The Barnes children couldn't have
any Christmas tree this year, but
they had a jollier time than they had
ever had with a tree. Joe said so,
and George said so, too; and Grace
and Winnie agreed with them. This
is how it was done. A delightful
young auntie lives with them.
They call her the lady with a
Bright Idea. She always has a new
bright idea just in the nick of time,
but this year it did seem as if the
idea was brighter than v
There was a very mysterious feel

Everybody looked at everybody else,
and then they all smiled. Something
coed was going to happen. When
the breakfast plates we're lifted there
we're little envelopes tied with gay
ribbons. Such a time as the children
had untying them! In each was a
card, and on each card was a verse
signed, "The Christmas Postman."
Joe shouted as he read his aloud:
When you get this, dear Joe,
You must STRAIGHT away go
And look under your bed,
But pray don't bump your head!
Joe jumped up. but auntie called:
"Here, you must wait until the rest
have read their notes, and all start
at once"
The verses we're all short. George
read his next:
Look behind your closet door
For a great big package on the floor.

In the northeast chamber, out of
sight,
Under the ~coverlet, snowy white,
You'll find a gift if you search just

there.

And giving a nod, up the chimney
he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
Twas the Night Before Christmas.

WQGn Ill through Tie uOuSS1
Not a creature was stirring, not even
a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the
chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon
would be there;
The children were nestled all snug
in their beds,
While visions of sugar plums danced
in their heads;
And in her 'kerchief, and l
in my cap,
Had Just settled our brains for a
long winters nap
When out on the lawn there arose
such a c~latter,
I sprang from my bed to see what
was the matter.
Away to the window l flew like a
flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up
the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new
fallen snow
Gave a Iuster of midday to objects
below
When, what to my wandering eyes
should appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny
reindeer, On
With a little old driver, so lively
and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St.
Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers
they came,
And he whistled and shouted and
called them by name:
"Now, Dasher, now, Dancer, now,
Prancer and Vixenl O.
On, Comet! on, Cupid on, Donder
and Bitten!
To the top of the porch, to the top
of the WALL
Now dash away, dash away, dash
away ALL"
As dry leaves that before the wild
hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle,
mount to the sky,
So up to the housetops the coursers
they few,
With the sleigh full of toys-and st.
Nicholas, too,
And then in a twinkling / heard on
the roof
The prancing and paving of each
little hoof.
As [ drew in my head and was turn
ing around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came
with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his
head to his foot,
And his clothes were all furnished
with ashes and SCOT:
A bundle of toys he had fun" on his
back,
And he looked like a peddler just
opening his pack.
His eyes, how they twinkled; his
dimDles, how merry
His cheeks were like roses, his nose
like a cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn UP
like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as
white as the snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight IN
his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head
like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little
round belly
That shook, when he laughed, like a
bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plump-a right
jolly old elf;
= And / laughed, when I saw him, in
spite of myself.

Work Has Caused Much Com
ment at Ottawa, Where 1t Is
Said Treaty Is Ineffective.
MAY CAUSE CONGRESS TO ACT.
Revocation of One Clause in Rush
Treaty With England Would
Give Northern Shipbuild-
ers Coveted Advantage.

Ottawa. Ontario, Dec. 2s.-The building Of
a Canadian armored cruiser for the Great
Lakes has caused comment on the treaty
supposed to restrict such a movement.
Undersecretary of State Pope points
out that no treaty exists between Great
Britain and the United States limiting the
number or armament of vessels to be
maintained by the United States or
agreement to cease placing them there
after six months notice by either country.
Mr.. Pope doubts IL it is binding.
Washington. Dec. 2s.-The. State De-
partment has not been informed up TO the
moment that the Government contemplates
placing an armed cruiser on the lakes
in addition to the few small and inslgni-
ficant naval vessels now maintained there.
Recently the Canadian Government laid
down a couple Of revenue cutters for lake
service and although these were-owing to
the modern type-better vessels than
those heretofore employed for this work.
their construction was not regarded here
as violating the treaty. 1t appears that
United States naval officer visited the
place where the vessels were being built
and examined their construction. fact
that gave rise to some feeling on the part
OF the Canadians when they learned of the
visit.
As soon as Congress reconvenes after the
recess there will without doubt, be re-
newal OF the attempt which has been made
annually for the last ten years to secure
repeal or modification OF that section
OF the Rush treaty between the United
States and Great Britain that limits the
use of naval vessels on the lakes. Repre-
sentative William Alden Smith Of Michi-
gan. believing that the Canadian Govern
ment Is about to enter q formal protest
against the location Of the proposed United
States navel station on the Great Lakes, is
prepared TO renew with force the attack
on the Rush treaty, holding that 1t has
had a paralyzing and disastrous effect on
the important shipbuilding industries of
the Great Lakes. as they would otherwise
be In position. not only to supply them
selves such naval vessels as might be
needed for training purposes on the lakes,
but could also enter into competition with
the deep-sea shipbuliders for larger naval
construction.
