JAP MC.ClA|N AND
HIS FAST HORSE

Pobably few people in Calgary
outside of certain horsemen, re-
alize THAT within short distance
of Calgary is the fastest three-year-
OLD PAGER in the world to-day.
This colt is Patris de Orc and
is owned by j. w. McClain of Mon
arch. This wonderful PAGER was
raced six times in three and four
year-old races on the Western
Canada circuit this year and never
lost a heat or race and incidently
got a mark of 2:22 Ia at Brandon
At Regina it was rumored that
ti.is colt paced al mile in 2:11 Ia

within two seconds of the worlds

a three-year- PAGER, which is
2:09 IA all horsemen We're won

1t was then that an incident turn

SANTA CLAUS IS
COMING TO EXTRA

He comes right down the chimney
When the Christmas bells are rung.
When little folks are fast asleep
And stockings all are hung.
All loaded down with pretty things,
With guns and dolls and drums;
So be sure and hang your stockings
Where he'll see EN- when he comes
You might hear him swiftly COM
ing,
Riding on the wintry blast;
His reindeer team a-jingling,
And their hoofbeats falling fast.
His furs are black with chimney
SCOT,
His beard is w',iite as snow,
His sleigh is full of pretty toys
You ought to hear him go.
He lights upon the sleety roof
And doesn't Stop minute;
He jumps upon the chimney top,
And down he jumps withdn it;
He pauses ON the hearthstone,
Ard takes little peep
TO see if all the curly heads
Are safe in bed asleep.
He goes about ON tiptoe,
Nor makes a bit of noise
He fills up all the stockings
With sugar plums and toys;
AND then he gives a little laugh
Pops up the chimney quick,
And off he jing les on the wind,
The jolly old St. Nick.

JUNIPER FOR PENCILS

The output of lead pencils in the
United States amounts to 900, 900
a day and it requires 100000 Gu.
TT. of wood for their manufacture.
AS few people carry sharp knives
with which to sharpen them for use
it is not practicable to use hard
woods and cedar has BEEN used al
most exclusively.
AS the supply of cedar is dimin-
ishing rapidly the Forest Service
and manufacturers have been some
what worried over the lumber sit
uation.
u is found after a long series OF
experiments that juniper is the most
available substitute for red cedal
and arrangements are being made
by some of largest manufacturers
for lumber rights in the juniper
lands of New Mexico.

THE OLD SCHOOL
HOUSE WILL Be SOLD

1t is to be hoped that when the
old school house is offered for
sale that some one with a progress
i've spirit, and a heart right for the
good of The City Beautiful will buy
the structure and convert it into cot
tages for rent.
The old building is rich in good
lumber, and in tearing it down, if
care is exercised enough material
can be- saved to build three or
four good cottages.
The cottages would be taken as
completed at a fair rental, making
it a good Investment for some one.
