HE NEARLY FORGOT.

The old fiddler had been rasping
away since 3 o'clock for the children's
party, and it was not till nearly 9
that he was told that they had danced
enough, that he might go into the
buffers room to get himself some sup
per, that, in short, he might go home.
But the old fiddler wanted no supper.
All he wanted was the sovereign he
had to receive for his six hours hard
work. He was a bent, threadbare,
worn, old fiddler, but when he left
the great house, his feet seemed to
spring beneath him.
With his fiddle tucked under his
arm, he set out for home, chuckling
within himself for very joy.
At the corner there was a toy shop.
1t was shut up, of course, but he
knocked at the private door, and per-
suaded the proprietor to sell him a
horse. 1t was quite a wonderful horse
made of wood, with a red saddle,
and name all complete. Then he went
home-up the long, creaking staircase
up and up, till a shrill voice greeted
him.
Did you meet Santa CLAUSE" said
the little voice.
Eyes, l met him at the corner" said
the fiddler. and he told me to give
you this"
Il thought he'd forgotten" said the
little voice, almost choked with glee.
christmas is nearly gone"
"He did nearly forget" said the old
man slyly. "But not quite. Santa
Claus never quite forgets.''
II speck," said the little voice,
Santa Claus had so many little boys
to go to, he couldn't get here any
earlier. l hope he hasn't forgotten
any other little boys"

DOS AND DON'TS WHICH WILL
WONDERFULLY AID IN DELIV-
cry OF CHRISTMAS PACKAGES.

Don't put off mailing that package
until Christmas eve.
Don't neglect to tie it properly. 1t
is handled at least five times before
it reaches it's destination.
Don't forget to write your own re-
turn address on all parcel post matter.
Don't guess at the postage and give
your friends the pleasure of paying
postage DUE
Don't plaster Red Cross stamps on
the face of packages or letters; take
care not to seal" parcel post packages
with them. 1t raises the rate.
Don't forget that little thoughtful
ness on your part can help to make
Christmas happier for Uncle Sans
men, his horses and his automobiles.
Do mail early, preferably before
December 20, writing on your pack
age: mot to be opened until Christ
mas"
Do your best to use the post Offices
in the forenoon, the earlier the better.
Do write legibly, both the address
to which you are sending the gift and
your own return address.
Do be courteous and "Christmassy''
to the post office men who serve you.
They are handling thousands of pieces
of mail matter.
Do be brief at the counter. You
keep someone else waiting if you are
loaded like an express truck, with
packages and foolish questions.

HANG UP THE BARYs STOCKING.

Hang up the baby's stocking,
Be sure you don't forget;
The dear little dimpled darling
Has never seen Christmas yet.
But I've told her all about it,
And she opened her big, blue eyes,
And I'm sure she understood it
She looked so funny and wise.
Dear! what tiny stocking!
1t doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's
Away from the frost and cold
But, then, for the baby's Christmas
1t will never do at all;
Why, Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small.
| know what we'll do for the baby
I've thought of the very best plan
I'll borrow a stocking of grandma,
The longest that ever l can;
And you'll hang it by mine, dear
mother,
Right here in the corner-so;
And write letter to Santa,
And fasten it on the toe.
Write, This is the babys stocking
That hangs in the corner here.
You never have seen her, Santa,
For she only came last year.
But she's just the blessedest baby!
And, now, before you go,
Just cram her stocking with goodies
From the top clean down to the
toe"

IRWIN AND HIS
PEPPY REVUE rs
TRIPLE-ACT HIT

All the color, dash and comedy
that goes to make up a most pre-
tentious revue, abounds brimfuI in
ION Fifth Avenue" the iple-act
feature of the Columbia bill which
lasts over New Years eve.
Charles Irwin, an amiable fell
low, the sort of a comedian you
do not quickly tire of hearing, pro-
vides the fun of the piece, with
Rose Kessner, equally capable as
a comedie- ne, and even more enjoy
able In her dances. Eddi fer
man Edith La Ros, Ethel Grayce
and Jack and June Laugh1in, are
other principles who move swiftly
in song and dance, keeping the
stepping lively: and there
is a ballet of dozen that adds to
the motion of the piece. The set
tings and costumng is beautiful
and the novel scenes, eight in
convince that the offering
is pitched right up. to the minute.
Manager Chappell could pick no
more appropriate revue for New
Years eve bill than Irwin and his
bunch of entertainers.
The supporting bill include
Cleveland & Dowry, who put over

received; Gardner & Audrey who

BREED OF TAILLESS.
SHEEP HOPED FOR
CBy Associated Press)

Lexington, Ky. July Is - A
breed Of sheep without tails some
day may be one of the exclusive
products OF Kentucky, if expert
ments which are to be undertaken
in the near future by the kentuc-
ky Agricultural Experiment. Sta
ton runs true to form. The sta
ton has purchased a tailless eve
from ]. w. Mattingly, of Marion
county and will breed the freaL
to a tailless ram obtained from {;
northern Kentucky sheep raise
i'll an effort to develop a breed
sheep without tails.
The experiment will be started
this fall.
Such breed Of sheep is posi-
bic, according to L. ]. Horlacher.
III charge of the sheep at the sta
ton. He says the breed Of polled
Hereford cattle was started il
1908 by mating two hornless an
inals. A number OF tailless lamb.
probably will be obtained from
the first cross of the two tailless
individuals and the experiment
ers hope to build up an entirely
new breed from these lambs.
Several tailless sheep have beer
born i'll Marion county this year
MIR. HOrlacher says. The eve
purchased by the station was sir
ed by a Southdown ram. Her dam
was a high grade Hampshire.
The taillesS ram owned by the
station also will be bred to sever
al 1ong-tailed ewes to determine
the results of such a cross.
A breed of sheep without tail,
would be an enormous improve
ment over persent breeds. Mr.
Horlachr says. Long-tailed mar
ket lambs and sheep are not de-
sired and before the highest price
can be realized on them thei,
tails must be locked. Should the
experiment result in developing {
breed of tailless sheep. farmer
who raise market animals will be
spared the time and expense Of
clipping their tails before placing
them on the market.
