DE MAR X.

In the latter part OF August a me-
mortal service was held in one of the
large Lutheran churches in Copen-
hagen, Denmark, in honor Of the DAN
ish-American visitors who were at the
time sojourning in that city. Bishop
Nordman made the principal address
and commended the Danish Americans
for their faithful adherence to their
Christian principles and to the church
of their fathers. They showed even
greater faithfulness than many of their
clergymen who remained in the father
land. number of other prominent
clergymen were present and partici.
pated in the services.
The King OF Denmark is very
wealthy man and it is said of him that
he makes some pretty good invest
ments from time to time He is much
interested too In business affairs and
is not averse to a little speculation
now and then. At present he Is re-
puted worth all of s25,000.000. Be Il
said to his credit, he is a generous
hearted monarch and hundSSds are
those who receive aid at his hands.
A robbery occurred In Berbstorffs
palace in the apartments occupied by
prince Waldemar. A sum of $1,000
was stolen from his secretary's room
directly adjoining. The princes
sleeping apartment was not entered. A
diligent search is being conducted. but
thus far there Is not the slightest cIew
as to who committed the robbery.
The Swedish Lutheran congregation
IN Copenhagen. Denmark, Is planning
to build a $4,000 church edifice In the
Danish capital. The Danish govern.
ment will contribute $4,000 towards
it, erection.

CHRISTMAS IN MEXICO.

1t was way down south in Mexico
that Caraminta lived-down where
they never have Christmas trees like
ours, but ''pinatas" instead. These
'pinatas" are paper boats horses or
maybe huge paper dolls OF different
kinds, filed with presents.
Caraminta's mother made last year
the quaintest "pinata." just like a
dainty little dancing girl From her
skirts and arms f1oated gay streamers
Of tinsel bright colored paper chains
and even some tiny bells dangled from
her toes like the girl of Mother
Goose fame.
That Christmas eve Caraminta was
told to invite some of her little friends
in, and how delightedly they ran into
the room where the gay pinata girl
hung from the ceiling! Taking hold OF
one OF the ribbon streamers, Cara
minta pulled IT, There was a sound
Of tearing paper, and the next mo-
ment out showered the gifts OF toys
candies and fruits.
Musicians were there playing on
their queer stringed instruments for
the older people to dance, while the
children had great fun playing with
their new toys and eating the dainties
showered on them by the "pinata.'
II seems to me that is pretty nice
sort OF Christmas tree after all. Don't
you think so. too?

Della paused.) That's why my mother

she thinks It's the best way.") Think
IL over, and If any time before the

read rose in your hair. II you can't
take me. wear a white. suppose ii
will take you all of the 13 days 20
make up your mind; but please. please
try to make II up sooner.

Della smiled TO herself as she
hugged the letter to her heart. 'Thir-
teen days." she laughed; then rushed
through the house to the garden,
where she plucked a red rose, and.
