i"IT BEGINS TO LOOK LIKE CHRISTMAS!"*

Christmas! The brightest gem in childhood's crown of pleasure. Christmass, with its visions of weil-fllled sinkings and its dreams of Santa Clans and his raoers. Christmas, midst unbounded joys ant] unlimited sup-

plies of plum pudding. Chritmas, the same this year, last and aU the years before. Christmas ever in the future^yet df the past the fondest page in memory's book of treasures. There are none of us too old to remenber how impatiently we as children awaited tbe coming of Christmas Mij bow on Christmas eve we bad allowed ourselves to hustled off to bed, our little heads filled with childish curiosity, anxiety, and tbe secret determination of listening for the coming of Santa Clans bow, finally overpowered by sleep, we awoke in the early morning, and, filled with emotion, such as we have never seen experienced, hastened down stairs to feast our eyea upon the gifts which Old Kriss Kingle has left behind.

Of aU tbe 365 days in a year there is none so eagerly looked forward to or so generally observed as that of Christmas. Therefore, by tbe advice of Santa Clans, I have laid in an extra large supply of appropriate gifts to make glad the heart of friend, father, mother, sister, brother, wife or sweetheart.
