Merry Christmas, mamma, and

books; we read some already, and
mean to read more after breakfast

trooping into the room where their
mamma was that Christmas morning
Merry christmas, little daughters!
I'm glad you began at once. and nope
you will keep on. But want to say a
word before we sit down. Not far away
from here lies. a poor woman, with a
little newborn babe. Six children are
huddled into one, bed to keep from
freezing, for they have no fire. There
is nothing to eat over there. The eld-
est boy came to tell me they were suf-
fering hunger and cold. My girls, will

Christmas PRESENT." 5*3s% '.''1.
They were all unusually hungry,
having waited nearly an hour, and for

Mrs. March, smiling as IL satisfied.
"You shall all go and help me, and
when we come back we will have
bread and milk for breakfast, and
make it up at dinner time"
They were soon ready and the pro-
cession set out. Fortunately it was
early, and they went through back
streets, so few people saw them, and
no one laughed at the queer party.
A roor, bare, miserable room it was,
with broken windows, no FIRE, ragged
bed-clothes, sick mother, wailing
baby and group Of pale, hungry chill
dren cuddled unuer one old quilt, try
ing to keep warm.
How the big eyes stared and the blue
lips smiled as the girls went in.
"Ach, mein Colt. It is good angels

crying for Joy.

would leave the hospital. There were
no marks Of violence on her--there
was absolutely nothing to point to her

she had fallen in a faint on her way

of what might be concealed. The we'd

steadfastly refused to let her husband

shook their wise heads and turned her

EARLY ENGLISH COACHES.
Their Introduction Said to Have Been
Due to Queen Eleanor

Their Introduction Said to Have Been
Due to Queen Eleanor
The introduction of coaches in
England is credited to Queen Elean-
or, who died in 1891. Her death was
thus amiably discussed in a ballad of
the time, entitled GA Warning Piece
to England Against Pride and Wick
ednesse, being the fall of Queen
Eleanor, wife to Edward, King of
England, who, for her pride, by Gods
judgment, sunk into the ground at
Charing Cross, and rose at Queens
bitbe:"
She was the first that did invent.
In coaches brave to ride;
She was the first that brought this land
To deadly sin and pride.
Later testimony, no less direct,
credits the first introduction of
coaches to Sir Thomas Chamber
layne, English ambassador to the
court of Charles V. of Spain; and
again to the earl of Rutland, for whom
Walter Rippon, Queen Elizabeth's
subsequent coachmaker, is recorded
to have built the "first coach that ever
was seen in England, Ammo Domini,
1855"
However this may be, a great stir
was certainly made in England by
the magnifcence Of the royal coaches
which Queen Bess received as pres
ents from her admirers abroad. Her
admirers at home followed suit. Thus
Sir Philip Sidney risked his knightly
reputation by appearing in a coach
instead Of on horseback, riding into
Shrewsbury in his wagon, with his
trumpeter blowynge, very joyful to
behold" Good Bishop Hall, in his
"Satires," published shortly after
wards, took less joyful view:
Is't not shame to see groome
Sit perched in an idle chariot roome,
That were not meet some panel to bestride.
Sursingled to a CALLED hackney's hide?
In spite of such criticisms, the use
Of coaches grew apace, so that young
Shakespeare could earn a livelihood
by holding the coach horses Of the la
dies that drove to the Globe theater.
In 1901 bill was actually brought in
parliament "to restrayn the excessive
use Of Coaches within this realm Of
England" -Automobile Magazine.

that they are the epitaphs Of the dead

that other explorers bad preceded
