this is impossible, the exiled

The first real snow of the season
began falling before daylight
Tuesday morning and continued
up to six o'clock in the evening.
1t simply poured down all day,
though it never measured more
than three inches deep at any time,
it being warm enough to melt quite
little as it fell. 1t will add great :
ly to the already fine season in the
ground, as it was so heavy with
water being almost like rain.

THE WEEK BEFORE
CHRISTMAS.

This is the week before Christ
mas. The center of American
thaught is not now far away
but is centercdSin each Ameri-
can home 1t glows a b Il t
father and mother and brother
and sister and shines with
brighter radiance, for it is the
self conferred thought of love.
The air is surcharged with the
kindness to the others. All the
thought this week will be about
what Mary will be most pleased
with and how happy mother
will be when she sees that nice
but that's telling and half the
pleasure comes from the con-
sediment. Half the good of Civ
ing comes from keeping the left
hand from knowing what the
right hand is doing. Nobody
doubts the pleasure cf Christ
mas morning. but the week be-
fore is just as intense and is
longer drawn out.
The morning of Christmas
day is rich in its reverence and
smiles, but the week before
Christmas is educational to- soul
and heart.
The heart begins to sprout at
Thanksgiving and it swells I'M
til the week before Christmas
when it is ready to burst out in
full bloom from the accumulated
sap ofhuman kindness by which
it has been fed. The week be-
fore Christmas has never had
its dues. The brightest week
before Christmas that ever hap
pened was some twenty, thirty,
forty or fifty years ago-it is
tedious to count dates. You re-
member all about it. You were
a little thing, but you never in
after life were quite so import
ant to Yourself. There were
whispelings which ceased when
you entered the room and when
you woke up about midnight
you found the lamp still burn
ing and your mother still up
and. working on something that
she puts under the chair when
you turned over in your bed.
The old turkey gobbler in the
pen was gobbling all day long to
his FORMER associates OH the out
side and eating corn with a
gluttonY which was to brig
its own recompense. Y Ii
found out for the first time that
the business world had been
working overtime all year es-
pecially to stock up on Christ
mas gifts for the boys and girls.
You had your own gifts for
the others hidden where one of
Poe's wonderful detectives could
not have found them-in the
middle of the wood pile or hung
down in the unused stock well
in the fed. There is never a
week before Christmas to equal
those that came then.
Christmas tide has a twofold
interest, material and a spirit
ual. Some love it because il
comes but once a year, and
with it brings good cheer, y
Others, because it is preemine t.

YE SLAVES OF THE WEED

YE SLAVES OF THE WEED.
There are fathers and mothers
all over the land
Achieving and smoking as hard
as they can.
While the children are scolded
and rushed off to bed,
All dirty and ragged, aud crying
for bread.
Many thousand young men in
our land day by day
Are putting cigaretts and dying
away.
The filthy old stuff, fair ladies
will dip,
And spoil their great beauty bN
filling their lip.
A very small babe sitting on
mothers knee
Achieving tobacco, a sad sight
to see;
The boys and the girls, just now
in their prime,
Are learning to use it-they'll be
sorry some time.
A father once said with his eyes
full of tears.
Il cannot quit chewing-P5e
trieo it for years."
While the dying young man says
he sadly regrets
That he ever did learn to smoke
cigarotts.
A snuff using motherl O. what
a shame!
Shall we call her mother! She's
not worthy that name,.
For her babe is now lying in the
cold grave at rest
From'the poison of the snuff that
is nurSed from her breast.
Oh, shutters and buffers, ye
slaves of the weed,
Is your path clear to heaven? Is
your hope sure indeed?
Are you snutfing and putting to
the glory of Code
Are you travelling the pathway
our Savior once trod?
You'll confess that you're angry,
and cross and all wrong,
When you're craving a chew,
and YOU plug is all gone;
0 where does your patience and
religion then lie?
On a plug of tobacco or home in
the sky!
Ye slaves of the weed, heed the
words that Dsay;
Lay down your tobacco, no long
tr delay,
For Jesus is calling to you and
to me,
an save you and cleanse you
and let you go Free"
Now you'll surely confess that
my story is true;
Then how can you continue t.
smoke, dip or chew!
Quit snutfing and putting. be
wise evermore,
And Elk for home on Canaal's
bright shore.

Il do not see where Mctioorty comes
in for any such claim. said Papkc.
HE has been making a reputation out

I was lucky to get 81 900 for my end.
When IL costs me 81, 200 TO get ready
for a hard battle. I can't see why
