Waiting for Saint Nicholas

Gathered by the Christmas fire,
Their hearts filed with delight
Where the mistltoe is hanging
Their joyful laugh we hear,
Mid the chimes Of bells that echo,
The sounds OF Christmas cheer.
Sounds that bring sweet memories,
From the shores of long ago.
The blushing youth, the nader fair.
Under the mistletoe.,
The happy, little children
The brilliant Christmas tree,
The JOY Of loving parents,
In their faces, We can see.
Turn hack the dead old pages

Mingle once again in toyland,
Mid the innocent end bright.
Cast aside your troubles.
Drive away your tears,
Forget your hair has turned to gray,
Forget the fleeing years.

railroad properties OF the United
States are now returning an average
of only "a 20 4 I-2 per cent on their

they have little to lose and every
thing TO gain.
Most Of the railroads in this couu-
try were built by much cheaper labor
than can now be obtained, and equip

lower. With few or no exceptions
they have been putting a portion OF
their earnings back into the proper.
