No, dear reader, this is not an ex-
tract from comic opera. 1t is mere
ly the way man up a tree sees tne
efforts of two gubernatorial cand1-
dates to arrange for some joint dis
putements. These little matters
should not be taken too seriously.

POUTING BOB.
Mr.. Robert L. Berner is quoted as

Mr.. Robert L. Berner is quoted as
saying that he
mot only favors a wide-open
primary, but a strong republican
party in Georgia and such laws as
will tend toward the encourage
ment and actual building up OF
such party in Georgia to threat
en- and to dare the democratic par
ty at all times and on all occa-
sions.'
This Mr.. Berner is the same iceberg
the democratic voters of Georgia
would not warm up to some years ago
and put in the governors Office. He
is evidently yet intensely Disguised
and disgruntled.

ANOTHER TREK.

Once more the Beers are on the move.
While the British government has
been engaged in drafting constitu-
ton under which all burghers of the
late South African republic may vote
for members of the first Volksraad a
large number of these very burghers
are deserving the Transvaal. Their
destination is the highlands of Ger
man East Africa, journey of about
fourteen hundred miles. Between three
and four thousand Beers have already
migrated, thus showing their hatred OF
British rule.

Christmas.

Bring in the Yule log from the wood
And let the bells of Christmas ring.
Once more good viii and brotherhood
The sweet rewards of toiling bring.
Though wintry winds go bowling by,
The cheering flames are leaping high,
And peace is over everything.
With holly and with mistletoe
We make the world a world of cheer,
And bright the Christmas candles glow,
And love is in the atmosphere.
We hail this holy day of days,
We lift our voices in glad praise
And know that heaven is very near.
So let the Yuletide spirit bring
The higher love which Christmas means
It's rather early yet to sing
Concerning holly and the scenes
Connected with the mistletoe,
But we must do 1t now, you know,
Or fall behind the magazines.

We want everybody to feel happy and contented because Christmas tide is the season when all should be in state of joyful satisfac- ton and life is too short to be other wise. Of course there are some peo- pie who are always happy. Take, for instance, the brass-buttoned, blue coated, keen-eyed ''cops.' They take life about as easy as any class of men that we know anything about. And, say, we are giving beautiful sou venir calendar to each purchaser or pound of our nice-tasting tea or COT fee. and by the way, it happens to be the picture of certain "cop" ana when you receive one, take particular notice what the two little girls are do- ing with his hat, and what the "cur poodle' is doing with his club, and what the tom cat is doing to what he is supposed to drink. and if you don't say that cops take life easy, then we will take back all we've said and try and believe there are no naughty "cops." But please remember your Christmas dinner will not be complete unless you serve our tea or coffee; that's no joke-it's fact.
