"But one Saturday the penetrating

Always and forever massive white
marble wall would rise between me and
the coveted amber-cOlOred casks. Yet,
unlike the Sphinx, this mass of stone
would talk. 1t said:
"This much is mine. Let the player

Then came more cries of help to rescue
other stored amber casks, but ever and

the uniform saying, "rhis much is

Suddenly my friend was at my side
again.
"My son." said he, "you may begin
this game with one and quarter, and
store up these pretty amber.colored
casks.
"If you then hypotheCate, for less, Of

"And you never get back any of the
pretty amber-colored casks?" sighed
in query.
"No. Not any. If some one said the
players sold their holdings (started with

because they either did not know any

This being in love takes up more

Why do parents always boastingly
give the weight of what the stork
brings them?
You can't depend on anybody but
yourself, and you can't depend on
yourself much.
Most of the men who get up color
ed posters for the circuses have never
seen the show
The least envious Of women envy
a man the ease with which he can
wash his head.
1t is a wonder this headline does not
appear in the papers oftener: Papa
Burns Her Trousscau."
1t is the easiest thing in the world
for a man to write love letter to his
wife; just enclose a check.
A millionaire. Alonzo, is quite likely
to be a man who pays taxes on hun
dred thousand under protest.
We would hate to be a preacher.
Just the time he gets a church paid

that which he doesn't want to do; he
won't do 1t, and will hate you, besides.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN 8ETHLEHEM
Observances in the Christian Town Set
in the Heart of NOLAN m danism.

in the Heart of NOLAN IN edanism.
Bethlehem, the central spot of interest
in the Holy Land at Christmastide, is a
Christian town set in the heart of Mo-
hammedanism, where once a year the
Greek church grants the use of the grot-
TO OF the Nativity to the Latin church,
says London Sphere. The ceremonies be-
gin on Dec "a by the image of the
youthful Christ being carried from the
baslica of st. Helena to the sacred
grottO of the Nativity, where the tradi-
tlonal spot of Christ's birth is marked by
a silver star set in the rocky pavement.
The service begins at 10 o'clock in the
evening. 1t opens with the chanting of
psalms without any musical accompan-
ment. The patriarch of Jerusalem usu-
ally oficiates in the grotto, but on this
occasion he is represented by the Latin
bishop. The interior of the church is
most picturesque, for there are only a
few chairs provided for foreign visitors.
while the bulk of the congregation is
made up of the Bethlemite women in
their blue dresses with red frontlets.
wearing peaked caps when married and
fiat caps covered by white wells when
single
As they enter the church they at first
kneel down and then sit upon the ground
in true oriental fashion. "In the dimly
lighted church." says one who has seen
the service, these squatting varicolored
figures, with their beautiful faces lit up
by fits and starts by flashes of the can
dies, intent on devotion, seem like so
many modern Madonnas come to cele-
brate the glory of the first Madonna"
Precisely at midnight the pontifcal
high mass is celebrated, the figure of
Christ is brought in a basket and depos-
tied upon the high altar, and the process
sion forms to accompany it to the crypt.
As the long, chanting procession winds
through the dimly lighted church there
is something weirdly solemn about the
ceremony, and as the sacred image
passes various acts of worship are per-
formed by the devout attendants. On
the procession moves through the rough
hewn, dimly lit passages from the Latin
church to the grotto of the Nativity.
When the procession of richly robed
ecclesiaSticS reaches the silver star set
IN the pavement the priests pause and
stand IN group about the basket, which
is deposited upon the star Around this
star is the inscription, 'Hic de virgine
natus est" c'Here he was born of a
virgin'), for this is the spot upon which
tradition places the actual birth of Je-
sus. There the impressive narrative of
the birth of Jesus as found in the gospels
is slowly recited, and when the pas
sage duke H., ~ And she brought
forth her firstborn Son and wrapped
him in swaddling clothes and laid him in
manger, because there was no room
for them in the inn," Is read the figure
is reverently picked rp from the star and
carried over TO the opposite side of the
grotto, where it is put into rock cut
manger. This concludes the service.

viii turn down the lights and tell ghost
stories till midnight" The young people
fell in with the spirit of fun, and ghosts
walked, hobgobblins shrieked and ghouls
moaned, till the more timid begged for
mercy.
1t was almost twelve o'clock when a
new voice suddenly broke into moment
airy pause. Everyone looked up to see
the musician standing in the door
My friends" he said, my story is
not of the spirits of the unseen world
it is of lad who once, on a night like
this, left home and friends and went
out into the wide world. with Music as
the priestess who presided at the altar,
where burned the fires of his ambition.
Shipwreck, a weary sickness and deliy-
erance a miscarried letter returned to
its writer long afterward-all these came
to the lad. and when at last, overcome
by the deadly 'heimweh,' he turned to-
ward his home, he found it empty-the
loved ones gone. The years have passed
and the lad is a man, but the father and
the mother he has not found, nor does
he expect to greet them again until the
New Year Of heaven dawns for him, as
ne DeleFeS It mas dITeduy udMueu LOT
them. So, when the midnight comes l
play each New Years Eve as las the
lad played on that last night long ago
my message to my dear ones"
The clock on the mantel warned for
twelve, and the musician turned to the
piano and played again simply and low
ingly PleyePs hymn, singing as in the
long ago the beautiful words his mother
loved.
AS the last note died away in the quiet
room the tower clock began to strike,
but was drowned by the music of the
chimes. A thrill ran through the hushed
circle as they recognized the strain they
had just heard, but the musician arose
with a mighty cry, 'Mein Water" and
ran out into the night, guided by the
music of the bells.
When the old bell-ringer shut the door
he could not see, for the tears that blind
ed him, the hurrying figure on the pave
ment. A moment later he was gathered
close to the heart that yearned for him,
and together, in the opening of the glad
New Year, they went out from til
