by the least bit OF inquiry, shows a large
number OF guests who are thinking OF

II don't often spend Christmas away
from home, said the Judge, regretfully,
last night. II am very sorry that necessary
business will keep me in Washington for a
few days and over the holiday season.
Yes, the home people will miss me to-
morrow, know; at least, Mrs. MontgoiIlery
seemed to think so when l came away.

CHRISTMAS ON THEFARM.
las II hoy was brought up ON a farm,
and Christmas i'll the country, as knew it
in boyhood, has a peculiar charm which
cannot be experienced anywhere later In
life. Thanksgiving is not SO important a
holiday iii Michigan as IL is III New Eng
land, OF course, but Christmas is made much
off,
Judge Montgomery dweIt on the subject

which apparently came from u longing To
celebrate 1t in happier manner than Will

He is only fourteen years old. -s-a
We'll, would like TO be in New York
today" he said this morning, for my
home is there, If it's anywhere. 1 know
a good many people there, and some OF them
are intimate friends.
.'Still, it don't make much difference;
I've knocked around the world SO much
that one place Is about the same an
other. 1t isn't SO much the place. but II is
little tough not to see your very best
friends on Christmas Day. My idea is
that this Is the time when we want to he
with those we care most for. What is il
about peace and good Will? That's iust
my idea.
