Mexico Christmas Eve

Christmas in Mexico lasts for nine
days. ending with Christmas eve.
They are described as ''the nine days
wanderings," being symbolical of the
wanderings Of the Virgin Mary and
Joseph in search of shelter prior to
the birth of Jesus.
One custom is to have nine families
of friends or relatives take part In this
quaint observation. Each family en-
tertains in turn for one evening all
the others. Both adults inc children
participate in the wanderlngs. Arriv-
ing at a house, they apply at the door
of each room for shelter, which is re-
fused by those within. Finally all are
admitted to the largest room, where
refreshments of cold meats, cakes and
wine are served. In many instances
the children are CARRIED in fanciful
costumes.
The last night of the wanderings.

Fortune For TOYS For tho Poor.

The poor children of Pittsburg and
Allegheny are to benefit through the
expenditure of an estate valued at
$4,000, left by the late George B.
Mutt. The will provides that the es-
tate shall go to the wife during her
lifetime and then is to be divided
among his children equally. If the
children all die before their mother, at
her death the estate is to be spent for
the purchase Of gifts and playthings
for poor children, especially those in
institutions. 1t was the wish of the
decedent that the money be expended
in small sums, to distribute it over as
large an area as possible and benefit
rs many children as possible.

Many of our business men are be-

are the best investments they a

Offices, who think that everything

work and play hard when they play.
The men who are everlastingly
grinding at their work. and who play
very little, not only age much faster,
but also as a rule accomplish much
less than those who take time for

The monotony Of the strain of per
petual grinding tends to unbalance
men. They become hidebound and
rutty. Their mentality shrivels. They
touch life at so few points that they
become narrow and very uninterest-
ing. All work and no play inevitably
