KEEPING CHRISTMAS.
BY HENRY VAN DYKE

Are you willing to stoop down and con-
slider the needs and desires of little children;
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 under
with you really want, without waiting for
them to tell you; to trim your lamp that it
will give more light and less smoke, and to
carry it in front that your shadow will fall
behind you; to make grave for your ugly
thoughts and garden for your kindly feel
ings. with the gate open-are you willing to
do these things even for dayr 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 hundred years ago is
the image and brightness of the Eternal
Lover Then you can keep Christmas.

to that state and was successively
chosen to pastorates in that city,
Oneida and Beardstown. In 1872 he
went back to Michigan, and for twenty
years was a Jealous worker for the
Cong regational cause, and. that he ac-
complished much, is evidenced by the
esteem in which he was held both in
his own church and in those of other
creeds. Fourteen years ago Rev.
Waldo retired from active ministerial
work, being then seventy-five years Of
age. and went to Anderson. Indiana.
where he remained q few months with
his youngest son, after which he came
to Canon City, arriving here October
Is, 1895.
Rev. Waldo was twice married. the
fist time to Miss Lucy Elizabeth Fay
at Keene. New Hampshire, August %,
1874, and the second time to Mrs.
Silence P. Csdy at Lamont, Michigan,
July %, 1873. Botn are now dead, the
former dying March 8, 1877. and the
latter August o, 1894.
Rev. Waldo was minister OF more
than ordinary talent and his sermons
were characterized by thoughtful
ness, candor and sincerity which made
them especially helpful to his hearers.
As there is no Congregational church
here he retained his membership at
Pueblo, where he formerly worsbiped.
The Waldo family came to the United
States from England about 1850 and
settled in Connecticut, from which it
spread to other states Of New England
and the west. The deceased leaves two
sons, Chas. E. Waldo of this city, and
f. H. Waldo of Vernon, Texas. both of
whom we're at the obsequies yesterday.
The funeral was held at the First Pres
byterian church at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. all members of the local
Ministerial Association being present
as a tribute OF respect to his memory.
The interment was at Greenwood
cemetery.
Besides the sons named he leaves
three grandsons, two of whom are well
known in Canon City, the other of
whom is now resident OF Richmond.

elected to the pastorate Of a church in
that city, position he held for ten
years. He then went to North Brook
field, Mass, where he had charge
OF church for nearly two years, at the
end Of which time he decided to re-
move to Illinois, as that part Of the
country was then attracting great at
tention in New England and the Mid
die states.
Rev Waldo was strong anti-slavery
man, and his emigration to the west at
that particular period prevented him
from voting for Fremont for the presi-
dency in 1855. His abolition views
arose from deep conviction that
ownership in human chattels was
wrong, and he was an ardent sup
porter of the candidacy of Lincoln and
Hamlin four years later. He was en-
gagged in ministerial work in Kewanee.

A Kanaka Canoe.

The early Kanakas built their fast
sailing canoes out of the body Of
single tree, following it out and stay
ing the edges with strips Of hard wood.
These strips extended to the ends and
covered space at both stem and
stern. The triangular sails were made
Of fine mating, and the little craft
was steadied by an outrigger. The
ruling chiefs and their families travel
ed in large double canoes, with rails
ed platform in the center for passen-
gers.
The building Of canoe was a very
serious business. Offerings were made
to the gods. and prayers were especial
~ addressed to the fiSherman's tute-
larry saint. A priest finally stood with
the owner at the bow Of the canoe and
recited the last prayer In unbroken ST.
lence; death and disaster were sure to
follow if any extraneous noise dis
turbed the scene.-New York Times.

Dangers of the Sea.

The fourth day perfect mountain
Of water, the biggest sea l have ever
seen in all my life, came towering up
and fell on the Roddam. l thought she
was foundered, but she shook it off.
and we saw that the after deck house
and the hand steering gear had been
carried away as clean as cutting off
the top Of a cake. A piece of the truck
had got damned in the wheel chains,
and the next bash the rudder got broke
the chains. In half a minute we were
wallowing helpiessly in the trough of
the sea, and | knew that another big
sea would end the chapter. Getting
the men together, l made try at get
ting the chain picked up and spliced.
The steward, who was q brave lad,
went over the side and got up the
loose end. We had tied ourselves to-
gether for the work, and that was all
that kept us from being washed over
board. In a few minutes we had con-
nected up the chain with a strong
strap and were ready to get back amid
ships when the wreck Of the hand
steering gear, which was swinging
free, came clipping around and caught
the stewards leg, taking it off like a
butcher chops off bone.-Metropoli-

Kossuth,s English.

KoSSuth had a remarkable mastery
of English. This story shows how he
strengthened his knowledge of our diff
icult tongue. Speaking at Concord.
Mass, Kossuth wished to express the
figure of the Austrian eagle rending
the young freedom of Hungary. The
word escaped him. Stopping for mo-
ment in the full flight of eloquence, he
asked a matter of fact American who
sat near him. What you say when
man tear his coatT' Hole" was the
reply. That word did not satisfy him,
and Ralph Waldo Emerson, who had
overheard the question, whispered
rent" with poetic sympathy for eu-
phony. and the stately sweep Of the
sentence was completed. He learned
the language after his arrest in 1887,
when he was sentenced in 1888 to three
years Imprisonment, during part Of
which he was cut off from all commu-
nication with his friends and was de-
MED the use Of pen and ink and even
of books. In the second year he was
allowed to read, but as all political
books were interdicted he selected an
English grammar, Walkers pronounc-
ing dictionary and Shakespeare. With
out knowing a single word he began to
read 1.-The Tempest" He was engaged
for fortnight in getting through the
first page
