Shoe or Stocking?

In Holland, children set their shoes,
This night, outside the door;
These wooden shoes Kuecht Globes sees,
And fills them from his store.
But here we hang our stockings up
On handy hook or nail.
And Santa Claus, when all is still,
Will plump them without fail.
Speak out, you "sobersides," speak out,
And let US hear your views;
Between a stocking and shoe,
What do you see to choose?
One instant pauses Sobersides.
A little sigh to fetch,
swell, seems to me stockings best,
For wooden sh6es wont stretchl"

Christmas in the Days of Old.

Norway remembered not only the chill
dren, but the birds as well. and over every
door or tall pole was fastened smear OF
corn from which the birds might take thelr
fill. Evil spirits were frightened away py the
ringing of bells, and thus everywhere, as
Christmas perpetuated itself, the old Dal-
lad was both prophecy and fact:
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Days
And all the bells shall ring
On Christmas day In the morning.

Song of the stocking.


I'm quite averse to Christmas day,
neither like its din or jangle,
Nor do like the sloven way
l have to dangle, dangle, bangle.
They hang me up, and oh! oh! oh!
With cruel pin my lip they mangle,
And then somebody stuffs me so
That l do strangle, strangle, strangle.
Then in the morning Bubby darts
From bed, doth me from pin untangle,
And fercely at my inner parts
The fiend doth angle, angle, angle.
But taffy that is in my toe
Doth 'scape the clutch of parts phalangal,
And when it melts, ii don't, you know,
NY texture spangle, spangle, spangle.
Oh, dear! wish-indeed l do
Their Christmas custom they new-fangle,
It makes me feel I'd like to go
And with them wrangle. wrangle, wrangle.

She WouIdu,t Kiss Kriss.

Last night dreamed Old Christmas
Came knocking at the door;
l knew him by his long white beard,
And by the furs he wore,
And by his coat with pockets
Stuffed full as they could hold;
He pinched my cheeks, he kissed me
hard
His lips were very cold!
He said. ''Im Grandpa Christmas
To all he girls and boys;"
But, OBJ! be fairly shook the house
His voice made such noise!
Perhaps hurt his feelings
~ wouldn't kiss him back;
He slipped away, i can't tell how,
He never left track.
Tonight he's really coming
With budget and with pack:
! don't see how could do So
wish I'd kissed him back!

Confidence
and
Enterprtse.

Probably two questions
commence which more than any
ana others have aided in the
PRISE development and wonder
full progress which has characterized St.
Paul's growth is the confidence which her
people seem to have in each other, and the
enterprise with which they all join in pro-
noting any scheme for the city's improve
ment. 1t is a confidence, too, which is
rarely betrayed and which is infectious in
its character There is little doubling or
cavilling. but feeling that each one should
do whatsoever his hand findeth to do with
all his might. And his neighbor. confident
in the successful outcome of honest en-
deavor. should lend a helping hand when
ever necessary. Without such confidence,
whatever energy and enterprise individual
citizens might possess would accomplish
little-with it even greater wonders will be
performed in the future.

Some shepherds, who watched their focks by

Heard angels singing joyous hymn:
Glory to God in the Highest Heaven.
On the Earth Peace and Goodwill to Men;
Peace was brought TO the world that night
And Christmas carols have been since then.

St. Paul

CT Pan, Thirtythree years Is
computed as the average
In
of human life. But in
1900 the growth and develop
,nent of states and cities, it is mere span
of time. 1t is only one heart beat, throb
of the pulse, swing of the pendulum. 1t
is but as Yesterday. And yet this one back
ward sweep of the pendulum takes US to
spot on the upper Mississippi river where a
struggling village nestled on the banks OF
the stream. surrounded by all the conditions
of life in the primitive days. Our nlustra-
ton of ST. Paul in 1858 presents picture
of frontier simplicity that will be readily
recognized by the few remaining old set
tiers.
A stroke forward Of the
st. Paul pendulum brings us to
in grand metropolis, the CEN
1850. ter of a great system OF
the arteries of commerce
and manufacturing and transportation.
The few struggling log cabins and plain
wooden houses along the bank of the river
are replaced with mammoth structures of
brick and stone and iron. The hills back
of the little town of thirty-three years ago,
then covered with native forest. are now
the seats of palatial residences. What
were then deer paths are now broad ave.
nues, and the Indian trails of generation
ago Are now splendid boulevards. On the
little pathway. along the river bank over
which the fur trader drove his dog team,
his sledge laden with furs and pelts, are
now laid steel rails over which the mi ghty
locomotive daily draws its tons of golden
grain, gathered from the wheat fields of
the Northwest.
80
Another imaginary stroke
of the pendulum carries
in US another generation for
1919. ward. and we see st. Paul
as it may be 33 years
hence. In this era Of progress and devel-
Opment no limit can be fixed to the posi-
bilities of the future. During the last gen.
Grafton the nations of the earth have been
filed with the marvels and glories of human
progress. There has been no section of the
universe where this progress has taken
more gigantic strides than right here. The
Twin Cities are the monuments of this stu.
pendOus development. And yet their de-
velopment iG only fairly begun. Measuring
the future solely by the past, generation
hence will place them in advance of all
other American cities west of New York.
and fairly up with that great metropolis Of
our Eastern seaboard. But, measuring
their future by their capabilities of devel-
opment. eye hath not seen, ear hath moi
heard. nor has it entered into the heart Of
man to conceive. of the vastness Of tbeil
commercial power or the splendor of theil
glory when IS years more are added to theil
