When l hear Winters vibrant cry at dawn
over the haunted hilltops echoing,
And know where rules the pale auroral
king
All bloom has vanished and all glory gone,
More feetly than a bird my soul is drawn
From out its tenement on errant wing,
And once more of the sempiternal Spring
Am comrade on some lupined lawn.
l stroll through attared closes, third warm
streams,
verge
What time unlids the day-god's fiery
eye;
AS naught to me the colds engulang
surge
Who can detect, the while 1 walk with
dreams,
Mennonite music in the Winters cry!

santa Claus Gives Up His Reindeer

There is one good thing about the new
automobile service that Santa Claus has
organized to take the place of his former
string of reindeer, writes Sylvester Bax-
ter in the Automobile Magazine. He has
always had to bundle up his feet to keep
them warm in the bling cold weather that
prevailed through so large a part of his
circuit, and this made it very clumsy and
awkward for him with all the climbing
around he had to do, getting down Chin
neys, ETC., to reach the rooms where the
children slept. And he also lost deal of
time in changing 10 the pajamas that con-
stituted his costume for Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa and other parts of
the Southern Hemisphere, where Christ
mas comes in the summer-as well as in
the tropics, where he was wont to con-
form to the customs of low ATTITUDES and
luxuriate in bathing trunks only. But with
all the automobiles, where heat was used
TO produce the motive-power, he had the
exhaust steam or hot products of combus-
ton carried through coils at his feet. And
FOR the electric vehicles he had a little
electric foot-warmer attached. Under or
binary circumstances this comfort would
hardly be practicable in the case Of cleo
tricity, for the consump ton Of the power
for heating would shorten the radius of
the storage battery altogether too much.
But since The relays were to be so fire.
quent II made no .dlHerence IN his case.
Consequently enc of the greatest hardships
of his task was overcome and he looked
forward to having not only his feet as
warm as toast, but his whole bcdy as well
Therefore since this year he would not
have TO wear his weight In heavy clothing
to keep out the cold, he is going to get
about with unprecedented agility, and. wi h
ai the facility Of a weasel, get through
numerous crevioes that he never ventured
10 tackle before. AR this pleases him 80
that ne promises TO leave automobiles in
as many stockings as he cannot only met

there Is no doubt about the fact that

meet in the back in bias seam. There
Is no fulness whatever at the belt. but

The taste Of the princess OF Wales In
dress. as every one knows. has always
been beyond criticism. though only Of
late years has she been able to crafty
1t fully. Comparatively recently she
has had several windfalls, among them
a legacy Of $l50.0OO from her brother
in-law. the late emperor Of Russia, and
at the present time there Is not q bet
ter-dressed woman in London than her
royal highness. Formerly the princess
used to dress herself and her daugh-
ters on an allowance which many .
rich commoner's wife would have
thought insufficient for her own per-
sonal expenditure. and she did It we'll.

That refuse was nuisance to the

A bright mind out in California a
few years ago evolved the idea that
crude oil mixed with the coverings OF
highways would make the surface Arm
er apd prevent the accumulation OF
dust. Practical tests proved the worth
Of the idea. and its protector went at
once to Washington and got patents
not only for the new oil-sprinkling ma

the general idea OF the use OF oil In

Now some Of the greatest railroad
corporations In the country are using
the idea successfully In their efforts
to subdue dust along their routes, and
all are paying royalties Of $50 a mile
TO the Dustless Roads Company for the
privilege. The fact that this refuse oil
Is the best adapted for the purpose op-
ened up the new avenue Of profit for
the oil trust. The Long Island and the
Pennsylvania Railroad companies were
the hrst important corporations OF the
kind to experiment with the refuse oil
