A Christmas Song.

A Christmas Song.
There's thrill in the air,
There's q joy in the heart,
There isgenerOus stir
In the home and the mart;
For the Yuletide is with US, make ready
to greet
The Child Of the Manger; lay gifts at
His feet
No time for complaining.
For envy or strife;
Let the swift-dying hours
With laughter be rife;
Put by all forbodings, your murmurings
cease;
All hail One that cometh, the bringer Of
peace!
o sing. little children,
And sing, young and old;
Though the joy Of the Christmas
Can never be told
But sing and rejoice, with your banners
unfurled,
For the Christ. that is come is the hop.
of the world.
Selected.
The Land Of Story BOoks.
At evening, when the lamp is lit,
Around the fire my parents sit,
They sit at home and talk and sing,
And do rot play at anything.
Now, with my little gun, I crawl,
All in the dark along the wall.
And follow round the forest track,
Away behind the sofa back.
There. in the night, where none can spy,
All in my hunters camp l lie,
And play at books that have read,
Till it is time to 60 to bed.
So, when my nurse comes in for me,
Home return across the sea,
And 60 to bed with backward looks
At my dear land of Story-books.

THE CONSTITUTION

AS we go to press the battle of
the ballots for the ratification of the
constitution for Arizona is progress
ing all over the Territory.
1t is also certain that the people
of Arizona will ratify the constitu-
ton. Democrats, progressive re-
publicans, organized labor and So
cialists will vote for the constitu-
ton. Those allied against it are the
federal office holders. who are will
ing to keep Arizona territory in
order to hold their jobs.
What the friends of the constitu-
ton want to see is that the people,
already satisfied with the provisions
of the constitution, will give such a
rousing big vote in favor of ratifca-
tion that the president and congress
will realize that it is the wish of the
people of Arizona that they make
their own laws, under which they
must live, and that they must be al
l1wed to do so if they are to main
tain a republican form of govern
ment in the new State.
Outside of office holders and pro-
fessional politicians the people are a
unit for ratification, and the vote
today will show that the people of
Arizona are in line with the best
thought of the day and are progress
sive, and as such are competent t.
make their own organic laws.

QUEER LANGUAGE

why study ancient languages?
Jargon of the Chicago restaurant
and lunch room, is more original
and twice as interesting"
A Chicagoan who for the last IL
years has taken his noonday lunch
con at various quick-lunch counters
in the loop district spoke as above
the other day. He declared that in
his dozen years of eating where he
chanced to be, he had picked up
an unchronicled language.
It's a language in ITSELF" he ex-
planned, and, so far as l have found,
it is peculiar to the two classes,
cooks and walters or the men who
take your order. In different cities
throughout the country these eating
house linguists have different terms
for the same article Of food. For
instance, a ham and in one city
may mean ham and eggs, in another
ham sandwich.
Chicago lupchroom employees
seem to have reached the acme of
perfection in their adopted jargon.
When a half dozen buckwheat
cakes are ordered the waiter yells
to the cook:
A plate O. buck
IF you decide that you want
some boiled eggs to go with the
plate O. buck the waiter fills his
lungs and shouts Justify:
Two in the water, four. ,"
Sounds like golf player" was
interrupted.
Yes" said the student of wait
ers' jargon, that four means that
the eggs are to be left in the water
four minutes.
Burn some,' is a common ex-
preston to take the place of toast.
Burn and butter means buttered
toast.
Besides the expressions given
above, fried eggs are spoken of as
sunny side up or down. If you
order the sunny side up it means
that the egg is to be fried, but not
turned over. If the sunny side is
down. it is fried on one side, then
turned and fried on the other. >

FINE LETTERS

< The Greek poem, Homer's Iliad
contains sol $3.50 letters. The Rom.
an orator, Cicero, declares he had
seen this whole poem written on a
piece of parchment so small that it
could be contained in a nutshell,
This is not very definite, because
nuts are of various sizes. A French
Encyclopedia describes an edition OF
Rochefoucault's maxims published
in 1929, as printed typograpicaily in
pages measuring 95l square mill,
meters and containing rs lines, witt
ia letters to the line. A page on
inch and fifth square would tc
about equal to 95l square m'lIima
ters, which would give, say, so
letters to the inch. What y, Z are

250 letters to the square 'ncI. .dr

The actual number Of letters and
figures on this plAte IS l., $50; and as
its area is triue over one-eighth of

be $4,000. At this rate Homer's
