CHRISTMAS GIVING.

A Custom That Comes From the Three
Wise Men Who Followed the Star.
OF course you need not be told of
the origin of presenting gifts at this
season of the year, The three wise
men who followed the star until 1T
remained stationary over the stable
in Bethlehem, and who, entering
the hovel wherein were the COW and
the ass, knelt down before the
beautiful Babe in the manger,
placed before him presents of
myrrh, frankincense and gold.
Their example is the example that
you follow to-day, 1887 years after
the Magi made obeisance to the
Child Jesus; and when you place
presents before the little ones who
are made in the image OF the Divine
Babe you are doing what was done
by the eastern kings; but remember
that to carry out their example to
the full, the babes in the managers
the little ones in hovels-must not
be forgotten.
Most of our Christmas customs
come from the German. Kris
Kringle is a legendary myth whose
origin is involved in much doubt
Formerly in the small villages Of
Germany the presents were sent tc
some one person, who, in higt
buskins, white robe, a mask and
an enormous flax wig, and known
as Knecht Rupert, went fro m house
f to house. He was received by thu
parents with great reverence, and,
calling for the children, presented
the gifts to them according to the
accounts of their conduct received
! from the parents. 1t appears a
highly probable that this custom
q gave rise to our present innumerabl'
legends about Santa Claus.-Phil

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-So far
nothing of very general interest has
been transacted by Congress, mat

acted upon. An adjournment will
be taken Saturday for the Christmas
holidays.

The -Carmack Case.
OF the several contested election
cases before the Election Commit
tees of the House, the one over
shadowing in interest all Others is
the Patterson -Carmack contest from
the Fifth Tennessee District, for the
reason that it is unlike all others in
that it is unique in its absurdity,
demagogic and unscrupulous in its
pOllJlcaL aspect, anu Que WulCh, ho
matter how it is settled, will con
firm the once respectable Josiah as
the most notorious political apOstate
of his day and time. That the case
has been prejudged is quite evident,
and, when the final contest comes
it will be matter of no surprise tC
see only the Republicans gathered
on Josiahs side and Carmack sup
ported by the lovers of Democracy.
1t is not thought this case will b'
, disposed of before next March
owing to the fact that the testimony
is complicated and voluminous ant
will absorb much time in the com
' mittee. There will also be warn
! time when the case is reported t.

l.. sumed covering the demands o

CHRISTMAS!
The Season of Mirth and Merriment
Almost Here.
The Beautiful Custom of Christmas
Giving-A Letter to Santa
Claus,
THE CHRISTMAS MORN.

Shining in the Christman sky
meets the human eye
While the church bells, sweet and slow,
Peal their JOY out down below,
On the far horizons hem
A hint of far off Bethlehem.
'Tis one softly luminous star,
Like that the magi saw afar
Bright holly and the mistletoe
Join us in the fireside glow,
And presents by the chimney side
Make lovely all the Christmastide.
To-day the hurrying world must pause.
The children look for Santa Claus,
While in the air the silver chimes
Recall the old Jud@an times.
The ringing bells and tokens say
That in stable, dim and gray,
The Light of All the World was born,
His bed a manger, rough, torlorn,
Where meek eyed oxen, with their hay,
Stood in trance almost OF grace
Before the sweet Madonna face,
And, half in awe and half in prayer,
Seemed to suspect some god was there.
This word will never cease to know,
Though centuries come and centuries
go,
The story of those ancient times,
The meaning of these Christmas chimes
Which come with their perennial grace
With blessing for the human race.
So what to us are ice and snow
Aud all the wintry blasts that blow
If on the sky's horizon hem
We see the star of Bethlehem?

"MOTHER" MCKINLEY DEAD.


She Passed Away in Canton Sunday
Morning at 2 O'Clock.
CANTON, o., Dec. 12.-The death
of Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley,
the aged mother of the President,
occurred shortly after2 o'clock this
morning. Almost two weeks had
elapsed since the stroke of paralysis,
which was at once pronounced fatal,
and the wonderful vitality which
had kept death at bay so long had
deluded the friends and relatives
into the belief that the aged woman
might, perhaps, recover, despite the
verdict of her physician; but unmis-
taxable signs of approaching disso-
luton were seen early yesterday
morning and at nightfall it was evil
dent that death must come before
morning.
President Mckinley, with his
wife and other relatives, was around
the death bed when the final scene
was enacted.
Mrs. Mckinley had lived to the
age of nearly 80 years, and, until
three weeks ago, was able to 20
about with remarkable activity for
one of her age.
