This is the season Of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. II is almost certain
to be needed before the winter is over

THE SANTA PARTY
How Lots Of Christmas Fun May
Be Had by Boys Club.
Zach Lad Provides One Present, Made
by Himself, for Old Kris
krinpis's Bag.

THE biggest boy in the club should
i be the Santa Claus. To dress
him up, borrow a bath robe, and trim
it round the collar and cuffs with some
old fur. A big fur cap is the thing
for Santa Claus head, and great
big bag should be provided for him
to hang over his shoulder to carry
the presents In. A paper mask Tor
Santa can be bought at some small
store for about twenty cents, and =
big beard can be made of excelsior,
tied up SO as to stay In place. II
the excelsior can be dyed gray all the
better.
Each boy in the club should pro-
vide one present for Santa's bag. 1t
would be better If each boy should
make the present himself. Good things
for such presents are bean bags, base
balls, bats, Skinny sticks, tops, mar
bles, short wooden swords, sings,
putty blowers, jew's-harps, soap-bubble
pipes, jack-stones, match-safes, candy
chewing gum, and 30 on.

OLD YULETIDE CAROLS
"HoIy Night" Regarded as One Of
Most Beautiful Songs.
"Draw Nigh, Emmanuel" One OF Old
est Pieces and Far Ante
dates Any Others.

TT HE ancient Christmas carol, Holy
i Night is German In its origin
and is considered by many persons to
be. the most beautiful Of all Christ
mas carols. 1t has sometimes been
ascribed to Martin Luther, but the
consensus of expert opinion is that 1t
is much older than his time and is one
of the oldest of German folk songs.
The carol God Rest Ye Merry,
Gentlemen" is English in its origin
and dates back to about the beginning
of the Seventeenth century, although
the author of the words and the COM
poser of the music are unknown. The
fine old melody sung to this poem pos
sesses all the best qualifications of a
sterling hymn tune and will probably
last as long as the verses with which
it is always associated.
The carol 'Draw Nigh, Emmanuel"
is one of the oldest pieces of coherent
music in existence. and both the words
and music far antedate any of the 9TH
ers. The music is an cd French mel
Ody, dated from the Thirteenth CEN

one of those institutions that has new

the nature of man.
Christmas proves to US that men,
women and children are at heart
friendly beings. The spontaneity Of
Christmas giving and Christmas cheer
proves what people really want to be-
good friends.
Wars 60 on at other times; men
and women quarrel among themselves
over property or over other men and
women; artificial requirements are i'm
posed that incite to greed, dishonesty
and bitterness. But at Christmas time
there comes over the broad, surface Of
our western civilization, which is pref
ty much like other civilizations, q
great reversion to type. Man wants
most to be happy, he wants to dance
and sing and to make other persons
happy. At other times than Christ
mas something seems to be wrong, and
nan reasons that someone else is to

blame.
At Christmas time there Is a gen.
eral forgetting Of everything but be-
ng natural. Christmas is the great
annual armistice Of that portion Of
humanity that has come to be segre-
gated under the name of Christendom.
Christmas is the finest thing that
has come out of Christianity, because
it is the friendliest thing. Men and
women are not naturally and health
lily meddlers; the best part of their
lives and the most of their happiness
does not come from the tyranny they
exercise or the repressions they set
up or the reformatory cruelties they
infiict on others.
At Christmas time men and women
forget to be anything but children
again.
Perhaps some day there will be a
sort of Christmas every day Of the
year. Perhaps men and women will
be able to forget more often and more
completely, and thereby live more
completely, the elimination Of bitter
ness and artificial antagonisms being
both the cause and the effect Of this
happy state.
Perhaps one Of the lessons of Christ
mas is that we have more to forget
than to learn.-Detl oft News.

party should be handed to q commit
tee of three knights, whose duty II
is to pack them all neatly in Santa
Claus bag. At the time of the party
the members of the club should gather
together in the meeting room, and tht
committee may meet in a room neal
by with the big boy who is to be Sants
Claus. They must dress him up ant
escort him to the club. When Santi
comes in all will rise and the presi
dent will say:
"Greeting, Santa Claus: the boy
await yOu."
Santa may reply, Greeting, my chi
dren"
Then Santa passes out the presents
1t is best for the boys to form line.
and for Santa to reach In the bag
without looking and pull out the first
thing that comes to his hand.
The last present in the bag is Santa
Claus. A good deal Of amusement can
be had Mt the party II committee Of
Eve boys is chosen to look after the
entertainment. A good plan Is to get
up shadow pictures. A sheet Is hung

sheet, close to the wall and low down.
is placed Q strong light. The knights
and others who are to be the audience
all sit in front, and when everything
Ia ready all lights except the one be
hind the sheet are put out. The boys
who are to make the shadow pictures
then go between the light and the sheet
and cut up all sorts Of antics, throw
ing large shadows on the sheet. II
there is boy who can make odd
shadow pictures with his hands he can
amuse the club for some time.
Another thing that makes fun at a
Santa Claus party may be called
the hoy orator" A large pair of boots
is provided. and the boy orator puts
his arms In these and stands back of
table, SO that his booted arms may
look like pair of short legs and he
appears to be a funny little man stand
ing on the table. Another boy stands
behind him, and puts his arms through
under the orators arms and makes the
gestures while the orator delivers his

The vote was AT to %, with party

Passage of the measure was re-
garded as a foregone conclusion,
but whether it would reach the

and foes alike to be another ques-
ton. They held that this, probably
would depend upon President Hard

doubtful that there could be obtain

The treasury apparently Is con-
