Pocket compasses, said a dealer in
such things, cost from rs cents to $40
EACH and they are made in various
sizes, from tiny compasses half an inch
or less in diameter up to those of about
the size Of hunting case watch.
Many compasses are carried in nick
eled hunting cases. Some of the tiny
open compasses are carried for charm
on watch guards.
''In the cheaper pocket compasses the
needle turns on brass bearing; in the
costlier compasses on bearing Of
agate. In either, of course, the needle
will point north, but the compass with
the agate bearing win wear much lon

"a good pocket compass will last a

cost Of the more expensive pocket COM
passes may be due to the material used
in them and to elaborateness of finish.

might have pearl face, and so on, but

David wrote in the Psalms, possibly
referring to Solomon as the type of
Christ: 1.-THE kings of Tarshish and of
the isles shall bring presents; the kings
of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts"
The reason for the tributes to Solomon
is given In Kings, where 1t Is stated,
"And all the earth sought Solomon to
hear his wisdom, which God had put
In his heart. and they brought every
man his present vessels of silver and
vessels of gold and garments and ar
NOR and spices, horses and mules,
rate, year by year"
In another place David speaks Of
gifts as tribute to majesty. He says:
s.Vow and pay unto the Lord your God.
Let all that be roundabout him bring
presents unto him that ought to be
feared"
The pagan festivals which were be-
lieyed by some to have suggested the
Christmas celebration consisted Of
feasts and the giving Of presentss TO
celebrate the nuptials of Esther King
Ahasuerus made a great feast unto
all his provinces and gave gifts accord
ing to the state OF the king" Gifts Of
that nature could only bear the mean
ing of generous token of good feeling
and good will
Long before the Christian era the
Greeks celebrated festival In mid
winter when presents were distrib-
Euted to the children in the name of the
household gods
| Whether the ceremonial gift be cost
| ly or plain il bears with It a meaning
which has no relation to its value, and
the gifts OF the rich cannot have deeper
significance than the gifts Of the poor
Emerson said: "Rings and other Jew
els are not gifts. but the apologies for
| gifts. The only gift is a part Of thy
| self"

may be taken as a symbol of appropri-
ate ceremonies for the celebration Of
the birth Of Christ. Pagan kings and
princes, their satraps and subjects, did
indeed give presents, often in connec-
ton with great feasts, with various
ends in view, but it is clear from the
records handed down that the gifts
were not always brides nor tribute to
physical power. Moral worth and beau
ty were often honored by the bestowal
of rare treasures or some symbol Of
riches.

Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem 3
Of Judaa in the days Of Herod the king,
behold, there came wise men from the east
TO Jerusalem, saying, Where is he that was
horn king Of the Jews? For we have seen
his star in the east and have come to wor- 4
ship him
When Herod the king had heard these ".
things, he was troubled and all Jerusalem "a
with him, and when he had gathered all
the chief priests and scribes Of the people ~
together he demanded Of them where ~
Christ should be born, and they said unto y
him, In Bethlehem Of JudRa, for thus it is a
written by the prophet, And thou Beth
lehem, in the land Of Judaa, for out OF thee
shall come governor that shall rule my
people Israel Then Herod, when he had
privily called the wise men, inquired OF
them diligently what time the star APP
peared, and he sent them to Bethlehem
and said, Go and search diligently for
the young child, and when We have found W
him bring me word again that may come "
and worship him also. When they had "
heard the king they departed, and, 10, the y
star which they saw IN the east went ~
before them till it came and stood over $
where the young child was. When they ",
saw the star they reioiced with exceeding
great joy, and when they were come into s.
the house they saw the young child with ~
Mary his mother, and fell down and wor- Y
shipped him, and when they had opened ~
their treasures they presented unto him
eifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.

THE GAME LAWS.

Many OF the local sportsmen are inter
estiug themselves In the pending legisla-
ton touching the proposed changes In
the existing game law. Several confer
ences nave been held OF the subject, and
a plan Of procedure has been agreed
upon. The Cruickshank bill for the pro-
lection of elk, deer aud antelope Is re-
garded as all right aud urgently needed.
This bill has passed the codncil and l.
now pending in the house. Mr.. Ascarate
has before one OF the house committees
a game bill which Is also regarded with
favor by sportsmen. the only criticism
being that il doesn't go quite far enough
as relates % turkey and grouse shooting.
All the nimrods ia northern New Mexico
agree that the present law is out Of joint
In many respects. The game law enact.
el two years ago is OF no earthly validity
1t Is calimcd, as II appears upon the sta
tutes. The spOrtsmen insist that the
law should authorize the killing with gun
OF trukeys, grouse and quail in the north
ern and central counties during the
months OF October, November and De
cember. Prior 10 October the young OF
these birds are too small to warrant an
open season. Another feature which IL Is
thought ought 10 be changed relates to
the trout season, which now opens June
] and continues open for five months.
Why the season should be open after
October ~ at the latest Is not quite clear
10 the average observer. The latter part
~ October is the month OF heaviest
spawning among the front In the streams
in the northern half OF the territory. and
il seems 10 be agreed that the season
might well be opened fifteen days ear,
lier than now, so that the open season
for trout ought 90 begin May Is anC
close October II. Sportsmen express thu
hope that members OF the assembly viii
bear such facts in mind when they taxi
mp for consideration the enactment %
laws ON this subject.
