we love you. You were the friend of
our childhood. \\'e cherished your
name; we welcomed your coming'every
year. Our stockings -tiny fellows then -
wore always bulged with goodies by you;
and the boy's toys (we remember them
yet, with } their smell of fresh paint and
varnish) were grand gifts in those hal-
cyon days, when delinquent subscribers
were unknown, and the shadows of notes
just falling due never haunted our hours
of ease. We even loved to read about
Christmas gifts -don't you, too, gentle
reader j --and that's one reason why we
would remind you what our live business
