And on the Dawn
A%tt.Of Christmas morn
~ childish heart was knocking

As 'twould break through.
A unhung my stocking
mach simple gift that came to hand.
How marvellous thought Ii!
a treasure straight from Gno WGaderiand'
And at my cries
OF glad surprise
The others all came hocking
To share my glee
Aud view with me
The contents OF the stocking
Tears sped-I left each well-loved scene
In Northern wilds to roam.
'Apd there. mid tossing pine trees green,
made myself home.
We numbered three
And blithe were we,
n adverse fortune hooking,
And Christmastide
tat BY our freside
Found hung the baby's stocking.
Alasi within our home tonight
NO sweet young voice is ringing,
And through Its silent rooms no light,
Free. childish stepsis springing.
The wild winds rave
Ger baby's grave
Where plumy pines are rocking,
And crossed at rest
On marble breast
The hands that filled my stocking.
With misty eyes but steady hand
raise my Christmas chalice:
Here's to the children of the land
In cabin r,in palace;
May each one hold
The KEY sof gold
The gates Of glee unlocking,
And hands be found ta
The whole world round

ogical and sacred significance. A stroll
through typical town in the realm OF
fruits and flowers gives a person from
tho North some startling ideas. The
show windows are full or frecrackers,
Roman candles, sky rockets, packages Of
torpedoes and other fireworks. The July
weather is present, aquatic and field
sports are carried out in accordance with
n regular picnic program, and the sight
of thousands in holiday attire on race
track, the borders Of some pretty lake or
n baseball park, gives little hint Of cele-
bration which at the North is attended
with sleighing, skating and Christmas
trees.
Only in the churches is the commemo-
ration suggestive and familiar. In some
OF these a great Christmas ship, with
evergreen trimmed masts, is displayed.
Bright little lads and pretty maids dress
ed in white and carrying tinsel wands
distribute presents to everybody. In the
negro quarters, too, th.. real yuletide Ter
vor Is shown. No one loves holiday
better than a negro, and the eating, drink
ing and singing in the rough. boarded
huts is engaged in with ardent zeal.
Through latticed windows and open
doors may be seen the smoking turkey
and 'possum, hoe cake, pumpkin pies and
watermelons. The patrarchal colored

Ole Olson. Friday Evening.


This year 1t returns In its original garb,
original cast and embsilished with the
innovation which is the talk Of the conn
try. The cast Is headed by Ben He ndricks,
tho greatest Swedish dialect character
living, and whose clever work in the past
as "Ole" is pleasantly remembered. Miss
st George Hussey, as MRS. O~'Fiannigau,' y
has . character that Is especially suited to
her Hibernian proclivities. The other
members Of the company are equally as
happy cast, giving assurance OF an un
usually smoothe performance. The music
is tuneful and up to date while the special
ties are numerous and merltorious. The
sensational feature Is la the introduction OF
a bicycle race 1t 10 but natural that the
ubiquitous bike should play an important
role In the drama Of to-day and keeping in
touch with this colossal factor for recrea-
tion aud enjoyment John Lawson, better
known as "The Terrible Sw ede," has been
specially engaged to ride q race against
all corners at every performance.
