The Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the
house.
Not a stirring. a mouse;
The stockings hung by the chimney with care
In hope that St. Nicholas would be there.
The children nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of sugar. pums danced through their heads
And Mamma in her kerchef and in my cap
Had just settled brains for long winters nap.
When out on the lawn such catter.
| sprang from my bed 30 what the matter.
Away to the window flew like fash
Tore open the shutters and threw up the SASH
The o the breath of the new fallen snow
Gave lustre like midday to objects below;
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver lively and quick
knew in a moment it be ST. NickI
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came.
And he whsted and shouted and called them by name;
Now Dasherl now Dancerl now, Prancerl now Vixen
On Cometl on, Cupidl on Dundcr and Blitzenl-.
To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall
Now dash away dash away, dash away alr'
AS dry leaves that before the wild hurricane 1y
When they with obstacle the sky,
To the housetop the they flew
With the sleigh full of toys and ST. Nicholas
! And then in a twinkling heard the roof
The prancing and paving of each little hoof
AS drew in my head and turning around,
! Down the chimney ST. Nicholas with bound
\ He dressed all in fur from head to his foot
And his clothes all arnshed with ashes and SCOT;
bundle of toys he had flung his back.
His eyes how they tvinkledl his dmples how merryI
His cheeks like roses, his like a cherry,
His drol little mouth drawn up like a bow,
3 And the beard on his chin white the
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
S And the smoke it encrcled his head like wreath
1 He had broad face, and little round belly
That shook when he laughed like bowl full of jelly
n He was chubby and plump right Jolly old elf
< And laughed when saw him in spite of myself
A wink of his eye and a twist of bis head,
Y Soon gave to know had nothing dread.
4 He spoke a word but straight to his work.
d And filled all the stockings; then turned with jerk
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
\ And giving nod, up the chimney he rose.
\ He sprang his sleigh. to his gave a whistle;
And away they all flew like the down of thistle;

DEALERS HOPE
 LIQUORS WILL
 AGAIN BE SOLD
Uy Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.-Holders of liquor licenses in Los Angeles evi. dently are hoping that somehow, sometime, something may happen to make the city legally wet, or damp. This was indicated here when ninety nine holders of permits asked that these be renewed for one year, be- ginning July 1.
 Their applications were granted by the board of police commissioners, but it is said the action is only a formality. It serves to maintain the legal rights to the licenses should the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act be declared void. No fees are charged the licensees for holding the papers.
 Of the total. thirty-six were whole sale dealers, in times past, and the remaining permits are held by own CTS of restaurants and cafes.

PORT MAY BECOME
 GREAT OIL CENTER

(By International News Service)
 LONDON, Aug. 9.-Swansea. one time leading coal port in the United Kingdom, is likely to develop into the greatest oil port of the country.
 Already facilities have been made for supplying fuel to reconverted oil burning warships, besides the rapid, ly growing fleet of British and for. eign oil-burning vessels.
 The Anglo.Persian Oil Company has sunk $4O,OOO,OOO into this new venture, and 1t has a large measure of support from the British govern ment.
 The crude oil is unloaded at Swan, sea and pumped through pipes under. ground to refineries, which are situa. ated in a new town which has been built on the outskirts of the city. After treatment the oil is returned by the same way for distribution.
 Huge storage tanks have been erected and wharves constructed where three vessels can load and dis. charge simultaneously.
 When the scheme is developed and extended six or seven vessels are ex. pected weekly with crude oil cargoes
 Although large sums are in the ex pertinent it is stated that the ven. ture is only yet in it's infancy, and that in few years Swansea will be offering serious competition to Amer ican oil companies.
