We youngsters heard our uncle Josh
Tell Pa one day he knew
This Santy Claus AFFAIR was bosh--
A humbug through and through.
And we heard Pa tell Ma next day.
In whisper th'n hs ynaze.
He'd drive the children's doubts away
By playing SANITY Claus
Wen. youcan bet that after that
Oar u,inds just pothing knew
But guessing every minute at
What pa was going TO do;
We scarce co,.lc wait for christmas-Ev
To come 5lons because
We couldn't none OF us conceive
How psfdpiay Sanity Claus
But when il came at last. and we
Were cuddied ia our beds.
That same idea continually
Was running through our heads
We fell asleep at last, bnt woke
To hear the Midnight bell,
And then upon olir senses broke
Amos, a'ar'nii Il yell.
We hea Ma scobting through the hall
And Jane skip down the stairs,
And sounds OF flying footsteps fall
About MS k.erywheres;
We heard the neighbo-s gath'rin 'ronnd
And when thete'd come pause.
We'd hear a yawp tAat didn't sound
A bit like sanls Claus.
We got mp in our 'nighties' then.
And midst she fearful din
We heard what seemed hundred men
A-carrying ladders in.
And when one Of these le4Sers struck
Against the hpnse. we K ,e,v
AT once that our dear pa was sSuck
Tight in the chimney fiue.
All scared, we dressed and i'm "a fit
Ran DOM at'5earfnl rate.
To ind that our new cook had lit
fire in the CRATE.
That sent its blazing DIRE aloft
Through that same chimney. where
Our dear pa jnst shrielscd aud couehed
out in the midnight air.
Somebody rang the fire.bell.
Andwhen its peals uprose
The engine came along. and
When they turned on the hose,
And axes 'galast the roof were hurled
And shouts the Sky did rend
1t really seemed AS II the world
Was cominato end.
OF course, they rescued Pa at last.
But fore the same was done
The roof looked like there'd been blast
And chimney there was none;
Ma had htsterics. cook was fat
In bed with fit on fit,
Aud Pa looked like scarce ow that
A hurricane had il
That surely was the liveliest scene
The Christmas feast recalls.
And comes no hnt that keeps il green
Upon our mci}'ries walls. -
But, though to speak of it's a crime,
We have co hold our jaws
TO keep from laughing all the time

Although there has been no leap
year since 1896. there will be none
until 1904 Most persons know that
1900 is not leap year. but why this
exception to the rule is made few can
explain.
We, in common with European coun-
tries, use civil calendar borrowed
from the Romans and great deal OF
juggling was done with the calendar
from the time OF Romulus until Pope
Gregory XIII fixed upon the present
system.
The astronomical year consists Of
365 days, hours. As minutes and As
seconds the length OF time necessary
for the earth to complete its orbit
about the sun. But the difficulty I'm
regulating the length Of the year con-
sists in making the subdivisions of the
year depend upon the moon. aud at the
same time preserve tile correspondence
between the year and the seasons. As
the year consists of something over
1856 days, mum Der which is not diyis.
ible by i2. the months can not be Of the
same length IL they include all the
days OF the year AS lie year contains
fraction more than S65 days. IL is inn
possible for the years TO be all OF The
same length II they begin at the same
time.
These irregularities bothered the
Romans exceedingly. Romulus bad a
year of sO4 days divided into ten
months. and no one seems 10 know
what he did about the extra days.
The year began with March, a fact

O'D0NNELL & co.
Mckinley Against
Reducing Representation.
SEVERAL VERY POTENT
REASONS FOR HOLD.
ING HANDS OFF:

Washington. Nov. 16.-Tbe opin.
ron is growing among public men
Who are in tho confidence Of the
PRECEDENT that be will oppose auy
movement LOOKING to q reduction Of
congressional representation of the
Southern Statea on account of chayses
of the disfrsnchisement of co,ored
voters.
The president is said to be opposed
to revtving i'll feeling, which be thinks
would be the result of q bill thus
touching the south's suffrage. He
hes been told from many sources re.
Gently that 40 important element of
southern BUSINESS men. msuufsctur
ere and others. is at heart with the
Republicans ssd that the nucleus of
. future revolstion against existing
political methods in the sou,h hes
been securely established and should
not be dissipated by legisls.ion tha.
would be regarded by the south ~
sectional.
On account Of the president's at,i
tude there is growing opinion that
legislation looking to the reduction
Of the southern represeo otation will
not be pressed by party leaders in
congress. In this connection it is
suggested that any action taken with
reference to the suffrage Of the south
in advance of the adoption of de
finite policy in the Philippines might
throw some embarrassment in the
way Of the proper disposition of the
citizenship rights of the Filipinos,
and, moreover, it is felt that the
government has as much az it can
deal with now without getting into q
contention over domestic affairs.
