THE THREE WISE 4

One Christmas mystery remains

varying versions Of the soks OF the
ages are as many.
1t Is fair to assume fr0n the fact
that the visitors were rece red at court
by King Herod and that they Carried
gifts of value that they Were in their
own country men Of royalty OF close
to 1t. Herod evidently deemed 1t we'll

had found the reborn he would re-
turn to worship wi them.
Much Of our Information about the
early days Of thetChristian era comes
from the monks the fourteenth Gen.
fury, who delve( kdeeply into historical
sources -ir.ea lost to the world. Their
story Of the three wise men has receiv-
ed wide credencs According to these
monks, the wise men were three great
kings called Capar, 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 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 and
followed 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 own
countries.
The story does not stop here. It tells
circunstantially 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 bone and took them to Con-
stanthople. Thence they we're carried
to Milan and finally found an ultimate
resting place in Cologne, where they
now are.-New York Post.

Christmas Tres. For Cat.

Chritmas is the great religious fest
val when the kind heart finds nhqdy
ways Of ministering to the Joy apd
pleasure Of others. The good women
Of Bottom who originated and sustain
the Alimal Rescue league have hit up
on the unique idea of Christmas tree
for ths cats that are waiting for homes
at thf institution. A bush is provided
and timmed with meat and other suit
able eatables for such animals, and
just before they are turned into the
room the members of the Kindness
club are admitted to enjoy the antics
Of the cats.
This club is composed Of boys whose
ages range from eight to thirteen
years and is the outcome Of the
leagues work in a poor section Of Bos-
ton. They are pledged to do some kind
act each day and to protect animals
from cruelty. After the cats have de-
mo!ished the tree and gone to sleep
the boys are given refreshments and
sent home truly filed with the spirit OF
Christmas.-New York Mali and Ex-

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
100 loaus Of bread. The huge six

Jokes as he waddled about and took

full of bread, and behind him were
three q four negroes, also carrying
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 15Oloaves. In few minutes they
were minded around to the heads OF
