To stop it," whatsoever it be!
Perhaps you like "the cup that cheers"
Perhaps you gamble recklessly;
Perchance you're libellous in tone:
Perhaps you're prone to sigh and
grOan;
Perhaps you're temper's very bad;
You talk enough to drive folks mad;
You think that no one else is right;
You flirt with everything in sight;
You have an oycrbearing way,
Or tell your symptoms night and
day:
Perhaps you dye the hair that's gray;
Perhaps your debts you do not pay;
Perhaps-oh, we'll. whate'er it be,
If with your world it don't agree,
And brings you care or misery,
Strike now the blow that sets you free!

every inch of which was the premium
work of all artist and a man as made
grand stairways for a livin' and never
botched, and l reckoned, jist maxim a
rough, unflgurin' estimate, that I had
traded enough with Joe one time and
another to as much, or may be more,
than pay for the plate glass windows,
not mentionin' the stained ones, that
looked like flower beds set into his
walls, with wreaths and roses and
young children and blue Sky and grass
and things. And there was my wife
and youngsters at home-if such
place as we had finally got to could be
called home-with the windows filled
with old quilts and cushions and not
enough in the cupboard to eat to much
more than prevent them from goin' to
bed hungry. And this was New Years
night! 1t wasn't cheerful, CLOWN

tried to be chirk gleeful over it.
Hank Harmon remarked as he took
his place at the table, with his back
agin the door to prevent anyone from

he he'd helped Joe Howard in the build

called Joe's house-quite a consider

callated he had done as much toward
the house, as the putin in Of the

the furnace throwed in for fair meas

the furnace, Hank happened to recol-
lect that there wasn't stick of wood
or a pound of coal in his house, and
his wife was sick and his children not
sweatin' with bein' overlooked or
overfed. And reminescening along
this line, we naturally got dismal and
down-hearted and some of us-it was

or forget anything that happened that

set close to the edge of the table by

Jist then, Jim Green began to cry.
And it wasn't a drunk, maudlin'
swashy cry that makes one tired, but
a great, man, heart-breakin'-hea
full cry, not loud nor noisy, but low
and heavy with bitterness and re-
morse and the useless wishin's that
you hadn't done some things. And
while Jim cried we all looked away
and kinder above each others heads
and sneaked my cup of whisky from
the table and emptied it without max

THE CHRISTMAS ROSE,

Twas Madelon, the little maid
Alone upon the wintIy hill;
The stars were bright, the wind was
still.
Grief at her heart, she wept and
prayed.
The shepherds passed her on their
way;
The magi, by the omen led,
She saw their gifts, heard what they
said;
But she must wait. and weep and pray
The while she grieved a shape drew
near,
And stood in glory at her side

Gabriel, in heaven without peer.
Sweetly he spoke and very low,
He laid his hand upon her head.

And cannot with the shepherds 70.

And summer Is far away;

A burst of glory burned around
FLASHED up and down the barren hill:
Run, Madelon, pluck where you will
Along the warm and blossomy
ground!"
Flying along the howery sward,
She plucked flower (the summer goes,
But still it stays), the Christmas rose,

sorrow-with Gods help he was re-

night, that he would never touch an

There was stiffness for time and

Jist a year ago tonight we met in
Hank Harmon's blacksmith shop to
celebrate the day by gettin' so para
lyzin drunk, that we could disremem-
Der the miserable homes we had
sneaked away frum and the heart
broken and down-lookin' wives and
children we had left in them. We hung
a boss blanket over the biggest cracks
in the sides after Hank had fastened
the door, and then we was in shapeful
condition to guzzle and pour down
our redhot, thirsty threats, jist as
much of Joe Towards red-hot, pizen-,
hot whisky as we could manage to get
with our tremblin' hands, to our weak,
waterin'. disgraced mouths. After this,
we know what would most likely hap
pen, judgin' of course by what had
happened before-we would fall over
amongst the cfnders and boss hoof
jealins and old wagon tires and drag
teeth and scrap iron, where we would
sleep like hogs-hogs as had lost their
self-respect-until the cold and the
uncomfortableness would wake and
sober us enough to crawl home to our
wretched houses, which we would
make wretcheder and miserabler by
our comm.
We talked Of this tonight, and we all
remembered everything that was done 4

there is matron of honor, and, in one
case, the entire set of bridesmaids
was replaced by half-dozen very re-
cent brides. The matron of honor is
the more common evidence Of the new
convention, or whatever it may be
called, however, and she bids fair to
hold her popularity for some time to
come. She undoubtedly had her
origin In the sentimental pledge so
often made between two girls that
whoever married first should have the
other for maid of honor, in some one
case 1T having evidently been deter
mined to carry out the vow one de-.
gree farther, and to serve each other,
whether married or not. History fails
10 tell us anything about this first
original case; all that we know is that
the precedent of matron OF honor is
now established. There are those to
whom this is cause for regret. The
real old-fashioned Wedding, such as
our grandmothers knew, offered such
fine opportunity for future weddings.

OF being thrown together in this way.
In very suburban instances, the at
tendants, when the ceremony was
over, used to pair of, every Jack with
his Jill, and follow after the newly
welded couple right down the aisle
in way that could but suggest that
they follow their example as well.
Married ushers and matron Of honor
have changed all that. In its second
airy capacity Of promoting other we'd
dings, the wedding is not what it used
to be, say those who know the old way.
Not so, say We all of u; The new"
wedding may look less obviously like
matrimonial market, but the chances
are, and, in fact, all evidence goes to
prove, that young people may be de-
pended upon to be young people under
any condition of circumstances.
