WHEN SANTA WENT AsTRAY.
Miracle of the Loaves Repeated For

The day of miracles has not passed.

affair, generously contributed to. and
turned out Il big success. But the most
notable thing about it was not on the

While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
$50 loaves of bread. The huge six

baskets of bread. One of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sent gift of bread to
be distributed and signed receipt for
the $50 loaves. In few minutes they
were handed around to the heads of
families. ard an additional smile Of
Christmas joy went around with them.

THE THREE WISE MEN.
Who Were They?-An UnsoIved
Christmas Mystery.

One Christmas mystery remains I'M

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

made it the theme Of the most inspired
products of Aheir 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 "A be

dred different IDEAS presented. The
varying versions of the books of the

that the visitors were received at court

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 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 Tarshish. He was

Impelled by some mysterious power
they dropped all the cares of state and
followed n single star thirteen days
and nights without eating or sleeping
| till 1t led them to Jerusalem.
Then the story follows that of the
Bible until they returned to their OWE
countries.
The story does not stop here. 1t tell
circumstantially the after life Of thu
three wise men. The good Apostle st
Thomas jOurneyed to their country ant
baptized them, and all three went ou
to preach the doctrine of the Christ.
They were slain by barbarous gen
