the ''boss dog" Of the family drew this sled
about for hours, while his 'little sister, rode
upon 1t. Later the owner gave one Of his
dogs to the son Of ncighbor, who put a
leather collar round his neck and tied him in

THE CHRISTINA Slide.

The Christmastide is replete with
-holv memories and enn-ahliagg inspira=
tons. It comes with perennial fresh
ness, and is always invested with sacred
associations. The triumph of the joyous
festival over gloomy asceticlsm on the
one hand and skepticism and inditfer-
ence on the other, is one of those evil
dent facts whose significance cannot be
overlooked. The obser vance of the day
is rapidly becoming universal, and that
household is an exception into which
the festival does not bring some touch
of tender Christian sentiment. There
is no authentic history of the origin Of
Christmas. A tradition, the first no.
tice of which Is found in the writings
of st. Augustine, who was born A. d..
354, declares that it was very early an
established custom. Its institution
has been attributed to Telesphorus, a
Bishop Of Rome A. d. 12S-139O, but
the first certain traces of it are found
during the reign OF Commodus CA. D..
1S0-192.) The celebration, however,
during the early years of the church,
was subject to many interruptions. It
is said that during the reign of Diocle-
ton ca. D. 2s4-3O5). he ordered a
church filled with Christian worship
pers to be shut up and destroyed by fire,
because he learned that they were cele-
bratlng therein the birth of Christ with
