HOLLY FOR SANTA

A frolic on the order Of the ever pop
ular donkey game is always In order
for Yuletide gathering Of young folks
Vary the picture a little to suit the &C.
casion and offer prize to add zest to
the struggle If the shops are not at
hand to offer inspiration for the new
version of this contest, any one with
some little artistic skill can draw a
picture of Santa Claus on square OF
muslin and color with tinted chalks.
The youngsters are blindfolded one
Uy one and are sent to pin spray OF
holly in Santas hand. 1t Is, Of course,
he one who comes nearest to accom-
fishing this feat who wins the price,
copy OF some popular juvenile story.
rhp children who stick their holly
,l,rays farthest away from the mark
nay be condemned to perform some
Emmy stunts. For instance, they may
raw imaginary reindeer In the air
with the index finger in the presence
# the rest of the company.
An amusing Christmas trick Is to
make small star upon the wall with
piece OF white chalk. One by one
the players kneel upon the floor at a
distance of about two feet from the
wall and with arms folded behind the
back bend forward and try to kiss the
mark. With g tail player tie distance
might have to be little greater. but
with players of an average height two
feet from the wall will make 1t very
difficult to succeed. and the arms must
on no account be unfolded Prizes may
be awarded successful players.

December.

oh, holly branch and mistletoe
And Christmas chimes where'er we e
And stockings pinned up in row
These are thy gifts. December! .
And II the year has made thee old
And silvered all thy locks Of gold
Thy heart has never been a-cold
Or known a fading ember.
The whole world is a Christmas tree,
And stars its many candles be.
Oh, sing carol joyfully
The years great feast In keeping,
For once upon December night
An angel held candle bright
And led three wise men by its light
To where a child was sleeping.

W@OR those who can sing and TOT
ia those who cannot the honorable
ballad of the popcorn man or
fers opportunities for huge en-
joyment at the Yuletide, when all Is
jOllity and merriment
The players are arranged in circle.
The leader turns to his left hand neigh
Dor and sings solemnly to a grave or
monotonous tune the following words:
Oh. don't you know the popcorn man?
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man?
Oh don't you know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane?
The leader and every player must
maintain sober face throughout the
chanting of the ditty or pay forfeit.
The next player. thus questioned In
song, must stare the leader in the face
and sing In serious manner this reply:
Oh, yes, know the popcorn man.
Oh, yes, know the popcorn man!
Oh, yes, know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane'
When be has concluded this stanZa
he turns to his left hand neighDor and
interrogates him:
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man?
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man?
Oh, don't you know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane?
The fur continues III this way until
the round of players has been made.
When all have sung the words the
whole company joins in singing the
following chorus:
We all well know the popcorn man.
We all well know the popcorn man.
We all well know the popcorn man
Who lives in poor mans lane.
1t is to be believed that no company
has yet succeeded in singing through
this ballad without accommodating q
large quantity of forfeits.

To provide Yuletide amusement for
the children try the following:
Suspend a wreath Of evergreen or
holly by a red ribbon from the ceiling
and see who can throw an apple
through it. Use soft rubber ball
where the apple would be likely to
break things.
The players stand at the opposite end
Of the room from the wreath and on
base which has been arranged for in
advance.
All those whose missiles actually
pass through the wreath receive pop.

STORIES OF CRUELTY
BRANDED AS FALSE
Letter From Germany Says Ameri-
cans Are Surprised at First
Reports.

LONDON, Sept. THAT the ma
jority of the stories concerning the
alleged maltreatment Of Americans in
Germany are false is borne witness
TO by a prominent American consular
official stationed in Germany who in a
letter received Monday at London
says:
THE American newspapers just to
hand have astonished the Americans
living here. 1t is safe 10 say that 80
per cent of the news which the United
States has received from London and
Paris not only misrepresents the con-
ditions in Germany and at the front,
but is absolutely false.
Fortunately there are sailing 10
America within the next few days
some 5000 Americans who have been
living in Germany during the last
four weeks and who Will place before
the American public a far different
picture than that which is being re-
ceived from London and Paris"
The identity OF the letter writer is
not given because diplomatic rules
forbid its publication.
