ARGUMENTS IN PACE CASE AD
 COMPLETED.
Federal Court of Appeals VIII its Decision Later-Senn V. Pace Was NOt
 Present.

The appeal of John ". Pace the alleged leaders of the peonase oneho- CTS from the decision of Judge Thomas c. Jones of the Middle District coure of Alabama, was yesterday submitted to tha United states Court of Appeals Tor the Fifth Circuit on argument 0s counsel.
 According to the practice of the court. printed briefs had previously been submitted by counsel for the n,a,ntif in error and for practically the last two days, the sessions oi tno court have been occupied in the near ing of the arguments of counsel TOT both Pace and the government.
 Court convened with the usual TOT malities yesterday morning at II o,cIock fin the chamber of the City Council of Montgomery, Judges Pardee' Shelby, and Newman presiding.
 The argument of w. w. Pearson TOT the plaintiff in error, which was not concluded at the previous session or the court was again taken up.
 MT. Pearson was followed by Julius sternfeld, Assistant United States Dis trict Attorney and special assistant to District Attorney Warren 5. Reese during the peonage prosecutions.
 In the. course of his argument MT. sternfeld stated he had letter from the Attorney General of the United States, ralative to the case of peonage which would be presented to the Supreme Court in December. He ex- pressed the hope that the appeals in the present cases if made would be ready for presentation at the same time.
 Pace pleads that the lower court erred in overruling the demurrers to the indictment found by the United States grand jury against him and on this plea, his case rests. He entered a plea of guilty to all the indictments found against him and should the Court of Appeals affirm the ruling of Judge Jones and the United States Supreme Court uphold the Court of Appeals. Pace is liable. for long term of im- prisonment.
 There is a tacit understanding, how ever, that should both courts uphold the decision of Judge Jones, pardon will be recommended the Tallapoosa farmer on account of his bad health,
 Pace has not been in attendance dur ing this session of the court. being represented solely by counsel.

Christmas Service In Stable.

AT Santa Cruz, Cal. there is an old
Spanish church in which the people
worship only on Christmas eve. Elk.
ternally ii looks like a stable and has
no chandelier. The floor and walls are
of stone, and on the eastern side there
is q Eanger. looking through the bars
of which one sees the scenes of the Ma
tivity, with the towers of castles and
palaces in the distance. In the fore
ground the Virgin sits by the manager,
holding the infant Saviour, with St.
Joseph leaning over her and the wise
men offering sheep, oxen and various
precious gifts. Outside this exterior
stable, there are figures Of men carry
ing sheep and calves on their Shout
ders. Fastening to the sacred scene. In
this chapel worshipers remain all night
on their knees This manger side of
the church Is against the east wall,
high upon which is the only window in
the edifice, so that the first rays of the
morning sun irradiate the scenes Of
the Nativity. The rays lend roseate
glow, and as soon as this reaches the
worshipers they leave the church, light
cigarettes and begin their festivities

CHRISTMAS CHILDREN.
Rome Famous Men Who Were Born
on Christ's Birthday

Even were il not for its celebration
as tie birthday of the Saviour, Dec
- would rank as quite notable dat,
in tie year for the number of eminen
persons whose natal day it is. Curl
0usly enough. however. we seldom
think of the day as the beginning OF
the career of any one OH earth Other
than He 10 whom custom has assigned
Ii.
We know that historical events of
all sorts battles, sieges. and so forth
have occurred on Christmas, for arti-
cles almost without end dealing with
tlis interesting side of tie history of
the day have been written but of its
biographical side little has been said,
the more odd this because the fact that
many notableS have been born OH the
day cannGt fail to prove of interest.
Tie biographical INDEX of Christmas
is comparatively long and includes such
names as, S.r Isaac Newton, William
Collins, the lyric poet: L. 5. Gilmore,
tie musician and bandmaster Richard

CHRISTMAS IN SWEDEN.
One Day when There Are Neithe
Rich Nor Poor

One Day when There Are Neither
Rich Nor Poor.
If you were in Sweden on Christmas
eve you would hear the church bells
begin to ring at 5 o'clock, for every
body stops work then and the festlvi-
ties begin in great earnest everywhere
In the kingdom. Glass distinctions are
forgotten and servants are allowed to
sit at table with the family. After sup
per comes the universal Christmas
tree, for Sweden is one Of the early
homes of this beautiful custom.
On Christmas morning at Q o'clock,
while 1t Is still dark, you would go to
church, for everybody goes, unless you
stayed nc home TO mind the lights in
the house, for every home IN the king
dom is Illuminated. There is almost
sure to be deep snow. and you would
90 to chuych in a sleigh. Behind every
sleigh you would see two boys stand
ing on the runners and holding pine
torches-a beautiful spectacle as q long
procession Of sleighs gldes over the
snow on a forest road, These torches
are stuck up In circle around the
church. A whole week is given TO
good cheer and hospitality.

The Day of Hope.

The day of the Nativity is the day OF
hope-the day of hope to the struggling
conscience of man; to the human ma
ture which is uplifted In Christ and
made partaker of God; to the families
of men who believe that sacred human
love Is not given to perish with the
earth, but in Christ is destined to some
eternal purpose; to all who labor and
pray for the coming of n kingdom
where God shall reign in men, and men
Shall live in peace and good will. where
The war drum shall throb no longer and
the battlchags be furl'd
In the parliament of man, the federation
Of the world.
