Messrs. G. Nv. Blackburn, J. ~ Brown

chase after mad dog ono day last week.
The hound !, which was the property OF!
Mr.. Blackburn, had been kept chained

who happened to- be there at the time.
The dog showed no signs OF yiciousness
until turned loose 4 Ia the Enclosure. still
having the collar and chain attached!
Then it began Its swapping and snarllng
and making every effort to free itself by
leaping the wire fence. After watching
the dog 9 actions for 9 few moments ana

necessary n to seek shelter within 5st the
house, which 81 they sea rcely did before

The ChrI.tma.tide Lesson.

The Christmastide celebrates the
birth festival Of our Lord The in
carnation OF Christ Is the central
thought in the history of the world.
His birth has exalted the poetry, the
music and the art of the centuries 1t
has changed all social customs and re-
liglous rituals. II has given a new
glory to human life and a new trend
to eternity. This Is the time when all
bitterness should be forgotten. all fam
lily feuds reconciled and all life glori-
fed. God grant that the day may
speedily come when the song of the
angels celebrating the birth of the
Christ may find its fulfllment through
out the whole world.
GLORY to God In the highest and on
earth peace. good will toward men,

The nomnnce OF Ml.tIetoe.

BY the Teutons mistletoe was held
sacred to Baldur, the sun god, the son
of Freya, the Scandinavian Venus. In
Baldur all that was beautiful, elo-
quent, wise and good was honored,
and he was the spirit of activity, of
joy and of light. Predicting his own
approaching death, his mother, Freya,
exacted an oath from animals, planets
and minerals not to injure him. The
mistletoe among the plants had been
forgotten. When this was discovered
by the treacherous Hoeder, the blind
god of brute strength. he took a wand
of it. and. being directed how to aim
it, the mistletoe pierced Baldur through
the heart and he fell dead to the
ground.-Boston Traveller.

Of exquisite pain.
81 was nine years old. My brother
was twelve, and with superior strength
and determination he overruled my de-
sire. due to the boots, to turn back for
home. The trouble arose from the fact
that we had tallowed the boots the
night before. and the tallow had hard
ened. 1t was necessary to suffer until
the warmth of the foot melted the tall
low and made the boots less torture-
some. So we plodded on.
1T was onr first Christmas festivity.
We lived on farm two miles from
Bonneouyile. in Adams county. Pa.
and brother had conceived the idea OF
going to mass at the Catholic church
three miles distant. For this purpose
we had risen before 3 o'clock In the
morning. had quietly abstracted some
cakes from the jar in the cellar. and. as'
| have described. painfully trudged
to the town and the big church.
"It seemed big to the nine yearoId
boy, and it seemed gorgeous in its H.

heard of, and so many never dream

crowd and stood at the rear of the
church, and my boy eyes drank In a
scene which never has been nor prob

ny smiths Papa.
The loss of part of Santa Claus dis
guise at Christmas Sunday school en-
tertainment and the consequent dis
covery that ''he was only man after
alp' caused one little girl at least
acute distress.
Santa Claus was one of the cherished
ideals OF Sadie's childhood, and Sadie
parted with her ideals reluctantly. She
was sure she heard the reindeers scam
per over the roof every Christmas eve,
and the fact that even the gas logs
were pretty tight fit for the chimney
did not dispel the illusion that somehow
Santa Claus, despite his corpulence,
managed to slip through the tiny slit
with his pack and leave presents on
tree and in stocking.
So when she saw on the Sunday
school platform his hoary head and
beard, ssdr trimmed coat, fat stomach
and short legs--and, above all, his pack
-she greeted the familiar figure with
enthusiastic applause. Unfortunately
for Sadie's peace of mind. however, the
hoary hair and beard became entangled
in the branches of the Christmas tree
when Santa Claus began to hang up the
contents of his pack, and when he
Withdrew his head, sans hirsute adorn-
ment. he revealed the familiar features
of prominent churchman. Then the
Eassemblage was startled by desolate
wall that suddenly rent the air.

IN A GERMAN HOSPITAL.
Where the Christmas Angel Visits
Suffering Children.


In one of the German hospitals of our
country is observed custom quite In
accordance with the beautiful scnti-
nient the Germans weave about Christ
mas.
Christmas belongs TO the children
everybody knows that--but II belongs
10 them in deeper. more beautiful
sense than everybody knows. Cne
10 reminded OF il. however, IL he wit
ne3ses such scene as is portrayed in
this hospital on Christmas eve. One of
rhc nurses dresses in long. soft flow
ing robe of white. bearing in her hand
fir bough covered with snow. The
snow is cotton sprinkled with diamond
dust. This is the Christmas angel.
The children are told of the gentle
visitor and wait in their little cots.
When darkness is outside they hear the
strains OF sweet music in the distance.
The nurses are singing Christmas car
OILS. and the sounds come through open
doors. Then the Christmas angel
comes. She goes to each little cot,
bending over each little form to listen
to the whispered secrets. Each one
tells her what he wants on Christmas
day. Then, with n tender word, she
passes out. and to the sound of the car
OILS they all fall asleep-those who can
slip away from pain.
When the day dawns all the children
are taken into the kindergarten. Some
are carried. some are rolled, and some
can walk. Sure enough, each finds
there what he asks for--drums and
dolls and trumpets and books. On a
long, low table is plate for each one,
filed with candies and queer little Ger
man cakes. On one wall is tableau of
the Nativity made Of small wax figures,
and painting on the wall completes
the perspective of hills and shepherds
and the guiding star. Hanging from
the wall In the center of the ward Is a
large hoop covered with laurel. At In
tervals- around 1t are set lighted can
dies. 1t is suspended from the ceiling
by four wide ribbons
In the fever ward, where the con-
tagious diseases are cared for, the little
patients of course cannot leave, but
they have their Christmas too. Two
large, fine spruce trees stand in each
end of the ward, brilliantly illuminat-
ed by tiny. many colored electric lights.
