Chriasmas Iono Drawn Out.

It has become the custom to imagine
that every ceremony connected with
the Christmas holidays in old England
was observed on the holiday itself.
Nothing could be further from the real
facts. 1t should be remembered that
in England of old. and to some extent
even in industrial England of today,
Christmas does not refer only to the
holiday itself. but to the twelve days
and nights Immediately following the
feast of the Nativity. 1t would easily
be discovered by anybody who took
the trouble to give few moments
thought to the subject that it would
be nigh physically impossible to fol
low all the ceremonials and customs
connected with the Christmas season
on one day.

THE CHRISTMAS STORY.
It's All Real to Bobby Boy, Who'd Like
to Ride With Santa Claus.

Bobby Boy was sitting IN his wee
brown chair so close to the great bunch
Of Christmas holly that he could
stretch out his fingers and touch the
shiny red berries whenever he wanted
to make believe that he was far away
In the great forest In Santa Claus land.
He had only to close his eyes and
"shlver his shoulders" as If he were

vanish and he would be walking with

r HEAR along our street
4 Pass the minstrel throngs.
Hark! They play so sweet
On their hautboys Christmas
songs.
Let us by the fire,
Ever higher,
Sing them till the night expire.
In December ring
Every day the chimes;
Loud the glee men sing
In the streets their merry rimes.
Let us by the fire,
Ever higher,
Sing them till the night expire.
Shepherds at the grange,
Where the babe was born,
Sang with many a change
Christmas carols until morn.
Let US by the fire,
Ever higher,
Sing them till the night expire.
These good people sang
Songs devout and sweet.
While the rafters rang
There they stood with freezing
feet.
Let us by the fire,
Ever higher,
Sing them till the night expire.
Who by the flreside stands
Stamps his feet and sings,
But he who blows his hands
Not SO gay carol brings.
Let us by the fire.
Ever higher,
Sing them till the night expire.

this vocation when his carrier duties
became too heavy He was eouallv
proficient with the mandolin. banjo.
guitar and double bass.
Burris was always proud Of his no.
sition in the postal service. and but a
few days before his death asked bic
family if he could be dressed in bis
uniform and allowed to sit IN. Witha,
he was modest and seemed always can
tious not TO overstep his rights Rut de-
spite the fact that he was of a different
race there was no distinction in the
Rock Island postoffice. The bows there
in all divisions regarded Henry Burris
one Of their number in spirit as we'll as
in service. and without exception thew
were fond Of him and attached TO him
Their devotion was shown in the fact
that a delegation of postal employes
sat up with his body Saturday night.
An incident almost prophetic in its
nature, yet characteristic of Burris, oc-
Cured in connection with the banquet
given by the carrier force of the Rock
Island postoffice to Burris at the Y. NJ.

ness and efficiency. and then Carrier
Koch, in behalf of the carriers. pre-
scented Burris with a handsome travel

Burris, in replying after expressing his
appreciation and gratitude, remarked
that when a man is given a travelling
