An’ ceuse your whiskers ell stick out
So funny ’round your fsce.
Oh, no, there ein’t the leestest doubt,
'Ceuse here’s the very piece
Thet mamma said I’d find you et
Exactly tw-e-e-lve at night.
An’ soe it's mighty lucky thet
I hear it strike, ell right.
You’ll have to ’sense me’cause I’ve got
Only my nightie on;
I had to hurry ’cause I thought
Maybe you might be gone.

Last Christmas I was awful small,
An’ when I went to bed
- I couldn’t stay awake «t~eH— ^
Oh, such a sleepy head!
, Rut^thao, J.guftaa you'aejust as glad
To sea n|g tnnight.
’Cause I ain’t ever awful
bad,
So everything’s all right.
Where did you leave your reindeer
—say?
I didn’t hear the bells.
Up on the roof? Well, anyway,
„When Tommy has his “spells”
He says the awflest things he can
An’ makes me mad, because
He says there ain’t no reindeer, an’
There ain’t no Santa Claus!
Yes, that’s my stocking qver there—
I knew you’d surely come;
Tommy hung up that bag—’tain’t fair,
But then, he wants a drum;
You’ve got such heaps of things that
you
Will fill ’em bothy an’ more; .
Well, then, I’ll tell you what to do—
Just put ’em on the floor;
You’ll have to write the names on
each.
An’ don’t miss on eat all,
Or else that Tommy—he’s a peach—
Will surely get ’em all!
Oh, there’s a humming top—an’
there—
A truly gun that shoots;
An’—say! Why, Santa, I declare,
You’ve got on daddy’s boots!

CARD OF THANKS
We the members of Niagara Tribe
No. 52, Improved Order of Red Men,
do express our thanks and apprecia
tion to Rev. Edward Long for
the splendid and appropriate ser
mon that he preached to us on last
Sunday night at the First Baptist
church, and for the splendid music
that the choir gave us. Also for the
solo by Miss Emmie Robertson, which
was highly enjoyed. We look. for
ward to the time when we can be with
you again.
Niagara Tribe No. 52.
teen I became engaged to a man who
was flen years my senior. As I was so
young, he thought it would be. a wise
plan to wait until Lwas older. He
said he wanted me to be sure of what
I wanted before I married him. He is
a fine man. I admire and respect
him more than any other man I have
ever known, but now, after three
years, I don’t want to marry him. It
is just within the last few months
that I feel as I.do. I feel as though
I have missed something—I want to
meet other men.
Our marriage has been set for
June. It is to be announced next
week. Once it has been announced
I will go through with it. Will I
be happy if I marry him ? In mak
ing other people happy, do we not
find our own happiness? Will I, in
making this man’s life wonderfully
full, find peace and contentment of
mind? EDNA.
My dear Edna: “DON’T DO IT. I
know of no greater injustice you could
do this man who loves you than to
marry him without love. You will not
only wreck your own life—you will
wreck his.
You speak of making him unhappy
by breaking off with him. You will
make him more unhappy eventually
by marrying him without love. You
cannot pretend a love you do not feel
for any great length of time. The
pain he will suffer when you tell him
you no longer love him is nothing
compared with what' he will suffer
when he learns of your deceit in pre
tending to love him.
When a woman marries a man she
does not love, there is but a small
possible chance that she will love him
after marraiage. That chance is one
in a hundred. On the other hand, the
chances are ninety-nine in a hundred
that she will fall in love with some
man not her husband.
If you were older—had known many
men, and married , a man without Jove,
it might be a success because of a
deep respect, admiration and under
standing. But 'ho normal girl can be
satisfied with self-sacrifice in mar
riage. She wants action—red-blood
ed and vital. She wants to feel the
joy of life for herself. She wants
to know love, romance, passion and
these you will not find by marrying
a man whohi you do not love.
People who marry with love find
it hard work to keep fropi falling
out of love. The disillusions that
come with marriage do not tend to
make a woman fall in love. The re
straints and sacrifices of marriage—
with conflicting wills and personali
ties, are more likely to make a man
or woman fall out of love.
I am inclined to think, Edna, that
perhaps it is lack .of courage that
keeps you from telling him how you
feel. Why not be quite frank about
it—tell him that you feel you should
first know many other men—in order
that you may be able to better judge.
You say that you have been very
happy for three years. You may
decide after you have known other
men that you care more for this man
than you possibly could care for any
one else. I believe if you explain
your problem to this man he will un
derstand, and he will have a deep
respect for your bravery in being
honest about it. He is older than you
and possibly understands better tlum
you think. '
The very fact that he was willing
to wait until you were old enough to
know your own mind suggests that
he will be willing to .giv$ you a bet
ter chance to know just what you
want before marrying anyone.
Jacobs, Jr.
