Antiquity of Christmas Tors.

The doll is thousands of years old /;
it has been found inside the graves of
little Roman children, and will be found
again by the areheologists of future
date among the remains of our own
culture. The children of Pompeii and
Herculaneum trundled hoops just as
YOU aad did, and who knows whether
the rocking horse on which we rode in
our young days is Lot 3 llneal descen-
dant OF that proud charger into whose
tanks the CHI idren oi Francis Is time

The drum is also lndestrdctlble, and
setting time at naught across the CEN

New Year summons that bids the tin
soldier prepare himself for war, and
shall continue to beat as long as there
exist boyish arms to WELD drumsticks,
and grown-up peoples ears to be deaf
ened by the sound thereof. The tin
soldier views the future with calm he
will not lay down his arms until the
day of general disarmament, and there
is, as yet, no prospect of universal
peace.
The toy Sword also stands its ground
it is the nursery symbol of the inera
dicable vice of our race-the lust for
battle. Harlequins, fool's-cap- p-crown
ed and bell ringing, are also likely to
endure; they are sure to be found

as long as there are fools to be found

mustached and top-booted, are all types
which still hold their own. The

rector and as the panther made q
dash to intercept the sleigh, it found
itself in too close proximity to the
strange-voiced phenomenon in the
pung, and sprang backward with an
angry snarl.
AS LOUIS breath failed from her dry
lips, the sleigh dashed out into the
open. A dog bayed angrily from the
nearest farmhouse, and the panther
stopped short on the edge of the wood.
I. The rector drove into the farm-yard,
and Old Jerry stopped, shivering as if
he would fall between the shafts
After the story had been told, and
Jerry had been stabbed and rubbed
down, the rector resumed his journey
with fresh horse, having no fear that
the panther would venture across the
cleared lands. Three of the settlers
started out forthwith, and following
the tracks in the new snow, succeeded
in shooting the wild besstaftsr chase
of two CT three hours
The adventure supplied the country
side eli that winter with theme for
conversation, and about Louis clarionet
there gathered halo of romance
that drew rousing congregations

music was to be heard every alternate
