WIN. CORCORAN HILL
Prominent Business Man Recalls
Days When Fireworks Were
Part of Xmas Festivities.

Christmas Day is not celebrated as
NOISY as it used to be in Washington
twenty or twenty-five years ago." said
William Corcoran HILL
! I can remember when the Youngsters
around town made as much racket as
they would on the Fourth of July. I
don't suppose there were any more tin
horns then, or other toys that are useful
to produce racket, but the firecrackers
and torpedoes and a dozen other explo-
sives that were set off during the day
made more noise than we have in Wash
ington at present on any one day in the
year, excepting only Independence Day
Il understand that the custom Of ex-
plodins hrecrackers still obtains in parts
Of Virginia, where it is considered neces-
sary to make strenuous demonstration
on Christmas Day. Possibly the idea
was brought TO Washington b. the Vir-
sinians who moved into the city.
Most of the old customs of Wash
ingIon have been abandoned. Christmas 9
and New Year Day are celebrated much
more quietly than in the earlier days of
the city. ] can remember when the
young men around town hired carria ges
TO take them to the many houses they
felt obliged to visit on the first day OF
the new year All Of the old families
kept open house to their friends. and in
most of them there would be large bowls
of eggnog, which seemed to be consid-
cred part of the proper celebration OF
the festival

II. B. T. MACFARLAND
District Commissioner Says Young
People Have Learned to Give
Rather Than to Receive.

THE spirit of Christmas has changed
much in recent years said Commits
sioner Macfarland. .'and while we have
not benefited by the dropping of some
of the hearty old-Iime customs, the
evidences of the lively Christmas spirit
OF former days, at least we may con-
graduate ourselves upon the fact that
the spirit is rather one of giving than
receiving.
especially among the children of our
Sunday schools, Not so many years
ago the boys and girls used to go to the
Christmas trees in the Sunday schools
with a happy, joyous expectation of
receiving the good things with which
the trees are Iadened. Today the chill
dren carry presents with them from
their homes to deck the trees for poorer
children than themselves They have
the happiness of giving, which after
ali is much more lasting and sure than
the joy OF receiving. For everyone is
pleased with the things he gives to
others and the happiness which the gift
creates, but often the pleasure of re-
ceiving presents is lost because this or
that gift is not to the taste or is a
duplicate or what not. And the chill
dren feel their differences as well as the
older heads. Almost every child is gem
erous if given half "A chance to be so
and the change in custom favors this
generous spirit.
This new spirit Of Christmas is not

1T was not exactly Christmas. It was
the night before, and it was bitterly
cold. The wind made the trees groan,
as it bent their huge branches.

for a roof over ones head, and a warm
fire in front It also made one think

w. RILEY DEEBLE
Weii-Known Real Estate Man Tells
CT Xmas Days Spent Coast
ing Down Cemetery Hill.

The two fayorite amuseme.ts in the
days when 1 was a youngster,'' says w
Riley Deeble, was skating on the old
Lyons Mil dam on Rock Creek, where
the Massachusetts Avenue eulvert is sit
uated, and coasting down Cemetery Hill.
That was before the streets were
paved, and at times the coast
ing was rather dangerous The
best sliding was on Washing
ton, now Thirtieth Street, from Oak
Hill Cemetery gate at the top of the
kill all the way down to the cid Simuns
sawrnill. Our bob sleds would travel
as far as that point when we had a
good start Once in coasting on Con-
gress. now Thirty-first Street, 1 remem-
Der seeing one loaded bob run its
nose against the old Potomac boat

.-One Christmas that 1 remember was
particularly cold and the snow was
deep and hard packed. a dozen or so
of the boys of the neighborhood, fnciud-
ing myself, put in solid dav of what 1
would now consider hard work racing
down the hill and dragging the sleds
back There seemed TO be a smooth
coating of ice on top of the snow we
were sliding over, and the speed we got
up was terrific One OF the big heavy
-'bobs' struck horse car on the Met
ropolitan line and derailed it.
The most remarkable escape from in
jury I have ever witnessed occurred on
that hill. A light sled with only one
boy on 1t was coming down the hill
with a speed You would not suppose the
weight would give it. There was a COZ
cart crossing Thirtieth Street al Q.
and for some reason the boy on the
sled could not steer around It. The only
thing that saved him was the speed
at which ne was moving and the fact
that the cart was almost at a standstiu.
He went between the horses hind hoofs
and the wheels of the cart, with very
few inches TO spare on either side, and
was a couple OF squares down the street
