OLD WINTER. Winter, old fellow, you're merry and mellow, You forge the flame of the horoeIng fire. And while you glisten, we hush and listen. As love dreams over his full desire. The wind comes sifting the snow's white drifting To shut us in from the toll and strife; And laughter graces the children's faces, While song flows sweet through the cloistered life. Winter, old fellow, you yowl and bellow, You Bmite uh hard with the wind and sleet; Hut through your latihlng we see tbe flashing Of spring-time glories where dawn Is sweet; Thf snows fall over the fields of clover, And hide the hills from our resting sighsHut through them creeping, your warmth Is keeping. The roues red and the Miles white.

A FEW DONT'S. After three months of married life, Mrs. Ella Farnham, 20, has left the Brooklyn boarding house where she and her husband of 60 had made their home, has sued for divorce and gone to work as a clerk in a notion store. She recommends the following "dont's," based on her own brief experience to all women contemplating matrimony. "Don't mary a man who cannot give you a cozy little home of your own.

"Don't marry until you have spent at least five years in the society of men. "Don't be afraid of being an old maid. It is worse to have your heart broken by a man unworthy of you. "Don't marry too young and with too little knowledge of men. "Don't take men seriously. Most men's compliments are deceiving. "Don't contradict those who tell you marriage is a farce. "Don't forget that a good office job is better than a poor man." All this covers broad ground. But broader still might have been covered by a single sentence: "Don't marry at all unless there is love enough to last longer than three months." Love can overcome all adverse conditions, make a happy home anywhere sweeten sorrows and disappointments, smooth the wrinkles of age and lend wisdom to the inexperience

of youth, and cause all life's joys that are really worth while to hover about it and radiate from it, as fragrance surrounds the rose. There are no fixed rules for happiness in marriage, and never can be any. But it may confidently be 6tated as an invariable general principle that lots of love is needed to prevent a wife kept in a boarding house from being like a fish out of water. The great mass of happy wives who work in their homes, rear their children', cook the meals, mend the clothing and do the thousand and one unending tasks of the housewife need not envy those glistening butterflies who look upon marriage as opportunity for leisure. The happiest wemen in the world are the wives whose love finds expression in . work not overtaxed drudges, whose lives are necessarily miserable, but the women whose time and hands and minds are ever occupied in making the home happier and life for all around them sweeter with wholesome meaning.

there is no Santa Claus and also that they will be unable to go home for the holidays as the bridges have been washed away. One can easily imagine the disappointment of the children when they learn the news and especially when one sees Miss Prim, a most sedate and dignified old maid. The part was taken by Miss Edith Moore and was most capably done. All the songs were pretty and the choruses were catchy and lively adding spirit and vivaciousness to the little playlet. One of the decided hits of the evening was the Bong entitled ''Lisping Lou" as sung by Miss Katherine Emerson. Miss Emerson shows remarkable histrionic ability for one so young. Misses Martha and Mary Iliff were also evcellent and really were far above the average for amateurs. Mr. Malcolm Dill, as "Newsy Ned," made quite a sensation by tbe wonderful manner in which he interpreted his part. Master William Weed was also very good. In the second scene where Santa Claus makes his appearance the expectant look on the faces of the children add to the charm of the entire setting and shows really what Santa means to the little people. Miss Ruth Hadley who sang the poor newsboy to sleep later awaken

ing him and showing Santa to the doubter, was most excellent. Miss" Hadley has a fine voice for anything of this kind and her work was appreciated by all. She was forced to respond to a hearty encore. Mr. Reeves as Santa Claus, was truly a real for sure old Kris Kringle, the part being well suited to him. His solo telling the children of his travels and of why he comes to see boys and girls each year, was a charming affair and added much to the success of the event. Music was furnished by an orchestra. Miss Ruth Yeo who has studied

New Hochelle, N. Y., is busy with plans for a new library to cost $100.000, and there is a pretty controversy over whether a gift from Andrew Carnegie of $60,000 toward the fund should be accepted. Many citizens, it is said, believe that tbe city should pay the entire cost.

The Kind You Have Alwayc Bought. THIS is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that has been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. H. Fletcher for over 80 years the genuine Castoria. We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his Bumature in black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the past years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but our present duty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of introducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged tn the nefarious business of putting np and selling all sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed counterfeits, for medicinal preparations not only for adulte, but worse yet, for children's medicine. It therefore devolves on the mother to serotinus closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves, but the child has to rely on the mother's watchfulness. f J S r-fJm Genuine Castoria always bears the signature AMf7ZUCA44
