LITTLE GIRLS PLEAD
FOR AND AGAINST A DOG

Two girls. and years old. appeared
before Judge Bowman in the city court
yesterday TO use their most persuasive
powers. one as chief witness for the
prosecution. the other as chief witness
and Interpreter for the defense. in giving
testimony about the actions or an alleged
vicious dog.
The dog belonged to John Carlow an
Italian, and It was his daughter Frances
who interpreted and tried TO convince
the court that the canine was as gentle
as a lamb.
This argument was set forth against
the charge Of Mrs. Mary Stewart of So
South First West street, whose daughter
Virgil was there to tell of the alleged
savage attack made upon her by the dog
Throughout the testimony the children
shot at each other Occa sionaI glsnces
that seemed to be anything but friendly
Upon the suggestion of Prosecutor Rog-
ers the case was continued until Mon
day in order to summon certain neigh
bors TO the court room to give their
testimony

Here's their letter with your address

The young man reached out a sha-
king hand for the letter. The other
watched his face as he read. When
tear fell with splash on the cramped
writing, the grocer spoke again.
"You can send me to Jail for doin'
what I've done, Tommie. In one way
1t was wrong, very wrong. I've been
guilty of openin' letters"
The other held up a thin hand as
though to ward off a blow. Then he
rose weakly and came over to the big

big smile. He took the boys hand.

until after Christmas. He moved to-
ward the door. Then he turned.
Shall l fetch you anythin?" he asked
gently.
Nothing" answered the young
man, smiling. "Pm perfectly satis-

An hour later the grocer carried an
armful of groceries and threw them
into the back of the sleigh. Merry

Santa Claus Abroad.

1t is strange to contemplate the
great variety of forms the Santa Claus
custom assumes in different countries.
In Belgium the little ones fill their
shoes with carrots and oats and hay
for the white horse st. Nicholas is
supposed to drive. Very early in the
morning they run to the room in
which their shoes have been left and
find that the provender has gone and
in its place candies and presents are
found.
Among the Carpathian mountains it
is st. Peter, who, dressed as a bishop.
and accompanied by the dreadful Ru-
precht is expected by the children on
Christmas eve. The visitor first de-
livers a short sermon, lays on the
table a rod whitened with chalk, and
takes his departure with his tinkling
bells, while Ruprecht follows close be
hind. The children now hasten to pull
off their shoes, polish them and tie
thcen together; and, as soon as the
last notes of Niklo's bells have become
lost in the distance they run into the
garden and secrete their shoes be-
meath a bush. They spend the time
until 10 o'clock in relating stories,
then go to their shoes, to find them
filled with apples, nuts and goodies

THE ROAD TO CHRISTMAS
In Retrospect Grandfather Pictures
Yuetide Journeys of Many
Years Ago.

All the year long we have been
travelling toward Christmas and my
old wife, our children and our grand
children-not all by the same road,
not all with the same expectations,
but all looking out alike for the first
glimpse of its smoke rising above the
wintry landscape of the year Now
we can almost fancy that we hear
the Ginning of the famous bells-all
Christmas towns are famous for their
bells-and we know that we shall soon
be at our inn.
If life be a journey, and each
year a stage upon the road, | do not
know where else a sensible man would
stop for the recruiting of his health
than the fine old Christmas towns.
There, if anywhere, men are to be
found living together merrily; the inns
are warm, the cheer is good, the
amusements are of the heartiest. and
the society is of the best | have been
through many Christmas town-for
| have travelled far-and have rested
thoroughly in each. I never found two
of them alike. Of late they have been
much grayer and quieter than they
used formerly to be; but | do not
think that | have been less happy of
the quiet towns at which | have of
late years resided. Let me confess so
much. AS for these about me who
declare them to be not quiet by any
means, but perfectly uproarious with
jollity, do not interfere with their
opinion. Children so easily deceive
themselves; it is enough for me that
| am old enough to see things as they
are

NO STAR TO GUIDE
THE POSSIBILITY THAT ESCAPED
THE WOMEN OF Bethlehem.
Some Name Might Have Rang
Through All Ages Had She But
Known the Spirit of Christ
mas Hospitality.

~1 HE child born in the
kNYrE1 stable of Bethlehem,
( ~s9&a because there was no
9S@1 room for them in the
a4a9 inn," was heralded by
A&k8S angels to the shepherds
NJ II and by a star to the
SfeSlEY wise men; but no voice
~ told the mothers of
Bethlehem of the wonder which was
happening in their town that night.
Suppose some gentle woman had
met Joseph and Mary on that Won
derful Day, as they entered the town,
and had said to them: Our streets
are full of homeless strangers. Come
you and bide with mel" BY that sim
pie act of hospitality, her name
would have been written high, high
among the names of earths happiest
folk. Blessed is she," we should
have cried, Ito whose home the
Christmas joy first camel" But the
women of the Judean town did not
know to throw wide their doors and
bring in the worlds gratitude and
love, says the Youths Companion. So
the Child was laid in a manger, and
oblivion holds the names of all the
women in Bethlehem who slept that
night beneath the wings of wondering
angels. Had they but known!
Year by year, for 10 centuries the
story of the night at Bethlehem has
been told and retold. To-day no house
hold in Christendom, in town or viii
lage or on distant prairie can plead
the ignorance in which Bethlehem
then lay. If the door is shut on
the Christ-child to-day, it is not from
lack of knowledge but from churlish-
ness or Indifference.
The Christmas spirit speaks in
many voices. The sprig of holly or
the plum pudding, the tree laden with
gifts or the cheer for the lonely
these are all the worlds way of say
ing to the Mother and the Holy Child,
abide with u.s."
Barred out alike from cottage and
palace and inn in Palestine the Hope
of the World renews his appeal each
Christmas-tide to our modern Chris
tian world. By the very pathos of the
first Christmas, the heart is softened
and prepared to give him welcome.
To-day there is no heralding angel or
guiding star
No ear may hear His coming
But in this world of sim
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in.
