KING SANTA CLAUS

There is the real King Santa Claus
whom we have loved since childhood,
and there is the Pretender Santa Claus
whom we have known only since we
have grown older The real Santa
gives because be loves us aud wants to
make us happy; the pretender Santa
Claus gives because he thinks it is
expected of him and because-banish
the thought at Xmastide-maybe he
thinks there will be profitable return.
The real Santa Claus you will meet
down town now. In fact, he made his
plans many months ago, and with a
merry face is already bnsy developing
them. Is 1t not too early? Oh, no,
indeed, not for him. He is a wise old
fellow, and since he first looked low n.y.
ly out upon the world, he observed
that it is the early bird who finds what
he wants. He gives because he wants
to make us happy, and he bestows a
gift that shows he knowns us as well
as he loves us.

CHRISTMAS MODERNIZED.

The blessed Christmas tide is almost
upon US, that season OF peace on earth
when we work and worry ourselves into
nervous prostration trying to finish off
the satchet bags and embroidered linen
we started in July, and when we add
to the general good Will among men by
giving people things that they don't
want and that we cannot afford. We
work with the very same earnestness
for our dearest friends and those we
don't even personally care for, and of
the two, our friends the enemy are apt
to get the lions share in the division
of results.
How much alike we all are! And
twelve month clocks have no greater
regularity than we show IN re-
peatlng our ways Of celebrat-
ing Christmas. After so many like
experiences why this unprepared-
ness in spirit and in purse?
For years and years millions of wo-
men all over the country have been
banded together to promote reforms.
In squads and companies they have
gone forth to seize every corner of this
land of liberty. No denizen is safe
from their close watchfulness or their
attack. Man is no longer allowed ex-
elusive right to vote nor to smoke with
out protest. He is denied the priv
ilege of chastlsing his own child or
beating his beast. Societies for the
regulation of our birthright preroga-
tlves spring up and flourish like the
green bay tree until few are left, not
more or less curtailed. But here is
one bit of territory not pre-empted.
Why is it that some of them have not
taken up the correction of our national
celebration of Christmas ?
As a people we cannot resist the
temptation to extremes, and once start
ed in any movement we pile on and
expand and amplify until the original
meaning is hidden from sight, and its
true spirit is deader than Hector
So with Christmas. The first idea
of time when the cares and worries
of our little worlds were put out of
sight and those bound by ties of love
aud blood came together to feast and
to exchange simple tokens of love and
good wilI-was one of the most beautI-
full that ever came into this prosaic
world. But how is that idea carried
out to-day ?
The Christmas feast has degenerated
into social function with the payment
of social obligations often its real mo-
tive. Even in family gatherings the
gloss of artifciality is so we'll laid on
and the manifestations of love and ten
derness so carefully modulated that
scarcely a trace of the Christmas
spirit rises to the surface. The aim
of modern social training seems to be
to crush out all natural feeling. In
this way we have modernized the cele-
bration of the birthday of our Lord I'M
til the true Christmas spirit is well
nigh dead.

A few minutes later Sturgis, ap- parently absorbed in the contempla- tion of the paintings which hung in the hall, heard the door of Murdock's study open softly. Although the re- porter did not turn his head, he at once became conscious that the chem ist's piercing eyes were fixed upon him. The observation lasted so long Chat Sturgis, aelf-possessed as was his wont, was beginning to feel . trife nervous, when at last Dr. Murdock broke the silence:
 q have to apologize for leaving you standing in the hall, Mir. Sturgis. I was under the impression that l had invited you to step into the parlor."
 The words, courteous in themselves, conveyed to the nearer an impression ef biting sarcasm.
