PERSONS IN’SELECTING PRESENTS for friends have but little regard for the necessities of the parson. This is a matter to always considor, and if your girl hasn’t got a nice set of Jewelry, nothing, we assure you, will prove more acceptable than one of those beautiful sets at E. L. Price’s. He also keeps a stock of other articles suitable for presents. Prepare to dose yojir chid sen with the usual quantity of legendary fiction about one ancient Santa Claus, a burglar, or housebreaker by profession who, annually, towards the lost of this month, steals into bouses through keyholes or down chimneys, and by filling their stockings withjimeracks, bribes the little one into silence while be rifles the old man’s pocket?. i . -T What » the best and cheapest holiday present? is the question that is dwelling in the minds of the people now days ; and I would say to those enquiring minds that the best and cheapest-present is a good photograph, large size, in a nice frame. This will last a lifetime, and will be the first choice of your friends. You can get those kind of photographs at the New Gallery, over E. Kannai’s drug-store.
