The Babe of Bethlehem

With gifts OF myrrh and frankincense
The three wise men OF old
Journeyed in haste to Bethlehem,
The Christ King to behold.
El
There, in lowly manger laid.
They found on Christmas morn,
Mary the Virgin, clasping close
Her infant, newly born.
About them naught but poverty,
Yet the Madonna smiled
For though the world proclaimed a king,
She nursed this babe, her child.
The little hands. like lily buds.
Were by his mothers pressed,
And thus the Virgin Mary held
Her dear one at her breast.
So now it is. since ages dim,
On every Christmas morn.
The joy bells peal these tidings forth,
The Prince of Peace is BORN
Jesus of Nazareth. King of kings
:, A royal heavenly host;
But. ahI the title, ''Bethiehem's Babe,
The whole world loves the most.

Which Foot Walks Faster

You may think this a very silly
question 10 ask. but it isn't. 1t is
simple. demonstrabIe fact, which you
can prove to your own satisfaction
in very few minutes.
If you will take a pavement that
is clear. so that there will be no
interference. and walk briskly in the
center. you will find that before you
have gone 80 yards you have yeered
very much to one side You must not
make any effort, OF course. TO keep in
the center, but if you will think Of
something and endeavOr TO walk nat
uraIly you can not keep a. direct line
The explanation OF this lies IN the
peculiarity of one foot to walk faster
than the other. or one leg takes q
longer stride than the other, causing
one to walk to one side
You can try an experiment. in this
way by placing two sticks about eight
feet apart. and stand of about so
feet. blindfoId yourself and endeavor 20
walk between them You will find il
almost impossible.

WITH THE
Old Stories of Christmas

There are some so called "old stories
that are really not old. for they have
an interest a freshness and q beauty
that keep them ALWAYS new. OF such
are the story of Christmas and all the
legends and tales that belong to the
great festival.
There is a legend in Germany that
when Eve pIucked the fatal apple the
leaves of the tree Immediately shriv-
eled into needle points and its bright
green turned dark. The nature of the
tree changed and it became an ever
green, in all seasons preaching the
story of mans fall through that first
act OF disobedience. Only on Christ
mas does it bloom brightly with lights
and become beautiful with love gifts.
The curse is turned into blessing
by the coming of the Christ child, and
thus we have our Christmas tree
The visits of st. Nicholas to the
homes of the people on Christmas eve
as an annual custom grew out of
festival in honor of Hertha, Morse
goddess. At this festival the house
was decorated with evergreens and an
altar Of stone was set up at the end
of the hall where the family assembled
From Hertha's stone we get our word
'hearthstone" On the stones so set UP
were heaped fir branches, which were
set afire, and through the smoke and
flame Hertha was supposed to descend
and influence the direction of the
flames, from which were predicted the
fortunes of those present.

The Bell of the Angels

II is said. somewhere at twilight
A great bell softly swings.
And a man may listen and harken'
To the wondrous music that rings.
IL he put from his hearts inner
chamber
All the passion. pain and strife,
Heartache. and weary longing
That throb in the pulses of life.
If he thrust from his soul all hatred,
All thoughts of wicked things,
He can hear in the holy twilight
How the bell of the angels rings.
Let us look in our hearts. and question
Can purer thoughts enter in
To a soul if il be already
The dwelling of thoughts of sin?
So. then, let us ponder a little,
Let us look in our hearts, and see
If the twilight bell of the angels
Can ring for you and me?

Old Blind Jack

The game or Old Blind Jack always
occasions much hflarity.i To play it a
large pumpkin cut from yellow paper
muslin and basted on a sheet is needed
The features may be cut from darker
muslin and pasted on, omitting one
eve. To each member of the party is
given muslin eye, to which pin or a
cookie burr is attached. The sheet IS
stretched across the door and then, one
at a time, the players are blindfolded,
turned around three times and sent of
to. attach the eye wherever they think
it belongs. Varied and wonderful are
their attempts and the rooms ring with
laughter. A prize is given TO the one
locating the missing orb most accu-
rateIy and a consolation prize for the
biggest failure

t.egend of the Rabbit

The Indians OF the northwest have
many stories of the rabbit In for
mer days he was an important little
animal. His, life was one of ,much
pleasure He did not run so fast as at
present, but was a home animal. The
natives looked upon him as a god
and treated him with great respect.
Being small, he could get into diff
cult places and help the people out
Of troubles. He was always present at
the peace councils and his voice was
raised in behalf of the poor and afflicted
ones of the earth. His family had
many friends who sought assistance in
times of distress. The rabbit always
had long ears and used them to listen
to disturbances in the world. He
could detect the sounds of battle
quicker than any OF the inhabitants
of the earth.
One day, many years ago. say the
Old redmen. the sun stopped in it's
course and refused to shine upon the
earth. There was war among the
planets. Some of the most powerful
ones wanted a long day so that they
might win a battle by strategy. Then
the continent of North America was
dark and cold. All the people sat
about and shivered because of the cold.
Old rabbit watched for the sun to
shine until he became tired and
went 20 sleep. After many hours
he awoke only to be disappointed
The sun had not risen and the earth
was growing colder. Old rabbit got
angry. and talked pretty loudly about
the sun. But he went to sleep again.
While he was asleep the sun came up
and shone so hot that Il set fire to the
fur on the back OF the rabbit
With his bow and sheath of arrows
rabbit set out TO capture the sun and
be avenged for the injuries sustained.
He, went to the east and sat waiting
for the sun to come up over the noun
tains. When it peeped above the peaks
he began sending arrows at the face.
The first one was consumed by fire be
fore it reached the sun. The same fate
came to the second, third and fourth
arrows. But the rabbit wet the fifth
one with tear. Then it struck the
sun and scattered fire over all the earth.
That made the rabbit run for. his life to
keep out of the way of the fires. When
all was over he had changed TO fleet
footed animal. The sun moved its orbit
several hundred miles farther away TO
prevent being hit by the arrows. but has
never refused TO come up in the morn
ing and go down in the evening since
its battle with Old Rabbit.

A Peanut Janboree

For mixed gathering a peanut
jamboree Is very great fun. On little
tables. around each of which are placed
four chairs, are put trays holding un-
shelled peanuts, which the guests are
to spear with long hat pins provided
for the purpose. Score cards, on which
to write the number of peanuts caught.
are given the spearers. and those gain
ing the largest and smallest scores are
the winners of the prize honors. The
head table rings a bell when it is time
to begin and again when its tray is
empty. then all must stop PLAYING.
The two having the largest number
scored at the table where they are
seated pass to the next table, partners
being played if desired. The left hand
must not be used, and peanuts may be
removed from the pins only by rubbing
them against some part Sof the cloth
,rer)laced. In the tray

its neck come running along the oppo-
site side OF the street. The dog ran up

and was down Off the porch and around
to the rear like fash.
Judging from the usual conduct OF
dogs the first thought was that this
one was either searching for it's home
or looking hungriIy for stray bone.
At the next house the same per-
formance was repeated with equal
thoroughness. A little farther down the
street a man swung the gate open and
entered the yard at about the time the
dog arrived The dog followed him up

The man. who had forgotten Just at

city is now being done by improved
methods. was at q loss to account for
the dogs performance being repeated
at every house until he saw the animal
run out into the middle Of the street
and snifr at dark object lying there
The dog eircled around the object
several times and then darted of at
top speed
In short time It returned. followed
by another dog. Not far behind the
second animal was policeman who
had been trying TO keep pace with the
dog. Under the policeman's prodding
the object moved and proved to be a
man and got up and walked or un-
certainly down the street.

A FAMILY CHAT WITH THE JUNIORS

civic life with clean hands, and shall
find his house i'm order!
There are many women whose
sheltered protected lives have
spared them from contact with or
knowledge of many evil things that
exist in the world; there are others
who may have knowledge OF exist
ing evils. but who say: "Nhat can
an insignificant person like me do
toward remedying them! Why should
| bOther!s That is the answer OF
indifference that almost amounts to
criminal neglect. There is no per-
son so poor, so Insignificant or so
sick that he can not do something
toward removing evil influences and
conditions.
On the streets of Portland last
summer the figure of blind woman
was a familiar sight; blind woman
with kind, gentle face, who had
written her way to success and was
selling her book. She had mes
sage to deliver. Another picture is
that of a man stricken in the prime
continue an active business career,
yet with a brain as bright and
scintillating as clean cut diamond,
smiling cheerfully and patiently
writing his way to success: he, too,
has a message to deliver. and the
world will be the better for il. If
the invalid man and the blind woman
can do so much toward making bet
ter. cleaner social and civic sphere
for the child who Is growing up,
how much more can the men and
women do who are neither blind
nor sicks
Those who are doing what is
probably the hest work for the chill

cipals and supervisors of the pub

interest to the parents and teachers,
as well as the pupils of all the

The second page of The Junior

contest will be changed in a short

read the instructions given on the
second page carefully; the fifth
line to he supplied must rhyme with
the first and second lines, not with
the third and fourth.
The patchwork picture puzzles

to the younger juniors, as will be
seen by the long roll of honor that
is published today.

To a Cricket

Voice of summer. keen and shrill,
Chirping round my winter fire,
OF thy song I never tire,
Weary others as they will
For thy song with summers filled
Filled with sunshine. filed with Junes
Firelight echo of that noon
Heard in fields when all is stilIed
In the golden light of May.
Bringing scents of new mOwns hay.
Bees and birds and flowers away
Prithee, haunt my fireside still.
Voice of summer. keen and shrill.

A merry. merry Christmas. is the
greeting of The Junior Call TO its
large family of juniors. That they
might all be as happy and as gay on
Christmas day as are those Joyous
children. the citizens of JUniOrFille,
shown at the bottom OF this page,
WOuld be the best wish of The Junior
Call: but The Junior Call and all its
readers know that there are many
children TO whom Santa Clans Will
not come laden with gifts on Christ
mas morning, and who will perhaps
be told by their mothers that "Santa
Claus is poor this year, and has not
enough gifts TO go around" and that
they must be patient and recOnciled,
as was Harry Ford in Emma 4. Hell
mans story. "a Pair OF Red Topped
Boots" which appears on the third
page Of The Junior Call today.
Mrs. Helman'S story is splendid
illustration of the influence OF the
Christmas spirit i'm the wiping out
of class distinction and the estab-
lishment of equality, and it will
carry its beautiful lesson OF peace
and good will far and near and be
read with equal pleasure by the
child whose room is piled full Of
gifts and the child whose little
stockings are empty.
The Christmas gift in its true
sense is but the expression OF love,
and love may be expressed in many
WAYS other than in the equivalent
Of dollars and dimes.
The grOWnUpS are the natural
guardians of the little folks. and to
the grOWnups. as the agents or rep
reSentatiYeS of Santa Clans. the lit
tie folks naturally look for an ex-
PLANTATION if he fails 10 appear
The grOWRUps, in their capacity OF
guardian. are responsible for the
sort OF grOWnups the little folks
eventually become, and the best pos
sihle Christmas present that the
grOWnups can make is an increased
interest i'm the little folks. regard
ing them not merely as children. to
be taken care of and amused. but as
future citizens. upon whom will de-
pend t2e fate of the nation; upon
whom will rest the responsibilities
OF the government and OF the home.
4 prominent speaker recently leetur-
ing IN San Francisco dWelt upon the
necessity for more earnest moral
training of children, saying that the
solution of the civic problem rests
with the parents. who must do their
part, because at the present time the
burden of the training of children is
thrown upon the churches and the
schools, and that individual train
ing. aS applied 20 the individual
