Vow to me now"
Said the innocent lover;
''Vow to me now"
Boldly he glanced at the plant
Just above her
The mistIetOe bough.
Swear that you love
And will marry me. dear,
While up above
Christmas stars shine so clear.
Kiss me and VOW,
Under the bough,
Always. fOTever. you'll cherish
me near.
Tender her Hiss
As gayIy she told him
Joy of her bliss
So close to Unfold him
Under the spray.
Then she sent him away.
Twas time for the next, SO why,
why should he stay?

NOTES.
BY A SCHOOL BOY

A new schedule of study has been
established in the school. This pro
gram calls for seven periods of forty
minutes each, instead of six periods of
torty-iive minutes each. i he pupils
have welcomed this change with an
acciamatlon OF JOY (?), for they have
now longer hours ana more work.
Santa Claus must have been over
stocked with mackinaws. Almost
every fellow in school has one.
Now that "Fenny' Gundling has
left school, time seems to hang heav-
Ily on our hands.
If Fat Velsey had his hands cut off,
ne would be speechless.
Mr.. Gibbons almost insulted the
Junior boys. He alluded to them as
grown up, sensible boys"
Murphy-Where are you going,
loban?
1oban-Down the road to get some
Jewish ice cream.
Murphy What kind of cream is
that =?
Toban-Why an ice cream CONE.
Heard from girl-"My, but isn't
Harry Muller just the cutest little
thing"
i
"Pi Goemann is training pompa
dour. He is armed with ali the neces-
sary equipment-a comb and small
mirror.
Teacher-Mr Velsey, do you under
stand this explanation?
Nelsey-Yes, sir
Teacher-Now; do the rest of the
young ladies understand it?
According to our sleuths, Rob Ca
dien seems to be spending most of his

Rosetta Dempster on the subject, but
she would not deny the report.

Rev. Montgomery's Sermon.

The head of a black headed pin
held at the ball of the eye has a dark
ening effect on the view. People in
acertain stage of development, or lack
OF development, are apt to let minor
examples of wrong-doing becloud
their whole view Of life, so that where
there are really only mole-hills they
see mountains. These are the pessi-
mlsts of life. They have wet blankets
for everything and everybody except
themselves. In these words the rec
tor Of Trinity Church referred to those
among US who have a tendency to find
fault. He harked back to the days of
undertaking years ago, when the
whole country seemed to revel in the
process of uncovering its wounds, and
exposing them to the view; when mat
ters of insurance, legislation, incor-
poration and all big business were
ruthlessly barred to the public gaze.
and exposed to the white light of dav.
Just as, if we were to probe into
this earth of uors, we would first
have to pass through a layer that is
and sepulchral before we would reach
the inner region of warmth, so in
things sociological, the layer of bad
ness and sin Is only a layer; the
underly ying fabric of the institution of
Gods humanity residing on this mote,
which we call earth, which must be-
long to God, as it is a part of His
wondrous universe (and if it doesn't
belong to Him whom does it belong
to?D, for whose care and redemp-
ton He gave His only begotten son,
and the care of which earth He gave
into the hands of us, His sons and
daughters-must be right and good.
The result of suspicion, hatred,
sin and all uncharitableness is to be
seen now in the horrible devastation
and decimation of the greatest civili-
zation which has ever been known.
Many of these same people who are
engaged so energetically in pulling
humanity to shreds are those who
pride themselves on being most cor
rect Christians, using that label on
their business cards as a foil for the
greed and fraud which they mask.

Luke McLuke Saws.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
A man is always more polite when
he is widower than he was when
he wasn't.
The men haven't made such a ter
rlble success of running the country.
But that is no reason why the women
should tackle the job.
There is difference between "au
revoir' and "good-by." When your
hair starts to go it says good by"
And don't overlook the fact that
every man is also the architect of his
own misfortune.
After you have roamed around for
while you will find that the girls
who are really fond of vocal music
are those who do not try to sing.
A girl can always catch the man
she wants by pretending to try to
catch man she doesn't want.
A million dollars worth of expert
ence isn't worth a nickel after YOU
learn it.
There wouldn't be so many breach
of promise cases if we wrote our love
lttters on postal cards
There are not many sure things in
this world But here is one of them:
A woman is always older than she
thinks she looks.
The hats the girls are wearing fit
their heads so closely that a man
wonders if the millinery stores supply
shoe horn with each bonnet.
The poet once said that men must
work and women must weep. But
the women get more fun out of weep
ing than the men get out of working.
