BY S. ?. ?iROWN & Co. ~ Piihl?s'hRrl WRBkiy. ^FRIDAY, ? ??oiicyloss Christmas. A Christmas without sponding money ! Midwinter holidays without (lolls or picture books, tops, toy can non or jumping jaeks, colored candies or any "store presents'' of any kind whatsoever 1 Christ's nativity cele brated without a Christnins tr*o or a Christinas carol or a gathering of the childrenT-no ovorgreou shrub spark ling with glass, no Santa Claus aud no pantomimo. Could euch a thiug bo in u christian land ? Yea, verily. And it is not so very long ago that just such a Christmas was tho rule in three fourths of tho United States hay, it is tho rulo now in considerable sections where thero aro no largo towns. So easily do wo got accustom ed to what is, and so naturally do children boliovo that tho system they first noticed has always been tho sys tem, that most people do not know, and oven tho oidor ones aro forgotting, that tho Christnins of to day is com paratively a now thing. But what was tho old timo Christ mas, and with what Bights and sounds ..... .. ..-i_1 :.. o nr..it fi*** wno il unucujv? tu i. i? eil, ni viiu ?Loi, placo, it was-in all tho rural logions ! at any rate-a timo whon no money j could bo "wasted.'' Children must have their fun without oxtra expense, save as each child had carefully saved his pennies. As to deliberately band? . ing out a half dollar to a boy for Christmas-tho average father would os, soon have thought of giving him a deed for tho farm. It was a season for rabbit hunting and sledding if thero was ico, for a good dinner and au extra piece of pio, and then, per haps, for some homo made presents. But times have changed, and the child ron of to day would not bo satis fied without a "good timo" on Christ mas. Now, what's to bo dono .about it? Money is scarce and the cry of ?'hard times" is heard on evory hand. Tho unpaid account at tho grocery * stares you on tho ono hand and pro vision for tho coming year on tho. other, while the ioll.y ?<ij>o' 6i Christ mas como betwoen for a share. Scratch, old/ folks, and let tho child ren houibi the glad old days of Christ mas/ /Pay all your claims first, and lot each and every one hurry to town and lay in a supply for tho coming holidays.
