How the Hardy Mountaneers Observe the
Day.

How the Hardy Mounfaineers Observe the
Day.
AS in majority of the continental
nations of Europe the people of Switzer-
land celebrate New Years rather than
Christmas in social way. The birth
day of the Saviour is given over to
religious observances by the older peo-
pie. In the churches masses are said
and the usual midnight service ushers
in the great day. For the little ones
Christmas is a season for rejoicing.
The French, German and Italian speak
ing Swiss have all borrowed from the
Germans the idea of the Christmas
tree. 1t is lit up on Christmas eve and
freighted with toys and sweets for the
toddlers. But the older youths and
is strictly children's day. On New
Years the gift-malling is in order and
general hilarity is the order of the day.
The schools are closed for brief
period ard the families of Switzerland
gather together about their firesides.
A great dinner, to which the friends
having no homes of their own to go to
are invited, is the feature of the occa-
sion.
Here in the western metropolis the
Swiss follow the American custom and
make their presents on Christmas day
and generally observe it as the princi-
pal holiday of the year. On New
Years they simply pay visits and give
expression to their friendship and good
will.-San Francisco Chronicle.

THE HEART OF CHRISTMAS.
How to Make the Holiday just What 1t
Ought to BE.


Merry Christmas, friendl | do not
mean especially that you shall have a
merry Christmas as much as that YOU
shall make it merry, by giving some
one who is out of the sunshine and in
the shadow generous slice of Christ
mas cheer. Then your food will have
something in its flavor it never had be-
fore-a rich, full cup of sunshine to
warm the cookies of your heart.
To begin with, you must believe in
the Christmas Child that founded
Christmas. Ifyou find this hard to do.
make believe as hard as you ever can
and special dispenSation of belief
will be measured out to you. And YOU
must believe in Santa Claus, reindeer,
roof-tree, chimney and all. If you have
brought up your children on the prac-
teal plan and told the poor things
that they needn't hang their stockings
in the chimney corner, because there
wont be any Santa Claus, | am sorry
for you. just throw away that potato
you carry in your pocket to keep off
rheumatism-it is a much greater and
more foolish superstition than Santa
Claus. And that brings me to story
which l will write for the sake of illus
tration:
Farmer Blank didn't believe in
Christmas nonsense in his house
wasn't going to let his boys spend a
cent for any such fooliShneSs, not he.
But he did love those dear, chubby
little twins that made the sunshine of
his house, only he loved his own big
oted opinions more.
He had gone to the city few nights
before Christmas and his wife had
asked him to buy some toys for the
twins, and a few picture books and
some oranges and candy to put in their
stockings. But when he turned his
horses heads homeward that night he
had none of those things-he wasn't
going to spoil his boys.
twas not late. but dark when Farmer
Blank drove into his yard and saw a
bright light in the barn. Tim, the
hired man." thought Mr.. Blank
But no. He looked through the win
dow and this is what he saw:
One of the twins was representing
the babe in the manager. He was lying
in the hay, dressed in a white night
gown, his lovely eyes closed, his
dear little hands clasped, and candles
burning beside him, their flame within
easy reach of the tons of hay that
pressed down from above.
Ehe other twin was praying:
|'Please, God, make papa believe in
Santa Claus, SO he will come here
Christmas like he does at other little
boys houses-Amen."
The twins We're awfully frightened
when their father dashed into the
barn, caught them up in his arms and
carried them straight into the house
before he returned to put out those in
cendiary candles.
The next day Farmer Blank went to
town again, and he must have seen
Santa Claus and made it all right with
him, for the stockings We're filled to
overlooking on Christmas morning.
And the twins were not happier than
the big foolish man who followed them
about with tears in his eyes, and
thanked God for the children, without
whom it would have been sorry

My own life has been particularly

SUMMONS Clear,
Message of hope, despair to quell,
Is borne upon your silvery swell
King, bells of cheer, across the snow
Till with courage faint hearts glow.
Hath friend seemed faithless, love grown cold?
Hast lost that wand of magic gold?
Saddest of all, hath death snatched one
Whose presence was to thee life's sun?
Yet look not back. The darkest cloud
But serves an azure sky to shroud.
Thy friend his fealty vet may prove,
Love that could change was neUer love,
And folly twere lost wealth to mourn,
While tickle fortunes wheel doth turn,
Grim death, though conqueror of clay,
Bows TO a mightier Conqueror's sway.
Thy loved one hath but crossed Time's sea-
10 its fair Shore-Eternity.

the situation with the U. s. District At

Mr.. Geary is of the opinion that the
administration will proceed to enforce
his measure. He believes that all Chi
nese in San Francisco could be deport-
Cd for sum not exceeding $l5 per
head. "And I have no doubt that ar
rangements could be made for their
passage to China" he said, "without
chartering many vessels or without
the use of the naval force of the United
States.n On leaving the federal Off
Gals Mr.. Geary visited the Office of
Chief of Police Crowley and the de-
portation of Chinese was again discuss

have the police act with the federal
officials in making arrests when word
