chances, no Democrat has been elect

exception of Woodrow Wilson, since
1856, and conditions were most un-
usual in 1916. when Wilson was elect

you that there is a great difference
in snow-that is, there is a great diff
ference between country snow and
city snow.
We may not have snow this Christ
mas, but We'll just suppose we do.
Isn't a good, old lively snowstorm
great? Perhaps it is one of these lazy
snowstorms, with the big, white flakes
just floating down like feathers and
slowly turning the roads and roofs to
white, like coat of good white paint.
Maybe there will be enough of it to
make good coasting on the hills and
good Sleighing on the roads.
And, by the way, do you know
there are boys in the big cities who
have never seen a sleigh? Because a
sleigh is getting to be a scarce article
in the cities. You see, as soon as a
little snow comes the street-cleaning
department gets busy and sweeps it
up, before it gets a chance to melt
into slush.
In the country the winter wheat
needs it, and the ground takes care of
it. But in the city it just means sop
and slush. SO they sweep it up and
carry it away and uncover the ugly
pavement as soon as they can.
But they let you keep your snow in
the country. When a warm wind
comes along it will pack fine, and you
can have your snow-men, and your
snow forts, and your SNOWFALL battles.
(Only please don't use your artillery
on older folks, or girls, or me)
Or perhaps this snOwstorm is one
of the blizzardy kind, with the wind

the only bath many take during the
whole year.
In some places old-fashioned ways
still exist. Young men often paint or
blacken their faces, put queer crowns

stars on their breasts, and generally
carry long wooden swords. One man

has been brought for the purpose on

east just as the sun god rises. 1t is
then cut into two or three pieces. The
first chip that falls is brought home

cake Of unleavened flour, called poga-

The day passes in preparation for
the feast the following day. At sun
set one Of the men, fitted out with
new wooden gloves, brings in the log.
