Hints for Christmas.

Don’t ask your child what he wantl unless you Intend giving It to him. Though money makes the mare go, It makes Santa Claus come. Don’t buy your best girl a present on the Installment plan, as she might Jilt you before you had made all tho payments. Hub the price mark off the present unless it is an cjyienslve one. If you wish to surprise your girl never ask her what she would lilt* for Christmas. When you have the Christmas trei up, it doesn’t mean that you have It fixed up. At Christmas time it is well enough to ape the English us far as the plum pudding is concerned. Some persons never wish you a merry Christmas unless they think they will get tomething for doing so. Santa Claus would never make i school-master. Whatever is good h« puts at the foot of the stocking. The bachelor who puts his thumt into the boardirig-houio Christmai pie is apt to pull out a collar button. —Judge.
