COLD-BLOODED WITH GIFTS

Program for ThoM Pomona Who Think Banta Claua Deception Should Coma to End. Wo have tried to work out a little Christmas program for those who object to We respect the opinions of all who think the deception ahouid be stopped and feel that we ought to help- them to arrange a disillusionized and thoroughly harmless Christmas —what you might call a gerraless and renovated and disinfected and veracious Joy sen son—which the children will take hold of with enthusiasm without in after dayß wishing to upbraid their parents and hiss at them, "You lied to us I” We suggest, therefore, that the children be called together on Christmas morning by the governor and addreswed as follows: “Kids: We shall now enjoy our gift giving. I tore off a few scads from my roll the other day and handed them to your mother, and she dived headlong into the bargain counter flood and for two whole days appeared not again, and when she did crawl out, battered, jammed, ragged, torn, bruised and old, she clutched to her bosom these few gimcracks, fol-de-rols aid highly unserviceable articles. We have placed them upon these chairs so as to divest the business of any atage effects that might heighten the pleasure In any way or give a false Impression. You are to understand that I had to gTVe up for these things, and I wish to forget about It before I feel real good Inside again, and with these few remarks we will now fall to, and you want to be quick about it, for I want to read my paper in peace."—Judge.
