are provided for all the old people

them to go In aliabby cloth*«.
The
party must have an air of prosperity
as well as good cheer.
The festival starts at five o’clock
in the evening and does not dose un

there Is a big tee. Then wheti all are

During the war the old people would

that It was almost impossible to get

His

the servant girl to broil a lob.iter for
my friend’s dinner. She left a note
telling her husband of the treat she
had provided for him and requesting
hint not to wait dinner for her. He
was quite hungry when he readied
home and, after’ reading the note, said
to the aervi nt:
“Is that lobster ready?"
“No. air. It isn’t,” said the girl
"Well, hurry up with tt
gry as a hear," said he.
“I can't, sir," said the girl. "The
mistress said to broil the lobster, and
I got him on the gridiron after a deal
of fnss. The more I poked the fire
the more he walked off, and I thought
he was haunted nnd no good would
enme from cooking a straddle hug like
that."
"What did you do with It?" mild my

HARD TO DECIDE

Representative John Gamer of Tex

I've found that of all the THylor stories
this one la not very well known.
“In the South there was a struggling
preacher with a family so large that tt
took all his meager pay to keep going.
And besides that, ths children kept
coming along. He was very poor.
“One more baby arrived.
So the
congregation got up what is known in
the South as a pounding. The idea Is
that everybody gives a pound of some
thing to stock up tiie family food sup
ply. And In addition the congregation
got up a purse for the preacher.
Two mumtiere of the congregation,
of a simrting turn of mind, made a bet
