THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Admirers of William Randolph Hearst
have in the past been none too modest in
eulogies of their idol. II remained how
ever. for the Civic Alliance organization In
the 34th Assembly District, figuratively to
go the limit" On the cover of their menu
at recent dinner was an American shield
with the red and white stripes and field
Of blue, with the stars. A. the left of the
top OF the shield was head of Washing
ton, with the inscription Liberty" On
the opposite side was picture of Lincoln
and the inscription Freedom" At the
apex OF the shield was a handsome por-
trait Of Mr.. Hearst, under which was the
word Equality
Traveller Gn DrearyhurstD-Nice clean
little town you've got here.

YULETIDE.
The King OF Yule is all abroad
With voice as blithe and gay.
As when he ruled the festal board
In bluff King Harrys day.
a hale old soul is our King Yule,
For countless ages ne
Has spread his kindly hearty RUE
Ger all the lands that be
His mighty foasts in days of old
Were shared bv mighty men;
But round his board true hearts Of gold
Still gather now as then
What though tho days Of stricken field
And deeds at arms are gone?
What though with sword and spear and
shield
NJ battle now ie won"
Stout hearts must bear the brunt of blows
Keeuer than SWORD or spear.
Undaunted souls face sterner foes
Than mail-clad cavalier
The times are changed, but stiu the flower
OF knighthood bureeons free
Suil is he best who has the dover
OF truth and bravery.
So. like our sires Of old. NAV we
With joyous hearts and kind
Meet in all love and amity
Where yuletide Wreaths are tv-ined
And may all souls in Christendom
Be G.addened by the ray
OF Bethlehem's bright star that shone
on Christ his own birthday
