And the thought of little children climbin' out of little bods With the Christmas candles'throwin' gold. en glory on their heads, And a-standin' like I've seon them all about the Christmas tree; There is memories a-plenty comes along the years to me. But no memories are sweeter than the memories that come 0[ the fur-oft Christmas mornin's and the children with their drums, Little childron tlppytooi, down the stairs in nighties white, Then a sudden rush an' clatter, and a squealin' of delight When they see the tree a-standin' in the J crispy Christmas dawn. And a look has made them certain that old Santa Claus is gone-. F'or although they write to Santa tellin' what theyd like to got They are always sort of skeered that they will find him there till yet When they're gottin' up so early; so they give a squeal to see That he's got his work all finished and has loft the Christmas tree. Children late years ain't been gettin' all they writ him for. For his work was interfered with by the horrors of the war; But the war is done and ended, and we've got to rise and go All the gaits for this here Christmas that we ever used to know; Dot to do our shoppin' early, and enough for years gone by: Sot to bring back Santa Claus and get the Christmas tree, an' try ro forget that there was hatred in the world, an' grior and tears; Dot to do our shoppin' now and brighten up the comin' years. -Judd Mortimer Lewis. CHRISTMAS ACTS AS TONIC, Happy and Exhilarating Mental Spirit U Has Good Effect on People, De Glare Medical Observers. Close observers in the ranks of the medical profession have noted one very Interesting fact concerning the Christ was season--that It generally has a good tonic effect upon their patients. In explanation of this the London Lancet says that since Christmas has come to be regarded as a time for good cheer, a universal feeling of con tentment and happiness is engendered I U at this time of joyousness, routine is for a while relieved, a certain fresh- U ness is given to the daily round, dif ferences of opinion are sunk, and a charitable spirit prevails. Is it, by the way, hoping for too much that theIU season of good fellowship should leave U some lasting effect upon the manners and methods of all? It may not he easy to trace exactly M why this sense of exhilaration and well-being conies with the advent of Christmas, for the psychological fac tors concerned are not simple. But the main point is that the mental state does everybody good, and the annual festivity is just as excellent an insti tution as the prescription of the physi elan which gives tone and vigor to the struggle in life's race. There is no need nowadays, thanks to the good sense of the people and the counsels of their medical advisers, to moralize about the evils of a stupid indulgence In food, alcohol and tobacco on a fes tive occasion such as the present. Practically everybody realizes the great physiological advantages of be lag wvise on a merry occasion and the disadvantages of being a foot. Many more persons than fornmerly1 feel where use ends and abuse begin, and they act sensibly accordingly ; and so far from It being a crime to make the season festive by enjoying, ona little extendedI scale perhaps, the creature comforts of life, some dtecldedl good is done to both the mental and physical health of the individual. The festive season may. therefore, be welcomed which brings cheek' to thousands, which Induces the generous and charitable to brace the mental and p~hysical functituis of the commtmity at large, givIng It the opportunity of relinquishing its business and irs wor ries for a time, to start again re freshed and ready for "the trivial round, the comnmon task." The pre-i' scription "A Merry Chbristmas" is sound so long as the "signature" of4 good sense is observed.4 ESPECIA.LY AFTER CH RISTMAS.
