And flickers along the wall;

Like the pure white souls of the

Returning to warmth and the light.
And here alone in the freight glow

And they all drift back from that far

On the waves Of that perfume.

Those loved ones so vastly dear;
The fair-haired. blue-eyed girls and

And it seems but yesteryear.

TWO CHRISTMAS SAINTS.

Time was, as Christmas Eve drew
near.
| OF Santa and his twelve reindeer,
A little lad, sat and dreamed
A presence real the old Saint seemed,
And on that Night Of Nights I'd bark
To hear his sleigh bells in the dark,
And watch, for fear to miss his face
When he came down the chimney
place.
But now, though day dreams throng
my mind.
No trace OF Santa Claus I fnd
My Christmas saint has changed.
Instead
'Of jolly, wrinkled visage red,
Behold a lady where she stands,
The falrest maid in all the lands.
Her thrall am ! for veal or woe
Sweet saint, whose crown is mlstle-
toe.

President Taft is seriously contemplate
ing sending to Congress special mes
sage on the subject of waterways inn
provements. This is a new idea with
the President and he has not yet fully
made up his mind on the subject. The
course of Chairman Alexander in taking
the steps preliminary to the framing of
a river and harbor bill, however; the de-
sertion of Representative Tawney, where
the Mississippi is concerned: Mr.. Tafts
conviction that funds should be expended
for waterways improvement only in ac-
cordance with comprehensive and CO.
ordinated plan, and his belief that water
courses are the natural means of con-
trolling railway rates, all tend to i'm
press on him the advisability of COM
municating his views to Congress In a
special message.
Mr.. Taft believes, it should be added,
that II such comprehensive scheme is
to be undertaken it should be adequately
financed even If it requires bond issue.

alton tax. These protests in recent
