If the Republican Congress wishes
to bestow a parting blessing upon
the country, let them enact bill
providing for the Parcels Posi- at
session this winter. This measure
is endorsed by President Taft and
has a heavy advocacy among the
congl essmen of both parties and
should go through like kite if the
Republican leaders will but remove
all Instructions. There is no meas
ure better calculated to advance
sountry life than this one now pend
ing before our federal congress. The
rural mail routes make practical the
delivery OF the packages out in the
rural districts which has in this land
been the greatest drawback to a.

never meant we should pervert the
day with hanging up shirt nor ever
thought. by any chance, OF filling
Rockefeller's pants.
A sockful each is all there is, and
woe to him who takes for his a great
err portion, hook or crook, than eac
originally took. For every person
that decends to tying pants around
the ends, and closing shirts around
the base there is reckoning to face.
The laws of Santa Claus are good,
and in the end are what we would
desire they were-that is to say that
this is everybody's day. A single
sock above the fire is all a body
should require, and there before the
glowing log nobody keen to be the
nog.
In such a spirit was it said tbs all
days are to get ahead except this
one which was designed for everyone
to get behind. The merry holidays
will come, and Santa, Sliding on his
tum, will belly buster to the CRATE,
and do his best at any rate.

The colt will burrow in the stack,
and the festive colt will arch his back
and gambol at a fearful gait to make
his lchor circulate. The bear will
slumber IN his bed and dream that
Roosevelt is dead, and the Winter
night will worry through with the
wolf kiyi-ipg down the hue.
The wind will push against the
door, and our old friend Boreas will
roar and fill the Winter night and fell
with samples of his college yell The
price OF eggs will feel imbupd TO boat
the mark for altitude, and butter will
cavort around about two miles above
the ground.
o happy man that has his hold
stocked up against the Winters cold,
and has no urgent need to reck how
many storms may sweep his dech.
Who has his scuppers bulging kraut
and all things ship-shape in and out,
and all the products OF his cline
right at the portholes all the time.
O happy day that fixed our pick
upon this land and babe us stick our
new born colors in the ground and
CLAIM the country lying round! And
cheers, moreover, one, two, three, for
freedoms aborigine, who did not
prove so awful stout but what we all
could throw him out!
1t is the place, and no mistake, for
raising proyender to bake, and civ
ing freely of the least essential to
Christmas feast. A bug or so is on
the job, and the weather frequently
plays hob, but on the whole and in
the sum we're drotted happy that
we come.
On the 21st of December the sun
will cross the Tropic Capricorn which
will give the trusts the ball on our
tive-yard line, one down to go. They
will go over on the next play and
Mr.. Rockefeller who is playing green
back for the trusts this year, will
kick goal. The feature of Christmas
will be that Mr.. Roosevelt won't
have any. He isn't taking any
chances of Santa Claus even handing
him anything else this year.
Our Mr.. Morgan will revert
To hanging up his spacious shirt,
And tying up the tail to pot
Whatever Santa Claus has got.
O woe is us! How tough it is
To hang our stockings under his!
But faith is hope and hope is trust
And some fine day the tail will bust.
AS many things have bust before,
and bingo! on the parlor floor will
go the Christmas odds and ends with
which his catch-em-all distends. The
costly presents and the rare, and
while we all grab here and there for
each his share OF it the mirth of San
ia Claus will fill the earth.
Those merry peals which rouse the
dead will wake the echoes overhead,
and laughter favored with reproof
reyerberate around the roof. He

FOOD POISONING.

The body produces enough
poison every few hours to kill
one, if the excrctory organs
should entirely fail. The poison
is made chiefly from superfluous
and improperly mixed foods.
The elimination of these poi
sons Is a constant drain on
vitality that should be used to
he'-cr c1vc7t7So, as we see for
chilly when one is excessively
poisoned with tainted beef, fish
or fruit. Careful selection,
thorough mastlcation, avoiding
overea'~g, exercise. right men,
tai attitude, not exposing food
long in damp, warm air, avoid
poisoning to degree. To ig-
more these facts and to dwell
upon them morbidIy are equally
injurious. To know that the
food is good and why is to en-
Joy It the more and benefit the
more; not to know where dan
ger lies 10 dangerous. The food
laws are doing much to protect
Us, but we must use our own
Judgment.

Daily Helps to Health
and Happiness
By GEORGE F. BUTLER. A. NJ. NJ. d.

We all have Ideals; we all
look forward to some day STEP
ping out and up; to better our
own conditions; to advance our
business by some new thought,
sycten1 or discovery. An amhi-
ton truly admirable this, when
honesty Of purpose guides in the
development. But sadly true IL
Is that SeIfishness cuts in, slow
ly at first, but to grow until it
overpowcrs. Honesty of Purpose
becomes Determination for Gain,
and the beauty of it all is swept
aside by the desire for wealth
that will make ease and lux
uries possible. Then, indeed, is
there danger-for the tempta-
ton is great. Ambition is a sin
when the mind becomes warped
and twisted by sefshness. Its
energies are bent toward
shrewd, calculating sharpness.
Honesty has become second
airy principle; friendship is an
unknown quantity; brothers are
enemies. Narrowness, treachery
and absolute dishonesty are fac
tors often brought Into active
use In this great struggle for
Selfish Ambition for success.
And this Is true, that Ambition
to-day Is tor wealth, and with it,
selfish ease and comforts. Sem
timent cannot exist, love is for
eign, and honesty Is an after
thought far too often when
Business is Business. Speed the
day when all men will have
High Ideals. The Religion of
High Ideals is a grand one, and
1t could be so preached and
practiced that Heaven would
not be questioned and He'll
would be a back number. Try
It on!

Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Thought to steal another one,
But when, with bacon 40 cents,
He thought upon the consequence,
And what he probably would get
In case he landed in the net,
The lawyers he would have to hire
To save him from the butchers ire,
; The money Cudahy would spend
To push it to the bitter end,
The merciless concern OF Swift
To see he was not set adrift,
The sum that Armour. if ne fled,
Would offer for him live or dead,
And how the unforgiving lust
For vengeance would move the trust
To make example of him lest
Some other piper's son protest
Against pork chops at thirty fiat,
And picked pigs feet selling at
Six-bits a dozen, souze a bit,
Aud sausage even close to it
When Tom COZ sidered it in brief,
Y And also how much more a thief
He would be this time than before.
He wisely passed the butchers door
Rejoiced that self had stood the test
And went on hoping for the best.
December is from the latin decem.
meaning ten. 1t was originally the
tenth month of the year, but owing
to the widespread unpreparedness
for Christmas it has been showed a.
long from time to time, until it oc-
ours now as far back as we have been
able to get it. Caesar, who was in
the habit Of making each of his SOL
dlers some kind of a present, even
suggested pushing it further along
still and having about fifteen months
iu the year, but the Roman merchants
protested that it was impossible to
sell holiday goods except in very cold
weather, and Brutus, Cassius and
several other Roman business men
finally stabbed him.
The custom OF giving presents was
originated by the Greeks, and they
had such a faculty for getting the
better of it when they exchanged
presents with anyone that the ex-
preston Beware of the Greeks
bearing gifts!" became historic. 1t
was on Christmas day when all
the Greeks were showing what they
had gotten and were laughing about
1T that Diogenes, who made a prac-
tice of criticising the national faults
In some amusing way, set out on his
famous search for an honest man.
The Persians one time resorted tC
arms in an effort to get their pres
ents back, buS they were badly de-
teated at the battle of Marathon, and
no serious attempt to get presents
back has ever been made from that
time to this.

A WEIRD INCIDENT.
Chopin's Funeral March Was Inspired

Chopin's Funeral March Was Inspired
by a Skeleton.
Late one summers afternoon, said
Ziem, Chopin and sat talking in my
studio. In one corner of the room
stood piano and In another the COM
plete skeleton of man with a large
white cloth thrown. ghostlike. about it.
l noticed that now and again Chopin's
gaze would wander. and from my
knowledge of the man knew that his
thoughts were far away from me and
his surroundings, More than that
knew that he was composing.
Presently he rose from his seat with
out word walked over to the skele-
ton and removed the cloth He then
carried it to the piano and. seating
himself, took the hideous object upon
his knees-a strange picture of life and
death
Then, drawing the white cloth round
himself and the skeleton. he laid the
latter's fingers over his own and began
to play. There was no hesitation In
the slow, measured flow of sound
which he and the skeleton conjured
up. AS the music sweled In louder
strain | closed my eyes, for there was
something weird in that picture of
man and skeleton seated at the piano,
with the shadows of evening deepen
ing around them and the ever swelling
and ever softening music filling the mir
with mystery. And | knew | was lis
tening to a composition which would
live forever.
The music ceased, and when looked
up the piano chair was empty, and on
the floor lay Chopin's unconscious
form. and beside him. smashed all to
pieces. was the skeleton priced so
much. The great composer had swoon-
ed, but his march was found

A story is told Of Robert Emmett
which proves his secretive power and
resolution. He was fond of studying
chemistry, and one night late, after
the family had gone to bed, he swal-
lowed a large quantity of corrosive
sublimate in mistake for some acid
cooling powder. He Immediately dis
covered his mistake and knew that
death must shortly ensue unless he in
stantly swallowed the only antidote,
chalk. Tlmid men would have torn at
the bell, reused all the family and sent
for stomach pump. Emmet called no
one, made no noise, but, stealing down
stairs and unlocking the front door,
went into the stable, scraped some
chalk which he knew to be there and
took sufficient doses of It to neutralize
the poison.
