Chicauo's Oldest Saloon.

When the dry law went into effect
and Chicago's 5000 saloons went out
of business, it ended the career of
Chicago's oldest saloon which was es-
tablished in 1887, the same year Chi
cago was incorporated as city. Since
that time the business has passed
through the hands of family of four
generations. Indian camps were a
common sight in Chicago in those
days. The city had about 5000 inhab-
itants; to-day there are nearly 30O0,-
900 persons.

20 Little Town of Bethlehem" while
1t makes no claim to greatness, is very
lovely in its tender feeling, and is. of
course. well known and cherished.
20 little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mertals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
o morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing TO God the King
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous Gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
Inc QiSSSlfiG OI Ills HGdNSus
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls willsreceive Him
still,
The dear Christ enters in.
80 holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to US, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter IN,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
o come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel
In contrast to this is very grea'
hymn, translated from the Latin:
"Oh come, all We faithful, Joyful
and triumphant;
Oh come We, oh come we to Bethle
hem;
Come and behold Him born thu
King of angels;
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let US adore Him,
oh come. let us adore Him, Christ
the Lord.

Very God, begotten, not created;
I.ol He abhors not the Virgins womb
o come, let US adore Him, etc.

Songs of Christmas Beloved of All Poets
Il

A friend of The Patriot, with con-
siderable effort, has compiled and sent
to US the following splendid selection
of Christmas poems and carols, Sc
lection which we feel will be appreci-
ated by our readers this Christmas
and many to come.
Every season has its song, and
Christmas is especially rich in verse
Since 1850 A. d. when the first car
oil was written in Anglo-Normanl I'M
til 1919, poets of all degrees have put
forth their Christmas spirit in poems
of many words of beauty and excel
lence. Nor is it any disgrace to you
if those you like the very best, have
little excellence.
Il would be interesting 20 know
What would happen if a hundred die
ferent people We're asked to name
without deliberation their favorite
Christmas poem, hymn, or carol.
Would 1t be,
1T came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold.
Would it be,
'.Hark, the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn Kingp'
Or, perhaps,
while shepherds watched their fiocks
by night"
A lovely hymn of exquisite simple
ity comes to us out of the past and
from foreign people. 1t is, also.
very familiar:
Holy night, silent night,
All is dark, save the light
Yonder where they sweet vigil keep
Der the Child, who in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace"
The hymns and carols habitually
sung at Christmas are too we'll known
to make reproduction of them here
worth while, save as an illustration.
For that purpose two must suffice
The first, the beloved Phillip Brooks's
Putnam patriot. [volume] (Putnam, Conn.) 1872-1962, 1919-12-19

1.-The moon on the breast of the new
fallen snow
Gave the lustre of midday to objects
below,
When what to my wondering eyes
should appear,
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny
reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and
quick,
knew in moment he must be st.
Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers
they came,
And he whistled and shouted and
called them by name:
Now, nasherl now. Daneerl now,
rraneer and Nixenl
To the top Of the porch, to the top
of the wall
Now dash away! dash away dash
away. all''
O dear. @ dearl why go on with It.
The thrill of it is all in the Illusion. Ii
is a superb, an amazing poem, If one
believes in Santa Claus, but Is there
so much as babyleft that does? Al
ter four years of Christmases in the
trenches, how could we? 1t is all
quite sad. It was such good Christ
mas peem--oncel And now, ! dare
not even write the rest. If any one
feels responsive, perhaps next year, or
after few years when we begin to
get young again.
Meantime, if we cannot be jolly
with spirit and good grace, we can
at least be cultured, and give the
scope of Christmas verse, by quoting
one or two historic carols that have
become literature, and follow them
with the best of today's writings.
Perhaps the best known of the early
carols is II Saw Three Ships Come
Sailing In"
There is but one new line IN each
stanza, and yet so splendid is the reit
eratisn in its significance, and in thai
very primitive impulse of repetition
that it is great and perfect whole
IL you would taste its beauty you
must read every stanza, complete
modelling them after the first three
which are enough to show the form OF
the carol.
Putnam patriot. [volume] (Putnam, Conn.) 1872-1962, 1919-12-19

Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above
Glory to God in the highest.
Oh come, let us adore Him, etc.
Yea. Lord we greet Thee, born
this happy morning;
Jesu, to Thee be glory given,
Word of the Father, now in flesh APP
pearing;
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come, let us adore Him,
Oh come. let us adore Him, Christ the
Lord"
There is another hymn of great dig
nifty and beauty, purely English in its
origin. written in the first years of the
last century: Bishop Heber's beauti-
full
Brightest ard Best of the Suns of the
Morning
brightest and best of the sons of the
morning.
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us
thine aid,
Star of the East, the horizon adon-
ing,
Guide where our Infant Redeemer
is laid
Gold on His cradle the dew drops are
shining,
Low lies His head with the beasts
of the stall;
Angels adore Him in slumber reelln-
ing,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour
of all
"Vainly we offer each ample oblation
Vainly with gifts would His favor
secure:
Richer by far is the hearts adora-
ton;
Dearer to God are the prayers OF
the poor"
A song of an earlier generation
that is comparable to Phillip Brooks's
much beloved hymn, was written by
Josiah G. Holland, writer of dis
tinction in his day, and the first editor
of The Century Magazine.
There's Song In the Air
There's song in the air.
There's a star i'll the sky!
There's mothers deep prayer,
And baby's low cry!

The ounintncss of these carols make
them very interesting, and the quail
ity IL etesling, rugged, materialistic
praise and alteration puts to shame
our more cautious utterances. One
would like to give many more of them.
In England. when once the cole
bration Of Christmas was established,
IL was carried on for twelve days until
Twelfth Night ushered in the Epiph-
any. Beside all celebration there was
much that was secular. An interest,"

A Visit From St. Nicholas

"'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even
mouse;
The stockings were hung in the CHM
ney with care,
IN hopes that st. Nicholas soon
veul1 be there:
The children were nestled all snug IN
fhei beds.
While visions of sugar plums danced
through their heads;
And mamma in her kerchief, and 1
in my cap
Had just settled ourselves Tor long
winters nap,
When out on the lawn there arose
such a elatter,
sprang from my bed to see what
was the matter.
Away to the window | flew like a
flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up
the SASH
This is about as far as child ever
goes in this poem, and it IS not thor
oughly satisfactory anyway. know
one child who was vastly irritated by
sfor long winters nap" By what
ight could any portion of nights
sleep be called "a nap" an institution
utterly and most annoyingly for at
ternoons?
Yet the poem gets rather better
from here on for awhile.

And the star rains its fire,
While the beautiful sin
For the manger of Bethlehem
Cradles a King.
Jesus is King, yes Jesus is King:
The naanger of Bethlehem cradles a
King.
There's a tumult of JOY
Ger the wonderful birth
For the Virgins sweet boy
Is the Lord of the earth.
Az, the star rains its fire
While the beautiful sing,
For the manager of Bethlehem
Cradles a King"

least part of most out-of-date, be-
quite delightful poem that always

WE FEEL BETTER NOW

After all, those of us who were somewhat doubtful about the legality of the act of our ter
 ritorial legislature, whereby the territory col lected hansome sum of money from canneries and fishing industry in general win feel at ease now that the United States Supreme Court decid ed that the act was legal. From now on. we can expect clear sailing through the big packers pile of revenue from that source. The next thing we hear will be that the legislature has demand ed the big packers entire revenue, besides sell. ing them the privilege of spending their money in Alaska. There is no use of talking, we have them lover barrel.' Anyhow, we feel better now We won't have to 'blow back' as the big fishing interests had expected we would. and that helps some It would be well for the lawmakers to tax them extra this year in order to give us the necessary fund with which to build school house: a recreation park and a nice drive to 1t.

LEST WE FORGET

The time for election of a mayor, three council men and member of the school board, will soon be here. In order to have voice in the selection of these men or women, have to register. Like ''Shop early about Christmas" we should register early in case later something should prevent us, and thus deprive Us of the privilege of having a voice in the selection of candidates, and for the same reason we shall have no voice or should not have-in the management of the community,s affairs. In local affairs, every voter should take an interest, because what may affect one will affect all. Under good, safe man. agement of public interests, if the town prospers we shall all benefit and the reverse applies with equal force. As we have 10 saloon to fight this year, there can be no cause for adj vision into factions and we should join in selecting pro- gressive practical men, No wild theories should be introduced. While we should be progressive, we should be so conservatiyeiy. So far as we are personally concerned, we are willing that other communities try theories. we prefer the knowledge acquired by experience.

THE ONLY SYSTEM

Yesterday, dispatches told Us that Premier Paderewski of Poland wanted large army with which to deal with the anarchists infesting his country. That bullets and not bibles would have to he used to make them bei,ave. Obviously that is the only system. Arguments avail no- thing because they want every thing their own way: and they stop at nothing to overcome whatever objection they find. They were pat termed after Kaiser Bill only not so cunning, but their aim is the same-blo0d
 That class of degenerates are found every where, and we believe we have them even in our midst. They may not he as bold perhaps here as some places We hear about; but their aoitation for what they call reform is nothing short of arbitrary notions that cannot fail to bring cahoes in a community well satisfied with peace. Those agitators are,to all intent ind purposes. bolshe- vists reaching fast fer the next step-anarchists Good red-blooded Americans will not stand for much more of that work as was carried on in Seattle recently. They will put aside their pray CT books and go at them ia the style advocated by Paderewski.

It is wonder to the patriotic Alaskan how any man can stand up in the streets of Seattle and call for cheers for the bolshevist and l. w. W. movements and escape hanging to the nearest Iamp-post as an arch traitor to his country and bae. A law should be passed promptly deporting all persons sympathizing with these movements. Americans have no use for such cattle, and the first man who provides necktie for speakers publicly expressing such sentiments should be awarded medal from the government. Men who preach anarchy and revolt have no com pIaint to maqe if they are handled by the me thods they profess to admire.-Valdez Miner
