NOTHING more farcical ever occurred
in the House OF Representatives than
the performance of last Thursday, when
the printing committee favorabN reported
the concurrent resolution providing Tor
the printing OF 2,aoo,ooo copies OF the
Congressional Record containing the
speeches of members rebuking the Presi-
dent. Most folks thought the resolution
would go through, after Bennett of New
York Gardner of Massachusetts ana
few other champions OF the President had
interposed formal objections, just as was
the case with the resolution OF censu'e
from the Perkins special committee ap-
pointed to prepare a slap on the wrist Tor
the chief executive.
But 10 and behold, what did happen!
Mr.. Gardner made a point of order
against the resolution, which was over
ruled Members of the House spoke
against it-Mann, Douglass and a lot or
others Then up got Judge Smith. one or
the aggrieved members. or, at least. one
of the members specially named In the
Presidents secret service report, and who
might at least be entitled to think him
self aggrieved He urged that the resolu-
ton be not agreed TO and in time granted
him by Mr. Lands. who had reported the
resolution from the printing committee,
he moved that ii be tabled.
There wasn't even a whisper in OPPOSE
ton. So there will be no 2.OooOo0 copies
of the rebuke distributed to educate the
country up to the point OF considerNs
the President quite, quite wrong. 1t was
certainly one large, ornate and otherwise
grand joke. IRVING e NoR"ooD'

SOME EARNEST
 HOLIDAY DON'TS
ONT think that you are too poor
 to keep Christmas You can't be . so poor as all that.

noNf think that you are too poor
 to keep Christmas You can't be D so poor as all that
 Don't spend so much on Christ mas that you cant get eveu with the butcher and grocer until March.
 Don't give presents that are Il pleas ure for ten minutes and burden and worry for ten years.
 Don't, young women, buy neckties for your men folk: don't encourage them in being bigger guys than neces- sarN
 Don't give T drum to the children of your enemy who works nights \ watehnans rattle is just as good, and II is cheaper
 Don't give your wife something she doesn't care for just because yon want ii yourself This don't" works he other way just as we'll
 Don't forget that a basket of fruit or box of flowers is just aS nice a pres ent in many cases as something that will last q good deal longer.
 Don't try to find the price marks on the gifts you receive. If the gifts are worth having they mean something above dollars and cents.
 Don't forget the Bob Cratchits and the Tiny Tims-that is. unless you are unregcncrate Old Scrooge, in which case Expenditures can be explained. Don't put off everything to the last because you had better for the joy of your friends give nothing than wear yourself out and be as cross as two sticks when the blessed day comes.
 Don't waste any of your pity on the long haired youths who lie at the bot tom of the heap in football scrim- images You will need all your pity for yourself in the rush at the holiday counter
 Don't check off each gift you receive against each present that you gave and calculate whether you made or lost. Christmas is not the time to be any smaller or meaner than you can help.
 Don't oppress children who are sa- tiated to sadness with toys already by giving them more. There are other ways of making them happy, or 1T there are not it is because they are spoiled with many pleasures and are the most pitiful beings alive. In that case let them try doing something for poor children, who are blessed in powers of enjoyment, and see if the capacity won't prove catching.
 Don't neglect, if you are a woman, to lay in stock of some simple things like handkerchiefs and sachet bags for unexpected emergencies if you like to meet various people with q reasonable token.
 Don't set your own happiness up as the chief thing to be looked opt for at

DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT SANTA CLAUS WILL FIND US ON THE SEA ?'' On the good ship Polly the Christmas
 sun shone down And on a smiling little face beneath
 golden crown. No happier child he saw that day on
 sea or on the land Than the captains little daughter
 with her treasures in her
 hand. For never was a stocking so filled
 with curious things. There were bracelets made of pretty
 shells and rosy coral strings, An elephant carved deftly from a bit
 of ivory tusk, A fan, an alligator tooth and it.

 the Christmas cheer, For the captains little daughter was
 to every sailor dear. They heard a Christmas carol in the
 shrieling wintry gust, For child had touched them by her

 For ships must sail Though fierce the gale And loud the teynpests blow.
