Do Some Act to Make It a Happy One for

 Scarcely less wonderful than the mystery of the first Christmas night is the mystery of the perpetuation of the festival. It is a far cry enough from the shepherds who tended their fiocks on the hillside of Judea, and the be- 1ieving kings who followed the star from the east, to, let us say, the aver age American citizen, and the modern rulers of kingdoms. Reverence and simple faith are not exactly the pre- vailing characteristics of the former, nor do the latter betray sufficient keen ness of interest in things supernal to warrant the supposition that they would leave their kingdoms and go forth laden with treasure, to follow a mysterious sign in the heavens. Yet withal Christmas brings its message to

Queer Ways of Giving Presents In the
 O1dcn Timcs-
 There used to be a custom in vogue many years ago in placing all the New Years gifts on the floor in a dark room where the recipients scrambled for them on their knees, and If they brought out other than their own they were fined certain sum which was to be expended in addition to the good cheer. Bags of bran and baskets of shavings were used to conceal the gifts in, and the whole process was made as difficult and amusing as possible. The custom of giving New, Years presents dates back to the Saxons, who kept the festival with great ceremony and feast ing. In the fifteenth century gloves were the most appreciated of any pres ents, being of the finest quality and handsomely decorated with gold and silver embroidery. A neatsurprise was sum of money inclosed in the gloves A lord chancellor of England, Sir Thomas Moore, had won difficult suit for lady client, and she remembered him on New Years day with a pair of gloves which had forty gold pieces sewed into them. Sir Thomas kept the gloves, but returned the money, saying that such lining made him un- fortable.-Detroit Free Press.

 night
 All seated on the ground" And straightway, from that blessed place My wandering fancies roam, Once more little child am I.
 Within my childhood's home; linear again my mothers voice, Her dear arms clasp me round. She sings how angel hosts "came down And glory shone around" The moonlight falls across the floor In bars of silver light. And many a merry sleighbell breaks The silence of the night.

B WAS Christmas Eve. and OCT the world x A mantle white was falling u When Santa Claus set out to do
 His yearly round of calling; The dear old saint rejoiced to see
 Apromise of good sleighing. For lots of snow was just what he
 A long time had been praying. So greatly pleased was he to see
 Such charming Christmas weather. That gayly to his task he flew
 Of getting things together. His ample sleigh was put to rights And loaded full to brimming, And soon along the country roads
 Old Santa Claus was skimming. Now here. now there. his sprightly deer With airy lightness darted. As fresh when miles and miles away As when they just had started. The fleecy flakes kept coming down. The rambling roadways hiding; Yet on and on they flew along
 Like shadows swiftly gliding. But ere his journey was quite OCT St. Nick met trouble dire; The roads kept filling up apace.
 The snow kept piling higher. And from his sight the earth was hid By flakes so thickly flying. He could not find the road at all.
 But still he kept on trying. Here was indeed for Santa Claus An awkward situation. And one that for the moment filled
 His mind with consternation; The kindly soul was sad with fear That on the morrow morning Some disappointed little friends
 His absence would be mourning. Stil trusting that kind Providence
 Would help him in his trouble. St. Nick his faithful reindeer steeds Their efforts urged to double; And often with cheering word
 The jaded beasts he aided. While on ahead through snowdrifts deep To find the road he waded. At length. amid the flying flakes.
 By chance old Santa sighted Not far away a signpost tall.
 Whereat he was delighted. The sign upon the post contained
 The welcome information That close at hand the road ran straight Unto his destination. With hope renewed the good old saint Along the roadway struggled; And soon he reached a sleeping town
 Which in valley snuggled. Here ended Santa's Christmas calls
 And here his sleigh he frightened. Then homeward quickly off he sped
 Ere Sol the landscape frightened. FRANK B. WEIGH

Poor Man.

One of the most melancholy sights In nature is a man trying to buy Christ mas present for woman. He knows in a vague way that the present must not be a pair of suspenders or shaw ing set, but when he comes to particu- larize the poor man lapses into perfect imbecility, and gives his sister the money and tells her to buy the present.
