There were four men in the room besides
the mother and her son, and everyone
was shedding quiet tears, the whiskey
was forgotten, a cup OF warm tea was sub
stitnted, and Jack brought the cutter TO
the door, and under the twinkling stars,
in the bright moonlight, he drove home
with the happiest little woman in all the
wide world, and she was always happy
afterwards, for Norm kept his promise.
Christmas Passed.
Christmas day was observed in all the
churches, the chief business of each be-
ing to make the children and Gods

birthday of Christ, who loved the child

church in the world, Christmas is day
OF peculiar rejoicing, and the anthem the
angels sang to the watchful shepherds Oh
the hills near Bethlehem, has more sig
n1icance to us nearly two thousand years
away, than it had to them. "Peace on
earth and good will to men" has zeal
significance, andit pervades the world.

was crowded. Just before the ceremon-
les commenced two men brought in
large barrel covered with paper and
placed it near the tree. In few min
utes, the paper head burst and Santa
Claus came up out of the barrel in a
shower of cotton resembling snow. No
one of the audiance knew what was in
the barrel and the surprise, and the de-
lusion, was complete. James s. Petty
the cook on the government snag boat
was Santa Claus, and he acted the part
well. His body was just the right size
for the barrel, but his heart is big enough
to take in the world. They had a happy
time, many warm heart there swelled
with gratitude that it was able to give,
while many cherries, lonely heart was
warmed with the generous gifts. That's
what Christmas means.
