Oold and foggy is the weather, But the holidays are nigh, When we'll eat the roasted turkey, And devour the chicken pie . Practicing are the limber footed, For the dances that will pass, When each bright faced dude like laddie, Will swing hia ditto, dude like lass. These long nights are happy hours, As we're gilding o'er the floor, And we hearken to the Webfoot showers, Descending as they have oft before. Now we hear the fiddles music, And the bass' pleasant roar, And the caller, as he hollers, "Down the center and cast off four.";. Swing the ladies to the middie. Leave them there and they'll fast. Form a basket arms h"ok over, "Get a move on while it lasts." Jolly Josie Molalla. hold Stafford. . Christmas came. Christmas went. There was above the usual amount of presouts given and received.
