DRY of Merle d. Hay, Glidden, la.
Farewell, Merle; oh, how you
loved us;
But you loved your country more.
and you gave your life to free us,
What, oh what, could you give
more?
Twas for honor, love and justice,
For the nations liberty,
That you left your home and
country!
And to die acro. the sea.
just upon the brink of manhood,
When the nation called for men.
You We're Glidden's greatest hero,
Merle, you have not died in vain
How those Tcutons crept upon
you,
In a trench a faultless man.
Merle, your soul shall live forever
In that great eternal span.
Far in France today you're sleeps
ing,
Merle, your face we'll see nc
more.
All the nation holds you sacred,
Fill we meet to part no more.
Now We'll turn our thoughts III
others,
Who are fighting day by day,
In those far-off foreign countries
In those trenches far away.

The Meaning of the
Christmas Lights

HE candles on the Christmas tree
have brighter meaning than
mere gayety. Primarily they sig
nifty the Light that came into the
world. THAT was the true Light that
lighteth every man that cometh into
the world" wrote st. John in the first
chapter of his Gospel, says the New
York Evening Sum-.
Today the small, popular .bayberry
candle is vers likely deduced from the
Christmas candles that were burned
in England from dawn till evening to
safeguard from all evil the house dur
ing the year to come, and these can
dies, again, were lineal descendants
of the great Yules candle placed to
light the monster feast provided for
the unusual appetites some people fan
cied than, as now, due on the 10Th Of
December.
Not often possible in city homes of
the present day are Yule logs but
sometimes In the country this custom
of Scandinavian source is still carried
out, though probably no one dreams it
TO be a relic of the bonfires kindled for
Thor in Yule rites.
1t is doubtful IL partakers of Christ
mas buildings are conscious that the
buildings are symbolic of the rich gifts
of the Magi to the Christ child, while
emblems of the manager are mince pies,
for these We're first made in the form
of Bethlehem's cradle.

Let Joy Reign at Yule!
Cast Out Dull Care!

T EFT joy reign! Let care go to the
dogs Throw forebodings to the
windsl Christmas comes but once
year. Let the young folks enjoy 1t to
the full Let the old folks stop their
croaking about rheumatism for that
day at least, and remember the time
when they, too, were young and could
dance with tie merriest
And let the little stockings be filled,
and let us all bear with equanimity
the blowing on toy trumpets and the
footing on mouth organs and drum
ming on sixpenny-halfpenny drums
And so the years go on, and one
Christmas follows another, and we eat
and drink and are merry. We greet
our friends, and we part with them,
and our lives march along and through
faith in the sacrifice which our Christ
mas day commentaries we look for
ward to more perfect Christmas,
when the guests shall gather in the
fathers house.

Cards at Christmas

During the reign of Henry VII, a
statute was passed prohibiting card
playing. except at Christmas. 1t was
a universal custom to play cards at
Christmas. Persons who never played
at any other time felt bound to do SO
at this season. The practice had even
the sanction of the law
