ing Make 1t Gala Day.

"TVHE man who spends his life on
board big passenger ship
sees about as many different
kinds Of Christmases as any
body, / guess" said the captain Of a
North German Lloyd steamship as he
sat in his cabin preparing for holiday
voyage to the Mediterranean.
with crowd of jolly passengers
aboard who are off on a trip to enjoy
themselves Christmas is day to be re-
membered. Friends and relatives send
gifts on ahead, so that they may be
handed to passengers at the right time,
and of course this personal remem-
brance from home makes more enjoya-
bic the celebration which Is always
prepared on board the ship itself. The
Oath of December passes about as do
other days until dinner time arrives,
and then the chefs and stewards Guido
themselves in providing an elaborate
menu and In table decorations.
IF the weather Is fine, as it is likely
to be, the passengers are In high spir-
its, for the Christmas feeling Is infec-
tious, no matter where you go. To-
ward the end of the dinner speeches
are made, songs are rendered, stories
are told and toasts are given, and when
this Is completed all go to the main sa-
loon, and the Christmas tree Is re-
vealed, standing there in the middle,
under the big skylight. 1t is big tree,
too, just as big as can be obtained and
put In place, and on 1t are hung gifts
from the ship for every passenger-not
costly at all, but remembrances that
are likely to be long preserved as SOU
venirs Of pleasant occasion. Then, IL
the sea Is not high. the candles are
lighted, and the tree bursts into beauti-
full illumination.
"After the distribution of gifts from
the tree concert Is given IL the weather
is bad, but whenever Christmas eve Is
pleasant and the latitude is suitable the
passengers go on deck, which they find
to be shielded from the wind by can.

terranean, for example, Christmas
eve aboard great ship is something
for most passengers to remember. Pm
sure can't imagine anything more
charming.
''The band plays lively music, and the
passengers dance on deck, but If they
imagine they are the only ones aboard
ship who are celebrating Christmas eve
they are mistaken. II they were to
look into the forecastle they would
see another Christmas tree there. also

Day of the Specialist.

Is your boy learning to do something
useful? Is he machine, a loafer CT
is he preparing to join that great army
that can do things no better than its
fellows?
The great problem in England just
now is what to do with the
unemployed. The other day in London
desperate man out of a job KILLED
his four boy sand himself. Thousands
sleep in the parks at night and beg all
day. The Salvation Army is arrang-
ing to send out-of-works to Australia
and to Canada. where there is greater
opportunity for unskilled labor.
And at the same time London is
searching and advertising for COM
petent employees. In many lines there
are not enough skilled men to fill the
jobs that are waiting.
There never was time when it was
so essential to teach the rising
generation to do something well, to
specialize, as now.
Hard times may pinch the skilled
workers. But for man who doesn't
know, who has not learned, and has
only his uneducated muscle for sale,
they mean tragedy.
You who have sons should remember
that in England while thousands are
crying for bread, there is skilled
labor famine.
1t is terrible lesson that should
have weight on both sides of the ocean.
The unskilled human is ship with
out rudder and it is only question
of time when he will go on the rocks.
The unskilled man loses individuality.
He represents only so much muscle,
and when he works his employer
knows him only by number. 1t is
impossible that he should provide for
his future or for old age. All his
life is fight for bread, aud at the end
of the road stands the poorhouse.

Here's One on the Bank.

A party deposited $500 in the Rice
Vile bank receiving call certificate
and at three different times drew out
500, making 5000 to his credit. The
bank clerk claims he made these pay
ments, but did not endorse them on the
books. The holder of the certificate
cashed it at another bank at face
value, and claimed he never had re-
ceived the payments charged. The
case went to the district court and
he bank LOST.

covered with little decorations and
gifts-the sailors tree. For, you know,
a German is only half a German with
out tree on Christmas eve, and every
German ship has one.
Long before the ship sailed from
her home port ON the Christmas voy-
age friends and relatives of each sailor
prepared some little presents, which
they sent forward in care of some ac-
quaintance in the crew so that their
particular sailorman might have his
surprise at the right time. OF course
these gifts are inexpensive. for the
sailors family has little money to
spare, but a pipe, warm stockings or
some such article is received aboard
the vessel and carefully kept until the
proper time, when all are hung on the

So, as you will see, there are usually
