CHRISTMAS IN COLD CLIMATES.

The American ideals of Christmas
were early drawn from the cold coun-
tries and that is why Santa Claus is
pictured drawing reindeers, wearing a
heavy coat and riding in sleigh. AS
a matter of fact in much of America
Christmas finds clear warm weather,
where snow, ice. heavy clothing and
reindeer are unknown.
Sir Roger de Coverly thought it
happened very we'll that Christmas
should come in the middle of winter,
for he said:
at is the most uncomfortable time
of the year, when the poor people
would suffer very much from their
poverty and cold if they had not good
cheer, warm fires and Christmas gam
bols to support them. i always have a
piece of cold beef and mince pie
upon the table and am always pleased
to see my tenants pass d whole even
ing in playing their innocent tricks =
The good example of Sir Roger
should be emulated and extended with
the changes which differing conditions
suggest. In Raleigh and in the towns
it is better to remember the poor in
advance so that every family may sit
down under their humble roofs to a
good Christmas dinner. In this city
no poor child or poor family is for
gotten. Good men and women have
for weeks been devoting much time
to planning for comforts at their
homes and for d mammoth Christmas
tree at Metropolitan Hall on Tuesday
evening. "Inasmuch as we have done
it unto the least of these my little
ones in the inspiration of the nob'G
generosity prompting the noble bene-
faction"
