OH, the jolly Jack Tar I he is far away from home, -Aboard the nation's battleship upon the briny foam. At Christmas time and all times he sails the seven seas He quaffs the fragrant spices in every foreign breeze, And always when the day comes round that comes but once a year He sighs to quaff the fragrance of his fireside cheeff, ky BUT still the jolly Jack Tar upon the billowed brine, For all his lonesome feeling, is never heard to whine. From somewhere cast of Suez he gets his Christmas greens And decks himself all over with a wealth of woodland scenes. With gorgeous glee he decks hims:lf upon the hammock deck, With evergreens upon his heart and holly round his neck. THOUGH jolly Jack has not a chance to hang the mistletoe And kiss the girl he left behind in case she gets below. He hitches up his trousers and he whistles through his teeth And goes and makes the -mascot goat a jolly holly wreath, And then he sings a chantey song, with loud guffaws between, Ancnt the merry mascot and the wearing of the green. THEN down within his mess room ihc jolly Jack Tar sits And culls a Christmas dinner from the galley and the kits, And Billygoat and Nannygoat arc both remembered, too They get a bounteous feast themselves when jolly Jack through. For, though they have no spinach, they devour the Christmas greens The holly and the shrubbery and all the woodland scenes, "Hov nro we koImb to spend Christ 11111!?' oxeUtued the uuod utiiured .Mrs Oiipmln Uojsks, Heeuilugiy a lilt xur prlM'd nt tliu (iticstloii, for r-ntiiilboiit folk are Meiisltlve of imy criticism tiliu fil in their direction. Why, wore Kulng to spend the day lust like other lolU Some think lie- cause we live on en million u we don't nave nny coniform ami cut like sav niivH. My, but I'd a heap hIkIu rather 1 1 v i - down here than In a Hat like my niece's She's Bot six room, and they don't beslu to be na blB as mine. "If you thlul: there ain't room Just look here," and Mrs. IIobb dlsplnycd the secrets of u suit of rooms, the In genuity of the arrangement rivaling the den or the New York bachelor Blrl. Out or the main cabin, which horvod as living and dining room combined, two alcoves Jutted, besides an lullulteslinnl corner dubbed the kitchen, but which was even tinier than the modem apart ment house kitchenette. While under ordinary circumstances the kitchen wits part of the cabin proper, two doors at right angles to eiirh other could be drawn out, which, mooting, formed a room by Itself. A shiny coal stove or range iilto tilled the compartment, leaving just room before It In which to work, while above It every Inch of wall space was utilized with pots mid kettles and kitchen uten sils of every sort. A low cupboard opening Into the hold contained more ni tides of kitchen use, us well us vegetables anil canned goods. Hunks "weie Ulspln.ed In the two other alcoves, which were In open view of the cabin. Hut from the re cesses of the boat Mrs. Hugg pulled out u sliding door, which completely divided the space Into two rooms, and when curtains were drawn Into the cabin the occupants enjoyed all the privacy desired. A big divan could be opened up at night Into a roomy double bed. and an other bunk, "Just under the wives," was sulllcleutly large to tuck two small youugstera away. Chests of drawers built In, wardrobes and cup l)oii rds In out or the way places sup plied room tor bedding, clothing and the boots and shoes or a ramlly or children. One of the biggest surprises In the boat, one which conveyed n hint that might be applied In small houses where room Is at u premium, was the pre served trult lockers. "We nil do up our own fruit." went on Mrs. IIobbs "You see. while wo go up the canal we ale In the country most of the time, and It Is much cheaper to put up our own fruit than "I'D A HEAI BI01IT IUTIIKn LIVB DOWN 1IK11E." buy It lii winter, uud this Is where wo store It." Uolng to the stairs up the companion way, she pulled out tiny drawers. Small knobs Jutted out from the fare of each step with which to open the drawers, while within there was ulio room enough to allow pint fruit Jars to stand upright. A cold storage room was tucked uwny In the hold. Into .which u small Jour about two teet In height opened. The dining tuble was u folding affair which turned up ngulust the wall of the cabin when not In uo When some surprise wus expressed at the presence of u sewing muchliiu In the room Mrs. Hoggs said: "Oh. that's nothing: Many of the boats have organs us well, uud there Is one tilted up with n porcelain bathtub. So, you see, we have, some of the luxuries of city houses uud plenty of good air uud sunshine. A concert Is to be given an one of the boats here .New Yeur's eve, and If you should like to come dowu we'd be glad to have you uud show you u bit or canalboat hos pitality." A Christmas Game. The "chest" may bu arranged in any way that will bide one or the players l'he game Is based on the old poem.
