And all the birds had wallets new, in

Miss Peacock, hooks for all her "eyes,

And merry grunts and roars and growls

A Christmas Carol.

] hear along our street
Pass the minstrel throngs;
Harkl they play so sweet,
On their hautboys, Christmas songs!
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
In December ring
Every day the chimes;
Loud the gleemen sing
In the streets their merry rhymes.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
Shepherds at the grange,
Where the Babe was born,
Sang, with many change.
Christmas carols until morn.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!
These good people sang
Songs devout and swees;
While the rafters rang,
There they stood with freezing feet.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expired
Who by the fireside stands
Stamps his feet and sings;
But he who blows his hands
Not SO gay carol brings.
Let us by the fire
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire!

To correct this, and also for your

The secret of our success is in the
manner with which we pay our bills,

CAN'T GET RECORDS
State Official Finds Funds
Too Limited to Carry Out
Provisions of New Law
SENDS LETTER TO REGISTER

The State of Wisconsin is having
trouble in correcting the records of the
various counties of the state in regard
to birth, death and marriage statistics
and this fact is shown by a letter
which the register of deeds of this
county received from L. H. Hutchcroft,
the state statistician at Madison today.
The counties throughout the state as
well as Kenosha county seem to be
anxious to get their records completed
and to this end to have the provisions
of the recent law passed by the legis
lature carried out, but the state s
shortage Of money may make it neces-
sary for the county officials to wait for
some time before their records are
all returned to the counties. Several
calls are being made daily for these
records, but the local register of deeds
is unable to furnish them. In his let
ter Mr.. Hutchcroft says:
"We are now at work making copies
Of the birth certificates of the three
months Of 1907 and the calendar year
of 1908. These will be ready to send
out to the various registers of deeds
within a short time After the marriage
certificates to January /, 1909 had been
copied we found that the fee of three
cents provided for this work was not
sufficient in the case of marriages at
least, to carry on the work satisfactor-
lily. AS you are perhaps aware we
have been unable as yet to obtain any
money from the county treasurers for
this work consequently our regular
fund was drawn upon with the permits
sion Of the secretary Of state and the
treasury department, but this money
must be returned to the fund as soon as
possible and since the birth certificates
can be copied more quickly than either
the deaths or marriages we thought it
advisable to- furnish you with the
births at this time, in order that we
may have available money to continue
the work. We are as anxious to have
this work completed as are the regis
tiers of deeds and will do everything
possible to get it to you at the earliest
possible date. -
Continuing the letter states that the
index books for marriages will be sent
out just as soon as they are received
from the state printer.
Under the financial condition of the
state it may be some time before these
records are made complete.
