to disheartened people, and liberty to.
those who never knew it before, make
this Christmas morning one Of the
brightest that ever dawned on the
world
Sixteen centuries ago the day was
celebrated in a little church at Nico-
media. The Christians were gathered
for worship. The house was full. The
emperor, Dioclesian. caused the doors
to be closed, and the church and all
who We're in it were burned. Not one
Christian escaped.
Eight centuries ago the coronation of
William the Norman took place on
Christmas day. 1t was celebrated. with
frightful massacre Of unoffending
people. Two years later this king
marched against the northern prov
inces, and on Christmas day there was
wholesale slaughter of men, women
and children.
Some seven ceutries ago Thomas
a'Becket preached a Christmas sermon
in the cathedral church at Canterbury
which aroused a resentment in royal
circles that COMPRISED his DEATH
Wickliffe died in 1884 as he was pre-
pairing to preach to a Christmas con-
gregation.
Six centuries ago Lord Gotham was
roasted alive and in chains at a public
celebration at Christmas time, because
some priest charged him with heresy
and treason.
Who can say that the world has not
grown better? Such shocking scenes
no longer mar the glory of the day.
Such brutality is not the event of the
Christmas of today. 1t has spread its
influence through the world. 1t has
chastened the human mind. It has
softened the human heart. 1t is a day
Of love and mercy; day of joy; day
of brotherhood and fellowship.

CHARITY AMONG TIE PooR.

It is believed by philanthropists who
go among the poor that there is more
real charity in the realm of poverty
than there is among the. well-to-do;
that they are more willing to help one
another and more considerate of the
welfare of fellow beings, that they are
more sympathetic, kind and generous
than are those Of better fortune.
There may be a reason for this. Those
who feel the pangs OF want appreciate
its. distress most keenly. No one can
realize the infinite torture Of seeing
loved ones deprived of proper care and
nourishment like the man or woman
who has experienced it. Now and then
some gentle, thoughtful angel, or some
tender hearted man will look upon a
scene Of suffering, will listen to tale
Of privation and sense the situation.
But it is rare indeed that those who
know it not can let their hearts go out
to the poor and the distressed.
People who are in comfortable cir
cumstances, who are secure in the pres
ent and sure of the future, are used
to associates who never draw upon
their sympathy, who DO not need their
generosity, who are not required to de-
velop that sense OF sympathy for hui
man suffering and charity for the
needy, that experience and constant
contact are sure to cultivate.
The poor are wondrously kind to each
other; and yet we imagine they. accept
aid with less of gratitude and thank
fitness than once they did. This may
be only imagination. Yet their GUAR
dian angels seem to demand contrlhu-
tons now where once they requested
them; they ask in business way
rather than in. the o1d-fashioned, kind
~ manner of soliciting help in
glorious cause.
Charity should be voluntary. The
needs Of poverty should be presented.
The gospel of generosity should be
preached. But Involuntary charity is
not virtue 1t is not real charity. 1t
is a form of submissiveness to popu-
lar extortion. Still, however it is given,
in whatever spirit, with what regret, it
may relieve suffering somewhere.
But those who give freely feel the
best about it.

gether too exalted. He had no right to
expect anything in that line under the
present administration, and yet the re-
suits Of a war bring about commercial
activity for a time in spite of adverse
financial conditions in general. There
viii be a temporary imitation, not alone
because of the war, but for the reason
that such revivals invariably follow
panics. And the times of today are
treading on the heels of both war and
panic.
The policy of the president concern
ing the island acquisitions has not yet
been determined. He omitted all refer
ence to it in his message, and his un-
official breath has been hot and cold.
When he finally makes up his mind
there is some doubt as to whether he
should be credited or blamed for the
position he takes For Mckinley is not
strong-he is merely prudent.

A Clever Dodge.
cleveland Plain Dealer.

cleveland Plain Dealer.)
The recent arrest of John Roddin, the
plumber, who is suspected of looting
several buildings, and is charged with
feloniously removing a carriage wash
ing machine, recalls an incident that
happened some time ago, in which he
had a little frolic with the largest man
on the police force, Patrolman Bruder.
Bruder was after Roddin, and a foot
race was started On Muirson street.
Roddin was headed in the direction of
the lake, and had a considerable lead,
but Bruder, when once his entire six
foot three was in motion, began to
creep a little nearer the fugitive.
At the corner of Hamilton street
Roddin, approaching the desperation
OF his case, took desperate chances on
turning a sharp corner, knowing the
patrolman would probably be carried
along by the momentum of his go
pounds.
His calculations were right, and the
painting officer was considerably cha
grined to see his man seize the top of
a picket at the corner and nimbly
swing himself around and start on a
different tack up Hamilton street.
The officer could not check himself
at the corner, but dashed into a ped
dler's horse that was crossing the road,
knocking the animal down.
BrUder'S anger mounted, and it is
said he threatened to arrest the ped
dler and his steed for obstructing an
officer.
of course, Roddin got away.

CHRISTMAS DAY.

Christmas is the holiday of civiliza-
ton.
Nations have their natal days, his
tory its anniversaries, creeds their
fetes and festivals. But this is the
natal day Of Christianity, the. festival
of humanity.
Holidays are born OF revolution, bap-
tized in blood, tried in fire. purified in
love. and sanctifed on the altar of
heroic devotion.
Thus the holidays of nations are es-
tabiished. Thus the holidays of religion
cherished
Christmas comes to US from lowly
manger: it comes through a holy sepul-
chre: for. across the cradle of the
Christ there fell the shadow of a cross.
It comes to US through centuries Of in
tolerance and persecution. 1t has sur
vived its Pilates and its Peters. its Jul
dases and its Caesars.
BY instructive agreement, apparently,
it has been set apart throughout the
modern world fer the celebration of its
memories. for the cultivation Of those
traits that most exalt mankind. for the
exercise Of those virtues which redeem
the world.
Whether in the rude barns of Bethle-
hem or in the stately palaces Of Rome,
whether in the soldiers tent or in the
mansions Of the rich, amid the SHOWS
Of Norway or beneath the palms Of
Mexico, upon the cold Yukon or among
the isles of The southland, it is day
observed somehow, by. some one, in the
spirit of kindness. of concern for 9th
ers, which marks Christianity in what
ever form or creed We find it.
ii has been so for ages. 1t has been
approaching the ideal nearer and
nearer. The controlling sentiment Of
this day was with the early Christians
in their catecomb retreats; it was in
the grove temples of the Druids, for it
went beyond the circle which under
stood it's import It was felt by the
ancient Germans in their tents and
alorg their bivouacs: and some of the
sweetest legends of the time they sent
US
Christmas is a day of unselfsh fell
lowship. It is a day that makes the
whole world kin. It is a day that
bIesses the earth. It is blessed to them
who receive: it is doubly blessed TO
them who give.
