WAX CANDLE
By ALICE LE BARON
Copyright 1D03 by American Press Asso
ciation
NCE upon a time two little can
dles lay side by side In a bi
box Hotii were pure white
Said one 1 wonder what
will become of us Do you think we
could be meant for a Christmas tree
For you must know that to be put on
a Christinas tree is the best possible
thin that can happen to a candle
Of course not said the oilier who
was cross- If we are meant for a
Christmas tree It will be for some
shabby little children see if it Isnt
If we are said the lirst Ill shine
my very brightest for the eyes of even
poor children with only few pleasures
in prospect are enough to rival little
caudhs on Christinas eve
If we are grumbled the second I
am not sure that I will allow myself
to I lighted at all
Christmas eve drew nearer and near
er Sure enough the two little can
dles with many others of blue and
pink and yellow and red were bought
for a Christmas tree
On the day before Christmas while
It still was daylight some young girls
came to arrange the presents and make
the tree ready for the evening
Oh what a lot of pretty little can
dies said one of them They are
such lovely colors all except those
two white ones We will put those
out of sight because the red and pink
ones are prettier
Didnt I tell yon what would hap
pen said the cross little candle in a
whisper
Yes but wait replied the other
Just shine your brightest all the
time
I wont snapped the cross one
When evening came ranged all
round the tree were happy boys and
r 3
put it on rns mv tifioi
i
girls Soon every bough on the great
tree blossomed witii little lights Some
of the flames were faint but many
were bright When the little white
candles were lighted the cross one
just sputtered a minute and then
went out The other shone so brightly
that a gentleman standing near said
Oh what a brilliant caudle But it
is almost out of sight among the green
branches We ought to put it where
it can be seen better
Put it on the very tiptop said a
little lady
And that is where they did put it
on the very tiptop of the tree where
it nodded and gleamed in answer to
the smiling faces around It
The Barbers Joke
Christmas morning and the barber
very busy
Id rather shave ten Germans than
one American
The rubicund brewer in the chair
smiled broadly through the lather
Goot he chuckled Dot vos
right But vy
The barber took a firmer hold upon
his victims nose as he replied
Ten Germans pay me a dollar and
a half one American only 15 cents
And you could have heard the ther
mometer drop
Popcorn
If Santa Claus has corns the same
as grandpa said a wee girl the other
day I tink hed be fraid to come
down the chimney over a hot fire for
fear his corns would pop
Santa Claus Revenge
Belated comes advice tonight
That without proper cause
Two foolish boys went on a strike
Against old Santa Claus
They sent him written word that he
Must take two trips a year
The first an early one to see
What children wanted here
They said his work of late was bad
They criticised his taste
They said it mude them very sad
Those presents gone to waste
They asked him why he thought a boy
Would want a Teddy bear
They said it seemed ne could employ
Much better judgment there
They wrote him frankly what they
thought
A protest in each line
They told him that they thought he ought
To sell out and resign
They covered reams of paper then
To tell him what to do
The how the which the what the when
They carefully went through
And then tbay told him what to bring
For each boy in their town
And for tneiuteves Oh everything
Was just vhat they put down
They thought the saint was far too old
To understand their scheme
And each one bought a bag to hold
Their presents it would seem
But when they woke on Xmas morn
With What did Santa bring
Why just as sure as you are born
H hadnt left a thing
