The Perhappsy Chaps

Aho! will they ever forget that fine
drive
In the wonderful sleigh! All too soon
they arrive
In the santa Claus country. and every
breath brings
The delicious odor OF popcorn ana
things
or boiling molasses--and mixed with
all these
The sweet tingling smell Of the pine
Christmas trees!
A hundred gay workshops cleaned red
'gainst the snow;
Climbing over them all the red holly
vines grow.
One leap OF the reindeers-the marvel
Gus eight
Had cleared at bound the white pep.

Dashes merrily, lights on low build

down they slide,

goodness! Just look!
In his deep chair, a-reading the Good
Children Book
Sat Jolly old Santa Claus. putting
away
At his pipe. calling orders, and every
which way
Tumbled brownies with doll babies,
books by the stack,
Filling up the deep bottomless Santa

"Hello!'' cried st. Nick, looking up
with start.
"Helo Merry Christmas! Why bless
my old heart,
II here aren't visitors!" Can we help,
please?''
Cried the little Perhappsies in ten dill
ferent keys.
Can you help? should say so. I've so
much to do.
With so many good children, III never
get through
without somebody helping!" old Santa
Claus cried.
Then into small groups the Perhap-
psies divide.
A dozen flew off to the Christmas tree

To help cut down trees Just as fast as
they could.
Others rushed to the workshops, where
dolls In a row,
Waited breathless and dressless the
time they should 60.
The Perhappsies soon dressed them,
the tresses were curled,
And into the Santa Claus sack they
were whirled.
A dozen with paint brushes rush here
and there.
Painting soldiers and sleds with great
skill and great care.
They hammered doll furniture, polish
ed up skates,
And packed into boxes doll cups and
doll plates.
Others strung the gay popcorn to hang
on the trees,
And with them a-helping things went
like a breeze.
They stirred up the candy and moulded
it right
Into candy toy animals. MY. what a
sight
It was dears, to see the great hustle
and rush
In the Santa Claus country-sh-h! LIS

You can most hear the Jingle Of bells
and the sweet
Song OF angels a-singing Ger field, lane

So wait, and be patient, and let's me

Help others. just like the Perhappsy
Chaps do!
For high in the heavens the fair Christ

Shines brightly to show where the good
children are!

Ensign Timothy a. Parker, one OF
the Fl men who perished when the
United States submarine IA went
down never to rise in Honolulu har-

friend OF Judge Conn Linn of Tulsa.
Judge Linn recently received direct
communication from parkcr's rela-

was uudoniably a member Of the crew
and that all hope of there being a
mistake had been abandoned.
Parker was an orphan boy when
Judge Linn knew him in Murray, haN-
ing no relatives close enough TO feel
directly interested i'm him and he had
no inheritance. His care depended en-
tirely upon his own energy and cap
abilities. lie was an unusually bril-
liant lad, according TO Judge Linn, and
had a host Of friends who were inter-
ested in him. Through Senator ollie
James Of Kentucky, Judge Linn Sc
cured Parker an appointment to An

graduated with first honOrs Of his
class and entered the naval service i'm
mcdiately.
