AN ODE TO THE 27TII.
Tho melancholy day has como,
Tho saddest of tho year,
it mnlcoa mo 111 to deo a trco
Or hoar of "Christmas Cheer."
Wo'vo boon greatly grieved at pres
ents Wo "surely should havo got,"
Wo'vo gotten many others
That "greatly plcaso us" not.
So I daro not sing of OhrlBtmns
Day with nil its mirth,
Rut sing an odo to tho 27th
When groat grief is given birth.
Tho only thing that cheers mo
In this day of Joy boroft
Ir a volco that seems to whtapor,
"No more shopping days now loft."

PORT ORFORR NOTES
It fills your soul with melody
To gazo upon tho scone;
Tho smiling sky, tho waters, hills,
And nil that lieu botweou.
You sniff tho ozone, clear and crisp
No clndors, Binoko or dust.
Thero's something in you seems to
say
" l'vo got to fly or bust.'
Your heart beats light, your blood
goes zlugt
You walk h if on air;
You tinglo, jingle, hum and Hinllo
From soles of feet to linlr.
There's nothing In tho world but
Joy,
As you trnvol day to day
And llfo's worth living hero, 'you
bot.

How dear to this heart is tho stocking
of childhood, when fond recollection
presents it to viewl On Christmas St.
Nick camo from frost-covered wlld
r wood with every loved toy which my
Infancy knew, Tho wldo spreading
chimney, tho sled which stood by It, a
horse, ami somo books I remember
them all a doll for my slstor, and
baby Iioubo nigh it, and then tho full
stockings which hung on tho wall tho
Santa Claus stocking, tho bountiful
stocking, tho Christmas morn stocking
which hung on tho wall! Tho well stuffed
envelopo 1 hailed as n trcasuro as early
that morning I opened my eyes and found
that the source of nn exquisite pleasure,
the purest and sweetest that nature
supplied. How ardent I seized It with
hands that woro glowing, and back
to my white sheeted bed went with
all, then soon, with tho emblems of
love overflowing was happy In what
to my lot did bofall tho Santa Claus
stocking, tho generous stocking, the
Christmas morn stocking, which
hung on tho wall! How sweet
through Its round open top to cx-
'r-' " V , ploro It as poised on my knee It
inclined to my vlow! Not a
v ' ; hot, tempting breakfast
could make mo forget
it for longer nt
most than n minute or
two. And now, far re
moved from tho loved sit
uation, tho tear of regret
will Intrusively fall, m fancy
roverts to my youth's habitation
and sighs o'er tho stocking which hung
on tho wall tho Santn Slaus stocking, tho
plethoric stocking, tho Christmas morn stock
in which hung on tho wall! Rut grown
pcoplo find there's a later sensation ns grateful as
any they felt long ago. It comes when they
witness tho glad oxultatlon which on Christinas
morning their own offspring show. And now,
dean old Santa Claus, lot mo potltlon your favor
for children, both largo 'ones and small. Rrlng
all the bright hopes to tho fullest fruition that
rests In each stocking which hangs on tho .

WILL RETAIN PARKS
Coqulllo
the
to Hold Option
Property Cho.sen
Tho Coqulllo Sentinel says: "It
has beou practically agreod between
tho City Council and men who sign
ed the note to render It possible
tt sec tiro tho Patterson grove as a
city park, that tho city will pay
the taxes and interest on tho note
and thus retain an option o tho
proporty for a year to come. Tho
amount that will havo to bo paid to
get title to tho laud will bo f2300.
It Is proposed to secure somo of tho
needed funds for this purcha&o by
tho salo of tho old city dumping
ground east of tho Masonic ceme-tory.
It is a crime at any time to be away from home
To peddle boards, er carry swords, er sail the ocean foam,
To pull a saw, er ee an' haw a lazy plug er steer
It's pretty tough, it's bad enough at any time of year,
But ev'ry man who ever ran a hemlock to the skids
The same will say: that Christmas Day is when you miss the
kids,
It's cold an' damp an' dark in camp; it's lonelier than sin,
It isn't much like Christmas, such as gener'ly comes in,
You think about the baby's shout, you think about the tree;
A sigh you give, "I wonder if tho children think of me?"
Yes, Ev'ry man who ever ran a hemlock to the skids
Will say the same that it's a shame, tho way you miss the
kids, , , tv.&'ti&M&ffi
An' yet I guess their happiness is what you want the worst;
The meanest Turk fer that'll work, would hunger an' would
thirst;
An', if we hit the trail a bit, an' leave the kids behind,
It's grub an' clo'se an' things like those fer wife an' them to
find,
An' so I'll do my duty, too, an' go where duty bids,
But, fellahs, sayl on Christmas Day, Lord, how you miss the
kip's! American Lumberman,
