Stories of tb® Street.
—The young men of the town
have made preparations and went
out tickets for a grand Christmas
ball, to be given Tuesday night,
December 2o,
—Owing to «the inclemency of
the weather, the city school was
dismissed on Wednesday for the
Christmas holidays. A vacation
of two weeks will be allowed, the
school beginningagain January 3.
— The rather «brisque weath-
er this week has made news very,
very scarce. Certainly our read-
ers can realize how difficult it is
to make things happen that are
worth mentioning when every ef-
fort possible must be put forth to
keep from freezing.
—Perhaps no one rejoices to
see Christmas so much as a school
child. It is not the Santa Claus
part they are so deeply interested
in, but the vacation is what they
howl so much about. We are in-
formed that most of the schools
will give all of one week as a vaca-
tion and some will give two weeks.
In many instances the «'fessor
takes advantage of the Christmas
holidays to visit the home folks.
—Everyone you meet is ex-
pressing the hope that we will
have fair weather on Christmas
day. There's nothing so humili-
ating or depressing to one's spir-
its as a cold and wet Christmas
time. Besides, there are always
serious results to follow. Young
people will seldom think of cold
or rain on such an occasion, and
consequently place themselves in
positions calculated to injure the
health and perhaps cause a fatal
sickness.
—How many presents will be
given this Christmas in the wrong
spirit? Of course, not one iota of
enough to offset the lasting ben-
efit of those given in the right
v, but there will be some. A
utual understanding ex-
istK with son,'.* pe°P'e that''f -vou

«Well, such and such a one
done so much for me, I feel like 1
ought to give her a present. If
you do, then wait until Christmas
is past. Still others will say that
«because this person gave me a
present last Christmas, I mast
jf'ive her one this. This* doesn't
seem right. Let your action be
prompted by love, and don't think
of reward.
A toilet, tea or dinner net would
make a nice Christmas present. A
variety to select from at E. Jame*'.
