generally bankrupts
Christmas belles manage to
ring in quite a few gifts 1

Christmas Anticipation
"I don’t believe the approach a
Christmas brings you a single joy-
ous anticipation" said the sweet
young thing
" Don't eht ” replied the savage
bachelor " Listen to my secret
That youngster on the third floor
ie sure to get a tin trumpet for a
present"
"Yes"
"Then he will get careless and
leave it on the hall floor r And
then I shall step on it with both
feet Don’t you coil that a joyous
anticipation? "

The Canny 8cot at Yule -
A commercial traveler had
taken a large order in Scotland
for a consignment of hardware
and endeavored to press upon the
canny Scottish manager who had
given the order a Christmas gift
of a box of Havana cigars
"Now" he replied “Don’t try to
bribe a man I cudna tak them
and J am a member of the kirk"
" But will you not accept them
ae a Christmas present t"
"I cudna" said the Boot
"Well then" said the traveler
"suppose I sell you the cigars for
a merely nominal sum— say six-
pence T"
"Weel in that ease" replied the
Scot "since yon press me and
not liking toe refuse an offer weel
meant I think PH be taking two
bosses"

and Others
There is nothing truer than
a fairy tale It is the quin-
tessence of what Aristotle calls
ths probable impossibility
The best of the fairy tales are
folklore giving the boiled-
dawn wisdom of centuries of
experience and the truths they
teach are the old old facts of
human nature put into visible
form for childish minds to
grasp These tales do not
teach morals by precept but
truths by example says Col-
lier's No amount of teach-
ing about the brotherhood of
man and Christmas kindness
and the rewards of virtue can
have such an effect on the
small objective soul as is pro-
duced by the vinon of Santa
Claus with his white beard and
twinkly eyes coming with toys
for good little boys and
switches for bad little boys
shedding jollity and benevo-
lence till over the place Long
years from now when every
Incident of these stories is lost
to the memory the knowledge
of fundamental human values
will remain Teach the chil-
dren fairy tales and you teach
them the wisdom of ths ages
Ito Christmas
Tima Afjc&i i
There's a fire in the grate and
light in the hall
For it’s Christmas time again j
And the sleighbells ring and the
children call
For it’s Christinas time again
It’s time for a Christian land to raise
Her loudest paeans of love and
praise t
For the Holy Babe of the Bethlehem
days ?
For it’s Christmas time again
S’
There’s a wreath of green at the
windowpane t
For it’s Christmas turn again
And the church bells echo the ghid
j refrain
For it’s Christmas time again
Oh it’s time to turn with the golden
smile
jTo the friend we doubted and
r scorned awhile
jTo rid our hearts of their greed and
! guile!
For it’s Christmas time again
