A Christmas Fable.

The Roots of the old sycamore tree, which
extended deep into the ground beside the
Brook, were disposed to make merry with
it.
You have no Christmas, said the
Roots jeeringly You may have good
time in summer, when you can see and
talk with the birds and trees and flowers,
but in winter you are imprisoned in dark
ness under the ice. and of Christmas you
know nothing. With us it is quite differ
ent. We are part of the great tree and
up above we can see the sun flashed back
by the frost and the smoke rising in great
curls from the chimneys and the white,
furry mantle of ermine earth is wearing,
and we can hear the twitter of the snow
birds and the tinkle of the sleighbells
and the shouts of happy people. Oh, it is
fine outside. But you, poor Brook, in
your dark prison, you hear nothing and
see nothing and know nothing.
But the Brook only laughed. You are
very much mistaken" it said, 'if you
think / have no Christmas. On the con-
trary, Christmas time down here is one of
joy and brilliancy 1t is neither dark nor
lonely beneath the ice There is a strange
phosphorescent light which is sometimes
wonderful, and frolic among the stones
and crosses in winter just as 1 did in sum
mer. There is jolly group OF acqua1n-
tances here too The great pickerel splash
about, and the muskrats come down out
of their houses, and the mink dives to
drift from one haunt to another in the
bank. and the crawfsh are as Sociable as
ever. | gurgle and dance among them
and sing a Christmas carol when the time
comes, and we are very happy
"But that is not all, the Brook con-
tinued You forget the airholes.
Through them look up and see the stars
They are far brighter to me than to you,
because l look at them with nothing
earthly in sight. All, but they are always
bright on Christmas evel They shine then
with radiance never seen at any other
time, and we gather about the airholes,
all the company of us, and watch them
and their glory 1t seems then as if each
star were Star of Bethlehem, telling Of
the coming of the Christ child 1t is won
derful and beautiful, and we are glad. Do
not tell me that there is no Christmas be-
meath the ice. >

THE CHILDREN's DAY.
Christmas should Be the Happiest of

In every household special pains should
be taken to insure ''good time" for the
little ones of the family, and in homes
where there are no children the opportu-
nifty is afforded to make it a pleasant day
for some less fortunate little ones whose
parents have not the means of providing

A lady once remarked in my hearing
that she thought it a mistake to make
only gifts of wearing apparel to poor chill
dren, even if it was needed. Children, she
said, appreciate toys, candies and nuts, or
even ornamental gifts more than they do
clothes, and that child would get more
enjoyment out of such things, even if he
went with cold feet and bare hands
Be that as it may, each of us is able to
give pleasure of some sort to some child
at Christmas time. Let not this joyous
season pass while we selfshly lavish gifts

The custom of giving Christmas pres

During the revels of Christmas eve, when
the booths and bazaars were thrown wide
open, the madcap revelers were accustomed
to going from booth to booth, purchasing
such articles as struck their fancy, and in
the high carnival which followed these
purchases were exchanged indiscriminate-

"All aboard for Jerusalem, Ramleh
Artouf AZ d the tomb of Samsor!"
The poet Lamartine, writing of the
Holy Land in his ''Meditations' sixty odd
years ago, tells of buying an arsenal of
pistols, sabers and other weapons to arm
his company against the Greek pirates
who infested the archipelago sea and of
divers other dangers which made the
journey to Jerusalem full of danger and
excitement
Nowadays an uneventful sail on one of
the Messagerie's steamers brings one to
Alexandria. Another stop occurs at Port

cravat, his establishment being in six

nothing in the least oriental about it.
Then the next morning your boat is bob

the sailors in a bad humor, as they be-
lieve that priests on board bring bad luck

After having passed through fragrant

country of the Philistines spreading away

the negroes dominate the Fusion party.
The negro is the master: Holton and the
white so-called leaders do the bidding ut
their negro master. Jim Young is here
to try to retrieve the ground the white
leaders have lost.
SO far as the result is concerned, no
negro colonel and no negro regiment.

troops. can affect the result. The cam

Neither Jim Young nor his regiment can
change it. His coming merely emph,i-
sizes the fact that the negro runs the
Fusionists.
Last night the Colonel spoke to n
courthouse full of negroes, that no time
might be lost in rallying the disorganizel

General Wood Finds a Vessel About to
Sail With Insufficient Supplies.
Santiago de Cuba, Nov. 2.-The United
States transport Port Vivtor. was to have
left to-day at noon for the United States
with number Of sick men and officers
Fortunately before the hour fixed for her
departure, General Leonard Wood, Mil
itary Governor Of the Department of
Santiago, went on board. To his amaze
ment he found no provisions especially
suitable to sick persons, and an entire
lack of delicacies, and an insufficient
quantity of medical supplies.
General Wood declares that hereafter
he will pay personal visit to every
transport before it leaves the harbor.
He thinks it very strange, that, after all
the experience had here in this line, the
medical department is not able to man
age its affairs better, and that the per-
sonal supervision of the commanding
General should be necessary.
Major Starr, Inspector General of the
department, is on a furlough of thirty
days. Colonel Wiley, Lieutenant Gov
ernor. is sick with imalarial fever. But
General Wood was fully equal to the emer-
gency. He had the vessel supplied in short
order with Red Cross stores, and with an
adequate amount of other provisions, and
the transport left the harbor in time to
pass Morrro Castle before sundown
