FOR DECEMBER
Copyright 1910 by C. H. Rieth.
Tom, Tom, the piper's son,
Thought to steal another one,
But when, with aeon 40 cents,
He thought Uj on the consequence,
And what he probably would got
In case he landed in the net,
The lawyers he would haveto hire
To save him from the butcher's ire,
The money Cudahy would spend
To push it to the bitter end,
The merciless concern of Swift
To see he was not set adrift,
The sum that Armour, if he fled,
Would otfer for him live or dead,
And how the unforgiving lust
For vengeance would move tne trust
To make example of him lest
Some other piper's son protest
Against poor chops at thirty flat,
And pickeleu pigs' feet selling at
Six-bits a dozen, souse a bit.
And sausage even close to it
When Tom considered it, in brief,
And also how much more a thief
He would be this time than before,
He w isely passed the butcher's door
Rejoiced thai self had stood the test'
And went on hoping for the best.
December is from the Latin
decern, meaning ten. It was ori

year, but owing to the -widespread
unpreparedness for Christ

. The custom of giving presents
was originated by the Greeks,
and they had such a faculty for
getting the better of it when
they exchange! presents with
any one that the expression "Be
ware of the Greek bearing gifts"
became historic. It was on a
Christmas day when all the
Greeks were showing what they
had gotten and were laughing
about it that Diogenes, who
made a pratice of criticising the
national faults in some amusing
way, set out on his famous search
for an honest man. The Persians
one time resorted to arms in an
effort to get their presents back,
but they were badly defeated at
the battle of Marathon, and no
serious attemp to get presents
back has ever been made from
that time to this.

fearful gait to make his ichor

in his bed and dream that Roose

night will worry through with
the wolf ki-yi-ing down the flue.
The wind will push against the
door, and our old friend Boreas

and fell with samples of his col

feel imbued to beat the mark for
altitude, and butter will cavort

Whatever Santa Claus has got,
O woe is us! How tough it is
To hang our stockings under his!
But faith is hope, and hope is trust,
And some line day the tail will bust.
Then January will be here
To cheer us now and then,
And in the glad and new-born year
We'll nil swear off again.
