On Kceplii); Christmas.
Christmas has luion so long as-
sociated in the popular mind with
the exchanging of gifts that we
have lost somewhat the meaning
these gifts, which are, indeed,
intended only as symbols of lovi
and good-will. Only ' to children
, give with . , that , freedom , , . and .
spontaneity which makes the gift
more precious to tho giver and to
tlio recipn-nt. To got as much as

Christmas is njfestival of the fam-

a 'qusmlaiices are them who have
no families - how many excellent
old bachelors and lonely old la-
dies I We do not mean the poor
—there are plenty of philanthrop¬
ists to look nfler them, and they
are usually well blessed with fam¬
ilies; hut a man may be as rich
as Croesus, and v«t if he have no
place to eat tmt u hotel ho is pool¬

to a class w hich may weil bo an
object of your solicitude. Perhaps

they havo not. Bo good to them

It is not for the dinner’s sake, tun

guests at your homo, and these
lonely people will bless you. And
when they have told a story at
your board and dandled tin-chil¬
dren (if by good luck you have
any), and sat about tho fire in the
evening, Row much clu-eied and
hot to red they will go away; how
it will warm their hearts to foci
that aoino o.io cared enough for
them to ask then) to bo members

is all Christmas is for—to show
other people that wo love then,,
and to loam and bo cheered by the
thought that there are people who

There is one groat day in tin
year set apart for giving—the day
commemorating the time when
God gave to tlio world tho great¬
est of all gifts, the pet feet man.
On that day everybody gives
something, everybody reaches out
his hand in some good deed, and
tho result is 11 llooil of sunshint-
that warms aim ml every heart.
Already tho spirit of giving i-
abroad und is reaching out to
draw into its warm grasp all tin-

these early December days you
hear talk of tho preparation* foi
the great day of giving, into every
home that you enter you see h»i;ds
busying themselves with pretty
things for a friend or neighbor.
It is the great topic, just now,
“what to give; what will bring

It has been understood for a
considerable time that some cigar¬
ettes und some brands of snuff had
■‘dope” qualities. Do.ibili -.-i this
insures tlupr popularity with those
who enjoy tlio doped article.
Opium is like whisky, is creates
a growing appetite, grows with
