CHRISTMAS MORNING.
Christmas morning, and brand daylight!
Who do yon think was here last night?
Bundled in furs from top to toe;
I won't tell, for I think you know.
Who was it oame from cold Snowland,
Driving gaily his eight-in-hand.
Sleigh piled up with wonderful toys?
Who was it? Tell me, girls and boys.
Who was it down the chimney crept.
While everybody soundly slept:
Filled the stockings, and tapped them all
With "Merry Christmas, one and all.”
Who went back 'neath the bright starlight,
Reindeer scampering with all their might?
I won’t tell, for its very dear,
If you are good, he’ll come next year.
Ohrlstmas morning, and hurry away,
Cousins and aunties are waiting to-day
Waiting to weloome the big and the small,
Hark I hear them shout "Merry Ohrlstmas
to all.”

VICTIMS OP A BAD HABIT.
Men Whose Absent-Mindedness Leads |
Them Into Stormy Paths#
The absent-minded men are hope

of his old tricks the other day. Ho

the New York Tribune when he saw
some one coming toward him whose
face seemed to be familiar. His own
story best explains the situation.
"I was consoious,". he-sald. "that I
knew the man very well but I was
thinking of something and his ap
proach did not make a clearly defined
impression on my brain. I was also
conscious that when he saw me he

yet all that did not recall me suffi
ciently from my thoughts to enable
me to realize clearly „ust what was
happening. I said, in an absent way,
•How do you doP1 and walked on as if
I were in the habit of seeing him every
day or as if I were only slightly ac
quainted with him. Even in tbal
minute I was awake to the fact that
there was a queer light in his face and
that he returned my bow very stiffly.
"It was not until 1 had gone a
couple of square; down the avenue
that it flashed into my mind that the
man was one of my oldest and most
intimate friends, whom I had not seen
in several years, and that when he
had started to greet me cordially I
had worse than 'cut’ him by giving
him a cold bow. I then, as a man
will da turned to hurry back after
him. but of course, he was gone.”
Here is another extreme case which
seems improbable, but for the truth
of which the writer can vouch. A
New Yorker who made a trip to Cal
ifornia was met at the pier in Oakland
by a man, who rushed up to him and
wrung bis hand heartily.
"How do you da Will?” cried the
stranger with delight • 1 heard you
were coming and I thought you
would like to have me meet you.”
The New Yorker looked at the
other man in blank astonishment
•Tm afraid,” he said, 'that there
is some mistake. I do not seem to
know you."
■Well," said the other with a
laugh, ‘you are a cool fellow to joke
in that way. But how long are you
going to stay out hereP I want you
to come to our house."
‘But my dear sir,” declared the
New York man earnestly, *1 don’t
know you. I never saw you before.
I can’t imagine what you can mean.”
“Oh. if that’s the case,” was the re
ply In tones of indignation, “I mill not
trouble you. But just to refresh your
very remarkable memory I propose to
tell you that I know you. I am your

'‘The girl had been bitten by a mad

teeth showed plainly. Her grand

A Snake la Armor.
While gathering flowers in the
woods a farmer recently stirred up a
snake, which he attempted to kill
with a stone. Contact of the stone
with the snake's body gave .back a
metallic sound, and thereupon he
hammered the reptile upon the head
until it was dead. He then discovered
that two-thirds of the snake’s body
was inoased in a seotlon of gas pipe
one inch in diameter. Whether the
snake had crawled into the pipe when
young and grown fast or was wearing
it for Self-protection is a conundrum.
