And old gobbler gobbled and gobbled beeause Nextday was Christmas and old Santa Claus Would gobble blra up If he stayed where he was. For a fact. Then he put up hls gobble and made up hls ralnd That some hlgher and safer place he mus flnd, For to partwlth bis gobble he was not Inclined, Notmuch. So he called bis old hen as a good gobbler ■hoaldj And told herthey better sklp out lor the wood, For next day was Christmas, so he'd understood, And they'd do 'em. Then he gave a gobble aud she gave a qult, And out to the wild woods this old couple lit To flnd a good place where they safely could Bit. And gobble. A place satisfactory they very soon bond, On a button wood tree high up from the ground. Then the old gobbler wlnked and sald we're all sound, You bet." Butnowthls old gobbler could not hold hls clack And when Santa Claus gobbled, why he gobbled back, And soon old Kris Klngle was on to thelr track, Withagun. And now these old turkeys are down on the bill Of a grand Christmas dlnner In a house on the hil!. Because ho could not keep hlsoldgobhle still, He was gobbled. Mobal- Whenjyou hide, don't coop. Speaker Reed has divided up tlie chairniansliips of the committees in a way that lie deemed best íor legisla tion. Michigan gets three minor committee chairmanships occupied by Aitken, Linton and Thomas ; the great west gets 19, with Iowa far in the lead, Ohio and Indiana íaring Itadly ; IS'ew York secures ten good ones ; Pennsylvania eight ; and the soutli two. Illinois gets the ifrst committee - Foreign affairs ; then Maine two- Ways and lleans, and Rules ; then comes Illinois again with Appropriations ; Massachusetts with Banking and Currency ; Pennsylvania with Coinage, etc. Representativo Spalding, of tliis district, goes on the commi'ttee on Banking and Currency, which is a good one, and also on the Militia committee. It is certain that the east has come out ahead taking all things into consideration, whi'e somo of the great states are almost entirely ignored. The criticism is made that some southern republican could with propriety have been given the chairmanship of the committee ob the Mississippi river levees, instead oi a New York man, but probab'y Speaker Reed knowe his own businees well as those who seek to be his critics.
