Ut was the good ship Polly, and
she sailed the wintry sea,

fierce the gale, and a pre-
cious freight had she.
Twas the captains little daughter
stood beside her fathers
chair
And illumined the dingy cabin with
the sunshine of her hair.
With a 70 heave no and a 20 heave

For ships must sail
Though fierce the gale
And loud the tempests blow.
The captains fingers rested on the
pretty, curly head.
Tomorrow will be Christmas day."
the little maiden said.
"Do you suppose that Santa Claus
Will lind us on the sea
And make believe the stovepipe is a
chimney just for me :"
Loud laughed the jovial captain and
''By my faith" he cried,
"If he should come we'll let him
know he has a friend insidep'
And many a rugged sailor cast a
loving look that night
At the stovepipe where lonely lit
tie stocking futtered white.
With 20 heave ho and 20 heave

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

Quincy Adam Sawyer" the drama
tization OF Charles FELTON, Pidgin's
famous New England novel of the

notable instances where book plays
have been successful. The temptation
to put on the stage the dramatiza.
ton OF successful and widely read
novel is great. There is always the
advantage that the name of the play
has already had so much publicity
through the sales of the novel but
in about nine OF ten case the book
play Is a failure. In this instance the
majority of people declare that they
like Quincy Adams Sawyer as q
play even better than they did the
book. The permanent success of this

Are you one of those very literal folk
who have their doubts whether they
ought to let their children cling to the
beautiful old myth?
Without imagination. without dreams,
without poetry, this old world of ours
would be very wearisome place. Its
road would be sleeper than 1t is--mucb
like sleighing over bare ground would
our progress be as compared with
sleishing over deep, hard packed snow.
The poetic myth of the old saint,
with his reindeer and his jingling bells
and his bulglng pack of toys and bon
bons, has charmed thousand genera
tlons. The stocking hung by the chin.
ney on Christmas eve, the children
staying awake until sleep pounced on
them like strong man armed, the
presents filling them from top to toe
In the morning, the rush of the bare
feet hurrying fast across the floor. the
merry uproar, the bubbling laughter,
the shouts of joy--the whole of this
family pageant belongs to dear Santa
Claus. We owe 1t to him. Gradually,
as the golden mists of childhood clear
before the sun and the trailing clouds
OF glory fade. our small men and wo-
men discover that Santa Claus Is not
one, but ten thousand; that he is better
than they knew, being just the spirit
Of love, good will aud beautiful un-
selishness that makes the world
beautiful place to live in now and
makes 1t good starting point for
heaven by and by. For you and me
there is hope that we may do our duty
In this world lovingly while we keep
the child heart and believe in Santa.

On the good ship Polly the Christmas
sun shone down
And on q 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 a lit.
tie bag of musk.
Not tar aboard the Polly but felt
the Christmas cheer,
For the captains little daughter wai
to every sailor dear.
They heard a Christmas carol in the
shrieking wintry gust,
For child had touched them by hel
simple, loving trust.

Though fierce the gale
And loud the tempests blow.

Blessed Are the Peacemskers.

Mere men having wabbled in their
efforts to preserve peace and amity
between Great Britain and Germany,
the women have decided to take a
hand. To be sure there is no war,
but there are signs In the interna-
tional sky that are not %reassuring and
the barometric pressure is low. The
kaiser's corns and King Edwards
rheumatism also warn them that the
conditions are unsettled and that it is
not good policy to be caught out with
out an umbrella. But fair woman's
smiles may sooth the rufled front of
war and make the ambitious soldier
as harmless as a cooling dove.
The wal proposition is a serious one
for the European women. With
American heiresses taking so many of
the titled young men opportunities are
few enough now, but with the flower
Of two countries killed off in war the
chances of the d%ebutante would be
desperate indeed, besides the young
officers would be seriously missed from
the cotillion If they were called into
active service.
Women as pawns in the interna-
tional game have not always been a
success. Helen of Troy was a notable
example, the first Napoleon's Austrian
bride failed to bring him peace and
the marriage of an English princess
to Emperor Williams father has not
increased the friendliness of those two
nations, but possibly that is because
man is perverse. At any rate, the men
do not appear to be scoring much of a
hit at bringing about good feeling be-
tween the nations and the women
could do no worse. and If they can do
better, or even help preserve the statu
quo, they will be entitled to a share of
the credit

TIL tell you what would have an i'm
portant bearing on the prosperity of the
country" says James J. Hill-"If all the
members Of congress went home right now
and stayed home for three years"
Were congress to take Mr.. Hills advice
the constitution would be suspended and
there would be no government Of the
United States from July l, 1910. to July 10,
1912. All the departments of government,
including the postal service, would have
to shut up; there would be no money to
run them. The army and navy would
have to go out of business. When one Of
Mr.. Hills astute lawyers went to a fed
eral court to apply for an injunction to
restrain the enforcement of a vicious piece
OF state legislation, no order could be
granted, because there would be no court.
The president could enforce no laws; the
federal judiciary could not dispense Jus
tice; all government except that which the
states administer would be paralyzed.
Probably Mr.. Hill did not mean what he
said; but isn't there enough foolishness
