ON CHRISTMAS.

On Christmas Eve the Christ child
Knocked at the rich mans door.
o-night thou hast great plenty;
What hast thou for Gods poor?"
we have no room for beggarS,
We do not want them here"
Slowly He raised up His fncc-
a sad sad smile was there.
Through the dark streets the Christ
child,
Chilled and trembling. sped;
He had no homo to rest in.
No place to lay His head.
The poor child opened wide his door
Peace to this dear household"
The Christ-child entering spoke;
NO more shalt thou be cold,
Nor shalt thou suffer more"
A light shone around about Him
AS He stood in the door
Lifting His small hand skyward-
The poor child bowed his head
Lift up thy face, my brother,
Thou hast not ought to dread.
To-day shalt thou be happy
With Me in My bright home;
Fear not to answer longer,
Thy King hath bid thee Gomez
On Christmas morn they found him,
y smile on his sweet face
And as they gazed in pity
light shone round the place.
AS there in dread they knccled
voice spoke soft and sweet
20. pity not my servant.
He resteth at my feet"

THE HORSE.
80 East Cary street. city.

The horse is very useful animal to
people. Hc is used more than any
other animal by people for doing hard
work. because he is very large and
strong. He is used by farmers for
blowing, running mowers and binders
and harrows. and pulling wagons Pco-
spic very often have some horses that
can run very fast. so they use them
for race horses, and also for horse
shows. Some arc good riding horses
ana some are good driving horses
Some horses are afraid of automobiles
and If people arc not good riders they
often throw them and are some times
hurt. Composed by
