A Christmas Game.

The chest may be arranged in any
way that will hide one of the players
The game is based on the old poem,
"Mistletoe Bough:'
The mistletoe hung in the castle hall.
The holly branch shone on the old oak
wall.
The baron's retainers were blithe and
gay
A-keeping the Christmas holiday.
The 'retainers" all form a ring about
the clover" who is blindfoided. The
retainers sing:
Here we are so blithe and gay,
Keeping our Christmas holiday.
One will hide in the chest hereby.
To guess who it is you must surely try.
With that one of the "retainers" runs
and hides in the improvised chest.
The clover" is led to it, and be may
ask questions of the hidden one, who
may reply by "Yes'' or NO." disguis-
ing the voice. By these answers the
clover" must tell who the retainer is.
If be fails he must try again. When
he succeeds the hidden person becomes
the lover.

holly she had been toying with, and
fairly flew to the telephone.
In answer to her impatient sum-
Brown & Co.'s book store. Have you
sent out those books that were order
ed for Mr.. William Dunning?" she ask
ed anxiously.
The answer evidently pleased her,
for she breathed sigh of relief.
That's all right; I'm glad you haven't,
for 1 have changed my mind about
them. Please cancel the order"
Marjorie hung up the receiver with
an air of triumph. There, I'm glad I
thought of that! Billy would have
construed Christmas present into an
abject apology" she said, her indig-
nation rising at the very thought Of
such thing.
But when she went back to her par
cells and picked up the little twig of
holly she had intended tucking away
into one of them, her face softened. II
know that isn't the right kind of a
Christmas spirit to have, but I can't
have Billy thinking that l am admit
ting I was wrong, when I know I
wasn't" she argued with herself.
The joyous ringing Of Christmas
bells and merry shouts Of her younger
sisters and brothers, when they dis
covered their stockings the next morn
ing, only served to emphasize her de-
preston.
BILLY never loved me; if he really
and truly did he never could treat me
like this" she told herself as she stood
looking with unseeing eyes at the
snowy Christmas world.
Just then a young man, fairly tear
ing around the corner, arrested her at
tention. It was no less a person than
Billy himself who was coming, post
haste, to see her.
Marjorie looked at him in won
der. What had come over Billy?
Why this sudden contrition, when, she
admitted it now for the first time,
even to herself she had been greatly,
if not altogether, to blame for their
quarrel.
20, Billy, I am so glad you came"
Billy took some little time to empha-
size his appreciation Of her welcome,

buy it in winter. and this is where we
store it,"
Going to the stairs up the companion
way, she pulled out tiny drawers.
Small knobs jutted out from the face
of each step with which to open the
drawers. while within there was quite
room enough to allow pint fruit jars
to stand upright.
A cold storage room was tucked
away in the hold, into which a small
door about two feet in height opened.
The dining table was a folding affair
which turned up against the wall Of
the cabin when not in use.
When some surprise was expressed
at The presence Of a sewing machine
in the room Mrs. Boggs said: "Oh.
that's nothing. Many of the boats
have organs as well. and there is one
fitted up with porcelain bathtub. So,
you see, we have some of the luXuries
Of city houses and plenty OF good air
and sunshine. A concert is TO be
given on one of the boats here New
Years eve, and if you should like TO
come down we'd be glad to have you
and show you a bit of canalboat hos
pitality."
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1911-12-13
Christmas on
A Canalboat

How are we going TO spend Christ
mas? exclaimed the good natured Mrs.
Captain Boggs, seemingly bit sur
prised at the question, for canalboat
folk are sensitive of any criticism aim
ed in their direction.
why, we're going to spend the day
just like other folk Some think be-
cause we live on canabOats we don't
have any comforts and eat like saw
ages. My, but Id heap sight rather
live down here than in Il fat like my
niece'S. She's got six rooms, and they
don't begin to be as big as mine.
IF you think there amt room just
look here" and Mrs. Boggs displayed
the secrets Of a suit of rooms, the in
genuity OF the arrangement rivaling
the den of the New York bachelor girl.
Out of the main cabin, which served as
living and dining room combined. two
acoves jutted, besides an infinitesimal
corner dubbed the kitchen, but which
was even timer than the modern apart
ment house kitchenette.
While under ordinary circumstances
the kitchen was part of tile cabin
proper, two doors at right angles to
each other could be drawn out. which.
meeting, formed a room by itself. A
shiny coal stove or range quite filed
the compartment, leaving just room
before it in which to work, while above
it every inch of wall space was utilized
with pots and kettles and kitchen uten-
sis of every sort.
A low cupboard opening into the
hold contained more articles of kitchen
use, as well as vegetables and canned
goods. Bunks were displayed in the
two other alcoves, which were in open
view of the cabin. But from the re-
cesses of the boat Mrs Boggs pulled
out a sliding door, which completely
divided the space into two rooms, I'd
when curtains were drawn into the
cabin the occupants enjoyed all the
privacy desired.
A big divan could be opened up at
night into roomy double bed, and an
other bunk. Just under the caves"
! was sufficiently large to tuck two
small youngsters away. Chests Of
drawers built in, wardrobes and cup
boards in out of the way places sup
piled room for bedding, clothing and
the boots and shoes of a family Of
children.
One of the biggest surprises in the
boat. one which conveyed hint that
might be applied in small houses where
room is at a premium, was the pre-
served fruit lockers.
1--WE all do up our own fruit" went
on Mrs. Boggs. You see, while we
go up the canal we are in the country
most of the time. and it is much
cheaper to put up our own fruit than

For Christmas

The bells chime happily across the
night
The night that crowns the almost dy-
ing year
And soon the morning. with it's dawn

Proclaims that Christmas day at last
is here.
The children high aloft the boar's head
bring.
And as they march their merry carols
sing.
While Christendom joins in their tune
ful lay.
For at this season all are glad and
gay.
And men and women, with their
hearts aglow.
Shout out with one accord on Christ
mas day.

then "Glad I came? Why wouldn't I
come, dear?" he asked.
Because you vowed you wouldn't
unless I apologized," Marjorie explain
ed mischievously.
you didn't think I'd be so narrow
and unforgiving as to ignore your dear
little peace Offering? | brought one of
the books with me to read something
to you,'' he told her, and diving into
his pocket he produced a little copy
Of Romeo and Juliet"
Marjorie was surprised for a second,
then it flashed over her what it all
meant Brown & Co. had forgotten to
cancel her order and Billy had re-
ceived the books. Billy had construed
her sending them into humble plea
for forgiveness.
He most probably wouldn't have
come at all if it hadn't been for that.
She stiffened visibly and all her love
was swallowed up in a wave of rebel
lious pride
"You are Mistaken she commenced
cOldly, but Billy interrupted her.
Here, have found it.
My bounty is as boundless as the
sea,
My love as deep, the more I give to
thee

The chosen theme of many a fancy's
fight.
A ballad mOnger or sonneteer
Yearly his Christmas poem will indite
Of coy maiden and her cavalier.
Shakespeare full often had his merry
fling.
And Milton tuned his harp to noble
string;
Irving the scenes of Christmas could
betray.
And Dickens it's true spirit could con-
vey.
To song and story a rich debt we
owe.
And with triumphant cheer this tribute
pay,
Hail to the Yule log and the mistle-
toe!'
And as the sacred season circles near
All evil thoughts and themes are
banished quite:
Our lives become more gentle and sin
cere;
OuF uedEIS can uQu no TOOTH lot UolS
or spite.
Paeans of praise from thankful hearts
upspring
To celebrate the birthday of the King.
All humbly for our brothers. veal we
pray
And ask blessing on our future way;
Our generous gifts on others we be-
stow;
Peace upon earth, good will to mem"
we say.
Hail to the Yule log and the mistle-

ENVOY
Spirit of Christmas. we accept thee =
yea,
Right willingly we bow beneath thy
sway!
We join our songs to those of long
ago
With this refrain. for ever and for aye
Hail to the Yule log and the mistls-

Man is by nature polaga- nous animal.
 Woman is by nature mono gamous.
