The Same Old Season.

The same old Christmas will soon be here,
With the same old joys to share;
With the same old games we've always
played,
The same old punch, and the same old
fare.
Well respond to the same old query:
'sWill you have dark meat or light?"
And whether we take the dark or light
IT'S the same old bird, all right.
There'll be the same old Christmas tree,
Decked out in the same old way:
With the same old toys, the same popcorn !;
The same old Santa, and the same old
sleigh.
There'll be the same old horns to blow,
The same old candles to burn;
And the same red wagon under the tree
With wheels that refuse to turn.
Under the same old mistletoe bough
We shall find the same old miss,
With the same old patient, eXpectant air
Still in wait for the same old kiss.
The same SNUG babe will be there, too,
And require the same old praise,
(And the same old fib: sHow like his pa!")
Expressed in the same old ways.
Well make the same old presents,
And receive the same old things:
The same old slippers-a size too small
The same old books, and the same old
rings.
The same old Christmas will soon be here,
With the same old joys to share
And God be praised in the same old way
If the same old faces greet us there.

SORES AND
ULCERS.

Sores and Ulcers never become chronic
unless the blood is in poor conditions
sluggish, weak and unable to throw off
the pOlsons that accumulate in it. The
system must be relieved of the unhealthy
matter through the sore, and great danger
to life would follow should it heal before
the blood has been made pure and healthy
and allimpurities eliminated from the sys-
tenn. SIS. begins the cure by first cleans
ing and invigorating the blood, building
up the general health and removing from
th tn, system a CONSTANT DRAIN
effete matter. UPON THE SYSTEM.
When this has been accomplished the dis
charge gradually ceases, and the sore or
ulcer heals. 1t is the tendency of these old
indolent sores to grow worse and worse,
and eventually to destroy the bones Local
applications, while soothing and to some
extent alleviate pain, cannot reach the seat
of the trouble. S. S. S. does, and no matter
how apparently hopeless your condition,
even though your constitution has broken
down, it will bring relief when nothing
else can. It supplies the rich, pure blood
necessary to heal the sore and nourish
the debilitated, diseased body.

NO cHILrFEN THERE NOW


White House Has None for the First
Time In Many Administrations
There are no children in the white
house now, says a Washington letter
to the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t is the
first administration since that of Blu
chanan where there have not been chill
dren in the presidents family. Lincoln
had three boys when he came 10 the
white house, and the Christmas fesii
val was celebrated with enthusiasm in
the good oId-fashioned way with
Santa Claus. Grant had his three boys
and the pretty Nellie to make merry
Christmas time. Hayes had complete
domestic household, with romping boys
and winsome little girl, who has
grown to womanhood and has recently
been spending her honeymoon at the
white house. where she was a child.
Garfield and Arthur had children to
celebrate Christmas, and Cleveland in
the last year of his first administra-
tion had a baby girl to make Christmas
for. Harrison's children were grown
to manhood, but he had his grand
children with him in the white house.
and Baby Mckee became more cele-
brated character in the child history of
the white house than any since Ted Lin
coin. In Cleveland's second administra-
ton there were two little girls to well
come Santa Claus. There are pictures
of two beautiful babies in Mrs. Mckin-
ley's room and many fond remem-
brances of them, but they sleep in the
old graveyard at Canton, where they

No president ever occupied the white
house who was fonder of children than
the present chief magistrate. No mis-
tress of the white house ever had more
loving care for the babies of others than
has Mrs. Mckinley. They both love the
praitle of children and gather the
little ones of their friends about them
when opportunity offers.

EMPEROR ENGINEER.
The German Monarch to Decide ON AN
Electric Tramwny.

The German Monarch to Decide ON an
Electric Tramwny.
To act at one and the same time as
German emperor and king OF Prussia
is no sinecure, says the Pail Mall Ca
zette. In addition to the functions nat
urally pertaining to his exalted position
he has to solve a terrifying number OF
questions that in other countries would
be reserved for the municipal authori-
ties. Thus the question as to the sys-
tenn of electric tramways to be adopted
in Berlin is lying in the kaiser's cabinet
for final decision. The plan of the lines
has already been approved, but the sys-
TEN of conducting the current has not
been settled. The emperor has there
fore to act, as it were, as imperial ea-
gineer in deciding between overhead
wires and underground conductors or
accumulation cars.
As soon as he has pronounced his hoe
volo, sic jubeo, Berlin will be provided
with the largest system of electrical
tramways on the continent. The Dev-
lin Tramway company has already com
pleted its preparations, the lines are
laid and the cars are ready; only tie
wires and poles for conducting the cHr-
rent have to be procured. Everything,
therefore, will be in full working order
by the summer. The emperor is GER
tainly taking plenty of time for his de-
cision, for the plans have been in his
civil cabinet since October, and are still
without bis signat ure.

cuRLY-HEADED MEN AS JURORS.
Lawyers Dislike Them Because They
Are Not Easily Convinced.


Are Not Easily Convinced.
1t is not generally known that there
is well-defined prejudice against
curly haired men when it comes to
choosing a jury to try criminal cases,
says the New Orleans Times-Democrat
The prejudice, when it is manifested,
comes from the defense. When asked
to explain the objection to curly-haired
men, a prominent practitioner said:
when L was just starting my legal
mentor inculcated that idea to me. He
said that curly-haired men had almost
invariably been the pampered darlings
of their parents and in their youth had
been so used TO having their own way
that they had come to believe that every
body on earth was wrong except them
selves. In this way the seeds of oppo-
sition were sown, and when they grow
older they make point to disagree with
everybody and everything. If every
body else en- the jury votes for acquittal
they vote for conviction as matter of
course. They live on combat and are
as stubborn as the days are long. n
curly haired man never gets on a jury
when am defending man if l can see
him In time"

BRINGING UP CALVES.
Method Here Described Is Intended
TO Lay the Foundation of Strong,
Healthy Cows.

When I find a calf dropped I do
not let it suck the COW once. | feed
1t milk fresh from the mother until
it is five days old, and then I give
it four quarts of milk at a feed-more
or less, according to it's size-and
warmed to the temperature of new
milk, or 80 degrees. | teach it to
drink by putting two fingers in its
mouth, separated a trifle, so that the
milk may be drawn up easily, for
otherwise the little creature would
hold its tongue so tightly to the pal
ate that no milk could be sucked up
at all. After one of these lessons. it
will sometimes drink fairly well, and
almost always after the second or
third. If it does not, / do not. as
rule, consider it worth raising
Thus started, | increase. with the
growth of the calf, the quaINity of
milk, and in a fortnight's time ! feed
that which is not skinned until 10
hours old. The calf then having at
tanned the age of about eight weeks,
] give it a handful of crushed oats or
a mixture of corn meal and bran. and
augment the ration gradually as the
animal grows and needs it. Good,
strong, healthy, sleek-looking calves
are the result calves that readily
bring five and six dollars apiece when
only three months old. If part of
them should be retained, however, the
milk feeding is kept up until they are
six months old. In this way a waste
product is utilized for economically
laying the foundation of strong cows
milk being the very best food for de-
veloping the bone and muscle and the
full growth of the vital organs, that
a young calf can have.-Fred 0. Sib-
ley, in Epitomist.

MONEY IN OUNCES.
should Not BE Grown Wherever
Apples Thrive.

One of the fruits that should be more
generally grown than it is is the
ounce. which is nearly always in good
demand for canning and sells at good
prices. Ounces are not so dear as they
were years ago, when they were held as
a monopoly by farmers in certain sec
uons. owing to the belief that this
tree was easily killed by severe cold
weather. This was the fact until it
was learned that this winter killing
was due to the freezing of the roots.
Ounce roots run near the surface, and
even when the soil only freezes few
inches deep, that freezing so cuts off
the supply of sap that even the slight
circulation which exists in all live
trees during cold weather cannot be
supplied, and the tree cannot be saved.
1t was once thought that ounce trees
needed low, wet ground, mainly be-
cause snow lies here when il will not
ON high land unless protected. Where
ounce trees are planted on high and
dry soil it should be somewhere near
fence, so that snow may bank ND
against 1t and protect the trees. This
snow protection exposes the ounce
tree to be injured by mice. and if deep
bank forms around the tree il will
break down the limbs by crushing
them to the earth Probably the best
protection around ounce orchard is
row of evergreens, whose branches
are so near the ground that snow will
not drift under them. On dry land The
ounce roots go deeper and the soil will
stand pretty deep freezing without be-
ing njured.-American Cultiyator.
