him that he wouldn't stand no gratis.
He marked out to him that if he didn't
play every day he would git laid off an
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was
barred.
Hank, bein lazier than ever that
year, was considerbul stirred up about
this. He didn't have no likin to play,
but he was hot after the long green, an
he KEEP playin along an kickin like a

At Glastonbury abbey in Somersetshire,
England, once stood Il thorn tree which ii
is said bloomed every Christmas morning.
The first authentic account of it ever writ
ten was in l7T2 by a Mr. Eyston who tells
of it in the account of his visit to the alb
hey. The keeper assured Mr.. Eyston that
St. Joseph of Arimathea landed not far
from the town, at a place where there was
formerly an oak that had been planted to
his memory; that he and his companions
marched to a hill and rested themselves,
and that Joseph stuck his staff in the
ground.
Now, this staff was common dry haw-
thorn stick, but it grew and first came into
full flower on Christmas day. Afterward
the tree, which had thus grown and budded
like Aaron's rod, always bloomed on the
day of Our Lords nativity and upon no
other day, the flower, like that of the night
blooming cereus, lasting but a few hours.
Many queer stories have been told of the
miraculous Thorn of Glastonbury" 1t
was said that If the chips from it were
planted they would sprout and grow like
potatoes; that the leaves cured all infam-
nations, swellings, etc, and that rods"
cut from it would never leave marks on the
children corrected by their use.-St. Louis
