them two quarts-and started home.
 But alas
 Something happened.
 An "old blind horse came tearing down the wilderness" and ran into the two old darkies with their jugs l-knocked them down and broke the jugs-and all their good whisky went a-glimmering.
 One of the old fellows who picked himself up quickest and looking around to see what had hit him, glanced at all his perfectly good "hootch" flooding the ground and said pathetically as he shook his head:
 ''Fo' de Lawd, eff Ghrismus ain't done cum an gone; yassir. The Seven Ages of the Christmas
 Turkey All the worlds platter And all the men and women merely
 eaters.
 They have with them always their
 appetites.
 And one turk in his time plays
 many parts,
 His acts being seven ages: At first
 the roast,
 Reposing grandly on the groanlng
 board, Then the warmed over bird, served
 up next day,
 Lest we forget the Iuletide's merry
 meal; Then the cold cuts, at luncheon and
 at tea,-
 Next comes the stew, yelept fricasse,
 And which, forsooth, do cause us
 many groans
 And bangs of indigestion; The croquettes
 Garnished with parsley cunning With what suspiciously doth taste
 like veal.
 And so they play their part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and languid turkey
 hash.
 Last scene of all. That ends this strange, eventfui
 history; A skeleton, a rack of clean-picked
 homes, :, That finds it's dismal way into the soup
 Sans breast, sans legs, sans wings,
 sans everything.
 Mir. and Mrs. Munger's Gift
 Todav-to be specific this after noon-the first dulcet velvety tln- tinabulating tones of the beautiful organ which Mir. aand Mrs. k. ;. | Munger have given to the Walker Memorial church will be heard un- der the magic touch of Blrming- hams distinguished artist, Mrs | Edna Gockel Gussen.
 This beautiful tribute from MT and Mrs. Munger, who are among lthe most beloved and honored citi. gents of this community, is one of the most perfect bits of mechanism when it comes to modernity Tn or gan construction that Birmingham has ever had.
 MT. Orla D. Allen Is the dis tinguished organist and organ builder who has installed so eftl- ciently seven of the famous Austin organs in this city-the first being the one at the Woodlawn Baptist church in 1918-and the last at the Walker Memorial church.
 The selection of Mrs. Gussen as the organst for this wonderful in strument at the Walker Memorial church is peculiarly interesting and apropos.
 From MT. and Mrs. Munger , sweet friendship, their love and ap- preciation of the talent and the genius of this wonderful artist, much of the joy that Mrs. Gussen has derived from her successful ca reer is due.
 Always her friend, always her ad- mirer, Mir. and Mrs. Munger could think of nothing lovelier or more appropriate than that her gifted fingers should be the first to bring melody from the keys of the gor- geous instrument which is their gift to this church.
 Mrs. Gussen in turn is deeply ap preciative of the compliment, anc in presenting a beautiful program this afternoon, assisted by double quartet of singers, composed o1 some of Birmingham's choicest voices, she will reveal to her audi tors the exquisite combinations modern accessories, and tunefu blending of the perfect instru- ment.
 s Mrs. Gussen is enthusiastic in her praise of the handsome three manual and pedal organ and like Mir. Allen she regards it as work of art.
 In speaking of the organ Mrs i Gussen said yesterday:
 "When the Walker Memorial church was erected there was nc specific place left for an organ and when Mir. and Mrs. Munger made their generous gift to the church, il took all the genius and all the in genuity that Mir. Allen possesses to devise the erection of the instru- ment.
 Ut is unique in that the only part of the organ visible to the eye is the console which is placed on the floor of the church.
 "Everything else is concealed reposing in a garret as it were while parts of the organ are sus pended, swinging from the choil loft-a remarkable feat in orgar building.
 Beautiful results can be achieved from this unique placing of the mechanism of the organ which combines the great organ, tha scuall oruap thn scho;r orrc,
