THE THREE WISE MEN.
Who Were They? An Unsolved
Christnlas Mystery.

VhS IiSJ - All OHSOlNCO
Christmas Mystery.
One Christmas mystery remains m.
solved. Who were the wise men OF tie
east-the magi who followed the star
of Bethlehem from afar to do homage
to the newborn Saviour?
The simple story as told in the Bible
Is one of the most familiar in Christ.
mas lore Any child could recite it in
detail. Painters and sculptors have
made it the theme of the most inspired
products of their brushes and chisels
but to this day the identity OF these
wise men remains a mystery A
search of the great paintings in which
the subject is treated produces be
wilderment. There are half a hun.
dred different ideas presented. The
varying versions of the books of the
ages are as many.
1t is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received at court
by King Herod and that they carried
gifts of value that they were in their
own country men of royalty or close
to 1t. Herod evidently deemed 1t well
to treat them with Difference, for dis
quieted though he was by their news
of the comet that was to lead them to
the birthplace OF the Redeemer he dis.
sembled 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
fury, who delved deeply into historical
sources since lost to the world. Their
story of the three wise men has receiv.
ed wide credence. According to these
monks, the wise men were three great
kings called Caspar, Melchoir and Bal.
thasar. 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. The
youngest was Melchoir, from the south,
whose country was Tarshsh He was
twenty years old.
1mpelled by some mysterious power
they dropped all the cares of state and
followed a single star thirteen days
and nights without eating or sleeping
TIL it led them to Jerusalem
Then the story follows that of the
Bible until they returned to their own
countries.
The story does not stop here. 1t tells
circumstantially 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 doctrine 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 we're carried
to Milan and finally found an ultimate
resting place in Cologne, where they
now are.-New York Post

WHEN SANTA WENT ASTRAY,
Miracle of the Loaves Repeated For
Washinqton's Poor

The day of miracles has not passed
according TO the firm belief of a hun.
dred or more poor people in Washing
ton. Last Christmas day Almas TEN.
pie of the Shriners gave its annual din.
ner to the poor. 1t was a we'll planned
affair, generously contributed to, and
turned out a big success. But the most
notable thing about it was not on the
programme and made the hit of the
occasion.
While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
$50 loayes of bread The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
jokes as he waddled about and took
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree. In the middle of one of his sto
ries there entered another big, fat San
full Of bread, and behind him were
three or four negroes, also carrying
baskets Of bread. One of the Shrinet
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sent a gift Of bread to
be distributed and signed n receipt for
the $50 loaves. In few minutes they
were handed around to the heads OF
families, and an additional smile OF
Christmas Joy went around with them
When the festivities were nearly
over and the crowd had begun to dis.
perse a man came running in and ask.
ed:
did you get $50 loaves of bread"
1--WE did" was the reDly
"What did you do with it?'
Gave it away"
"Well, that was an order from the
Carroll institute. 1t came here by
mistake. But it is all right. We are
glad you gave it away, and if you need
more let us know" and the man went
away, evidently fully satisfied with
the incident.-New York Times.

ELECTION CONTEST DECIDED
Recount of the Vote Makes but Slight
Change, and None in Previous Result

The town council met last Friday
night to take up the Fritz-King contest
to seat in the council.
Notwithstanding the law is very ex-
plicit and makes each council the ex-
elusive judges of the eligibility Of its
members the old council decided by
vote to open the ballot and make a
recount. After the motion passed to
open the ballot, the same council
man moved that evidence be intro
duced to show that there was ground
for a recount. 1t probably did not oc-
cur to the council that the evidence
might have shown that there was no
ground for contest, in which event it
would only have been necessary to
close the ballot up again. After pass
age, however, the motion was not act
ed upon, as one Of the attorneys for
the contestants made the statement
that both parties to the contest had
agreed to the recount and would abide

Examine Your ChImneNs.

Acting on the suggestion made by
one OF our readers last week, we had
S. A. Williams, an expert chimney
builder, make thorough examination
of our chimney for defects, and whils
we did not find any very strong evil
dence of their being in dangerous con-
dition, yet, as precautionary measure,
we had the sides next to the wooden
walls thoroughly plastered over. That
was very rational conclusion that our
correspondent came to: A blast that
was heavy enough to throw down
chimneys was also heavy enough to
damage those that it did not throw
down. To have an examination made
will not cost more than a dollar or two,
and may prevent a fire loss Of ten or
even many times that amount. A
stitch in time may save nine.

EARTHQUAKE AT CASHMERE
The Disturbance Came Early last Sunday
Morning.

About S o'clock last Sunday morn
ing, say the truthful Jameses OF the
peaceful village, distinct quake was
felt. For several minutes, says the
Cashmere dispatch, the inhabitants
were in a state bordering on terror.
Some thought it to be rumbling thun-
der, but others who were awake at the
time say it was a genuine subtenanean
disturbance.
A. J. Amos, the town attorney, said
he was awakened by what sounded at
first like distant thunder. The dis
turbance kept increasing and finally
the earth trembled violently, and build
ings began to shake and dishes began
to rattle and some fell from shelves to
the floor.
Some thirty miles from Cashmere, in
the region about Lake Chelan, scarcely
a week passes but what earth tremors
are felt. This has been going on SC
long in that section that people take
very little notice OF the disturbances
1t is possible that Cashmere is in the
Lake Chelan earthquake zone.
