The Christmas holidays are nearing us and we suppose each one is looking forward to them writh happy anticipa tion, some expecting loed ones to come home, some expecting many gifts, and perhaps a fcwT because dt is the an niversary of the guiding star which led the wise men to the place where tlm, babe lay. Let us all remeanber that it should be a time of "Peace on earth. and good will to men," and pend the; days accordingly. Wonder hw many of our readers have noticed die growing tendency to oimit quotation marks from our. lan guage. You know the rule advises us to use the quotation marks when we quote the exact language of another, but that is a thing so rarely done that we have little need for the marks. If one person says a thing and several are listening it is a very rare thing that any two of the hearers understand alike and just as rare for either of the hearers to understand it as the speaker intends it to be heard. Then when the sentence or sentences are repeated each one tells it as it was understood and often times a very complicated matter is thrust upon the public. Then we all know it is one of the pe culiarities of human nature that in tell ing anything we lop off a bit here and perhaps insert a word there or more probably accent a word never meant to be accented and thus put a meaning never intended. Oh, let us avoid these things and let us be strictly truth ful, never exaggerate and insert those little quotation marks often by being very careful to quote the exact lan guage of others. ANONYMOUS.
