has been here (every bit of him. all
day, stirring up things. Jim is one
of the very best Elks in the state
and he has host of friends among
the Bemidji bunch.
A fine bunch Of Little Falls E]ks,
whose horns are in the velvet
during this summer weather, arrived
in the city last evening and proceed
ed to get into the Pasture" with
the browsers." They are warm

for any of the Elks from any other
delegation.
]. S. Scribner, he of the ball pate
and the seven-day-advantist look,
arrived in the city last evening
from Walker for the purpose of
mixing in the fray here. Serb"

Kangaroo court.
The Hibbing delegation Of Elks,

baseball team made a very favorable
impression upon the visiting Elks.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Ives of st.
Hilaire are among the Elks who
have been enjoying the convention

the most populars members of the
antlered bunch, from down Crooks
ton way, and in his day he could
hold his own with any of the
browsers.o We are not very well
acquainted with Mrs. Ives but we
can assure the lady that Harry's
rep with the Elks is that of being a |

Mary's life; II he has shown the quiet work

he should perceive and show as simply as pos.
sible the charm of that perfect ngure OF maiden

The Nativity.
2. The pictures OF the Nativity have a great.
er variety of incidents and of modes Of presen-
tation. The simplest are those which show
Mary and Joseph In the stable with the child
then come those in which the angels appear.
or the shepherds came to pay their alteration;
another conception represents the mother
alone with her babe adoring him or nursing
him. Pictures of the presentation In the tenn
pie. and perhaps some of the Madonna and
Child belong to the general theme OF the Ma.
tiSity because their central idea Is the advent
of Christ little babe.
Here the painters have found a wide
field for imagination. and have used large
liberty in expressing the feelings with which
different persons drew near to the holy child.
Mary is almost always shown as wondrously
happy: sometimes, as in Murillo's Alteration
of the Shepherds" lifting the cloth that GOV.
ers the child and displaying him with gentle
pride.
3. With the Alteration Of the Magi, a new ele
ment comes into the scene. These wise men
from the east. whether they kings
not, were the representatives of the outside
world
There are pictures which show the Magi on
their journey led by a star, sometimes
shining In the form OF babe In the sky: and
others which show them at the court of
Herod asking their way: and others which
show them being warned by an angel in a
dream not to go back to Jerusalem: and 9TH
ers which show them returning by sea to their

ers have chosen the moment at which the
gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh were
presented to the child. Here there Is room for
splendid color and dramatic contrast.
4. The Flight into Egypt is the contrasting
companion. piece to the Alteration of the Magi.
The one brings the great world into the dwell
ing of the Child Jesus: the other carries the
Child Jesus out into the great world.

the painters and embodied in their pictures
Suppose you have a picture Of the Annuncia-
ton which represents Mary as passing through
a garden when the angel came to her: that is
In accordance with the Protevangelium which
says that Mary was chosen by lot from among
the virgins Of Nazareth to spin the royal
purple Of the Temple veil: day,
she was returning from the fountain with her
pitcher of water. the angel met her and said:
Hail. thou who art full of grace!" and when
she went back to her spinning he came again
to her to complete his message II the picture
represents Mary in the house. working at the
veil, the artist has chosen to show the
ond appearance Of the angel. The emblems
which the artists put into their pictures are
significant. The pot of lilies nt Mary's side.
the liy-branch in the angels hand symbolic
purity. The olive-bough borne by the dove
means peace.
Or here Is a picture of the nativity which
shows the Child and his mother and Joseph in
a cave. This is according to the account Of
Justin Martyr land quite in harmony with
the customs of Paestine), that the stable Of
the inn where Christ was born was a grotto
in the rocks. Here perhaps you see the OK
and the ass bowling their heads before the
child. This is told by the gospel OF the pseudo
Matthew in fulfllment of the prophecy OF
Isaiah: THE OK knoweth his owner and the
ass his masters crib" Here, again, is a daz-
zling supernatural light radating from the
child so that shepherds who have Just entered
must shade their eyes. This detail is given
in many legends.
How the story Develops.
The five chief points around which the paint
ings of the birth and childhood Of Christ nat
urally group themselves are D The Annun-
citation; (2) The Nativity; (3) The Alteration
of the Magi; (D The Flight Into Egypt; (6)
The Home at Nazareth.

chapter of st. Luke. and with 1t are associated

and meekness Of Mary; the Joy with which the
angel brought his message. and the awe and
wonder with which she received the new con-
ception of her son as the Son OF the Highest,

this joy are not expressed. II in addition the

In the world has been illustrated by SO many
famous artists 1t Is easy to see some Of the
reasons which have made 1t favorite subject.
First, there Is the religious interest which
centers In the entrance OF the Divine Saviour
into the world. Such an event, for all who be-
heve In the Christian religion. must have
profound Significance. 1t is the sunrise of
faith. the beginning OF a new spiritual world.
the laying Of the cornerstone of the kingdom
OF heaven on earth. Even II the artist himself
were not sure of this. did not altogether be-
lieve II, he would know that other people be-
neved It: and by the Imagination he could see
what a supreme Importance was given by the
faith OF Christendom to the brief and simple
story Of the birth at Bethlehem.
Second, there is the human interest which
clings to the ever beautiful relation Of mother
hood and childhood. The tenderest and most
unselish love Is that with which a true moth
er looks upon her little child: the most perfect
innocence and trustful Joy are revealed in the
deep eyes OF the baby who smiles into the face
of his mother bending over him. The paint
ings Of the Child Jesus and the Virgin Mary
have drawn into themselves the best thoughts
of men concerning the gracious secret of ma
ternity and the unstained bliss OF infancy.
Fantastic Legends.
Third. there is the poetic and pictorial inter
est which grows out Of the incidents OF the
story. the strange contrast between the heaven
ly Significance of the birth of Christ and its
outward circumstances the blending Of light
and shade. joy and sorrow, hope and fear, an.
gelic songs and earthly prosecutions All these
varied elements centering about a single figure
afford a field OF illumination and Illustration
such art loves.
My first advice. then. to those who wish
thoroughly to appreciate and enjoy these pic
lures would be to read and re-read the gospel
of st. Matthew from the eighteenth verse of
the first chapter to the end OF the second chap
ter, and the first two chapters OF st. Luke's
gospel Then 1t would be wise to read some
of the later legends which were woven In the
apocryphal books. and in the medieval poems
and narratives about the birth and childhood
of Christ. Many of these legends are curious
and fantastic, evidently allegorical and SYMBOL
cal. They have none of the simple directness
and quiet restraint of the Biblical history
They are. in effect. clear illustrations Of that
native trait OF the human mind-familiar to
every who has tried to tell true story
to a chld-the craving for picturesque detail.
"How did It happen? Where did 1t happen?
Who was there? How did they look? What
did they do afterwards" These are the ques-
tions that children ask when they hear a story;
and these the questions to which men have
given fanciful answers in the apocryphal and
mediaeval legends. such the protevangelium

main divisions: those which represent its ac-
tual journey and those which show the Holy
Family resting. either by the way. or In the
land of Egypt. The paintings which deal with
the latter theme-cOmmonly known as the Re
pose-include some of the most beautiful works
of art, especially during the last three centu-
ries. Many details have been introduced from
the legends of the flight in which the apocry-
phal History of the Nativity of Mary" Is par
tculary rich. This Is one of them: THE Holy
Family rested by the road beneath date palm
and Mary desired to eat OF the fruit; but 1t
hung high above her head. Joseph being
weary was not able to climb the tree. But the
Child Jesus knew his mothers wish, and at his
command the tree bent down its branches
Then he thrust his fingers into the sand and
a spring of water gushed forth. The next morn
ing Jesus thanked the obedient tree and prom
ised that one of its branches should be carried
by the angels and planted in Paradise"

little children that run and float beside the

the glories of heaven reflected. Joseph
does not see the spirits. doubt whether even
Mary sees them clearly. But Jesus recognizes
his former playmates with Joy. He leans from
his mothers arms to greet them. holding out

Heaven.

it true picture to the eye of what faith be-
holds in the religion of Jesus? Surely If this
gospel has any meaning it is the bringing or
light and blessing to the suffering little ones
of earth; a deeper compassion and a tenderer
care for them. and the promises OF a heaven
full of happy children.
