No Paper Next Week.

In accordance with long established
custom, no paper will be issued from this
office next week, as all hands will take
holiday. This is an ancient habit OF the
Register, but one that we heartily approve
of, even if il does seem unprogressive.
Although no paper will be printed, we
will keep our office open, for perhaps if
may be the desire of some OF our patrons
to come in and pay their bills, and we
should not like to deprive them of this
pleasure. We wish for all our readers a
merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
and hope that they viii greet the Register
with renewed appreciation on January
9th.

Herman Stader, a section foreman on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Con-
nellsvilIe, Pa, noticed that recently one
of the foreigners in his gang was having
rabbit on his dinner menu pretty nearly
every day. Cold fried rabbit didn't look
bad to Hermann, so he told "Jotn" to
bring him some the next day. "Jotn"
said he would, and kept his word. Her
mann ate with relish, but curious as TO
where his employee was getting rabbit
whenever his appetite craved it, question:
ed him. "Oh, that's easy," said "Jotn. "

night. He 60 meow, meow and then
me 90 out and shoot him."

POETRY
A MOTHER OF SORROWS.

0, yesterday had three sons,
 No better sons could be: And yester morn they rose content,
 Today they're gone from me For sudden as they bent at work
 There came a. bugle crying, Rise LID rise up, for England's life
 Must England's men be dying. And John has left the plough in field,
 And James has left his book, And Will has thrown his brushes down
 Without q backward look, And each has gone a-narChing
 With a strange light in his face, For there's something left to die Tor,
 And the worlds a glorious place. With hearts as light as lover lads
 Who serve lady fair, They've gone a-marching down the
 road
 That leads they know not where Each one his life within his hands,
 Will fling it like a flower At EngIaud's feet, to make or break,
 Or Wither in an hour. o. Mary mother. long ago,
 Thy son went forth from thee. To take the hard and bitter road That led to Calvary. Thou wilt forgive my wildeTed prayer Since greater grief have 1, Who for some good I cannot see Must give three sons to die. Ottawa

 It Is not a price cutting war invol- Ytng manufacturers, either Rather 1t is said to be an effort on the part of the tire men to protect the consumer from concerns which slash prices in discriminatory so that the buyer is puzzled to know whether he is getting the best or the worst of it.

 business as it will encourage those
 prospects, who have been somewhat
 backward in coming forward because of fear of tire expense. One dealer
