DRIFTON ITEMS.
Politics are beginning to assume a
business-like appearance in this end of
the township than it has for some years
past. As far as our local alTairs are con
cerned, good generalship, with all the
strategem of an Indian combined, will
be necessary if we want to have any of
our residents' names to appear on the
official records of the township after the
February election. As a matter of fact
we comprise but a small portion of this
large township, but still it is of such im
portance that it cannot be overlooked,
even by the most popular men when
they want office. The citizens of the
various other communities claim that it
is unjust for our residents to be continu
ally howling for office, and at the same
time, nothing less than supervisor or tax
collector will in any manner appease our
political ambition, and that the old say
ing, "half a loaf is better than no bread,"
is unknown here. To the voters who
are in the habit of giving this out for
political gossip, we would say that our
residents are of a high-spirited nature,
and if they must eat bread that is donat
ed to them, as it were, it must be a whole
loaf or they will eat their own.

gotten np for cheap notoriety by making
a big fuss over it and then giving the
little ones live cents' worth of candy.

CHRISTMAS MUSIC.
VAST SUMS SPENT ON THE CAROL
ING PROCESSIONS LONG AGO.
In Italy tlio C'alubrlun Shepherds Come
Down from the Mountains to Greet the
Child JesuH with Soft. Sweet Notes.
Oncer Music of the Puritans.
To review even briefly the wonderful
Christmas singing and playing in the
Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth
centuries is beyond our limits; yet what
scenes, splendid, romantic and glowing
with life, form and color, mention of
those old pageants can summon upl Ac
count books of the day, preserved in the
British museum, show what vast sums
were spent upon them. Clieapside
Tower hill, Southwark, even forlorn
and fallen Whitechapel, were scenes of
such festivities. They wake to life as
wo read of the caroling processions of
the olden time; yet, as may well be im
agined, such redundant doings led to
excesses, and then authority had to step
in. Ministers and priests forbade much
that had been customary, while with the
Puritans came an absolute law against
even the singing of carols.
Queer droning music, tuneless and de
pressing, was that of Cromwell's choice,
yet here and there, in the homes of the
better classes, voices were not to be
silenced. Had they not the precedent of
the angels? As Jeremy Taylor says of
that first Christmas music, "As soon as
those blessed choristers had sung their
Christmas carol, and taught the church
a hymn to put into her offices forever on
the anniversary of this festivity, the
angels returned to heaven;" their earthly
message sung for all a waking Christian
world. Meantime in other lands the
people had caught up the song of the ua
tivity.
In Italy the music of Christmas day
for centuries was famous, the Sistine
chapel being historic for its work of
praise that great day, and from the
sweep of the"Benedictus"and "Magnif
icat" we reach the sweet soft notes of
those Calabrian shepherds, called Pif
ferari, who come down from the tnoun
tains to sing Christmas hymns from
place to place, visiting chiefly stables
where they have a tradition the Child
Jesus has passed by.
To dictate precisely what should and
what should not coustitute good Christ
mas singing is not possible, but of course
there are, as in every branch of tho di
vine art, certain guiding rules, the first
one being that all music appropriate for
the day should bo joyous and expressive
of thanks to God, while there are solemn
parts of every service of such thanks
giving, of course, as with every deep joy
is the "stillness" in heart and voice anil
utterance. No home but should have its
own festival of rejoicing, and let those
who seek for home harmonies search
only the nowels or carols of France, or the
h)'mns of those English writers who had
vast cathedral aisles to fill, yet contrived
to preserve an exquisito simplicity in all
their work.
Wo need to preserve every Christian
tradition dearly. If the yule log cannot
be lighted, yet from year to year we can
surely keep a fire of good will and cheer
and rekindle the old flame, as they who
have the yule are wont to do. In the
old times, after the Christmas dinner
had been enjoyed, the loving cup was
passed around, doors at one end of the
long hall were thrown open, and there
entered a company of perhaps fifty per
sons—guests of the host, humble men
and women and children, invited from
far and wide. After a word of welcome
all arose, and as with one voice sang
that most perfect of old Christmas
hymns, "With Hearts Truly Grateful.' j
Centuries ago other carols were sung
there, and, as now, a feast provided for
one and all, while tho question of rank
was for that day forgotten. Later, in
the orchards, the songs of the season
were 6ung—a tradition prevailing that
this insures a good crop for all during
the coming year.
Our theme is endless, yet it is em
bodied in one dominant idea. Whether
the notes of a great organ fill a cathedral,
whether tho humblest little band of
"waifs" go from door to door, there
should be one thought uppermost—we
sing the message of the angels, we praise
God, and our hearts should remember
that peace on earth is the glory of tho
day.—Lucy C. Lillie in Harper's Bazar
Hulled Turkey and Oyster Saure.
Boiled turkey should bo fixed exactly
like roast turkey, except that after being
trussed it is bound in a white cloth and
boiled continuously for from one hour
and a quarter to one and a half, accord
ing as its weight varies from six to ten
1 pounds. It is usually dished with oyster
I sauce. To make oyster sauce, save all
J the juice in opening the oysters; cut off
the beards and put them to boil in the
liquor, with a bit of mace and lemon
peel; put the oysters into cold water and
drain them; strain the liquor; add to it
the oysters just drained from the cold
water, with a lump of butter rubbed in
a little flour and enough milk to make
! the amount of sauce required. Put on
the fire and let it boil a few moments
j stirring constantly. Serve at once. A
: little squeeze of lemon is an improve
: ment. —Philadelphia Record.
