And Limburger smells like CO
I, logne.
When ploughshare is made out

And the heart of tree suckers of
stones,
When ideas grow in Republican
heads,
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the Democratic. party will
be dead,
And this country won't be worth
a DIM.

Do not clutch the wheel with a
vise-like grip. 1t is not strength which
guides the car, but sureness of hand.
Colorado, with a registration of
12S,951 motor vehicles, averaged a
consumption of 800 gallons of gasoline
per car last year.
Saskatchewan, with a total Of &C, 1852
automobiles and 424 motorcycles, now
stands second in Canada, in regard to
the number of registered motor We
hicles.
While the Automobile Club Of Ro-
chester, n. Y, is one of the largest
motor clubs in the country, plans of
membership campaign are under way
to boost the roll to 10000 members.
Because of perfect year-round con-
ditions, motor vehicles in Florida con-
sumed on an average of 942.7 gallons
of gasoline last year. The average
consumption in the United States is
$50 gallons.

After all, what is this life but
a parable of talents and oppor-
tunities. Anyone can have
whatever he wishes or be what
ever he desires, if he will pay
the price for it. The price is
the sole condition. Nature is
not tricked. We pay the full
price for what we get. And We
receive what we pay for.

He will be succeeded by Johnny
Eyers, whose appointment has been
approved generally by the Chicago
fans. Evers gained all his fame or

Cubs, having joined the team in 1902
He became the regular second base.

MHE origin Of the Christmas carol
VIZ Is uncertain. 1t is probably a.
old as Christianity. Indeed.

remarks that the FIRST carol Is the
hymn Of the angels to the shepherds
IN the plains Of Bethlehem:
"Glory to God In the highest, and

In the Fifteenth century carols were
widely used throughout Europe. In
fact. the first pieces printed by the
very first printers were carols. In one
Of the oldest collections appears 1.-THE
Bears Head" which used to be sung
as that old dish was carried to the
table during the Christmas revelry:
The Bears Head in hands ! bring
With garlands gay and birds singing:
pray you all TO help me sing
"Qui estis In convivio."
1.-THE Bears Head" represents one
Of the convivial carols or "jolie chan
sons" which had their place at the
feasts. dances and other gay festivi-
ties Of the Christmas season.
In Shakespeare's time bands Of
itinerant singers used to wander about
the streets and make their carolry q
pretext for getting money.
During the Eighteenth century carol
~ declined greatly, and many Of the
quaint old customs which had marked
Christmas festivals for centuries be-
came obsolete.
Carolry still exists in parts Of Eng
land.
In Wales 1t has been preserved to
q still greater extent, while Ireland.
too, has her Christmas caroling In
time-hOnored style. France has Its
"Noels," and In Italy Christmas carols
have been sung since the time Of st.
Francis Of Assist, who discovered the
power Of sacred song In the ver'
nacular.
In churches ell over the world many
of the delightful old carols are now q
part of the Christmas service.
