HaywardS' Christmas in
the Big Land o Lakes
REAL CHRISTMAS SPIRIT SHOWN
THE HAYWARDs AT THEIR
LOG CABIN HOME

Living as we do in the heart of the
Metropolis of Gods most favored
Children and surrounded by his choic>
est Temples (The Forests) and being
blest with the best gifts nature can
bestow one might naturally expect us
to be a trifle jealous of our posses
sions and give little thought to those
less favored who dwell in Town of
City with its cold artificiality and dull
setting, who knows but little of the
real pleasure of a natural life. And at
the same time 1 presume those of the
City occasionally think OF "the poor
wretches" living in places remote
from the bright lights as almost
worthy tear now and then
"Pity being akin to love" may per-
haps be the means of eventually
bringing all mankind together in real
brotherly love of which City folk know
but little as they have only the green
house variety while up here in 1.-THE
Big North Woods where everybody
and everything is natural we have the
real true plant which flourishes the
year round out in the open.
For instance today, Dec. oath. 1922
while sitting in our Homestead Cabin
where we have spent so many Merry
Christmas evenings together (wife
and y and naturally rummaging thru
the past years for bright spots, giving
no thought to wishing for Material
things better than we possess nor
with the least regret for being placed
right where we are, we were suddenly
aroused by the "chug- chug" of
Ford carry-all in the front yard
And this is what poured out from
that car. Two friends, who had buck
ed snow from 1 to 2 feet deep over
a trail more than seven miles long
Just to see us, and this is what they
brought
beautiful Christmas tree all
trimmed with tinselled ornaments,
candies, candles, ribbons popcorn
strung and colored fruit, nuts, gum
and many little decorative toys.
Then in comes a big lunch basket
which when opened revealed. two fine
roasted chicken, (all stuffed) mince
pies, frosted cakes and cookies galore
and a beautiful present for the wife.
All this from Jungle Friends who
were prompted by love alone, and who
after brief chat donned their Mack
naws" and waded the drifts to the
car ready for the return trip before
the radiator should freeze, and with
a real salute Of Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year" they were off.
Their wish is sure to come true, for
they made onr Merry Christmas and
delivered it. Not only one Happy New
Years but as many as shall be allotted
us, all shall be happy because of the
memory of these friends as well as
the many others who have so kindly
and generously remembered us with
tokens of friendship and love, and
l wish that our city brothers and their
families might know the real JOY of
"A Merry Christmas" in the big
North Woods of Wisconsin"
Where health is our treasure
And living a pleasure
Where greed and deceit are unknown
The love of our Neighbor
Brings Joy with our labor,
And brotherly love is ingrown.

DR.. Simmons was a grand old man
but was queer insssome of his ways
and ideas. though innocent in mean;-
ing. He once rented the field in
rear of his home from Maj. Ephrian
CorIey. Frank, a colored man, was
his faithful servant and did the farm
ing. After breaking and hauling in
his crib two onelhorse loads of corn,
Maj. Corley, after waiting a reason
able time for his rent, finally asked
DR.. Simons for his thirds he was to
have for rent. The doctor bolster
ously replied why Eph., it did not
make no thirds-wl1y d-m if there
was but two little one-horse loads OF
corn made-and Eph. laughed it oft
good humoredly.
It is said that DR.. Sin1ons was very
fond Of ice, cram, and unfortunately,
he eat SO much one night, that it
really caused his death. As he never
recovered from this feast of cream,
and his remains now lie mouldering
in his grave in ST. Stephens cemetery.

tered a plea of nolIo contendere sew

We who met last as lovers meet as friends
We may salute with formal clasp Of hand
And formal word. Our spirits understand
No less the invocation that aseends
From hearts which haunting memory still
Despite the efforts of our self-cOmmand.
When two have loved, only to find love
Pains not the only thing that never ends.
How long shall we be able to deny
With mere platonic niceties of phrase
The unreIenting voices of the past?
How long before there rings aloud the cry
That even now resounds within and flaws
The farce Of friendship never meant to
last?
