NOT THE EXPECTED CAROLERS
Youngster Merely Mistook Duices
Voice of Domestic Animal for the
Music Looked For.

She had placed a lighted candle IN
the window because the Instructions
said to do just that thing. A lighted
candle on Christmas eve would notify
the carOlers that music was desired
md they would stop to sing. 1t was
all quite simple. SO the candle burned
ever so brightly while the members or
the family were busily engaged IN in
specting Christmas presents and wait
ing for the community singers.
Finally the little boy began to play
on his toy piano and there was consid-
cradle noise in the house. Above the
din, however there came sound from
out of doors.
Listen, mother" one of the children
insisted, make baby be quiet. Don't
you hear the Christmas carols?"
Suddenly all was silent-that is, all
was silent with the exception of the
neighbours cat. Apparently it was sing
ing something in German. At any rate
the little boy went on playing his piano
and the carolers never did appear.

Sheppard Amendment Ratified

After Submission.
War Is Given Credit for Fastening
Adoption of Prohbition-Cam-
paicn Carried on for
Years.

The country has hardly awakened
yet to the realization of the fact that
It has voted itself dry. The ratifica-
ton of the Sheppard amendment to
the federal Constitution, prohibiting
the manufacture or sale of intOXicat-
ing liquors. came so suddenly, after
more than half century of battle.
when the cause of the PrOhibitionists
many times seemed almost hopeless,
that even the leaders of the dry move
ment have difficulty in realizing that,
so far as can be foreseen now. their
fight has been won.
There has been nothing in the his
tory of the prohibition movement to
indicate that victory for the cause
would come with such swiftness, once
congress had been induced to submit
the proposed amendment to q vote of
the states. Because of the difficulty
with which changes in the federal
Constitution are secured it was not an
ticipated that ratification could be Sc
cured by the necessary thirty-six
states within less than two or three
