The Mothers
Christmas Gift

II never comes to Christmas but |
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes,
And we punched them all together,
even little baby brother
Putin the present that
we always gave to mother.
We began to talk about it very early
in December,
Twas a very serious matter to us
children, | remember,
And we used to whisper nightly our
suggestions to each other,
For by nothing cheap and tawdry
could we show our love for
mother.
Hers must be a gift Of beauty, fit to
symbolic her ways;
II must represent the sweetness and
the love that marked her days.
II must be the best our money, all
combined, had power to buy,
And be something that she longcd
for ;nothing else would satisfy.
Then it matterednot the token, once
the purchase had been made.
II was struggled home and hidden
and with other treasures laid,
And we placed our present proudly
in her lap on Christmas day,
And we smOthered her with kisses
and we laughedher tearsaway.
II never comes to Christmas but |
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes,
And the only folks ! envy are the
sisters and the brothers
Who still have thepreciOus privilege
Of buying for their mothers.

TheC hriStmaSB Bird

ID OASTED swan was the Christmas
IN piece de resistance In Chaucer's
day, but this dish gave place to
the peacock, and the peacock In its
turn was conquered by the turkey,
when Capt. John Smith, fresh from
his Vlrglnian wars, came home to tell
the amazed English folk of the bird
that he saw pnrndlng the new world
forests, "exnctly like a proud Turk
showing off before his harem."
When the peacock was In It's glory
at Chrlstmnstlde It's plumagc vas gem
ernlly restored TO the roasted bird and
It's bcak gilded. Sometimes the whole
bird was covered with gold leaf and a
strip of cotton, saturated with spirit,
set nllght In It's beak-n relic possibly,
with the English snapdragon and
blazing pudding, of the fire worship of
pagan days. A lady Of noble birth and
great beauty was always chosen to
bear the bird int. the b|nnquetlng hall.
IN the days of tournaments II was
over the peacock that the knights, with
upllfted swords, swore their oaths OF
chlvnlry and valor. The last record of
such fare seems 10 have been not upon
n Christmas, but nj the banquet given
by the duke Of Granada 90 the duke
of Clarence, nfterwurd William " Of
England.
II must be admitted that golden pea
cocks and boars' heads have most OIL.
Turing sounds TO one with n jaded ap-
petite, and the England of old, with
It's rolsterlng carol singers, seems II
most attractive land to have lived IN.
But the E%nglIshman OF today is more
than well content 10 have his carols
ung by a little cockney lad, 10 laugh
NJ the pnntomimes IN his magnificent
~ comfortable theaters and 10 feast at
home on turkey. mince pie and the
blazing pudding.

Passing Christmas

WYE all slept under the stars, as

drought from which we had been suf-

an optimist or die-ls that there were
practically no mosquitoes and very few
flies, so that the stiffness of n mos

The night was cool and silent, ex-

Then M little sleeper after another

rose higher tongues were loosened, and

ReUiUing Old Time
YuLe Customs

OPECIAL efforts are being made by
women IN many communities To
spread a revival Of the old Gus.
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago q Boston woman with q touch Of
antiquarian spirit managed to stlmu-
late Boston to revive II pretty Yule-
tide custom by celebrating us coming
by singing carols in the streets and by
Illuminating the houses through the
placing OF candles In the windows.
Other cities emulatcd Boston In this
matter. In Carlisle, Pa, n community
Christmas tree was lighted in the pub
lie squire, and It's glowing JOY was
continued all along the streets by light.
ed candles placed In the windows,
many of which showed In the middle
of the rooms 50 lighted up, displayed
to the passersby In the night, private
Christmas trees, the glitter and benuty
of which thus were shared with all.
An objection to this attempt nt glad.
ness-at lenst so far as concerns the
use of candles-hns been the risk Of
fire. But these days OF electricity or
eve of gas seem TO minimize the Idea
OF danger. and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do AWAY
with all risk In the carrying out Of
the friendly suggestion. II Is advised
therefore that "'he glndness and
brightness Of the home on Christmas
v be not kept behind closed blinds, q"
and to that end II II suggested that the
light from every window. whatever its
nature, be permitted TO shine into the
streets until midnight. The idea of
light Is associated with all that Is good
In life. The glow OF the cracking Yulc
log betokened the hospitality ready to
greet the stranger At that time, but
there was more to II than that. Light
IN days gone by was supposed to keep
off evil splrits,-Snllle Wistar In Phila-

It's Christmas
Time Again

There's a fire in the CRATE and a
light in the hall,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the sleighbells ring and the
children call,
For it's Christmas time again.
It's time for a 4 ristian land to raise
Her loudest paeans Of love and
praise
For the Holy Babe Of the Bethlehem
days,
For It's Christmas lime again.
There's a wreath Of green at the
windowpane,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the church bells echo the glad
refrain,
For its Christmas time again.
Oh, it's time to turn with the golden
smile
To the friend we doubted ard
scorned awhile,
~
To rid our hearts Of their greed and
guile!
For it's Christmas time again.

GOVERNMENT AGENTS
 - TO INSPECT BUILDINGS
Are Invested. With Full Authority and Will Take Drastic Steps Where Fire Hazards Are Found.


 Norwich will in the near future re- ceiYe a visit from inspectors invested with the authority of. the United States government to inspect any and all buildings: especially buildings, .e used for the storage of foodstuffs. expio- siyes. ammunition. etc. These inspec- tors have been loaned to the govern ment by various insurance companies, and it is. said that their inspections have nothing to do with the. insurance rates, as it is purely a government project undertaken for the purpose of providing. better protection, and sur veillance of the country's resources. As. these inspectors are invested with government authority they will. take drastic steps wherever they find a, hui1ding which does not conform with the rulings laid down by the govern ment. Any waste, rubbish or inf1am :. n1able material found in improper places insa any building will cause the owner, or these responsible, good deal of trouble when the government steps in and takes charge of the. To- cal; situation. It is said that. the in spectors are now working in New Ha- ven. The elimination of fire hazards has for years been advocated by Fire Chief Howard l.. Stanton. Elinnina- ton Of fire hazards means elimination Of conf1agration and a small fire loss.
