A thought for Christmas: Buy
from those who advertise.
Ghrigtmag « ine
and Malnutø
Wonderful Man.
Dec am—Ginks had the most wonder
ful control of his features of any man
I ever knew.
Burr—1 understand he was a mar
vel.
Decern—He was. Why, I’ve even
seen that man look pleased when he
saw what his wife had bought him
for Christmas.
In Advance.
Mrs. Skinflint—Oh, John! Mary,
the parlor maid, has just swallowed a
quarter! What ever shall we do?
Old Skinflint—Do? Well, I suppose
we’d better let her keep It. She'd
have expected a Christmas present,
anyhow f
Once Enough.
“Christmas comes but once a year,"
said the cheery citizen.
"No use in its coming twice a year,”
said the morose person. "Must give
a man a chance to save a little money
before he can spend it!”
Too Late.
Highwayman—Halt! Your money or
your life!
Victim—It’s no go, stranger. My
wife’s in the same line of business al
ways at Christmas time, and she's just
finished with me.
Two Kinds.
There are friends and Christmas
tree friends. The latter take all the
presents they can get and present
you with beautiful boughs.
A MYSTERY.
I
Dudley Nobs—Pa, there’s one thing
about Santa Claus 1 never could un
derstand. *
Mr. Nobs—What is that, my son?
Dudley Nobs—Why does San: a al
ways leave valuable presents to rich
folks and cheap ones to poor people?
Why don’t he even things up?
A Clean Sweep.
Caroline—I’ve been in the stores all
day.
Pauline—So soon after Christmas,
and still shopping?
Caroline—Shopping! I guess not.
I’m exchanging all my presents.
Cackling.
Mrs. Gramercy—She must have been
surprised when her husband gave her
such an expensive present for Christ
mas.
Mrs. Park—Not surprised, my dear,
but suspicious.
Poor Man.
Mrs. Caller—You surely don't give
your husband a necktie every Christ
mas?
Mrs. Athome—Ob, yes, I do! And
the poor dear never seems to know
that it is the same one!

At the Dinner.
laist. Christmas a certain minister
was invited to a big dinner at the
house of one of the leading men in
the town. At the dinner table he was
placed opposite a goose.
The lady of the house was placed
on the minister’s left Seeing the
goose he remarked:
“Shall I sit so close to the goose?”
Finding his words a bit equivocal,
he turned round to the lady, and said,
in a most inoffensive tone:
"Excuse me, rny lady; I meant the
roast one.”
A Convenient Myth.
“Why do you still keep up that ab
' surd Santa Claus myth?” asked the
cynic. "i should * ,i'Z~
would have laughed Et it.”
“Because,” .wered the man with
i a lnrge fami.v ; convenient to
have some c ;a e for presents
that fail to please.”
OPPORTUNE
George—Ah, Lily, dear, this will be
the jolliest Christmas I've over spent.
Xov. tliat we’re engaged 1 think only
of the future.
Lily—Do you? Well, at this time of
the jear I think only of the present.
Christmas Thanks.
When turkey's on the table laid,
And good things I may scan,
I'm thankful that I wasn’t made
A vegetarian.
Trouble and a turkey.
Drown was boasting of the fine tur
key he had bought for Christmas.
“Biggest bird I ever saw; cost me
seven-fifty."
"That’s nothing to the turkey T had
last Christmas,” said his friend Jones.
"It cost me $150.”
“One hundred and fifty dollars!”
positively shrieked Brown, in his in
credulity.
“Yes," said Jones, bitterly.
"Turkeys,” said Brown, looking him
straight in the eye, “are generally to
be bought for a quarter a pound. Say
yours was a quarter, then it must
have weighed about 630 pounds!”
“It only weighed twenty pounds,”
said Jones, sadly; "but I bought it
alive and tried to kill it myself. It
flew all over the house first and did
$150 worth of damage.”
