CHRISTMAS BELLS

Th« great yule logs are blazing high, The halls with holly green are drest. And blithsome maids and merry lads Are gayly clad In all their best. And have ye seen the fairest maid That er6 hath dwelt 'tween sea and sea? • And for my love and for my faith. Think ye she'll bring a gift to me? O, ring, ye Joy-bells, gayly ring! O, merry minstrels, harp and sing! Fill every heart with Christmas cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year. The yule fire blazes warm and high. On oakened rafter, blackened wall; It shines upon the fairest maid, As down she dances thro’ the hall. I fling my weary harp aside, (And will she stoop to such as I?) I haste to meet her underneath The mystic branches hanging high. 1 O, ring, ye Joy-bells, gayly ring! O, merry minstrels, harp and sing! O, fill my heart with Christmas cheer, For Christmas comes but once a year. Who hath so rare or fair a gift As this my love hath brought to me? For I was but a minstrel lad, A dainty, high-born maid was she. Yet with her lips her heart she gave. Her heart, all pure as Christmas snow. And for her love and for her faith, Fourth unto Joust and war I’ll go. O, ring, ye Joy-bells, gayly ring! O, heart of mine, rejoice and sing, For Christmas love and Christmas cheer Shall bless our lives the whole round year. . —Annie Louise Brackenridge.

PRINCESS THEtTBE Wednesday, Dec. 15lh B. HERBERT MILLIGAN PRESENTS 11 ini oi ill By HAL REID This picture shows why McSwinney starved himself to death. A gripping feature about Ireland with a beautiful love story as the theme. Startling, amazing, almost unbelievable. Truly a picture that impresses. The plot is extraordinarily well worked out, pnd the details of the story of love and patriotism are so cleverly handled as to leave nothing desired. Proclaimed by all to be a big picture—it serves to rank among the masterpieces of the screen. “Truth is* stronger than fiction" and this photoplay is certsinly all truth. o ALSO GOOD COMEDY ADMISSION 15 AND 30c WAR TAX INCLUDED

COLD-BLOODED WITH GIFTS

Program for ThoM Pomona Who Think Banta Claua Deception Should Coma to End. Wo have tried to work out a little Christmas program for those who object to We respect the opinions of all who think the deception ahouid be stopped and feel that we ought to help- them to arrange a disillusionized and thoroughly harmless Christmas —what you might call a gerraless and renovated and disinfected and veracious Joy sen son—which the children will take hold of with enthusiasm without in after dayß wishing to upbraid their parents and hiss at them, "You lied to us I” We suggest, therefore, that the children be called together on Christmas morning by the governor and addreswed as follows: “Kids: We shall now enjoy our gift giving. I tore off a few scads from my roll the other day and handed them to your mother, and she dived headlong into the bargain counter flood and for two whole days appeared not again, and when she did crawl out, battered, jammed, ragged, torn, bruised and old, she clutched to her bosom these few gimcracks, fol-de-rols aid highly unserviceable articles. We have placed them upon these chairs so as to divest the business of any atage effects that might heighten the pleasure In any way or give a false Impression. You are to understand that I had to gTVe up for these things, and I wish to forget about It before I feel real good Inside again, and with these few remarks we will now fall to, and you want to be quick about it, for I want to read my paper in peace."—Judge.
