F.irs for Christmas Trees

Most of the tinsel-covered trees that are
set up each Christmas season in the homes
of Boston, New York and Philadelphia, it
has been found, are balsam frs, and many
of the selected specimens are even shipped
comparatively long distances from their
places of growth to Chicago and the cities
of the middle West.
While the Balsam fir is popular as a
Christmas tree on account of its symmetri-
cal and practically perfect conical shape,
it is in growing demand for variety of
uses. Its white, straight-grained wood
has come to be used more and more in the
manufacture of toys that hang from the
branches of its younger fellows and from
the branches of the other evergreens that
are widely used in many parts of the
country.
The wood of the balsam fir is used to
large extent, also, in the manufacture of
excelsior, of which thousands of tons are
used each holiday season for the packing
OF gifts that are sent by express and mail.
The balsam fir is the source, too, of the
wood from which are made many of the
food containers, such as fruit baskets and
butter boxes, in which materials for the
Christmas dinner are brought to the mar
ket, the tastelessness of the wood making
it unsurpassed for such uses. Finally, the
balsam fir is being increasely used for the
manufacture of paper, and this, wrapped
around thousands of holiday packages,
adds still another chapter to the list of
the trees almost indispensable usefulness
as factor in Christmas observances.,

Felicity of the Flat DWeller

If existing as hatter
You are conscious of a matter
Which is causing much rejoicing in such
places.
There's difference in the at
mosphere; the temperatures
like Patmos,
And the mercury is prancing through its
PAGES.
Every rubber plant is stretching,
The mosquito now is fetching
Out his weapons for supplementary

While each corpulent canary
Pipes a march tune military;
And it is not difficult to guess the reason.
On arising in the morning
Those chill shivers die a-borning
While the bathrooms almost tropic in its
greeting,
And your customary frolic
When the infant has the collie
Isn't frigid-nay, in fact it's sometimes
heating!
There's an odor like dozen
Warm hatirons, and buzzin'
As from hiving bees on hedges of Hymetu:
It's the radiators sizzle!
Steam has started in to mizzle.
Well be happy-if the janitor will let us

WHEN MA IS SICK

WHEN MA IS SICK
When Ma is sick, she pegs away;
She's quiet though, not much to say;
She goes right on a-doin' things,
And sometimes laughs, or even sings.
She says she don't feel extra well,
But then it's just kind O. spell.
She'll be all right tomorrow, sure,
A good old sleep will be the cure.
An Pa he shifts an makes no kick,
For women folks is always sick.
An Ma, she smiles, let's on she's glad
When Ma is sick it amt so bad.
WHEN PA Is SICK
When Pa is sick he's scared to death,
An Ma an us just holds our breath;
He crawls in bed, an pufs and grunts
And does all kinds of crazy stunts.
He wants "Doc" Brown, an mighty quick
For when Pas i'll he's awful sick,
He gasps an groans, an sort O sighs,
He talks so queer, an rolls his eyes.
Ma jumps an runs, an all of us,
An all the house is in fuss.
An peace an joy is mighty skeerce-
When Pa is sick it's something fierce.

Christmas Tide in Ireland

Oh, do we mind, at Christmas, how happy
we would be
In the dear old land of Erin, that we
never more shall see,
With frost upon the window-panes and
rime upon the grass,
And the boys and girls together on the
way to Midnight Mass?
And do ye mind the chapel in the shadow
of the hill,
With the candles burning brightly and
when the throngin' crowds so still
All reverent on bended knees; and when
the Mass was done,
Dear Father Dams (Heaven rest his soul)
"God bless ye, every one"
And do ye mind the gatherin's there'd be
on Christmas night,
And goin' home across the fields in the
frosty, starry light?
Then, latched the door, and raked the fire
before we went to bed
Beneath each blessed cottage roof the
Rosary was said.
All! well do ye mind it all-God knows
the heart cannot forget!
This is kindly land, but take no shame
that eyes are wet
When we think of all the pleasant days
we never more shall know
Of the dear old-fashioned Christmas-tids
in Ireland long ago!

The Thread and Needle Tree

/ While I was riding through the San
Gabriel Canon in southern California not
long ago, writes contributor, noticed
that my saddle blanket was badly torn.
Not having a pack needle and thread, l
decided to put into practice an expedient
that 1 had learned from the Mohave In
dians-to use the leaves of the Spanish
bayonet, or yucca. Dropping off my horse
beside yucca, gingerly grasped one of
the spiny-tipped leaves and slit it down
to where it joined the central trunk.
Crumbling the fbres in my hands, 1
worked out strand of tough thread,
which l firmly attached to needle-like
spine capable of penetrating tough can
vas, or even leather. With this i'm
provised needle and thread rsoon mended
my saddle blanket and resumed my jour
ney.
The yucca of the southwestern part of
the United States is one of the most use
full and beautiful desert plants. For the
first few years of its growth it forms an
almost perfect sphere; its size depends on
the character of the soil and the amount
of rainfall. When the plant attains suf-
fcient growth, slender stalk shoots up
from the centre to height of ten or ff-
teen feet and terminates in a generous
| shower of exquisite, wax-like blossoms.
In the spring, the hillsides and canon
walls of southern California and northern
Mexico are made beautiful by these mag
niicent tree flowers. Their fragrance is
almost overpowering. The early mission
fathers called the Spanish bayonet ''the
Lords candlestick."
The fruit of the yucca is a variety of
date. 1t ripens in August and September,
| and in days gone by used to be an impor-
| tant addition to the meagre diet of the
desert Indians.
Without the aid of a small, night-Aying
moth there would be no stately yuccas.
This tiny moth is no larger than the COM
mon house fly, and is called the "yucca
fertilizer" 1t lays its eggs by boring
into the stalk of the plant and afterwards
ascends to the flowers, carrying pollen
that it has gathered from other yucca
blooms. In that way it fertilizes the
plant and causes it to bear fruit, upon
which the little moths feed when they
hatch out few months later.
The strong, long fibre of the yucca
makes splendid twine and cordage. The
Indians use it in basket making. When
the yucca stalk first springs upward-and
it grows many inches day-the succulent
shoot makes good food; sliced and fried,
it resembles eggplant. The fruit, as i
have said already, is edible, and rather
appetising. The root, when pounded
makes an excellent soap, which the early
Spaniards called amole. The yucca even
did its bit in the recent war, for the light
and tough wood of the trunk was used
extensively for splints in the surgical
wards of military hospitals.

Merry Christmas

By the time you receive this copy of
The MIRROR, we will have entered upon
the threshold of that greatest of all holi-
days, Christmas day! The day heralded
everywhere as typical of the day on
which the Saviour was born. While, with
later day environment in which fetes of
julbilation, gift-giving, and merry making
vary in some measure to the old time cele-
brations-we celebrate none the less too,
and as Christians all, awake with that re-
ligious fervor that makes the whole world
ring to heaven with glad tidings of great
joy, as each year we pass the anniversary
will truly give abundance of enthused
evidence. Christmas day is none the less
celebrated here in prison, for we are all
made aware of the good cheer and kindly
feelings from the outer circle for our in
dividual as well as collective welfare. At
any rate we should be far from un-
happy altogether for there's still sunshine
and hope and heaps of good will that the
future will have in store, so here goes
again, Merry Christmas!

Dec. 21, the shortest day of the year,
is past and gone and "from now on" the
days will gradually lengthen to more and
more of daylight-and eventually s'more
ball games.
The MIRROR by permission of the
management, presents each inmate with a

in Christmas letters provided nothing is
written thereon.
Sixty boxes of rosy red frozen ap-
Piles were received by the stewards de-
partment last week. They were re-
placed by good ones, however, in time
for the Christmas dinner.
The auditorium is being lined with
sound deadening felt by crew of men,
under the direction of an expert. This
is to do away with echoes that have, been
troublesome ever since the auditorium was
first built.
The Suffolk school for boys at Rains
ford Island, Boston, issue ordinarily each
month, very neat, instructive and inter-
esting periodical in pamphlet form under
the caption of "The Leader" The De-
cember number is work of art for a
Christmas number, that reflects credit for
the working up of this edition with its
beautiful cover and its contents of good
healthy Christmas reading matter.
We were sorry to miss chapel SER
vices last Sunday-no fault of ours. The
contractors are not through with their
job of putting the auditorium into better
acoustic condition, and so the chapel SER
vices were dispensed with. We may not
even have the customary "Motion Picture
show Wednesday, nor on Christmas day,
for as we write this, Tuesday, it looks
doubtful, still we will hope on for fortune
may turn in our favor. Conditions or
circumstances are often unavoidable at

First Lessons in Banking

Dear Bobbie: In the Cause of Thrift
1 send Highly Moral Gift
A Model Savings Bank, affording
A means of Temporary Hoarding.
This Bank is made of Rabbits Metal
And shaped like Popocatepetl;
The Top thereof presents to view
A Slit for dropping Pennies through.
(The Chime of Pennies, clinking-clank'
ing,
Imparts the Only Joy of Banking.)
But when you wish to draw your Pence
Remembering that Violence
Is like to rouse Parental Clamor,
Forbear to smash it with Hammer,
But shake and bounce the Bank about
Until the Pennies tumble out.
And when these Faithful Walls surren'

Reluctantly your Legal Tender,
You will, 1 have a Fond Misgiving,
Expend the Whole in Wasteful Living

And he's bald as Uncle Jerry
On the head.

there amt anything to be afraid of in

"No," said Mr.. Clinch, looking straight
into the eyes of little Miss Hallam, "there
is nothing to be afraid of, in Christmas
thing unless you are afraid of it!'
"Gee!' the boy said, in tone of apol-
ogy, 81 forgot you had that feller tc

still smiling into Miss Hallam's eyes
which were suddenly bright with tears
y don't believe he's going to need very

He beckoned to a passing taxi, and
bundled the wide-eyed boy into it, and
parcels enough to have filled the good
saints biggest pack. He gave the driver
an address to which the man had GER

the lad put his head out of the door before

A half hour later, when he had helped
Miss Hallam out of another cab at the
door of the dingy apartment house where
she lived, she held out toward him a
small oddly-shaped parcel.

"You were buying-a Christmas gift

The front door of the apartment house
was making that peculiar clinking noise
which signifed that their ring at the bell
had been heard upstairs, and that the
latch was being opened.

Little Miss Hallam looked up into hi.

at all. Instead, there was a glad, won

"Why, yes, do come" she said, edo

She fed inside the clicking door, and
Mr.. Clinch returned to his cab. On the
way across the pavement he bumped into

was the first to smile and to say:

Motion Picture Show

Comedy had full sway again at the
"Movies," Wednesday, December, II, and
of course it tickled the fans immensely.
We say fans, for we are all mostly, we
venture, given to enjoying anything that
has a touch of humor and especially on
occasions for a change when the Mack
Sennett players, Fatty Arbuckle, Douglas
Fairbanks and others see fit to drop in on
us. The Mack-Sennett players furnished
us with two reel opening hourisher en-
titled, "It Pays to Exercise" that pre-
sented all the usual good talent for going
through some of the most wonderful and
laughable stunts possible to make up.
Some excellent interpretations were
shown in a reel of Red Cross educational
pictures depicting @"The Greatest Gift"
which all served of biblical features to
remind us of the duty it behooves us to
help in some measure the great humani-
tartan struggle the"Red Cross" is engaged
in to give help and succor to unfortunates
everywhere.
