VISIT FROM
ST. NICHOLAS

Twas the night before Christmas when all through
the house
Not creature was stirring, not even mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions Of sugarplums danced through their
heads;
And Mama in her kerchief and | in my cap
Had Just settled our brains for long winter nap;
When out on the lawn there arose such clatter
sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window fled like fash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon on the breast Of the new fallen snow
Gave the lustre Of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and quick
| knew in moment it must be Saint Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by
name.
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer! and
Vixen!
On, Comet on, CupidI on, Donder and BIhenl
To the top Of the porchl To the top Of the wall!
Now dash away! dash awayl dash away, ALL"
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky,
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh full Of toys and Saint Nicholas too.
And then in a twinkling heard on the roof
The prancing and paving Of each little hoof-
As drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in furs from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all furnished with ashes and
SCOT.
A bundle Of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like peddler just opening his pack;
His eyes-how they twinkledl His dimples, how
merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a chenyl
His droll little mouth was drawn up in bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow
The stump Of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like wreath;
He had broad face, and little round belly
That shook when he laughedGke bowlful Of jelly.
He was chubby and plump, right jolly old ELF,
And laughed when saw him, in spite Of myself.
A wink Of his eye and twist Of his head
Soon gave me to know had nothing to dread.
He spoke not word, but went straight to his work
And filled all the stockings; then turned with jerk,
And laying his finger aside Of his nose
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave whistle,
And away they all flew like the down Of thistle;
But heard him exclaim ere he drove out Of sight,
"Meny Christmas to all, and to all good night"

back to what she was telling me.
Yes, sir-said she just scared her
maid-oh, batty! Because she looked
80 ugly in 'em-thats what she
thinks, but OF course-shucks! Any
how, she never wore 'em any more,
and day or two later some coolie
stole them-sold 'em probably"
Suddenly she yawned, stretched her
arms above her head, and flashed me
a dazzling smile. BY Jove, in the
loose-fitting garments she looked for
all the world like an Oriental houri,
or some jolly lovely thing like that.

CANADA Wins AGAIN
THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY
FOR OATS WON A SECOND
TIME BY CANADA.

The most recent achievement Of
Canadas West is winning for the sec
ond time the magnificent $1,000 silver
trophy awarded by the State Of Cole
RADIO for the best peck of oats. At
Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J. c. Hill &
Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan,
placed a peck of oats grown on their
farm in competition, with oats from
every part Of the world. The judges
had no difficulty ia deciding, and the
award was given to the Saskatchewan
grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Expo
sition had no exhibition, and our Ca
madam friends, although ready for a
second contest had no opportunity.
In 1913, the exhibition of the Society
was held at Columbus, S. c.. and it Is
said OF it that it was one Of the best
yet held. At this exhibition, which
comprised corn and all the smaller
grains, Hill & Sons OF Lloydminster
had on exhibition for the contest an
other peck of oats grown on their
Saskatchewan farm, In 1912. There
was no trouble for the judges, no time
necessarily lost in reaching a decision,
Hill & Sons won, and for the second
time their name will appear on the
crest OF the cup. The third space will
doubtless be occupied by their name,
and then this splendid trophy will be
theirs.
During the past few years Western
Canada grains wheat oats, barley and
flax-have been in competition with
grains from all other countries, and in
every case their superiority has been
shown. 1t Is not only in oats, but it
Is in wheat, in barley and in flax, that
Canada more than holds its own, when
placed side by side with grains from
other parts.
Mixed farming Is taking a strong
hold not only in those parts of Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which up to the present have been de-
voted solely to grain growing, but also
I'm the districts contiguous, where the
conditions Of climate. shelter, water,
grass and hay make farming of this
kind, easy to prosecute and large in
profits. 1t was in the Province of
Manitoba that the steer was raised
that carried off the Championship Of
the steer class. at Chicago last De-
cember. This beast had been fattened
on the grass and hay OF the Province
and the only finishing grain it had was
barley; not an ounce OF corn.
Western Canada presents innumer-
able opportunities for the big farmer
who wants to cultivate his thousands
OF acres, the medium man satisfied
with few hundred acres, the man
who is content to farm his free home
stead of one hundred and sixty acres;
1t has opportunities for the investor,
the capitalist. the business man, the
manufacturer and the laborer.
