FOR THE CHILDREN Playing Santa Claus. Once Peter and Patty and Polly Went out for a ride on the trolley. A quarter anti dime Each had at the time To spend on some sweet Christmas foil) Polly and Patty said, \Candy.\ While Peter, a bit of a dandy, Decided to buy A dainty necktie To make himself look snick end spandy And then—on the corner stood Molly, Thin, ragged and quite melancholy \ And sobbing aloud In the hurrying crowd, For she'd fallen and broken her dolly. Stiehl& poor little midget they thought her That right up between them they caught her. To a toy shop they went, Every penny they spent, And a lovely new dolly they bought her What a Christmas thing! and so jolly. That Peter and Patty and Polly, All out for good times With their quarters and dimes, Should have chosen to spend them on Molly! —St. Nicholas. Game of Occupations. Each chooses some kind of work to do, calling it out so ell can hear. Theu the leader begins a story—for example, \I went out today, but just as I came through the kitchen I Haw our cook\— Here the player who has chosen to lie a cook steps forward and goes through some cooking motions. saying, \What was she doing?\ If the leader finds out In three guesses the cook goes back to her place. If not she becomes leader and goes on with the story. That will, cf course. be made to suit the occupations and may proceed something like this: \I went down the steps and walked to the corner, where there was a carpenter buoy at—, and on a roof across the street a plumber was\— And 80 on. The breaks are filled, as previous described. Most oc- cupations are such that to perform their duties requires many motions. The cook can be kneading bread or grinding coffee. For this reason three guesses are necessary. The Yule Log. The Yule log is a great log of wood, sometimes the root of a tree, brought Into the house with great ceremony on Christmas eve. laid in the fireplace and lighted with the brand of last year's log. While it lasts there are great sing- ing, drinking and telling of tales. ! Sometimes it is accompanied with Christmas candles. but in the cottages the only light is from the glow of the I log. The Yule log is burned all the night, and if It dies out it is considered a sign of great ill luck. The Yule log is yet burned in many farmhouses of England. particularly in the north, and there are ninny superstitions conneeted with it. If a squinting person comes into the house while It is burning or a person barefooted it is considered- a bad omen. The brand remaining from the Yule log is carefully put away for next year's Christmas Ore. Meanings of Flowers. Here are some of the flowers with their meanings: Rose, love and Joy; rosebud, youth fulness; poppy. consolation in sickness: sage, esteem; scarlet fuchein. taste; scarlet nasturtium. splendor; snapdrag- on, presumption: snowdrop, consola- tion; sunflower, false riches; strawber- :y. perfection; sweetbrier, poetry; sweet pea, delicate pleasure; sweet wit- liam. craftiness: sytinge. memory; Gila_ tie, surliness: tiger lily. pretension; tei lip, dtelaration of love; violet. modesta ; water Illy, purity; wood anemone, sick- ness: wormwood, ntetence; white Jas- mine. amiableness; weeping willow, mourning; wheat. riches; quince, tem- pest; Mite tree. boldness. A Christmas Game. All the players except one, who is blindfolded, sit in a circle on the ground or on chairs. The blindfolded one wnlks around outside the circle, singing: Who can tell what I'm looking for, Something I want to lInd? Is it north or south or east or west? Please help roe, for I'm blind. Then the singer stops, and the one behind whom he stands must answer in a concealed voice the name of some article. The blindfolded player must guess who the speaker is or try again. If he guesses aright that player mud take his place. Mistletoe. The mistletoe Is intimately connected with ninny of the superstitions of the Germans and the British. In the north- ern mythology Balder is said to have been slain by it spear minks from a' branch of mistletoe. The mistletoe is s till h ung up in (arm bruises and kitch- ens at Christiana and the young men have the privilege of kissing the girl Under R. plucking each time a berry from the bush. When the berries are all plucked the privilege ceases. Flower Basket. Let each player choose the name of a flower, no two being alike. Then the hostess stands in the center of the cir- cle of choirs on which the players are Rented end calls sonic flower name three times quickly.

O'Hair, Who De- feated Uncle Joe Cannon. • '' When last fall the Democrats of the Eighteenth Illinois district began cast- ing about for a candidate to pit against Joseph G. Cannon they found little en- thusiasm among would be legislators to cross swords with that redoubtable campaigner. Remembering Uncle Joe's record of nineteen terms at Washing- ton, broken only in 1890, when he was defeated for the Fifty-second congress, aspirants grew faint hearted. Finally Frank T. O'Hair of Paris, Edgar coun- ty, was induced to enter the race. At first he was reluctant; but, once In the tight. be began a campaign that result- ed in the downfall of Mr. Cannon. He proclaimed himself a progressive Dem- ocrat and started In with no strings tied to him. What he did to Uncle Joe is now a matter of history. For- getting the prestige of his illustri- ous opponent, he went forth among the farmers of the district and told them why Uncle Joe should be retired anti a new man sent to represent the district in congress. And he won. Frank T. O'llair is a native of Edgar county, where be was born forty-two years ago in it log cabin. Ile is of Irish parentage, and his boyhood days were spent on a farm in a remote country district. After a course in the public schools he entered Purdue university, where he took the law course, and on admittance to the bar began practice in Paris.

In 1892 he was it candidate for mayor of Paris against his prospective father -In-law. D. I). Huston, tether of the girl he hoped to wed. was his Republican op- ponent. 8011 the battle was bitterly waged.
