THE OLD, SWEET MYSTERY.

Perhaps you're an old curmudgeon
now. but once you were a little child.
and about this time of the year you
are doing for your own children what
VAS once done for you And as you
sit in a reflective mood some OF these
nights. when the house is still. those
dear old innocent days come back to
you. There is the air OF mystery that
used 10 pervade the household when
your elders conversed In whispers and
the very atmosphere breathed of be-
nevolent conspiracy. with the conspir-
ators busy plotting for your happiness
on Christmas morning. And you will
remember coming upon them una
wares sometimes. and there was
hustling and hiding of bundles and
packages. and you were told to go
right out OF this room and stay out. a"
You wondered then. for you were told
and you believed that ever old but
ever new myth about Kris Kringle.
Dear. sweet old days OF mystery
Their hours OF childish delight come
crowding In upon you. IL wasn't long
until you knew better. but nothing on
earth can rob you OF the delicious
mystifcation which preceded the
eventful morn. You have forgotten
other events in your childhood. but
the pleasant secrecy OF the Christmas
tide will always abide with you.
II all passes before you with start

full and exciting might before" when
your stockings were hung. your lisp
ing prayers were said. and you we're
finally tucked In bed. You were a
long time vide awake. but az last ma
turs closed your eyes. and in the doze
that precedes the deep slumber OF
youth you saw mysterious forms NOV

happened 10 you. and you are nov the
father or the mother. or mayhap the
grandfather or the grandmother. but
a sweet peace steals over you You
reflect that the kind hands that once
prepared these JOYS for you have long
since been folded. and the bright eyes
that were wont 70 twinkle over your
enioyments and pleasures have been

OF the committee in favor OF hearing

no present necessity for additional

opposition to the measure is based
mainly on its subsidy character. al
though he professed to be heartily in
favor OF the government going into
the transportation business perma-
nently and owning all the ships. He
objected. however. to the government
