Well, never mind. We will take a
lcok ait Congress and also the State
Legislature somtime soon, but just
at the point indicated by the ??2
above we are reminded that "Axel'
is just one year old tonight. He just
couldn't go any further without tell
ing you in plain English that he
truly appreciates the cordial recep-
tion you, his readers, have given him.
"Axel" is not a sob artist peddling
his woes, but he does ask you to re
member that to be even one-cylind-
err humorist requires the burial of
aches, and pains, and dissappoint-
ments, and other things that put
Jumps into ones throat. If these
weekly (weakly) letters have
brought even a few sincere smiles to
your faces, and few chuckles to
your diaphragm "Axel' is pleased in
deed. And he is ready to go you an
other round. But before he does he
asks me to infick this bit of season
able rhyme upon you, and to assure
You that You have his sincere wish
for a Merry Christmas.
A Christmas Window
We're masons, and when fear be-
sets,
About our narrow world we build
Thick, noted walls and parapets
Till every sunlit space is filled.
But wiser far, whate'er befall.
'Twould be, if through our years
mature
We'd open keep in our gray wall
AT least one tiny aperture.
Through such crevice, warming
~,
The suns bright rays might reach
the soul
And weeping, weary eyes might
see
New, far-fung fields of love unroll.
And through it as in yester-year
We'd see the land of Santa Claus,
Where every heart is full of cheer,
And Mother Nature makes the
laws.
There elfin music still enchants,
And silver stars shine through the
blue;
There fairies dance, and reindeer
prance,
Just as Of yore they used to do.
Very sincerely youra,
w. B. ID.
