Her LITTLE PRAYER.

Former Comptroller Edward NJ.
Grout Of New York city tells Il pretty
little Christmas story.
He said that little girl relative of
his was visiting her grandmother on
Thanksgiving day. Already the child
had begun to speculate on what Santa
Claus was to bring her at Christmas
time, and. as chidren-especially girls
will do when they are Mt the home
of an indulgent friend, she began to
rummage through closets and drawers.
In the course OF her investigation
she came upon brand new white muif.
1t was the very thing she had wanted,
and she knew that Santa Claus chief
purchasing agent grandma-had OBJ
tained 1t for her.
Taxed with It. grandma admitted the

THE THREE WISE MEN.
Who We're They? An unsolved
Christmas Mystery.

NH'os''eo
One Christmas mystery remains I'M
solved Who were the wise men Of the
east-the magl who followed the star
Of Bethlehem from afar to do homage
to the newborn Saviour
The simple story us told in the Bible
Is one of the most familiar In Christ
mas lore. Any child could rcclte 1t In
detail. Painters and sculptors have
made 1t the theme of the most inspired
products of their brushes and chisels,
but to this day the identity of these
wise men remains mystery, A
search of the great paintings in which
the subject is treated produces be
wllderment. There are half hun
dred different IDEAS presented. The
varying versions of the books Of the
ages are as many.
IL Is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received ut court
by King Herod ana that they carried
gifts of value that they were In their
own country men of royalty or close
10 It. Herod evidently deemed II well
TO treat them with Difference, for dis
quieted though he was by their news
of the comet that was 10 lead them to
the birthplace OF the Redeemer he dis
scmbled and told them that when they
had found the newborn he would re-
turn to worship with them.
Much Of our Information about the
early days of the Christian era comes
from the monks OF the fourteenth cen
tury, who delved deeply into historical
sources since lost to the world Their
story of the three wise men has recelv-
cd wide credence. According TO these
monks, the wise men were three great
kings called Caspar, Melcholr and Bal.
thQsar. Caspar was the oldest and
from the north. At the time OF the
birth OF Christ he was sixty years old
and for more than two-thirds OF that
time he had ruled In Arabia Baltha.
sar was black. native Of Saba, from
the east. and forty years old. ThS
youngest was Melcholr. from the south
whose country was Tarshish. He was
twenty years old.
Impelled by some mysterious power
they dropped all the cares of state ant
followed single star thirteen days
and nights without eating or sleeplnl
III u lcd them 10 Jerusalem.
Then the story follows that OF the
Bible until they returned to their owl
countries.

iouht whatever that such a road
would be great factor in stimulat-
ing more RAPID development. The nd
vantages both to Walla Walla and to
N'aIloWa would be mutual and
ahont equal. The citizens of
Wallowa are now in about the right
frame OF mind to take up an electric
proposition that would connect them
with the outside world and of course a
point OF connection that would give
them advantage Of competing lines of
steam roads would be preferred. The
suspension of work on the extension
of the Elgu branch has something to
do with this feeling. There Ia hardly
~ doubt that Wallowa county could in
normal times raise 100000 for an
enterprise Of this kind and of course
Walla Walla can raise AS much and
pro. ably several times more. Wa,-
lava has one advantage which Walla
Walla needs II much is to be done in
electric railway development and that
advantage is an abundance of power
The streams of Wallowa county for
every mile have power enough to op
crate good many miles of electric
road. Wallowa's wealth in this par
ticular is almost without limit, while
Walla Walla cannot extend line.
The news=record. [volume] (Enterprise, Wallowa County, Oregon) 1907-1910, 1907-12-19

much further unless it be into sections
that have the cheap power already
at hand.
While the present condition OF the
times will not permit OF immediate
railroad construction the halt is only
temporary and even under the present
cloudy appearance of things an elec-
trio line from Wallowa to Walla
Walla is not visionary. In countries
where there are no natural resources
of power electric road construction
has been making rapid advance,
There is day coming n this country
when electric roads will be as common
as wagon roads now are whether they
run from Walla Walla to Wallowa or
from Walla Walla to La Grande.

The story docs not stop here. 1t tells
clrcumstantlaIly the after life of the
three wise men. The good Apostle st,
Thomas journeyed to their country and
baptized them, and all three went out
to preach the doct"irc Of the Christ.
They were slain by barbarous gen
tiles, and later the Empress Helena,
mother Of Constantine, recovered their
sacred bones and took them to Con-
stantinople. Thence they were carried
to Milan and finally found an ultimate
resting place in Cologne, where they
now are.-New York Post.

The Winters Muffs.

Muffs are exceedingly graceful in
design this year, and W lille fiat effects
are still seen, the round muff is grad
ually asserting itself-not the actual
small, round, old-fashioned muff, of
course, but rather a compromise be.
tween tins model and the later fat
style One such .muff is a partly
rounded, affair made OF ermine, and
trimmed with mink, two entire boo les
being used. These bodies start under
the heads, curve upward, and then
take opposite directions, pointing
downward, ending gracefully in tiny
tails.--Woman's Home Com panion.

But" she said "you must forget all
about 1t until Christmas day"
That night as she was being put to
bed the child astonished her mother by
adding this to her evening prayer:

about the little white muff Santa Claus
is to bring."-New York Times
