The Christmas Stocking


7ANG up the Christmas stockings:
Leave not dear one out,
And wake on Christmas morning
With ringing song and shout,
- For in the silent midnight
| Shall Santa Claus appear
And crown with gifts of gladness
The love time of the year.
Hang up the baby's stocking.
The cunning little elf
Is still too very thin
To do il for herself.
And hang the mothers stocking,
| oh, very plain I'm sight!
Some one must think for mother.
or she'll forget II quite
| Hang fathers sturdy stocking
| Right here between the boys,
And give him books and papers,
AS ne gives the children toys.
| Let Santa Claus bc careful
About the politics,
For father has a conscience
That to the right side sticks.
e Hang up the old folks stockings;
Hang up the little girls.
Dear grandma with her silver hair.
Sweet FloSsy with her curls,
VIII both he very happy
When dawns. in roseate cheer.
The merry Christmas morning.
The love time Of the year

COMBINED SHOWS COMING.
Young Buffalo Wild West Aggregation
Here Tomorrow.

The progress of the Young Buffalo
Wild West, Vernon c. Seaver's Hippo
drone and Col. Cummins s Far East,
which will exhibit in Brattleboro to-
morrow is spicy and up-to-date through
out Vernon C. Seaver, the general
manager of the combined shows, claims
that in making up the program he had
so much material to draw from that it
was possible for him to leave out
everything of the yellow leaf order
and to include only such members as
were new and assured successes. He
says that from the opening to the clos
ing numbers, everything shown viii be
found to be fresh and original
Among the features that are new
to America this season is the Eta
Myres quartet, consisting of a girl, a
pony, dog and Tiny Muggins, the
smallest elephant, who is said to be
an entire show himself Their per-
Torrance includes a lot of tricks hith-
erto unknown, among them a football
| game that IS said to be a scream.
Another feature is Captain Hardin :
Cadets, company of comely Castilian
maids who have been trained to the
hne point of perfection in military
exercises and the manual of arms by
Capt. n. F. Hardin, a world famous
drlllmaster. Their work is said to be
accurate and precise to degree rarely
attained outside of a crack military
! school.
| The comedy section of the combined
shows has been given careful atten-
ton, with the result that it is one of
the most entertaining parts of the ag-
gregation. Such acts as The Bounding
| Hayrack, the Penobscot Rube, the
| TaXimeter and The Dance of the
| Jungle are rarely seen in such numbers
with a tent show Some turn of q
comedy nature is kept in the arena
from ,1lrst to last according to the pro-
gram.
1t is claimed for the Wild West,
/ Hippodrome and Far East that every
number billed is of the very best of
its class. In all more than six hundred
people are required to carry out the
program it offers. Although lack OF
space forbids a detailed description of
the program, it is promised that novel
/ ~ and originality have been attained
Throughout and that no one can say
of any part of the performance that
he has seen the same thing done as well
Or better elsewhere
4 street parade will leave the show
grounds at 1890 the day of the ex-
hihition here. The performances will
start at ami p. m. and the doors
will open an hour before each.
