Ho Isn't taking any nut m.w chances of Santa Claua even banding him anything olso this year. Our Mr. Morgan will revert To hanging up his spacious shirt, And tying up tho tall to pot Whntover Santa Claus has got. O woo Is us! How tough It Is To hang our stockings under his! But faith is hope, and hope is trust, And some flno day tho tall will bust. As many things have bust before, and bingo! on tho parlor floor will go tho Christmas odds and ends wltn hioh hia catch-'em-all distends.

For ovory por- son that descends to tying pants around tho ends, and closing shirts around tho baso there Is a reckon ing to faco. Tho laws of Santa Claus aro good, and In tho end aro what wo would desire they were that Is to say that this Js everybody's day. A slnglo sock above tho flro 1b all a body should require, and thoro boforo tho glowing log nobody keen to bo the hog. In such a spirit was it said that all dava aro to get ahead oxcopt th's one, which was designed for overy- ono to got behind. Tho morry holi days will como, and Santa, sliding on his turn, will bolly buster to tho grate, ajid do his best, nt any rato. What remains of Congress will cx chango experiences at Washington during tho month, and tho man who sends Mr. Taft the biggest Christmas turkey will get a good outsldo Job around tho Whlto Houso. Then January will bo hero To cheer us now and thon, And in tho glad and now-born year We'll all swoar off again. 4 HIS SEVEN STAGES.

It rains, 'tis Just bogun a Bummor'a night, It rnlns, tho soft drops fall, tho birds swing light. "It rains." Tho thirsty loaves and blades of grass Roach eagerly for drops that pass Tho chlpmonk for Its holo In flight Chirps "Quick! It rains!" It rains, tho drops soon form in llt- tlo rills, It rains, tho rills Join rivers, tho rivers fill. It ralnB. The rivers pour with angry rush Along tho shore tho tangled brush Swing low their boughs, saluto tho hills "Ah Joy I It rains."
