Christinas Eve.
'Tis Christmas eve so glad hearts say, ••a Where sleigh bells jingle far away Nearer and nearer we hear their tones, i.
Bringing gladness to sad and lone. The streets arc thronged from mora till. night
With happy faces gay and bright. Some with candy, some wiili toys, Taking home lor the girls and boys. Hark what do I hear in the entry hall? 'Tis the children's voices lor Santa Glaus evil! For Sauta Glaus isroming don't you know,
To fill our stockings from top to toe.
We will hang our stockings by the fireplace, And when lie comes with his smiling face And sees them hanging iu their proper place, lie will proceed to fill them with much grace.
In the morning when we arise The first thing that greets our wafcful eyes, "Will l)e our stockings stretched in size
And if thy'r not we'll be surprised.
But llaik do we ever stop to remember, That a babe was born on a day in December Born in a manger iu Bethlehem,
Born to biing the children to Him.' ESSIE SHAFFER.

DIFFERENCE!
Tennyson could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on and make it wortn $65,000. THAT'S GENIUS.
Vanderbilt can write a few words on a sheet of' paper and make it worth $5,000,000. THAT'S CAPITAL.
The United States can take an ounce and a quarter ofgold, stamp upon it an "Eagle Bird" and make it worth $20. THAT'S MONEY.
A mechanic can take material worth $5 and make it into watch springs worth $1,000. THAT'S SKILL.
A merchant can take an article worth $1 and sell it for $1.50. THAT'S BUSINESS.
Some people will go to Indianapolis to buy goods when they can save money by trading at home. THAT'S FOOLISHNESS.
A laborer works ten bours a day for $3 per day. THAT'S LABOR.
The writer of tbis could write a check for $800,000, but it wouldn't be worth anything. THAT'S ROUGH.
But when we sell you dolls childrens sets of dishes, china, glassware, lamps and fancy basket3 below all competition at home or abroad, and have the best line to select from, THAT'S REALITY,
