fore the senate passed the bill it was
amended so that prohibition shall be

illegally, and keepers of blind pigs are
stringent.

carry him away to one of their ice-cav-
ems and then chain him to the walls
and floor until the Christmas festival
was over and his opportunity for doing
good was past. All the mean and ma
licious little COLLINS said this was an ex-
cellent plan and they clapped their
hands and threw their peaked hats back
and laughed with hearty ''Ho! ho!"
WREN it was announced.
You may be certain the COLLINS were
all on hand. in their blue pants and red
shirts. on Christmas Eve. They met at
curve in the road along which Santa
Claus drove his eight-deer team. They
had a coil of rope with them long
enough to tie the biggest giant that ever
lived, and strong enough to hold a loco
motive. 1t took GEO COLLINS to carry the
coil.
Santa Claus, with his reindeer run
ming at full speed, came Swimming down
the road as the stars were shining their
brightest. He was in merry mood.
His sleigh was trimming over with toys
and candies. The COLLINS grinned hid
eously as they saw his white figure in
the starlight. They grinned in antici
patton of the sorrow and disappoint-
ment they would cause among Santa
Claus Christmas pets. Santa. uDcOn-
scIous of the danger into which he was
gliding, sang:
Heigh no!

Into the homes Of my pets go,
All in row
Are the stockings, know,
And that's why I'm singing my heigh hol

nose, because his hands were not free.
The COLLINS climbed all over him. They
picked at his great fur coat and cap,
and scattered the soft fleece to the wind
and the wind carried the fleece, which
fell I'm flakes of snow, all over the world.
They picked at the fleece for hours, and
had poor Santa Claus coat and cap al
most bare.
80, If they would only rub against the
wart on my nOse!'' said Santa soulfully.
But they didn't.
II dare any of you to pull my nose"
shouted the saint, in challenging
tone.
The challenge had the desired effect.
A hundred of the COLLINS ran up his
breast to pull his organ. One goblin
got the wart in his fingers and pulled
tllat-the nose was too big for his little
fingers. AS the goblin pulled, Santa
muttered the magic words:
Spickle, speckle, sparkle-um,
Rumpty, tumpty, cumpty como!
AS Santa said this the third time. the
Fairy Sparkle. as was her duty when
ever the wart on Santa's was rubbed
three times, made her app earance. She
stood on the old saints shoulder and
asked him his wish. He said:
"You see my predicament, Sparkle.
/ want you to free me from my cap
tors"
The little fairy waved her wand, and

hard as he could, in a few minutes

HElGH- ITO! OVER The SNOW
reached his sleigh, which, with its deer
team, stood in the place where he had
been captured. Whipping up his
steeds, lie rode away from the shrieking
COLLINS.
1t was little late when Santa Claus
came to the first houses in which good
little boys and girls lived. He was still
in time, however, but there had been
such terrible snowfall that the houses
were almost buried out of sight. No
doors or windows could be seen. What
was Santa Claus to do? He couldn't
get into the houses. A happy thought
struck him as he looked at a chimney
sticking up Out of the snow-why not
go down the chimney?
In twinkling he drove his sleigh
alongside the chimney and popped in.
And down through every chimney in
the land he went that Christmas. And
he liked the new way of getting into
houses so well that he has been 60
ing down the chimney ever since.
I If you care TO notice it, the Christmas
snow is different from the snow that
falls at other seasons of the year. Do
you know why? Because it Is the fleece
picked from Santa Claus fur coat by
the mean little COLLINS who try to pre-
vent him from coming to his children at
Christmas. Every Christmas Eve the
COLLINS pursue Santa Claus, and when
there isn't any snow Christmas Eve you
may all know that Santa Claus deerS
were too swift for the COLLINS and they
couldn't catch up with the Saint.

SONGS OF OTHER DAYS.
Rock Me to Sleep.

Backward, turn backward, o Time in your
flight,
Make me a child again just for tonight
Mother cC m g back from the echoleSS shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yore;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows of care.
Smooth the few silver threads out Of my
hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep;
Rock me to- sleep, mother-rock me TO sleep
Backward, flow backward, O tide Of the
years!
lam so weary of toll and of tears
Toll without recompense, tears all in vain.
Take them, and give me my childhood again
have grown weary OF dust and decay
Weary of sowing my sou-wealth away;
Weary of sowing for others to reap;
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep
Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother. o mother, my heart calls for you'll
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Yet, with strong yearning and passionate
Long / tonight for your presence again.
Come from the silence so long and so deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me TO sleep
Over nv heart, in the days that are flown,
No love like mother love ever has shown;
No other worship abides and endures-
Faithful, unselfish and patient like yours;
None like a mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and world-weary brain.
Slumber's soft Gains DER the heavy lids
creep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep
Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with
gold,
Fall on YOUR shoulders again as Of old;
Let it drop over my forehead tonight.
Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
For with its sunny eyed shadows once more
HAPPY will throng the sweet visions of yor;
Lovingly, softly, its bright pillows sweep;
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep
Mother, dear mother, the years have been
long
Since l last hushed to your lullaby song;
Sing. then. and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhood,s years have been only dream,
Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace.
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter TO wake or TO weep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!

BONBONNIERE BREVITIES.

One of the prettiest bonbonnieres
seen had set in its cover the miniature
copy of GainsborOugh beauty i'll pict-

There are also bonbonnieres that do
not exhibit the pictures of court beaut-
les Oh the outside of their covers, but
do not conceal a portrait of modern
young man inside an extra lid in the
cover.
This style of bonbonniere recalls the
engagement lOcket about which our
readers have heard before. These fiat,

are worn out of sight inside the corSage,
are very popular. Sometimes they con-

Had its home within the bosom

On bed of pain and anguish,
Lay dear Annie Isle;
Changed were the lovely features,
Gone the happy smile.

Hear your sweet and holy music

Look on me and smile,
Waiting for the longing spirit
