THE CHRISTMAS EYE

A little child has the Christmas eye,
And what eye can see
Is not just windows and ornaments,
Nor toys and the Christmas tree.
But the far-off things Of magic light
Whose glow we have lost so long
Who are wanderers home to the
shores of night
From the morning shores Of song
Now, take a window on any street
And the child's eye sees what We
May have lost the vision for through
life,
And the feeling Of mystery:
But the bubble is rising again, / know
And the laughter that | shall heal
Will carry me back to the deafness
glow
OF the beautiful yesteryear.
Why that elephant stuffed, with its
howdah on,
Is ridden, the child will say,
BY a Nubian prince. with brow OF
dawn
And the child's eyes seem that way:
All, magical vision of far-off things
Give me the Christmas eye
That shall fill the air with countless
wings
Of dreams that shall never die.

COLOR IN LIFE

A mans days are bright or dark
as his own mind compels. If he will
resolutely find the sun, he finds it.
If he insists on seeing the rain-clouds
black as the neither pit and full of
doom, there they are.
The cheerlessness of life is not in
drab, depressing surroundings is
in ourselves. The joy of living is for
us to choose. We may have brave
adventures in a walk of a few blocks,
if we have the sympathy and the
imagination to bring to the scene.
Whatever the occupation whereby
men and women earn their daily bread
their first business is to bring as
much happiness to living as they are
able, ard to streW it about them as
they go, We need more optimists
and enthusiasts, and we can dispense
with pessimists and croakers. We
need more Of those who are not afraid
to be Jhcmselvcs-no afraid to have
am individuality, and to express it,
in ways that bless and do not wound.
Color is brought into life not so
much by any panorama the eye,-car
sec-not so much by the accidents
and Incidents Of a vivid career-as
by our friendships. Every acquain-
lance we make brings a fresh range
Of thought. feeling Sand experience
into contact with our own. We give

minds with ideas that we had not

Christ Seems Worth White

Oh, Christmas is a nuisance,
We sometimes think and say
Such a lot Of work and worry
Just for one short day.
Hard-carned money squandered,
Weary heads and feet
Useless giving, senseless striving
In the struggle to compete.
Yet, on Christmas morning,
When we hear the children's cries
Raiding little stockings
In raptures of surprise:
When we open parcels
That loving hands have wrapt,
Seems like spring of kindness
In our hearts are tapped.
Seems our thoughts grow gentIer,
More tender is the smile!
Yes on Christmas morning,
Christmas seems worth while.

INTOLERANCE

I've a neighbor from a country over

His skin is of a slightly darker dye;
His language has a foreign sound to
me,
SO | watch him with a most sus-
picious eye.
He minds his business carefully; he
never gives offense;
His are impeccable-and
yet it's all pretense.
| am sure he plots my downfall
with a deep ard dark design;
You see, he must be wicked-since
his customs are not mine!
There's a country on the other side
the world.
An empire vast with boundaries
flung wide;
On every sea her banners are unfurled
Her commerce circles home on every
tide.
She pretends to be unselfish, but we
know it's all deceit; =
She's a hungry jackal stalking close
her unsuspecting meat,
She will dare the basest treachery to
win her moneys worth
For you know that we're the only
honest nation on the earth.
If you see a fellow walking through
the town
With a hat unlike the kind that you
prefer,
You Ear take your little book and
mark him down
As a dangerous and dark adven-
turer.
You must view with dark misgiving
every soul that dares to tread
In any path except the one by which
your steps are led.
For since your ways are always
right, of course it must be true
The foulest crime in all the list is
difference from you!

Mysterious Snake

For several weeks steers and cows
were found dead in a ranch in Tamau-
llpaS, with their tongues very badly
mangled, and at other times cut off
and at a distance from the dead body
The owner could not make out what
kind of an animal was doing this
miSchieyouS work, till one day. while
riding through the brush he saw a
COW which was turning all kinds of
somersaults, as if it was crazy. After
a few minutes she fell down dead,
there being no apparent reason for
this wild behavior. When the man
came close. and while looking at it,
a very thin snake came out-at least
pulled out its head and part of its
body-from the cows nostrils and
started to crawl away from the place,
when the man killed it. When he eX-
amined the cows mouth he noticed
that the tongue was eaten and almost
cut off by the snake, which crawling
up her nose, could work at ease, while
the COW was driven mad and finally
choked to death on account of the
blood pouring out of the wound. Cows
invariably will swallow their blood
when bruised in the mouth.-Adyen-
ture Magazine.
