Just can t. help it. Ordinarily a coal dealer can sit and listen to the tearful tobs of freezing widows and orphans and show about as much sympathy sym-pathy and interest as a salt mackerel in tho storo at Brighton, but Christmas gets us.

Back to our ordinary ordi-nary t moods and customs. Freeze up, get tight and close as is our wont so if you havo any (earful tales to 'toll ' gel, iu soon and get them out of your i system.
