A Christmas Rhyme.

Chlllingly whistles the wintry winds Over tine meadows brown and sere, Mournfully shaking the signing pines Waiiing away the dying year. Saucy and cold is the keen north wind, Peeping in at palace and cot, Whistling through each cranny and
 chlnk,
 Careless whether he is wanted or not; Where he comes from nobody knows, But he leaves his mark wherever he Chilling the fingers and freezing the toes Kissing the lips and bluelng the nose Spitefully pinching the ladies ears,
 Painting their cheeks the hue Of the Filling their eyes with gIittering tears. Old Santa-CIaus Is abroad tonight.
 Bending beneath his peddllng pack, Over the earth with lightning speed
 A world of treasures hiding his back Over the tops of houses he rides, Down the chimney he softly glides. Neither calls at the door nor knocks But busies himself with hanging socks, Whether for girls or whether for boys, He fills each one with his tempting toys Cranning them down with e wonderful
 knack.
 The sIeepers can ear no rattling noise, As he chambers again up the chimney
 back.
 Old Santa Claus Is abroad tonight, A traveller of wonderful speed Is he, A moment he stops at the rich mans door Which stands ajar. and what sees he? Blazes the Yule-log merry and bright

 day, To the field with his muleshlp he hied Believing quite fondly he'd conquer him
 now, For he thought that mule with such
 spirit would blow; But. alas for his hopes! not step would
 he go, But straight went to kicking and piled
 his heel so That he hardly gave Eliphsiet time to
 say "whoa! Till he knocked off the harness and up in
 the air The piowstock went sailing past 'Lipha-
 iet's hair; He lodged just in time to preserve his
 bald scalp. And howled at the top of his power for
 help.

 Pool Had seen quite enough of his mousse
 coored mule. His life was not safe. so he ended his
 fears By swapping his mule for a wagon and
 steers. Now Eliphalet rides on a quiet old brute. Or goes to the church. like Christian,

 but a fool Win venture his life with mouse-colored

Cornucopa Qf Holiday Verses from the Pen @ Mai D. Barron

 Old Santa Claus is abroad tonight--
 Anon hA stops at the cottage door, And peepinR between the gaping boards,
 What sees he in the house of the poor? RIazes here no glittering Yule, Circles around no wassail bowl, He hears no batter of dancing feet, The bare wall echoes no music sweet, Nor joyous laugh no. jest abound Buk hungry children are shivering round The dying embers and In their eyes Tho shadows ofwant and misery lles, And hunger, keen and whitening, speaks With fearful voice from their paiid Iris A merry Christmas to them no more May God remember the suffering poor! The years come in and the years pass out. Laden with joy or laden with pain, WhIsperlng still the same refrain, "We go but never return again.

An Eastern Conception.

I've somewhere read in olden tales,
 Such as the Persian poets sing. That in the fragrant Eastern wales
 Are birds with but single wing. And hooks and links of solid bone The wants of missing wings supply, And thus when either bird alone
 Essays through boundless space to fy Each lacks it's other better part
 Which being by it's mate supplied. They, linked together. heart to heart
 With helpful wings can upward glide Each bird depending on its mate,
 Thus feels the need of loving care. Each bears in part the others weight.
 And thus is formed a loving pair. And so I've thought the human heart
 Will silent in It's prison dwell. And languish till it's counterpart
 Is brought within its subtle spelf Like those rare birds of Eastern climea.
 It strives in vain to leave the earth, Until at Fates appointed time
 It finds 8 mate of equal worth. And then. bound fast with bonds of love More lasting far than hooks of bone. The twain can soar to realms above-- Two souls in form, in love but one

A Brass Tack He Swallowed xleven
 Years Ago.

xeaxe ago.
 After sheltering brass tack in his ifl- terior for eleven years Denver school boy recently coughed up the offending visitor. and is now himself again.
 The boy was Cecil Hull. 6 l5-year-old boy who is a pupil in Denver hi8h school. who had been affiliated with brcn- chial trouble for eleven years.
 The other day he fell into severe par. oxysm of coughing, lasting for three quarters of an hour.
 Then he coughed. up q nenhranous sub stance which was found to contain tack he had swallowed when years old.
 It was feared that he was deveiopina tuberculosis, and all efforts to relieve him had proved unsuocesskul.
 Now he Is improving. and is free from bronchial irritation. Physicians who had worked with the boy declare 1t to be enc of the strangest cases in all their prac- tice. affirming it to be almost impossible for a tack to remain for that length Of time in persons throat.
 The tack itself was brass carpet sacH about a half inch long. Cecil had Gwal- lowed it when he was 4 years old. Nf- forts were made at the time to peFmcwg 1t. but without success. Later he began to complain of irritation, and then the bronchial trouble developed and caused him suffering for years. His parenta naturally are rejoicing at the outcome. The strange thing in connection with his case is the fact that none of the phy- sicians who examined him was able @ give a reason for his affliction. They could not declare hIs lungs affected, and yet he had a cough which Is eonsldered a sure symptom.

 The cynic views the money getter with laughter in his heart. The fool applauds when the cavalcade of the rich draweth

The Bridesmaids Gown.

A bridesmaid, unless she happens to be a sister of the bride. seldom has a word in the choice of her costume. The dress for all Is usually decided on by the bride and her family, and the outsiders. with sometimes the faintest show of consult ing, are told what dresses they must get, and sometimes where they must get them. Now, 1t is trying if 8 girls complexion is not considered at all. She will look a fright, and. what Is more fatal still to the display of her good points, she will feel fright. Festive attire in the day time is always a trial, and even a hand some brunette will look like mulatto if dressed in dead white.
