Christmas at the Romanoffs'

Tt is very likely that young oman
off has been a pretty good boy all tf,e
wear. And yet consider what ne Inus
in his Christmas stocking-revolutlon
in his Baltic provinces, bloodshed III
his cities, starvation on his agricultural
lands, mutiny in his army, anarchy
everywhere.
crat of all the Russians and cannot
g,1ess in three guesseS just what he is
now, has managed to collect a ratnef
UNPLEASANT assortment of gifts during
the past year for young hopeful. Ut
h Car Nicholas is u very Ut
tie more responsible than the small
son whose nurse is holding him up to
the palace window this morning so he
can see the choo-choo cars go by
In fact, the Whole Romanoff family
must be wondering What it has to be
thankful for. The car got a note from
sOme of the main revOlutiOnlStS the
other day, telling him. kindly but firm
". that the best thing he could do
was to leave Russia, that he was no
longer ruler of the empire except IN
name. and that the popular patience
was exhausted with the Romanoffs.
And the worst part Of it is that the
present generation of Romanoffs isn't
| so very much to blame Things were
in the deuce-and-all Of a muddle when
Nicholas came to the throne. and if he
has increased the muddle it was only
like a veal man. and not like a wicked
man. (UnIess weakness is wickedness
in a king.)
Take it all in all. the Romanoffs
would probably be afraid to let Santa
Claus into the palace without stopping
| him on the front veranda n making
him prove that he was not an anarch-
ist i'm disguise, with anarchistic mi
crobes in those whiskers and anarchis-
tic bombs in every little tin trumpet
in his pack.
The jumping-jacks handed young
Romanoff will be carefully Inspected
to make sure there are no n~itro-glycer-
| inc attachments. There will be more
| depression than joy.
Still. it's likely that no one in the
family will starry to death in the
Tsarskoe Seio-the neighbors will al
least bring 'em in some food.-Atlanta

wrote. having reference to the great
ness of Harry Lehr.'-Raleigh Evening
Times.
Here is the character-Sketch Of
Harry Lehr published in the Same
issue CT Town Topics with Governor
Montague's review of politics and Ad-
miral Coghlan's discussion of naval
matters:
This gentleman is qualified for sue
cess in various directions. would make
p good lawyer or politician: the latter
because OF an inborn aptitude for
sounding public opinion. He has a ma
terialistic. matter-of-fact turn of mind.
Il keen insight into human nature. q
c~oid-blooded estimate Of life n the
things of life. and will crave obeisance
to his intellectual authority. He will
receive this. for he IS an amnivorous
reader and is fortunate in retaining
and producing in an original form the
wisdom cleaned from outside sources.
Like a finely strung instrument, he is
extremely sensitive 10 the touch Of a
master hand. and will be capable of
giving forth untold beauty and noble
ness when played upon by a nature
truer and .oftier than his own. Will
slip easily into Lies troublesome
highways and eat often of the apple

Now maybe the Times will tell us
what il means. Surely it would not

Thus, in substance, the old German
legend beautifully illustrates the ORR
gin of the Christmas tree. It adorns
its own tale and points its own moral,
but We would further emphasize The
lesson of Christmas.
The birth of Christ usnered out bap-
tisms OF blood and the immolation OF
human sacrifices upon the affairs OF
heather deities, done in the name OF
religion He zane to bless mankind;
TO inspire us to a better, a more useful,
and a holier life. Now life is what we
make. it. We are to overcome not by
power and punishment, but by kind
ness and sympathy.
In this gladstone time Of peace on
earth, good will to men," let us forget
old feuds, heal social breaches, exalt
the home. wish for the innocence and
trust Of childhood's days, disenthrcne
self, pity the fatherless, and bind UP
the wounds of the suffering and sor-
roWful.
We are still to have crosses, but
Christ is underneath them with us, ii
we but will it. Hell and destruction
are never full" but the bright, partic-
ular star of Bethlehem still proclaims
the ways of pleasantness and the paths
of peace.
Standing as we are on the threshold
Of the new year, the proyerbial season
of good resolutions, let US remember
that Christ taught us how TO live ,and
as the old yea Wanes, and the new

''Then pealed the bells more loud n

make the firemen' s tournament this
year one to be remembered, a mooel
for all future tournaments and one.
which will make all past tourna-
ments things forgotten. To arrive
at this happy end the people Of

hustle, because two years ago Han
cock had tournament which was
pretty good. But Houghton has a
record for never doing things by
halves, and the tournament this
year will be undoubtedly the best
ever seen.

country is greater than usual. A
number OF the fire departments have
signified their intention OF entering
running teams. 1t is the expecta-
tion OF Houghton businessmen tnat
