TIE JOY or CHRISTMAs.--If the
birth of the Son Of God into our
world was an event of such cxtraordi-
nary interest to the inhabitants OF
heaven that an angelic messenger was
dispatched to announce it to the shep-
nerds who were watching their ilocks
by night on the hillsdes near Bcthle-
hem, and If suddenly there was with
the angel multitude of the heavenly
host" saying: "Glory to God in the
highest and on earth peace and good
will toward men," surely the recurring
anniversary of that event should be
an occasion Of grateful rejoicing on
our earth. Mankind have more
immediate and vital interest IN
that advent than the angels, 1t is the
necessary precursor To that other
evcnt-thc death on The cross-around
which gather all the hopes of our fall

economy Of grace that Christ should be

law, to redeem them that were un,lor

" the likeness Of sinful ilcsh," that in
the same flesh IIo might "put
away SIN by the sacrifice of himself.n

During tie year 1900 the coal mines
of Montana produced ,G33 ,773 tons
Of bitumnOus coal. The market for
the most, if not all, Of this coal was
found in the state. 1t brought TO tn,
mine owners last year the good round

A noted eastern photographer, who

In recent interview: 1T seems 10
me that stage struck girls who think
life behind the footlights is one round
of pleasure, might learn something
from studying the photographs of cele-
brated actresses The actresses who
are always smiling and looking frivo-
lous in their pictures are almost in
variably of minor Importance. Even
Lillian Russell. who has for years
posed as a professional beauty, IS
seldom photographed smiling. There
Is a sadness in the expressions of
most of the great actresses that even
the camera cannot overcome. Duse,
Bernhardt and Ellen Terry to mention
three foreign artists from three diff
ferent countries, are never smiling in
their photographs. Julia Marlowe
wears perpetual frown, and Fanny
Davenports mouth had a droop that
suggested weariness and care. | might
also mention Ada Rehan, Annie Rus
SELL Julia Arthur Minnie Maddern
Fiske and host cf others to illustrate
my point that the famous women of
the stage look far from being happy.
