that yc receive them, and ye shall
have them" was everywhere verified
until the empire Of the saint over the
hearts and minds Of the children was
more absolute than Caesars.
However much the popular faith in
modern theology may be shaken up,
the realm of good st. Nicholas will
not be the least disturbed by their
widest connections, so long as the
good saint himself continues to make
gift-laden visits to the homes of
childhood, Enthroned in the hearts
of successive generations of children,
this deathless monarch has flourish
ed in perennial vigor, while the
mighty empire of the Caesars has
passed away ''like the bascless fabric
of Il dream" He has preserved his
beautiful sway and extended his en-
pire over
Regions Caesar never knew,
Where his eagles never flew,
while the war god with the iron hand
of battle has smitten to the dust the
haughtiest potentates and ovcrturn-
cd the the loftiest states.
After the memory Of the brightest
saint in the calendar may perhaps
have faded away and become mere
tradition Of the past, the beloved st.
Nicholas. wreathed in garlands Of
child's love, bids fair to continue tt
reign in undimmed splendor until th'
advent of that other Christmas morn
ing when he viii hail the advent o
the Christ child as the king in hi'
glory.

Judge Gary has always had an es-
pecial dislike for men who try to
shirk jury service on flimsy excuses,
and a number of good stories are told
of experiences that venremen have
had with him. A little German once
tried to get out of jury service on the
plea that he could not speak good
English.
you'll not have to speak at all, /"
said the judge.
"Wcll, shudge, | don't tink l make
a good shuror, anyhow" persisted the
Juror. AT
"Why not?'
"Well," with a motion, toward the
attorneys in the case. II don't under
derstand nodings dose fellers says"
"Neither does anybody else. Sit
down !" thundered the Judge.
Another Juror put in a sick excuse.
"Have you anything from your doc

doctors certificate was handed up to

"Tllat's. a good DOCTOR" said the
judge.
"Onc OF the best in the city," re.
piled the juror.

Of the work for the past seven years.
Out OF such simple hospital work
as this has grown a knowledge OF the
needs of such institutions.
Many causes have led these women
to raise funds to cndow bens, to build
new wings and chapels, to furnish
diet kitchens and to raise money to
train nurses, both for hospitals and
for outside work, and to extend the
care given In such institutions to
multitudes OF homeless among the
sick and suffering poor.
Hardly any class OF people has been
forgotten in its ministrati0ns. 1t
helps the missionaries in foreign
fields, and the Indians on our own
vast plains, striving TO reach the lat
ter through the literary bureaus and
the facilities furnished by the various
Indian organizations. 1t has always.
shown special interest in the care Of
the aged and of little children, many
Of whom it has helped to rescue,
through the Fresh Air societies and
other agencies, from the sweltering
heat of our city in the summer and
the misery OF pauper life in winter.
1t is chiefly due to the conseerateR
labors of the officers of the interna-
tional order that the great work has
been accomplished.
The work of the order as at first
contemplated did not include
branches Of men and boys, but, as iG
progressed from SO many individuals
and groups came requests to be in
cluded that in 1887 the order opened
its lists to the Sons as well as the
Daughters OF the King.
Although the growth of this por-'
tion Of the order has been less rapid
than that Of the sister association.
still 1t has done most effective work.
There are innumcrablc circles OF lit
tic boys under the charge of older wO-
men. There are many circles of young
sons under the charge Of those who
are trying to emulate the example Of
the great elder brother.
In many places the men and boys
have enlisted simply to stand behind
and encourage and cooperate with
the work of the order in the places
where women are making great eff
forts In one or another direction.
The Kings Daughters are RESPONSE
Bile only to the King for their choice
of field of labor; Hence In all details
relating to work, there is the largest
liberty. The object is not to cumber
the service with needless Organiza-
tion, but to unite women willing or
: eager to do the masters work In a
way to secure to each the sympathy
and cooperation Of all, and to induce
all to widen the circle of usefulness
by drawing into it constantly more
and more hands to work for humani'
ty, and more and more hearts to love
the king.
The general work Is in charge OF the
central council, which is composed u
members Of the ''Original circle, with
additional members elected at subse-
quent regular business meetings.
The officers Of the central council are
the officers of the general society.
Any person may become member OF
the order whose aims are in accord
with its objects, and who holds her.
self responsible to the King, our Lord
and Savior, Jesus Christ.

CHRISTMAS ApHoRIsMs. = Christ
mas is a day to form good resolutions.
1t is easier TO form them on that or
any other day than to keep them for
a single month.
Christmas has gradually evolved
out OF its theology and has come to
stand for d festival Of love. Theres
fore all men lave it, for throughout
the universe love is born Of love and
is worshiped for its own sake.
No conscientious person cam
enjoy his Christmas dinner II he
knows anybody else within reach to
be hungry. The consciousness. that
VIC have given food to the needy pro-
yides us with the finest appetite.

Avoca (Ncw York Advance,

Avoca (Ncw York; Advance,
My dear reader have you ever stop
ped To think when you are criticising
the editor that he is a man in some
Instance like other people. He usu-
ally tries to do his best, yet his ways
may not be your Ways. He respects
his friends, appreciates your kindness
and good word. You have always
found him ready to return a favor, Of
tcntimcs returning good for evil. lie
will not always continue to pat man
on the back and proclaim what a
good and prominent citizen he is,
how muth he has done for the people
about him. He does not feel like
putting a man who ssnarling and Bit
ing at his paper every chance he gets.
You will always see him stick to a
man who sticks to him. You will see
the man who always hangs back and
never makes a start for himself kick
when the editor, in the good fellow
ship feeling, puffs some other fellow
who has been working for the good of
the people round about him. Have
you ever thought what a rumpus
there would be if tie paper should al
ways contain the feelings Of the edi-
tor, or If he criticised as he is criti-
cised. A newspaper man is little
different from other men his busi-
ness makes him so. He makes it his
study to say all the gooi things about
those around him and to say as few
Of the bad things as he can. If you
don't get the pulTs you think you
should have come in and tell the edi.
tor about it, and you will find him
ever willing to proclaim to the world
your good deeds II they are worthy OF
it. Don't stand back with a chosen
few and snarl and bite and tell what
a mean cuss he is. You may want
his help sometime or you may die and
then want an obituary he may write
