n1Sner.
Suddenly one of the sparks began
To flicker and glimmer and wink
Like a big, bright eye till I hardly
knew
What to do or to say or to think.
Quick as a flash it changed to face,
And what in the world did 7 see
But dear old Santa Claus nodding
his head
And waving his hand to me!
ooh, follow me, follow mel" soft he
cried,
And up through the chimney with
him
I mounted, not daring to utter q
word
Till we stood on the chimney's
rim.
CHOW, tell me, I beg you, dear
Santa Claus,
Where am I going with you?"
He laughingly answered: why,
don't you know?
To travel the wide world through.
"From the crystal palace, far in the
north,
have come since dark, and see
These curious things for the little
folk
Who live on the Zuyder Zee"
Then, seating himself in his rein
deer sledge
And drawing me down by his side,
He whistled, and off on the wings
of the wind
We flew for a midnight ride.
But first such comical presents he
left
For the little Dutch girls and
boys
Onions and sausages, wooden faced
dolls,
Cheese and gingerbread toys,
Soldiers that marched at the word
of command,
Necklaces, bracelets and rings,
Tiny gold watches, all studded with
gems,
And hundreds of exquisite things.
Straight to America then, where I,
Perehed on a chimney high,
Watched him scramble and hustle
about
Between the earth and sky.
Many a stocking he filled to the
brim,
And numberless Christmas trees
Burst into bloom at his magical
touch.
Then all of a sudden a breeze
Caught US and bore away to the
@outh
And afterward blew us out west,
And never till dawn peeped over the
hills
Did we stop for a moments rest.
Christmas is coming" he whis
pered to me.
"You can see his smile in the sky
I wish merry Christmas to all thu
world.
My work is over. Goodby!"
Like fash he was gone, and I wa
alone, ~..
For all of this happened to me
Once on a time in queer LITTLE
town 80.
On the shore of the Zuyder Zee.
"Who Gave Us Christmas Day?"
happy, happy Christmas
Be yours todayl
Oh. not the failing measure
OF feeting earthly pleasure,
But Christmas Joy abiding,
! While years are swiftly gliding.
Be yours, I pray.

VIOLA
OBITUARY OF HAZEL MILLER

Our community was saddened Sat
uruay 10 hear of the passing away of
Hazel Miller. at her home in Viola at
1870 a. m, after long period of pa
tient suffering.
Hazel Miller. daughter of J. f. Mil
Ter, and Celia Miller. deceased was
born Aug. 20, 1892, in Viola town
ship, and died February 5, 1916 at
the age of "a years, ) months and / 3
days. She lived her short, but beauti-
full life in the same home where she
was born. Her mother died when she
was but IL years old, leaving eight
children motherless, Hazel being the
second daughter. Her life from then
until sickness compelled her to rest,
was one of loving work and sacrifice
to help her father, brothers and sis
tiers. After finishing her education
in the Audubon public schools, she
was constantly at home administering
to the needs of the samiiy. About
TWO and one-half years ago, she be-
came afflicted with rare and fatal
disease. Everything possible was done
TO restore her to health, She was at
Rochester for some time and many
other places, in search of relief, but
nothing availed. All through her in
tense suffering she was very patient
and cheerful, always thinking first
of the rest of the family to whom she
was very devoted.
To know Hazel was to love her,
and her beautiful life and lovely char
acter will long be an inspiration to
those who know her best.
She was converted and joined the
M. E. church at Viola at the age of
twelve years, and attended church
regularly whenever her health would
permit and lived true Christian life.
AS the end drew near, she grew re-
signed to the parting from earthly
friends, though expressing a desire,to
remain with them if the Lord was
willing. and told her sorrowing and
broken hearted relatives she was
ready to go and would see her mother
and tell her how they all were.
Hopes untitled have vexed her breast
Sad smiles have checked the rising
sigh
Until her weary heart confessed
Reluctantly, that she must die;
And she had thought of all the ties
The golden ties-that bind her
here;
or all that she has learned to prize,
OF all that she had counted dear.
The joys of body, heart and mind,
The pleasures that she loved so
we'll.
The grasp of friendship warm and
kind,
And loves delicious, hallowed spell.
And she has prayed. if it might be
Within the reach of human skill,
and not averse TO Heaven, that she
Might live little longer still.
But earthly hope is gone, and now,
Comes in its place brighter beam
Leaving upon her snowy brow
The impress of heavenly dream.
That she, when her frail body yields
And fades away to mortal eyes,
Shall burst through Heavens eternal
fields
And bloom again in Paradise.
She leaves to mourn her early de-
parture, her father. j. r. Miller, four
