We wish all our readers a merry and
happy Christmas. To some of these
this is the twenty.fifth time that we
have expressed that wish in print. We
shall not. IN all probability, Christmas
with them as long again, but let us all live
as long as we do live,-and there is no
better way to live than to live happy as
one can be. Some people seem only to
be happy when they are the most miser-

us cultivate the better crop and strive to
kill the weeds.

return south in the fall looks down from
its lofty height with its defiant "honk."
This goose however, fell into captivity
while young and affiliated with the barn.
yard fowls for three years. It was ap-
parently contented excepting in the fall
and spring when it would mount the
highest place around and greet the more
fortunate of its tribe as they flew over.
