GOOD KING WENCEIAS.
Traditional

traditional.
Good King Wencelas looked out
On the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about,
Deep and crisp and even;
Brightly shone the moon that night,
Tho the frost was cruel,
When poor man came in sight,
CATERING winter fuel.
Hitler, page, and stand by me,
If thou know'st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he?
Where and what his dwelling?"
Sire, he lives a good league hence,
Underneath the mountain,
Right against the forest fence,
BY Saint Agnes fountain"
Bring me flesh and bring me wine,
Bring me pine logs hither;
Thou and | will see him dine,
When we bear them thither."
Page and monarch forth they went,
Forth they went together,
Thro' the rude winds wild lament,
And the bitter weather
Sire, the night is darker now,
And the wind blows stronger;
Fails my heart, / know not how
| can go no longer
Mark my footsteps, my good page
Tread thou in them boldly:
Thou shall find the winters rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly."
In his masters steps he trod
Where the snow lay dinted;
Heat was in the very sod
Where the saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure,
Wealth or rank possessing
Ye who now will bless the poor
Shall yourselves find blessing.

LOOK INTO WELSH HISTORY
Simple Explanation Of Fact Which
Has for Long Puzzled Travellers
in That Country.

Sir Alfred I. Davies, who has set
some hundreds of Welsh children on
the interesting work of compiling a
record of Welsh rural lore-a sort Of
new DOomsday book-has been inquir-
ing the reason for the curious fact
(recorded by one of the new chron-
iclers) that while Welsh cows are In
variably given Welsh names, Welsh
horses are as invariably given English
ones.
The explanation, says the Man
chester Guardian, will be found long
way back in history. The first owners
Of horses In Wales were the mobiles,
many of them foreigners from across
the border. Their horses naturally
had English names and as the native
Welshman, too, began to use horses
instead of oxen, he gave them the
familiar names to which he had be-
come accustomed.
So 1t is that to this day horses In
Wales bear such names as Boxer and
Duchess, while the cows remain as
true Welsh, with names like Siren and
Pensgwar.
