CHRISTMAS MORNING.
Christmas morning, and broad darllfht!
Who do you think was here last night?
Bundled In fun from top to toe;
I won’t tell, for I think you know.
Who was It oame from cold Snpwland,
Driving gaily his elght-ln-hand.
Sleigh plied up with wonderful toys!
Who was It? Tell me, girls and boys.
Who was it down the ehimney crept,
While everybody soundly slept:
Silled the stockings, and tapped them all
With “Merry Christmas, one and all."
Who went bao<’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.
Christmas morning, and hurry away,
Cousins and aunties are waiting to-day
Waiting to welooine-the big and the small,
Harkl hear them shout “Merry Christmas
to all."

VICTIMS OF A BAD HABIT.
Men Vhaw Absent-lII>S«diu>M T Trill
Them Into Stormy Fftthli
The abeent-minded men are hope*
less eases. One of them played one
of his old tricks the other day. He
was walking down rlfth avenue states
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 eonsoious," he said, '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
gave a start and took a step toward
me with his hand outstretched. Aad
yet all that did not recall me suffi
ciently from my thoughts to enable
me to realise olearly just what was
happening. I said, in an absent way,
■How do you dof 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 nlm. Even in that
minute I was awake to the fact that
there was a queer light in his face and
that he returned my bew very stiffly.
“It was not until I had gone a
couple of squares 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 them as a man
will da turned to hurry baok alter
him, but of coursa he was gone. "
Here is another extreme case whioh
seems improbabla but for the tratti
of which the writer can vouoh. 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?" orled the
stranger with delight. “I 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 to
know you.”
•Weii," said the otter with n
laugh, ‘Jga ere e oool fellow to joke
in that way. But how long are yon
going to stay out here? I want you
to eone to our btow"
•But my dear air,” declared the
New York -man earnestly, •-! don’t
know you. I never aaw you before.
I can't Imagine what you oan mean.”
•Oh, If that's the oaea” waethe re
ply in tones of indignation, -I win not
trouble you. But just to refresh your
very remarkable memory I propose to
tell you that I kaow you. I am your
ooneiu. George-- We were boye
together, we went to school together,
and you haven’t changed in appear*
anoe and I do not think that I have.
Good day. air," and he started to
walk away in disgust but the New
Yorker ran after him. offering a thou
sand apologies. Hb fa a man who
oannot remember even faces.

A Snake In Armor.
While gathering flowers la 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 incased in a section of gas pipe
one inch la diameter. Whether the
snake had orawled into the pipe when
young aad grown fast or was wearing
it for self-protection is a conundrum.
