Why?


Perhaps you wonder, now and then,
What joy there 70 in living.
The cry within Is hard to still;
The way seems always up the hill.
The briars unforgiving.
Perhaps you struggle with your load
Gripped tight in fingers horny
IT seems, somehow, it doesn't pay
To worry on the self-same way
Where paths are rough and thorny.
The same old load. the same old hill
To tackle every morning,
With little hope when nights begun
That you may rest where setting sun
Is all the West adjoining.
I do not know, l cannot still
The cry that in you rises
And vet II seems that all will blend
In golden sunset at the end
When God awards his prizes.

To pay for all the weary days,
To pay for all the rocky ways.

The coming of Christmas II nevel
forgotten At the White House. While
every presidents family has cele
brated the festival according to thell
own wishes. and without attempting
TO follow precedent. none have eveI
lpernitted the occasion to pass unno
lticed.
President Jackson. whose wife was
dead and who had no family. and
whose friends were his political asso
ciates. made of Christmas a gala day
for the few servants OF the White
House. numbered among whom were
two or three personal attendants from
his Tennessee plantation.
But few presidents have had young
children to make Merry Christmas in
the White House. During the civil
war Tad Lincoln was the White House
baby. and around him centered the
interest at Christmas time. The fol-
lowing true story is told OF Tad at
that time:

Mr.. Lincoln was not at nrst disposed
to take the suggestion favorably. but
