SACRED THORN TREE,
Strange story of One That Blossoms
Only mt Christmas.

Six miles northwest of the quiet little
episcopal city Of Wells rises lofty peak,
called by the Celtic natives Of west Brit
ain tor" 1t is conspicuous for miles
around, with the tower of an ancient
chapel on its top and with a neat little
country town and the ruins Of noble old
abbey.
Sufficient evidence remains to show
that the abbey was of vast proportions,
occupying in all GO acres of ground. 1t
was founded by Saxon kings and further
endowed by the Normans and Plan.
tagenets. The grand chancel and its fine
chapcls wore built in the finest style Of
later Norman architecture, but now little
more than crunbing walls and pillars
testify to the once great beauty of the
abbey.
The porch of st. Josephs chapel, how
ever, is in fair state of preservation.
Outside there grows the famous Glaston-
bury thorn that blossoms but for one day
in the year, and that Christmas day.
This tree has a strange history.
During his long journey from Palestine
st. Joseph of Arimathea visited the dis
trict, he and his II companions having
been sent by St. Philip, the apostle. to
convert the then heather nation of Brit
ain and TO cast out the Druid supersti.
ton.
st. Joseph and his followers found their
way to Glastonbury, then known as
"Yhiswytryn." They were all a-weary,
and, arriving on the summit of the hill.
Joseph, who was using hawthorn stick
as a walking staff, stuck it into the
ground, and it burst into bloom. The
present Glastonbury thorn is an offshoot
by continued grating of st. Joseph Of
Arimathea's walking staff. - London

Spirit 0f Christmas.

About Christmas there is an ineffable
strangeness and mysticism. 1t seems pos
sessed of spirit as well as body.
This spirit seems redolent in the air, in
the strains of Christmas music. on the
evergreen and mistletoe and on the very
pealing Of the bells which flood tn
world with melody seemingly carnered
through all the - months since that sa-
cred night when heaven kissed the eartl
and Christ our Lord was born and the
angel choirs chanted, GLORY to God in
the highest. and on earth peace to mel
of good will.' For nearly 1000 years
this hymn has continued to ring down
the changing grooves of time and still
re-echoes DER the weary world at Christ
mas dawn.-Elmira Telegram.

Some one has said that the time is not
far away when "scallopcrs" and summer
visitors will be the only residents of Nan
tucket island. This opinion savors of
the pessimst and ought not to be toler-
atcd.
But if this prophecy should ever be-
come fact it is not unlikely that the
"scalloper" would stand higher in "thc
kingdom Of heaven" This does not inn
ply that the summer visitor is not all
right. Decidedly it would be hard to get
along without aim. But give the man
who knows life his choice, and it will be

night, when the Christmas trees in the
churches had been unladcn, that the
home corners saw an ominous flash across
the southern sky, and the trail of the
rockets acted like a cry of fire on the
men.
The dull silence In the Nantucket lanes
resounded with the frantic yell, Wreck
on the south shore" Every nblebodied
man was on foot in an instant. Tim
Henderson and all of No. 4 were there,
too, but not the old hand engine.
1t is not over three miles to the south
shore from the village of Nantucket.
When the men had reached the scene,
the life savers had sent a line over the
mast of the brigantine Henrietta Rog-
ers, less than half n mile away. But
the vessel was acting ugly and was loath
to stand still She pounded on the shoal
and tugged Mt the line over which ran
the trolley of the breeches buoy.
Three were already saved, but every
moment it seemed as if the line would
break. AS the mountainous seas heaved
and broke over the cliffs the line and
its burden were buried out of sight.
Then the line, released from its tension,
snapped into the air like a lash and
yet somehow the breeches buoy held TO
its trolley, and its human freight staid,
too, slowly feeling its way to the bank.

A kiplInE Autograph.

A West Philadelphia girl who is an en-
thusiastic autograph collector has recent

the contrary, he believes in turning ev

reply she received a printed slip fror
Mr.. Kipling's secretary setting forth il
brief that Mr. Kipling would be please,
TO furnish his autograph upon payment
of $3.50 to any charity which the col
lector might prefer, n receipt for which
should Immediately be sent to him. She
donated the sum to the Children's Couno
