The Turkish soldier marches TO meet
the foe with the same nonchalance as he
smokes his pipe. He is taught from bis
birth that the moment of his death ia
fixed, and that whole charge of artil-
lery aimed at his heart would miss him,
if destiny bad decreed his time not
come. He is taught also that he will go
straightway to Paradise the moment of
his death. With both these ideas he is
80 fully impressed, that no danger
moves him, and he lies on his death bed
as calmly as on bed for sleep.

FROM THE MUSE.
COUNTRY sLkIGHINs.
BY EDMUND oIABxscx srEDxAs.

A new song to an old tune.
In January, when IN the dairy
The cream and clsbber freeze,
When snow-drifts cover the fences over,
We farmers take our
1T night we rig the team,
And bring the cutter out
Then fill it, fill it, fill It. fill IT,
And heap the furs about.
The windows glisten, the old folks listen,
To hear the sleigh-bells pass
The fields grow whi,er, the stars are brighter,
The road as smooth as glass.
Our mufied faces burn,
The clear north wind blows cold,
The girls all nestle nestle, nestle,
Each in her lovers hold
Through bridge and gateway, we're shooting
straightway.
The tollInan was too slovi
He'll listen after our sing and laughter,
AS over the hill We 90.
The girls cry: "Fiei for shamei"
Their cheeks and lips are red,
And so with kisses kisses, kisses,
They take the toll instead.
Still follow, follow across the hollow
The tavern fronts the road,
Whoa, nowi all stead the host Is ready
tie knows the country model
The lions are in the fire,
The Kissing flip Is got
So pour and zip 1t, sip it sip 1t,
And sip it while tbs hot.
The bells are ringing, the ostlers bringing
The cutters up anew;
The bessis are ighing; too long we're staying
The night Is half way through.
Wrap close the buffalo rones,
We're all aboard once more;
Now Jingle, jinsie. jinsle jingle,
Away from the tavern door.
So follow, follow, by hill and hollow,
And swiftly homeward glide.
What midnight splendorl how warm and tender
The maiden by your side
The sleighs drop far apart;
der words are colt and low;
Now. If you love her, love her, love her,
IT'S sale to tell her 3d.

OUR OFT DISTRIBUTION


Below We give list of those who
have paid arrearages and year in ad-
vance from January l. and are there
fore entitled to u chance in our gift dis
tributi0n. 1t will be seen that up to
date but 81 subscribers have availed
themselves of the opportunity. Many
others tell us that they want chance
in the distribution and that if time is
given they will make it. We must
therefore extend the time Il month or
two longer. promising that whether we
make or lose by the operation, the gifts
shall be distributed. We are in for it,
and whether it he failure or success
80 far rs we are concerned, 1t will be
success as to the distribution, for it
will lie made. In our statement an
nouncing the distribution, we say first
of January or soon after.' To this we
shal! adhere.
This is no money-making scheme on
our part. 1t is a collecting scheme, if
anything. as we thought that if some
such inducement were held out, a large
number of our subscribers might he in
duced to pay what is now due and to
pay in advance, according to the under
standing with every one when he sub
scribes. This is better than attempting
to collect small and widely-scattered
accounts by legal process or by sending
out a collector.
Our cash outlay on the gifts will be
about 1925 besides the advertising al
ready done, which will amount to as
much more. In any event, we shall he
out Of pocket to these amounts, but if
we could thus induce even half our sub
scribers to pay what they already owe
us, we should consider the money we'll
expended.
Some of our pious friends have sug-
gested that our distribution is a lottery.
1t is not, in any legal or moral sense
lottery. It is gift, and if the commit
tee can devise any other method than
the lot which will give all an equal
chance, they may adopt it. The only
se.mblancr of lottery, would be i'll
the distribution by lot.
However, if our pious friends insist
that it is lottery, we shall organize
ourself into church and then there
will be no harm in distributing by lot.
Will our friends who have expressed
wish to have an interest in the distri-
button make an effort to pay up during
the next month?
