CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

To the thousands of members of the Tribune
Sunshine Society the president sends greetings and
to each one goes a genuine wish for happy
Christmas and a prosperous New Year The abun-
dant contributions of good cheer during this hol-
day have demonstrated the kindly and ex-
tended interest of both old and members The
goodwill spirit has been shown from every section
of the country and 1t has enabled the general office
to become clearing house for the distribution OF
sunshine to a greater extent than ever before in
the history of the society. The lonely hours of in
vads have been frightened by sunny gifts. the
hearts of little sick and crippled children have been
made glad and the many both old and young,
whose lives lie among the shadows, have been
sharers in the sunshine which has gone forth In
such generous measure.

THE SONG OF THE ANGELS.

Far OFF in the dawn of the ages,
When the world and its people were young,
One night Ger the plains of Judea
wonderful anthem was sung.
1t sung by the angels of glory
To shepherds who watched through the night
Their focks as they patiently waited
The advent OF mornings glad light
Flashing out through the shadows Of midnight
There burst forth vision so bright
That amid the strange splendor and singing
The shepherds stood trembling with fright
Lowly listening they heard the good tidings
OF glory and peace and good WILL
And the birth of the Babe in the manger,
The worlds deepest hopes to fulfil.
Never more shall the star and the vision
To the shepherds wise men appear,
But the song of the angels forever
Sings on through the world far and near.
Sing on. holy anthem of heaven,
Sing on to our sorrow and tears;
Sing peace to the heart of the nations,
Sing joy to swift flying years!

DATE OF CHRISTS BIRTH.

I'm what year was Jesus born?" asks corre-
spondent He was born before Herod the Great
died for Herod ordered the slaughter of the in
fants of Bethlehem in order to kill Him. Herod
died 1904 years Therefore 1t Is probable that
we are about to enter the sixth year of the
twentieth century. In the year 526 A. ID. Donysius
a Roman abbot, fixed the birth of Christ in the
year of Rome 754, and this date has been uni
versally accepted. But II is evidently erroneous.

QUAY PERSONA NON GRATA.
Pennsylvania Statesman Pleads in
Vain for Mckinley Help.

declared around the white house that
the call of Matthew Quay on the
president did not result in any great
profit to the Pennsylvania statesman
Mr.. Quay is making a vigorous can
vass of the Keystone state in the in
terests OF his senatorial boom. and
II Is now declared that he is visiting
localities where before he was never
seen. ltappears, however. that the
night Is lively one and Quay wants
the assistance of the administra ton
to help him through. To get that
aid was the purpose OF his call on
Mr., Mckinley.
1t Is also asserted that the mission
proved failure. The president gave
Mr.. Quay smooth words but no ten
Die tokens that the power of the
republican administration would be
used IN fostering the QUAY boom.
Inc vote OF Senator Hanna was the
decisive ballot that kept QUAY out
OF the senate last spring. 1t is de-
ciared that the Mckinley administra-
Ulon Is now actuated by the same
spirit that impelled Hanna to vote
for Quay rejection from Pennsvlya-
