DENIES IMPUTATIoN.
Report on Alleged Discrimination in
Issuance Of Licenses.

In a communica ton to the Commission
ers Howard Markward and others Of a
committee representing the Master House
Painters and Decorators Association ask
ed for information relative to the license
fee for master or racting house paint
ers. and stated that the assessors Office
had seemed disposed to discriminate in the
matter.
The assessor, Mr.. Darneille. has report
ed that the allegation that the assessors S
office has Disseminated in the matter of
issuing licenses. to painters any other
class of contractors Is untrue. He says the
act of July /. 1902, provides that building
and other contractors must procure licenses
at the rate of $25 per annum. The Police
Court, he said, has placed very wide and
indefinite construction upon this term and
the assessors Office is unable to determine
exactly who come within the category Of
building and other contractors, and in
cases of doubt the only way to determine
the question is in the Police Court.
The license year begins with November
l, and licenses issued after that time to
those persons who begin business inside OF
the license year are issued pro rata. The
writer's will be so informed.

dent of the board of District Commission
ers, that he had been informed by Mr..
Beach the United States district attorney,
that he would submit the requisition. the
voucher and the report of the board of
education on the subject to the grand
jury.
Mr. Beach has made a careful examina-
ton of the statutes OF the United States
and the code of the District of Columbia
to ascertain the law for a prosecution in
this case. He finds that the United States
statutes do not cover this case. They re-
late only to cases affecting the government
of the United States and not to cases af-
fecting the government of the District Of
Columbia. But he believes that the case
is covered by a provision in the code of the
District of Columbia. The limita ton In the

Keeping Christmas.
(Henry Van Dyl1e.)

(Henry Van Dyke.)
1t is a good thing to observe Christ
mas Day. The mere marking Of times
and seasons when men agree to stop work
and make merry together is a wise AID
wholesome custom. 1t helps one to feel
the supremacy of the common life over
the individual life. 1t reminds a man
to set his little watch, now and then,
by the great clock of humanity =
But there is better thing than the
observance OF Christmas Day, and that
is keeping Christmas. Are you willing
to forget what you have done for other
people and to remember what other peo-
pie have done for you; to ignore what
the world owes you and to think what
you owe the world; to put your rights i'll
the background, your duties in the middle
distance, and your chances to DO little
more than your duty IN the foreground );
to see that your fellowmen are just as
real as you are, and try to look behind
their faces to their hearts, hungry for
joy; to own that probably the only good
reason for your existence is not what
you are going to get out of life but what
you are going to give to life; to close
your book of complaints against the man
Sgement of the universe and look around
for a place where you can SOW few
seeds of happiness? Are you willing to
do these things for even a day? Then you
can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down and con-
slider the needs and desires Of little chill
dren; to remember the weakness and
loneliness of people who are growing old =;
to stop asking how much your friends
love you and ask yourself whether you
love them enough; to bear in mind the
things that other people have to bear on
their hearts; to try to understand what
those who live in the same house with
you really want without waiting for them
to tell you; to trim your lamp so that it
will give more light and less smoke and to
carry it in front so that yoursshadow Will
fall behind you; to make a grave tor
kindly feelings, with the gate open? Are
you willing to do these things even for
your ugly thoughts and a garden for your
a day? Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that love is
the strongest thing in the world-stronger
than hate, stronger than evil, stronger
than death-and that the blessed life
which began in Bethlehem nineteen hun
dred years ago is the image and bright
ness of the Eternal Love? Then you can
keep Christmas And if you can keep
it for a day, why not for always? But
you can not keep it alone.

A Christmas Carol.

What sweeter music can We bring
Than a carroll for to sing
The birth of this our heavenly KingP
Awake the voice! Awake the string!
Heart, care, and eye and everything
Awake! the while the active finger ,
Runs division with the singer.
Dark and dull night file hence away
And give the honour to this day
That sees December turnd to May.
IF we may ask the reason, say
The why and wherefore all things here
Seem like the springtime of the yeere?
why dos the chilling winters morne
Smile like a field beset with corne?
Or smell like to a meade new-sho-ne
Thus on the sudden? Come and sec
The cause why things thus fragrant b.
IT'S He is borne, whose quickening birth
Gives life and luster, publicke nirth.
To heaven and the under-earth.
We see Him come and know Him ours.
Who with His sunshine and His showers
Turns all the patient ground to flowers.
{
The Darling of the world is come,
And fit it is we inde roome
To welcome Him. The nobler part
OF all the house here is the heart:
Which we do give Him, and bequeath
This hollie and this ive wreath
To do Him honour, who's our King,
And Lord of all this revealing.

which passeth all understanding.
Christmas. is indeed, the greatest fes-
tival OF the civilized world. 1t bushes
the strife. the passions. the noise and
the furry of human contention. and puts
in their place, if only for one day. a
feeling of universal brotherhood. the de-
sire to see all the world Joyous and hap
py. On this day no creature Is so poor
az to be miserable. no heart is so selfish
as not to open with sympathy for some
one else. "On earth peace, good will to-
ward men," was stamped upon the day
by the song of the heavenly host pro-
claiming to the world its newborn Saw
ior. Until that song is blotted from the
hearts of men Christmas will remain the
universal festival of peace and good will.
Nothing better marks the character OF
North Carolina than her devotion to and
observance of the Christmas season. n
prolific people, fond of children-and.
roofing their affections deep down in
family life-and, so, with songs and tales
of Santa Claus, with shoes and stockings
full and overlooking, with Christmas trees
and gifts, with unrestrained noise, fun
merriment, with fireworks and tin-horns,
children possess and enjoy the day.
religious people animated by fear OF God
seashore to mountains the churches are
filed with worshippers to hear the story
of the nativity and listen to the law of
God. A hospitable people, and, so, to
tables filled with every food to satisfy
the appetite of man will be invited neigh
bors and friends and even strangers, So
journing in the land. A sympathetic peo-
pie, full Of pity and compassion, and, So,
widows and orphans, the halt, the lame
and the blind, prisoners and captives,
all the afflicted and unfortunate, from
what cause .oever and wherever found,
will on this day be visited and comforted.
This is North Carolina, and this is Christ
mas.
May the spirit of Christmas endure for
ever! May North Cardinals Christmas
remain unchanged! May the spirit CT
brotherly love, of peace and good will,
which Christmas day creates,so grow and
Increase that it will fill UP every day
in the year, and every heart in the world.
May it animate all the nations in their
dealings with one another, and thus put
an end to strife and war.
