^FRIDAY,
? ??oiicyloss Christmas.
A Christmas without sponding
money ! Midwinter holidays without
(lolls or picture books, tops, toy can
non or jumping jaeks, colored candies
or any "store presents'' of any kind
whatsoever 1 Christ's nativity cele
brated without a Christnins tr*o or a
Christinas carol or a gathering of the
childrenT-no ovorgreou shrub spark
ling with glass, no Santa Claus aud no
pantomimo. Could euch a thiug bo in
u christian land ?
Yea, verily.
And it is not so very long ago that
just such a Christmas was tho rule in
three fourths of tho United States
hay, it is tho rulo now in considerable
sections where thero aro no largo
towns. So easily do wo got accustom
ed to what is, and so naturally do
children boliovo that tho system they
first noticed has always been tho sys
tem, that most people do not know,
and oven tho oidor ones aro forgotting,
that tho Christnins of to day is com
paratively a now thing.
But what was tho old timo Christ
mas, and with what Bights and sounds
..... .. ..-i_1 :.. o nr..it fi***

placo, it was-in all tho rural logions !
at any rate-a timo whon no money j
could bo "wasted.'' Children must
have their fun without oxtra expense,
save as each child had carefully saved
his pennies. As to deliberately band?
. ing out a half dollar to a boy for
Christmas-tho average father would
os, soon have thought of giving him a
deed for tho farm. It was a season
for rabbit hunting and sledding if
thero was ico, for a good dinner and
au extra piece of pio, and then, per
haps, for some homo made presents.
But times have changed, and the
child ron of to day would not bo satis
fied without a "good timo" on Christ
mas. Now, what's to bo dono .about
it? Money is scarce and the cry of
?'hard times" is heard on evory hand.
Tho unpaid account at tho grocery
* stares you on tho ono hand and pro
vision for tho coming year on tho.
other, while the ioll.y ?<ij>o' 6i Christ
mas como betwoen for a share.
Scratch, old/ folks, and let tho child
ren houibi the glad old days of Christ
mas/ /Pay all your claims first, and
lot each and every one hurry to town
and lay in a supply for tho coming
holidays.
