They're late, they're cold, aad merally nasty, just because they now so well how to be, and if you feebly protest, they look at you more in sorrow than in anger, and intimate that your way of keeping Christmas isn't at all up to their standard. One woman nearly ran out of her stock this season. First of all, "the weather on Christmas eve was enough to dampen the spirits of dry champagne, and when, the woman found that the RR. had made league with the cabman, who hadn't brought her telescope down to the train, her optimism, not' to mention her "faith in human nature, got a° rude shock, for there were Christmas presents in that telescope, and to go off on Christmes eve leav- ing your presents behind, would try the fortitude of a Stoic. A merry little maid who gave the woman half her seat, and told her she knew her quite well, and fed her on chodalate, and in to whose sympathizing éar the ' wo- man poured her telescogfic - troubles; kept the full awfulness of 'the: thing away from her as far as Belleville, but the maid took all * gfh% Sunshine off with her at that station, and the woman relapsed into the gloomiest of thoughts, which were turned in the direction of foaming rage, when the conductor, in answer to a query as to when the C.O.R. left Trenton for Picton, calmly said that there was no train to the latter place that night. I don't like to tell you, but the fact ig that woman stamped off the train using language unfit for publication. She had nothing against Trenton, but to stay there all Christmas eve, just thirty miles from home, well-- ! However, 'twas a false alarm. The C.O.R. did start one hour late, and if the "thought of that telecope hadn't been on the woman's mind, she'd have had a high old time, even if the train did stop at every woodpile, and slow up to whistle "A Merry Christmas," to every home that had a light showing any where, For there were faces which looked like ves, they were--no, impossible-- looked too old--yes, no, yes, they were--faces she had known ever so long ago. "Was that -- ? and she said over to herseli the name of a professor of jurisprudence, who is one of Prince Edward's famous sons. Why, when she was a little girl, she remem- bered he had fair hair, and looked like Sir John, and now he wasn't thin any longer, and there was a streak of grey in hair which wasn't fair at all. And there were pretty women, whose only change appeared to be that they had added to their joys by becoming married to husbands, who were com- ing home with them to eat mother's Christmas dinner. And there was one young fellow, such a handsome lad, who talked about having been in Cuba, and other far-off lands, and the woman recognized him as having heen the terror and the joy' of the publi» school staff, many moons ago. And they all looked at the woman as if they weren't' sure of her, and she re told her woes, to a happy-hearted little school teacher, whom she didn't know from Eve, and who consoled with prophecios of it all coming right; and at last the conductor said "Pic ton," and the train drew up at a new station, which seethed with wel oming humanity, and didn't know in the least where she was at, and she had come up as a surprise, and nobody was there to meet her, and the one omnibus was full in about ten seconds, and so she started to walk. Now for the woman to find herseli as far up town as the town You Cannot Rely On Imitations, When Threatened With Bronchitis, Asthma, Pneumonia or Serious Lung Troubles Be Sure To Get The Genuine DR CHASES Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine, r----sp---- - : . * * she For generations the value of turpen- tine as a remedial agent in all affec- tions of the bronchial tubes and lungs has been well know. It remained for Dr. Chase to so combine turpentine, linseed and half a dozen other ingredients as to not on- lv make a wonderfully fuccessful medi- cine also one that is so pleasant to the taste as to be sought for by children. : The sale of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine is more than three times that of many similar reme- dies. The result of this success is a host of imitations. When attacked by coughs and colds which threaten to reach the lungs and prove serious; when awakened 'by chil: dren with eroupy coughs, gasping for breath, you cannot afford to trust to imitations. si 0 Pollard, Echo Bay, Ont, writes ; "I was troubled 'last winter with a very:bad eold, which was be ginning to settle on my lungs. T was co hoarse that I could scarcely speak, and had a nasty hacking cough. which I could not get rid of, One bottle of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Tur rentine cured me, and I can heartily recommend it." Tir. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine is sold by all dealers at the advertised price, 25c. a bottle, family size (three times as largs), fc. Edmanson, Bates & Co., Toronto.

And of all the things! Standing in the express office rij was the member for Firton; common sense tol that woman that he'd never | recognize her, but did she listen ? Not much. She got into the worst kind of funk. Once more she walked, an in fant of nine years, holding togethera | much-delapidated skirt, an unwilling hand clasped close in the hand of that inember, then only a clever lawyer, | who had carried her off home from a slizh-riding fracas between the chief of polize and' some urchins, in whizh che was the only representative of her § lovely sex, and once more she heard the reproving voice of an aunt, ob- jecting to the phrase "us boys," which che had used in recounting the valiant | deeds: of the afternoon. It 'was very dreadful to be wrenched from respeo- table, responsible, middle age, to a period marked by youthful misde- meanors. So when the woman had slid down the hill, somehow, and at last got home, she was meek as she used to be after glaring naughtinesses and never stood up for herself when the family scolded because she wasn't warmly enough dressed, andl hadn't waited for a second trip of the omni- bus, ete., ete., as families do. But she hadn't much to complain of, for the same family "Jot her talk thew blind till nearly morning, when -- she stopped becgusg "she fell asleep in" the middle. Anfl presently, a familiar sound woke her up to finde sa white world, afid the bright new Christmas day coming up over the hill in the same old beautilul way it had of coming up and shining through the trees into the valley, years and years ago, And the sound was the bell calling to church, where the woman found the trimming done in the same old way, and "While Shepherds Watched," was being play- ed over on the old pipe organ, whose notes used to go on strike sometimes in the days when strikes were unknown and are still at the good work. And and lat- there were handshakings, later the telescope turned up at the station all sereme, and, wonder of wonders, when the woman opened it, there wasn't a jelly of glycerine and church embrdidery, pen and vk sketches, and alcohol, best clothes and chocolates, not to mention fragmen- tary china, as she confidently expect- ed, so she wished the station agent a merry Christmas, and thought nice things of the baggageman down at her other home, and also of the individu- als she won't call "baggage:smashers' any more. And of course there was the midday service, and the Roman bell ringing the angelus, which al ways strikes in across the service in St. Mary Magdaleno"s, sounded as sweet as ever. Then the dinner, which always suffices till about the new year. followed and finally she was dragged off to the big new rink which has wire fencing round to keep the puck from taking innocent hockey spectators in the eye. And the sight she saw, was a sight for sore eyes, They skate, do the people in the old town, skate all the time. . They don't find it neves sary to spend one-third of the time sitting down on. the ice unintentional ly, and gnother third. picking them- selves up; as they do in some places, She watched them fascinated, and oh ! she was so proud of two girlies who have a special interest for her. Sure and graceful they were on their steels, as swallows on the wing. And a curly-headed lad did wonderful things down the middle of the rink and back again for her, and sha thought it was all lovely, and she said she hoped their team would lick Queen's, of course she did, and then she wound up the day by telling a Family Compact man, whose faith" in her dyed in-the- wool toryism was absolute, that she thought the conservatives deserved to be beaten in North = Renfrew, because they had taken Gamey in to help them them--and--well--they saved the pieces, and they eame home shortly af- ter in a box, and they weren't pieces of the Family Compact tory either. " - * » The wooden wedding party given last night by Mr. and Mrs. Iva Mor- tin was one of the 'jolliest and nicest affairs that has come off in Kingston for many a day. Mr. and Mrs. Martin understand the art of entertaining, and their guests are sure of spending pleasant hours once within their hos- pitable doors: The house was bright with Christmas greenery, evergreen, holly and mistletoe, being everywhere, In spite of the guests being principal ly married people, the music of the orchestra was so tempting and the floor so good, that dancing was the chief feature of the wai Upstairs bridge and poker occupied the time of the less hivolous and ener- getic. The wooden presents were some lovely, some host amuring, and all unique, the majority bearing humor- ous original verses. Mr. Charlic Shan: non's offering of a h pair of wood- en shoes, tied with white satin rib bon, seemed to cause the most merri- ment. Supper was served at midnight according to good, old custom, but the festivities did not end till very late, or rather very early, so loth were the guests to leave the fun bet hind them. . .
