THEY HAVE JOLLY Time.
Enjoy Rabbit Dinner Followed by
Christmas Trees.

The county offices are all quiet today
in observance of the Christmas holiday
but ar the county Jail all was act1vlty
this morning. preparing for the prison
ers a Christmas celebration well cal
culated to alleviate the odium Of their
incarceration. And the unfortunate men
confident of something unusual were all
singing at the top of their voices the
score of songs compiled from the con-
tributions of each.
The prisoners forecasted the holiday
by the usual custom of hanging stock
ings. When Undersherim BayllsS ana
Deputy Sauls looked around the JAN
this morning, there on the door or the
cell room in the most conspicuous view
of the bars hung the varied hued SOCKS
of q inmates. The socks of prisoners
offer to an unsuspecting person lp-
eral education in fancy hosiery and the
scenery was enjoyed to the full extent
as was undoubtedly intended. But the
collection was further enhanced by the
irony of underwear-tied at the ends
and hung with the inscription, "Oh you
Santai"
The undersheriffs wife did not dis
appoint the hopefuls in the mater OF
a Christmas dinner For the q prison
ers, an order of 81 rabbits was dumped
in her kitchen. No one. however o1tl-
mistic, could imagine a turkey dlnnef
for = and let each have his fiil but
whole juicy rabbit right off the snow
for each one is most happy lAouStAe
The bushy tailed rompers from the
snowy fields were served with real
Christmas trimmings. Cranberries' eel
cry, mashed potatoes. and mlnce pie
were added as trimmings. No more sat
isfying menu has been offered at the
Jail in decades.
But yet that is not all the joy IN
store The Y. NJ. c. A. men have stor-
ed in the parlor cell two Christmas
trees, a bushel of apples, quantity OF
nuts and other treats and are expect
ed to bring more cheer when they come
down to set up the evergreens this eV-
ening.
Yet all this. as bright as. it may
seem to those have been confined

on the undried tears of two youths
thrown in last night-on Christmas eve

The old.fashioned bonnet that Nell

Without any plumes and red cher

The bonnet that didn't require phony

The dishpan effect may be stylish

May be quite the rage and recherche

But give me the hat she tied under
