Star of Bethlehem.

That celestial phenomenon
known by astronomers as the
Star of Bethlehem. has been max
ing its appearance. 1t is visible
to Lamar between the hours OF
FIVE and six a. M. 1t comes in
the southeast and is about the
size OF half moon. 1t does not
look like star. but like a bright
light. This star is supposed to
have come into the universe at
the birth Of Christ. and is only
visible about every three hun
dred to three hundred and fifteen
years. The last time it was seen
was in the year 1872. Astrono-
mers have attempted to explain
its appearance but with very lit
sle success. They contend that
Two stars get into line with the
earth at the same time. OF course
this would be possible, but not
hardly probable, that even if two
stars dill get into the same line
tfcv would hardly make such
brilliant light as the Star of

>'In these last days of President
Roosevelt's administration it is
a pleasure to think how often III
these columns we have had the
privilege of agreeing or disagree
ing with him., writes the editor
OF Woman's Home Companion
for January. "Mr. Roosevelt has
made mistakes, as he would be
the last to deny, but he has done
the country one service which is
not written on the statute books
or on the records of his official
achievements. He has promoted
in the papers which the people
read, and. more important, in the
minds Of the people themselves,
an active discussion of questions
that had beiome shelf worn from
neglect. He has given publicity
to the Ten Commandments; he
has refurbished the Beatitudes !:
he has popularized Common Hon
csty. For these things let us give
him credit"
