Christmas Giving.
There are a great many people tn
:the world whom we know more or
iless, but to whom for various reasons
we cannot very well send a Christmas
gift. But there is hardly one, in all
the circles of our acquaintances, with
whom we may not exchange the touch
of Christmas life.
In the outer circles, cheerful greet-
ings. courtesy, consideration; in the
inner circles, sympathetic Interest,
hearty congtatulattons, honest encour-
agement; in the inmost circles, com-
radeship. helpfulness, tenderness.
After all, Ohristmas-llvtng to the
best kind of Christmas giving.—

Writing in McClure’s Samuel Hop-
kins Adams tells the story o' ’'The
Lemon in the Tariff,” which, while
referr ng chiefly to tfre lemon tariff
graft, gives an inkling of how, by

abled to continue their graft over

people. “Tickle us," say AM rich
and his stand-pat assistants, “and
we’ll tickle you. We’ll take the big
slice, but youpFkiice wi'l be b'.g

Mr. Adams writes:
“Up to the time when the tariff

The man who conducts
his business on the theory that
it doesn’t pay and he can’t af-
ford to advertise, sets up his
judgment in opposition to that
of all the best business men of
the world. Says an author-
ity: “With a few years’ ex-
perience in conducting a small
business on a few thousand
dollars’ capita), he assumes
to know more than those
whose hourly transactions ag-
gregate more than do his in a
year, and who have made
their millions by pursuing a
course that he says doesn’t
pay.”
If advertising doesn't pay
why is is that the most suc-
cessful merchants of
town, large or small, i
heaviest advertisers?
: does not pay. why do the
largest business firms in the
world spend millions in that
way? Is it because they
want to donate those millions
to the newspaper and maga-
zine publishers, and the man-
ufacturers and jobbers of ad-
vertising specialties or because
they don’t know as much
about business as the six-for-
a dollar merchant who says
money spent in advertising is
thrown away or donated to
the man to whom it is paid?
Such talk is simply ridiculous,
says the American Stationer,
and it requires more than the
average patience to discuss the
proposition of whether adver-
tising pays or not with that
kind of a man.

of the story to Evelyn and Jack, “was Daniel Webster, one of the
greatest statesmen and lawyers this country ever had. This story of
bis boyhood days is true, and it is sometimes called ‘Daniel Web-
ster’s First Case.’
“When Webster was a boy he lived on a farm in New Hampshire. He bad
a brother named Ezekiel. The father of the boys wns a farmer, but be was
also a county judge, and he hoped that Daniel would become a lawyer.
“One summer a woodchuck made his home In a hillside near tbe Webster®
barn. Like all of his kind, he was fond of green growing things, and be ate
some cnbbnge leaves a”d other produce which belonged to Mr. Webster, One
morning little Mr. Woodchuck was found in a trap which had been set for Max,

“But the little animal looked up at Daniel In such a pitiable way that tbe
lad felt sorry for him. ‘No,’ he said, ‘let us t' ke him to tbe woods ftir’away,
where he can’t find bis way buck to do any more mischief here, and turn him
loose*
"Eze!:lcl would not agree to this, and the boys irgued about, it until tbelr
father hcunl the quarrel. After bearing berth rides he said:
“ ’Let me judge tbe woodchuck's case. You, Ezekiel, shall tell ail the bad
deed: he hns been guilty of. and Daniel shall defend him. 1 shall decide as
I think proper.’
“Ezekiel began by telling tfll the harm the woodchuck had done. He was a
mischievous, destructive animal, he said, and hta skin could be sold for IV
cents, which would help to pay for the damage. The boy argued well against
the animal, for what be'said was true.
“When Daniel began he spoke about like this:
