THE CHOIR-BOYS' CHRISTMAS.
Delightful Concerts Sometimes Given
by Them in the Cathedral
Cities of Europe.

Dean Farrar, writing in the Culver
of THE Great Social Festival" saws:
! know of more than one cathedral
city in which at Christmas time the
little choir boys-often boys who
come from very humble homes-give
delightful concert, during which
they act with hearty fun some very
bright and humorous scenes. They
take real interest in the special
music of the services and anthems
and carols of the season, and they
are invited to spend an evening of
genial amusement at the deanery
and in the houses of some of the
kindly canons. Here they enter Joy
ously into all the time honored fes-
tivities. In the dim light of some
old vaulted room or corridor the
great bowl of the snapdragon sheds
its blue lustre, while, with shrieks of
laughter, the boys snatch out the
burning raisins. Then they hunt for
the little presents in the large bran
pie, and carefully put them in corn
ers till the games are over, when
1hey carry them home to their par
ents; or they have a fishing rod, and
each in turn throws the line over a
curtain behind which someone is con-
cealed, who fastens on the line an
appropriate gift for each boy in turn.
Then follows the Christmas supper,
with its flaming plum pudding, end
less crackers, and unrestrained mirth.
The evening usually ends after sup
per with one or two carols, and
"Auld Lang Syne" sung in the most
correct and traditional fashion; after
which the boys go back to their
homes in high glee, and with the
memory of an unusually pleasant
evening to make the sacred season
more and more dear to them.

WHAT HE FORGOT.
The Toot Of the whistle or the Woe,
of the Commuter During the
Holiday Season.

The commuter sat in the train al
most buried from sight under his
load of Christmas presents. There
was great drum and the sled and
the red wagon for Willie and the
wax doll and the doll house and the
doll buggy for Susie. There was a
great mysterious package for Mrs.
Commuter, and there were half
dozen other packages and parcels for
various friends and relatives.
The commuter with all his weight
of Christmas joys did not seem to
be happy. He sat glaring savagely
around the car as if seeking to find
something that was not there.
Hello, Billy said a neighbor com
muter. Got your Christmas things,
l see."
YES" said Mr.. Commuter. "All
but"
'All but what?"
The commuter again stared wildly
around the car 81 don't know" he
said. I've got all but one thing and
l cannot for the life of Inc remem-
ber what it was. There's that pink
string on my little finger That was
the red wagon Got that. The blue
string, that's the wax doll Got that.
The white string, that's the doll
buggy. That ID. & S. on my cuff.
That's drum and sled. Got that. The

knew it was something about cars or
trains, or something like that, and
! think of those things all the time,
anyhow, and | didn't see how / could
forget. 1t was something that
would be reminded of all the way
down town on the cars, and now L
can't remember. 1t isn't seats, nor
toy cars, nor nothing like that. Con-
found it, it was something about
cars"
well, here's our station" said
neighbor commuter. ''You can't get
IT now. There's the whistle"
The locomotive gave long, mourn
full toot.
That's it," said the commuter,
that's it. Dash my stars. 1t was a
toy whistle for Willie. Chicago

so it is true that many glorious can

themselves anything approaching the
