AN OLD MANS CHRISTMAS


Like dream it all comes to me
AS l hear the Christmas bells.
Like a dream it floats before me.
And the Christmas anthem swells!
Like dream it bears me onward
In a simple, rustic glow:
And it seems / see the children
OF that happy long ago!
Yes; l see the rudy faces
OF the children long ago,
AS they gathered round the fireside
In the bright and shining glow.
l can hear their little footsteps
AS the three descend the stair;
And the sweetness of their voices
Softly floats upon the air!
l can see them as their mother
Takes their presents from the tree
They put forth their hands to grasp
them
And they laugh and chat in glee!
But those little ones will never
See again such happy days
AS they did upon that Christmas,
With their mothers love and praise!
For many years she has been waiting
AS she lies beneath the snow,
To meet those little ones in heaven,
That she loved SO long ago!
How my memories now flow backward
AS | hear the bells loud chime,
And ! wish l was child again
AS they were that Christmas time!
Yes: i wish | could live over
All those Christmas days gone past;
Telling that no pain or sorrow
Could e'er mar my soul Alas!
But those Christmas days gone DER
Never will return again,
Bringing either pain or sorrow,
Or those who on earth have been!
So when the Angel Death does come
And bears me beyond the skies,
l know that l will meet them there
For they dwell in Paradise

More Comment About
Removal of Chief Irwin

The following paragraphs are taken
from the Political Gossip" in the
Baltimore Sunday News:
what about Irwin?
''He was fired as Police Marshal by
the Commissioners OF Anne Arundel
and the Commissioner who fired him
saws it's all political scrap That
phase of the situation was generally
recognized but the confirmation of it
by the man who did the firing is in
teresting
irwin is charged by him with being
TOO close to Jack Flood and with
displaying more zeal in getting some
Offenders than in getting others, The
charge made by irwin is that the
Commissioner tried to protect those
he wanted to get, inviting him to get
other places up the road
Jack Flood is no longer in busl-
ness The other fellows. are. Hence
Irwin's relations with Flood must ne
cessarily be personal, while his do
ings with those who violate laws are
Official. Hence Irwin's position would
seem 10 be the better one even If the
Commissioners charge is correct
