An English Christmastide Custom.

In Staffordshire, England the children
when hanging up their stockings on
Christmas eve repeat the following
rhyme addressed to the good fairy Of
Christmas, believing that it will infalli-

they most desire:
Christmas fay of Christmas day.
Let me wish what wish may.
If think, with love, of you
You will make M wish cOme true.

OLD CHRISTMAS SONGS.
Familiar but Reverent Treatment Of the
Sacred-Words of a Simple Folk.


Familiar but Reverent Treatment Of the
Sacred-Wortls of a Simple Folk.
For the most part the old songs speak
with the voice Of poverty appealing to
wealth, and so it is not strange that
Christs humble birth should be dwelt
upon. On that ground at least the sup
plicants seem to feel their nearness to
the Man of Sorrows who had nowhere
to lay his head. The ever recurring plea
to the rich to give aims of their goods
''gifts of the days gladness"-is a re-
minder Of the one who .'came not to be
ministered unto, but to minister" The
familiarity with which sacred things are
touched is not irreverence, but rather
the innocent freedom of the child to
whom God seems kind father and Jesus
a gentle elder brother.
The holy names are almost always
coupled with some adjective expressive
Of affection - ''sweet Jesus" "Mary
midland the pretty Cornish carol tells
how the Virgin was called Modryb
Marya, 'our dear Aunt Mary" by the
people on the lamar side. The honest
Christian must often feel inclined to
avert his face from the asperities, CON
troversies and prosecutions of warning
creeds, but in these strains that survive
from an age that is past we find only the
loving and tender side of religion-the
words Of simple folk who were not
afraid to creep close to the Fathers knee
and lay hold upon his robe.
In many Of these old songs the good
cheer peculiar to the day is dwelt upon,
with frank delight which reminds one
of the child's innocent joy of anything
sweet in the mouth" Thus runs one
exultant strain:
o you merry, merry souls,
Christmas is a-coming.
We shall have flowing bowls,
Dancing, piping, mumming.
The materialistic bard waxed enthusi-
astic over
The larders full of beef and pork,
The garners filed with corn,
and each stanza of one of the carols
winds up with the appetizing burden,
'Plum pudding, goose, capon, mince pie
and roast beef" Father Christmas was
esteemed as entering like a man."
WASu dIHl0O Will Sp1G anu Orlpp1Qg-
PAN" After year of hard work and
hard living the poor folk looked forward
to lavish feast, and it is small wonder
that their minds dwelt chiefly upon such
dainties as
Delicate minced pies
To feast every virgin;
Capon and goose, likewise
Brawn and dish of sturgeon.
From Seedlings -"Ancient Christmas
Carols" is taken Masters, In This Hall'-
one Of the quaintest and most pleasing of
the lays that were sung by the Yuletide
minstrels in the days Of old:
To Bethlehem did they go, the shepherds three,
To Bethlehem did they 60, to see whe'r it were
or no,
Whether Christ was born or no,
To set men free.

Heigho, the Winterl The bluff old fellow,
In meadow and field he roars amain.
The maple that late was deck'd In yellow

Thy dainty hood for thy golden head,
And out in the frosty air Well trip it
And over the stubble gayly tread.

And the mistletoe-now, by my folly,

A maid who was quite CONNIE il faut,
Said "Cahn't'' and "Ah, don't you knout3''
Looked round with a smile
On scads by the pile,
And she never had lack of a baut.
There was once young dude, quite au fai
In what he should do or should salt,
Concluded he'd drop
On fine tailor shop,
But the tailor insisted on pait.
There was once young man from Rouen
Who wanted to sing short sen,
But the people said nay

And hustled the young man allen.
There was once young girl from Paris.

And soon was the rage

How many memories gather round the sound
OF bells. those silver monitors to usl
Whilom they peal dire dangers, and tho
ground
Trembles to tramp Of feet fear furious;
Whilom they toll above some burial mound.
Again, they summon souls to praise or prayer;
They mingle In with music when it plays
Melodious, so that all Of life seems fair,
Or tinkle dimly in the covert ways
Where wethers lead the flock that is their care.
Whilom at sea they hoarsely boom, ana fright
The good ships from the rocks: on land they
,ta'l
The q. o. day BY morning, noon and night,
Chime o er the sleeping city, all is well.
Or bid the folk be up with early light.
But where be bells so buoyant, sweet and
strong
Upon the air AS these of Christmas time?
So fraught with precious meanings Is their
song,
So swelling with a hope and joy sublime.

BOLD BAD THIEVES
Two Men Rob q Railroad Treasurer
In the Rookery Building at
Chicago.
Their Victim, J. A. Drake, Beaten
Into Insensibility by the
Bandits.
Said That The Amount Secured Is at
Least Twenty Thousand
Dollars. ~

CHICAGO, Nov. 18.-J. A. Drake,
treasurer of the Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa railroad, was assaulted in his Office
in the Rookery building and robbed OF
many thousands Of dollars which he had
packed in a valise preparatory to going
out upon the road to pay employees.
A mail carrier, in passing Mr.. brakes
Office, heard q noise within, and upon
entering found the official lying upon
the floor, bruised and in a semi-conscious
condition.
''Tve been robbed by two men" said
Mr.. Drake feebly, and the open safe,
overturned valise and scattered papers
confirmed his statement.
Received Rough Treatment.
Mr.. Drake had evidently received
rough treatment. Big welts OF his head
bore evidence of savage blows He had
but little to say, but the sum of $25,ooo
was mentioned as missing, and 1t
was soon understood that the
robbers hal made away with
that amount. Soon the news OF
the robbery had spread through the
big office building and all kinds of wild
tales were circulated. The Central sta
ton detectives were notified and In
spector Shea's men put to work ON the
case. The assaulted treasurer was able
to get on his feet in a few hours and left
the building. The employees were very
reticent and did not want to say much,
although admitting that a robbery had
occurred. "' ~ IS 9'-
The assault occurred about q o'cloeb
when there were but few people in the
building. No one about the place re-
members of having seen suspicious char
acters and dense mystery surrounds The
affair, which is n of the boldest rob
berries that has occurred in Chicago fo
years. .''
Little to Work On. \ W.
The result of a long conference be
tween officials of the road and Inspector
Shea threw but little light on the mat
ter. The detectives have but little Il
work on, and just at present are gropins
about in the dark.
Mr.. Drake came down early" sale
Inspector Shea, ''to ecure money to pa.
off along the line. He took $20,0 600 from
the safe, intending to leave on the 7:3'
train. He was followed from the ofic'
by two ordinary looking men and strucl
down and the $20, 200 taken. He wa
struck ON each temple, and his hea'
bears the marks of the blows" 4
Have You amy clue to work on?'
"Um! Well, it shows that the peopl
who committed the robbery were wei
acquainted with Mr.. brakes movement
and knew the day he would leave wit
money TO paw off"
