May every friend OF yours be true,
May every sky above be blue.
As blue as lis that held divine
Wherein your stars of glory shine.
Today some give their blood 10 shed
To tint your stripes a deeper red,
And some bring gifts of courage rare
To keep YOU fine and splendid there.
Ny Christmas gift must be to you
AIy hearts devotion, through and

God grant that men shall never see
The day when you must cease to be-
That never strong or cunning foe
At you shall strike a deadly blow!
May children's laughter and their
song
OF gladness as you pass along,
BE yours 10 hear: may mothers fair
Rejoice to see you dancing there.
May all men. under Gods great sky,
Bareheaded stand as you go by,
And when these days of care are
DER,
May every JOY be yours once more!

For you a Merry Christmas DAY."

How Animals Feed,

The squirrel carries it food in its
mouth by means of its paws, while the
elephant uses its trunk. The giraffe,
anteater and toad employ their
tongues, but spiders masticate their
food with horny Jaws.
The caterpillar is provided with saw
edged jaws, and uses them so well that
every day he consumes Mt last three
times his own weight in food. Toads,
turtles and tortoises do not possess
teeth.
Frogs have only an upper row of
teeth, and Holsters and crabs have q set
Of teeth in their stomachs. The tiger
and lion do not grind their food; as
matter of fact, their teeth only worl,
with an up-and-down movement, much
like chopping knives.-Minneapoli

WAYS OF SUMMER BoARDERs
They Are Usually Very Witty Persons
Who Make comicaI Remarks to
the Farmer.

Summer borders are people who
spend several weeks in the country
each summer longing for trip home.
They are usually very witty persons
and make comical remarks to the farm
er. Aside from the board they pay
him the farmer cleans up tidy sum
each summer sending the things his
boarders say to the comic weeklies. A
summer boarder can merely look at a
COW and quick as wink he will say
something funny. The farmer puts
this down in book he always carries
around with him. In the course of a
couple of weeks he has several pages
of good jokes to sell at his own rates,
says the Philadelphia Star.
If you board with a farmer this sum-
mer say some funny things to him
about the cows or the pigs. If he
keeps horse always poke fun at his
horse. He will laugh at the funny
things you say. Then he will go in and
open up a can of fresh country peas
out of his own cellar so that when you
go back to the city you will miss the
country vegetables. When you leave
be sure and tell him how you enjoyed
the country eating so that he can laugh
some more.
