For their share o f his presents they ask such a little, “Just a dolly to hold in my arms while I sleep, A little tin auto that runs when you wind it, A sounding red drum or a woolly white sheep.* The only light in their dim, dark existence Is that wonderful day when old Santa will come W ith his treasure filled pack that he brings on his back From his fairyland, snowyland, toyland home.

Beil ringing is one of the oldest of Christmas customs. At one time, in England, the ringers gave their serv ices free, nor would they accept any_ «Dedal payment. The peal was rung as a *»atter of course, and was the natural t' T;Qresslon of English joyous- n,osi The m ^ ry music of the bells in Great Britain 8J& wherever churches have peals of bell», is today as much a feature of Christmas as the decora tion of church and home with ever greens, or the provision of the good cheer which always marks this festive season. What an outcry there would be if an edict were issued forbidding the ‘ ringing of the bells during the. coming Native season! Yet this was actually .v during the Commonwealth, for 5 1( ^ 2 the wise men of parliament n >iers that “no observation shall gave 01 . . .. flve-and-twentieth day o \ Read All the Ads in this issue And Profit Thereby A I m g Christmas « “ ««»I? c>,led C1,rl5t- "ft «***• was disregarded in' “ anY P* in others it led to open riotiu_ • ^ . Canterbury the mayor .of the city ti. to enforce the new rule, .^Wt the people were not going to be depr^ed of their pleasures so easily, so thej?' took the law into their own hands, broke the1 mayor’s windows—and some of his bones as well—and affirmed ttieir in tention of keeping their Christmas in their own fashion, Just as their flathers had done before them. >* A Good Modeling Material. It is often very difficult to keep a Child Confined to the house amused. But with a modeling material with which they can make animals, beads, etc., they can be kept afiuused for hours. Take four tablespoonfiuls cornstarch, eight tablespoonfuls salt and eight tablespoonfuls boiling water. Mix the dry ingredients and pour on the boiling water, stirring until the Mixture is soft. Put on the fire and stir until it forms a soft ball, then remove from the stove and stir for ten minutes. A little color may be added. Wrap in oiled paper when not in use to keep from harden ing. SHORT LIFE IS LONG. As the cartoonists have if, a year comes in as a baby and 365 days later dies as an old man. How fortunate it is that the human comes in as a hu- maa and not as a year. , , The good cheer days the holidays the good Christmas time is here , Imbued with thb' ^ this joyful Christmas Season, are eager to express to everyone our Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas and for your welfare during all the New Year.
