now can sum up the results, 1
and they may be briefly stat- i
ed. thus: $
v Our Brethren of the Metho-
'v dlst, Presbyterian, Baptist and
v Congregational Churches, who e
'f erstwhile on Thanksgiving
i Day were wont to Indulge In a
$ union Bervice, wherein they 8
lauded each other more or less,
and thanked God they were v
not Just like other men; and $
v then would make an offering
of about $1.75 or less, and then
? the congregation went to their S
dinners thinking they had had
i a profitable time.
$ But alas! This year, we are
not quite bo loving, for the 8
r meek and humble Shannon has e
departed, with a goodly sack of $
shekels, leaving behind quite
f' a large tore place among the i
brethren, which the modern
method of making Christians,

Apples, raisins, lemon drops.

A picture for tho empty nook,
A box of holiday cigars,
A hatpin, slippers, pair of mitts,
A dozen handkerchiefs, a shift.
A piece of neckwear new and strange
Save -for the annual exchange.
December wna tho tenth month In
the old Roman year, and gels Us name
from the Uttln decern (10). Hut what
with forest fires In tho middle of au
tumn, tho Roman Klro Department hnd
no time to put out Chrlstmus trees,
and when Numa's own palace burned
Im rearranged tbo citlenilnr and mov
ed Christmas along to a time when
the Dromon hnd nothing elso on. .
The frisky calf will sniff tho morn
anil merrily envort, and the frost will
alp him where his scant upholstering
Is short. Tho boys will (lock to Sun
day school with flue religious, fire, the
hired man will hung around unworthy
of bis hlro, tho wiirulng goose will
hurry south on f rant ic wings a-rustlo,
with winter urging him nlong where
Corn wore tho bustle.
The melnnrholy days will come, and
rioreas will roar; the wolf will thrust
his muzzle through the keyhole In the
door. He'll whiff tho scent of bacon
bought at 30 cents a pound, and plain
potatoes by the box w ith tissue wrap
ped around: and every time we chase
him off nnd bid him to his den, the
trusts will pump his stomach out and
sic him on again.
The water pipes will all explode
And give tho house a Jar;
The plumber's chauffeur will get out
Tho throbbing racing cur;
Hut while relief is on the wny
To plug the gushing Bpout,
The car will hnve a hemmorhnge
And blows Its innards out.
The unemniuipatod wife will quit
her cozy bed and build the fire the
while her lord pretends that he Is
dead. She'll wrap herself up In her
bnlr nnd shiver In tbo dawn, and chop
the kindling, hustle coal and turn the
dntuper on; and whllo she freezes till
she turns tho hue of a persimmon,
the scientists will wonder why men
outlive the women.
Mlludy's winter suit will cost
A fifty-dollar note.
Hut ninn will face the blizzard In
Tho same old overcoat.
The cook will gasoline the fire.
And the chnlr. In sweet accord
Will slug on Sunday at the house,
"O, I am coming, Lord!"
On tho 21st the sun will enter Cap
ricorn, and the winter solastico will
occur. This will cost trusts to spawn,
and the yulo tldo will come In. Sol
stice Is from sol (the sun) and slstere
(to stand). Thus, having touched its
turning point south of the equntor, the
sun temporarily stands still. This was
where Joshua held it up. from which
we havo our word Josh. Anybody can
do It.
4t any rate, tho 21st will be thei
shortest day of the year, and wo shall
pass under tho Influence of Capricorn,
the Goat. This is tho tenth sign of
the iodine. It Is represented on the
ancient monuments as an old man
with a body of n goat, which signi
fies that during tho Christmas season
father Is tho goat.
Tho Christmas shoppers' Marathon
Will happen as of yore,
And the little savings bank will chase
Tho present round the Btore.
The unleashed dollar will pursue
The frightened Teddy Bear
The crowd will trample on the clerks
And pull each other's hair;
Tho young and old will pull and push,
And mill around an butt,
And Santa Claus in terror will
Take to the tall uncut.
And then the fateful Christmas Eve
will come with wintry weather, and
Morgan will hang up his shirt with
both tails pinned together; and any
thing by way of luck that manages to
miss its yawning neck we're welcome
to, O Joy and double bliss!
The happy kids will rise at morn
With rapture at the bat
And get down twenty-seven steps
With turn In nothing flat.
The tickled heart uf youth will dance
And sing its wondrous luck,
The cautious boy will climb the flue
To see if any stuck.
The house will oscllllate with Joy,
l lie breakfast will be late.
And old John D. will get the earth
tor thirty winters straight.
Mr. Rooevelt will give a big game
lliiner nt the White House Christmas
day. All the big lion hunters of the
world will attend, and there will be a
roaring contest, with favors. The pass
word for this month is supplied by
the Kaiser William. Mum is the word.
Tho moon will be full on the 7th, and
there will be bad weather around 2tf
Broadway every day but Sunday.
The mistletoe will tempt the maid
llenenth the chandelier,
The loving swain will halt and start
Betwixt his love nnd fear,
And then dash In with beating heart
And chew her blushing ear.
Tho blrthstime for December Is the
onyx. This Is because children are
onyxpected at a time when the stork
has to make his deliveries In a flrtiess
cooker.
Then Leap Year will have run its
course
With little to Its merit,
And the spinster who has missed her
chance
Will have to buy a parrot.
Cocncil Puts a Damper on Feeding In
Local Saloons.
Free lunches will be a thing of the
past, when the council gets action on
the proposed ordinance that was
passed to Its first reading Wednesday
night It Is contended that the food
placed on the sideboards in saloons is
unwholesome and unclean and not
lit for the average man, and It Is also
stated that many men frequent sa
loons, because they are attracted by
the free lunches, when they would
otherwise be at home.

More litigation among the children
of Mary J. Gans, deceased, was be
gun in the Multnomah County Court
Saturday morning when a citation was
issued directing Mrs. Cora B. Cusick
Willis 'to appear before December 14
and answer a charge that she has se
creted $1000 belonging to her mother's
estate. The citation was based on
the affidavit of Mrs. Willis" sister,
Mrs. Birdie L Cusick Martin. It Is
asserted that prior to Mrs. Gans'
death. Mrs. Willis secured possession
of the $1000 and has refused to give
it to the administrator, O. L. Price.
Mrs. Gans died February 10, leav
ing her daughters $5 each, but provid
ing that after the expenses of adminis
tration were paid, the personal prop
erty should be divided equallybetween
the daughters. Thomas F. Ryan was
named as executor, but he resigned
in May. There was then a contest
between Mrs. Birdie L. Cusick Martin
and her brother, L. B. Cusick, as to
who of the two who should be ap
pointed to succeed th executor. A
compromise was at last reached and
0. L. Price was appointed administra
tu. The property of Mrs. Gans' es
tate was appraised at $3906.
There ought to be enough for every
body these good times. Even the plow
