WHEN SHEPHERDS
 WATCHED BY NIGHT

Some historians contend that the shepherds could not have watched by night on the Bethlehem plains in De- cember, it being period of great in clemency. In answer to this well known student says: Bethlehem is not cold region. The mercury usually stands all the month of December at 46 degrees. Corn is sown during this time and grass and herbs spring uF after the rains, so that the Arabs drive their fiocks down from the mountains into the plains. The most delicate nev' CT make fires until about the end of No. vember and some pass the whole winter without them. From these facts l think it is established without doubt that oui saviour was born on the 25th day of December, the day which the churcf throughout the world had united to eel ebrate in honor of Christ s coming il the nesh Washington Star

Santa Claus
 in Porto Rico

Christmas in Spain is religious fes- tival rather than social one. It was so originally in Porto Rico, but the pop ulation has been influenced partly by the spirit of the new world and partly by the many American merchants who reside in the cities and who exert influence much greater than the num- bers would seem to warrant.
 The churches welcome the day with chimes which begin at midnight and last until the midnight of the next day. What with one church beginning ten minutes too soon and another ten min utes too late and a third at the right moment, what with bells which ring every fifteen minutes and bell ringers who under some ancient custom will sound the great bells every half hour, the air is filled with music which never seems tO send.
 If you are near campaniles the eff feet is not altogether pleasant on ac- count of he volume of sound strik- ing the ear with too much force, but in pubhc square several hundred wards fronl the nearest belfry, where trees and buildings break the sound waves. or in suburbs on the hillside the effect is unspeakably delightful
 Pleasantest of all is it when you are sitting in the inner court or quadrangle of Porto Rican home. Around you on four sides the house rises above you and in the grounds or in great tubs and porcelain pots rich flowers, graceful vines and restful trees afford shade. color and perfume. The sound of the bells descends from the air above very much like a benediction. You sit in an easy chair and servants bring you tea or steaming coffee, sweetmeats and biscuits, cOnfections and cigarettes, while q daughter or son plays ancient songs or dances upon mandolin or guitar.
 The churches are crowded so are the clubs and most of the places of rec. reation Every vehicle is in use and here and there can be seen young men and women trying to initiate English models. Some of the people of the noun. | tain districts carry out many of their early superstitions in regard to Christ mas. They hang over the doors of their | houses boughs of trees which are sup | posed to>posSess charms and often con duet marriage ceremonies under great oanopies made of these charmed trees. 1 A great many wild flowers are ir bloom at Christmas tide and these arc worn by children of the mountain dis tricts in wreaths and garlands abou their heads, necks and waists. Th' Christmas giving is sadly missing il our new possessions. The churches hOlC no Christmas tree and there are few charitable societies to give feasts. How ever, one hospital for old people and or phans in Ponce gives a Christmas fete and the inmates have good meal an' receive warm clothing, medicines ant other needful gifts.
 The American occupation has brough extra Christmas cheer to the people O the island. The American residents eel ebrate the day in good American fash ion and, best of all, they put money int
 circulation and give zest to industr, and business.

stairs. She opened the great door just q little bit and slipped out into the darkness-really did slip, for it was very icy on the rocks and she sat down very hard. However, she ws~ very chubby and did not mind it. She crawled cautiously around to the big rock, the keen wind nipping her round cheeks and pelting her with the frozen drops of spray. She knelt down.
 ooh, please dood Lord, send us a doose! We want a doose awful. Won t you, please, dood Lord!'.
 Thud fell something right alongside of her. "sOh, what's dat?" she exclaimed, putting her hand out. 'Why, it s a doose.'' she cried, with q scream of de- light, as her hand came in contact with a soft, warm, feathery body.
 She forgot to give "thank you " for the goose, but she was thankful, though not so very much surprised She really had expected it. | It was a heavy load for Baby Deb, but she was excited and did not notice | it. She made her way into the light house and, step by step, batter, batter, she went upstairs and burst, all breath less. into the sitting room, crying ex. !ultantly 'It's tummed, it's tummed! v as the great goose fell from her arms upon the floor. Well, if you think they were not sur prised, you know very little about the Stoughton folks. What they said, no body knows. They all talked at once but by and by Papa Stoughton had a chance to be heard.
 "Where did you get if, Baby Deb? he asked.
 "Why, l p'ayed bod for it." an swered Deb in the most matter of fact way.

 "Paid Dod!" chorused the family.

 More questions and more of Baby Deb s explanations revealed the whol' story. Funny folks, those Stoughtons they spent the next ten minutes wipinE their eyes and hugging and kissing an' making up, pet names for Deb.
 Papa StOughton did say to Mamma Stoughton that night as they were go

 The great difficulty was to find sec' ret place for her devotions, for the fam. fly very we'll filled the lighthouse, and Baby Deb understood that prayers ought to be quietly and secretly made
 The place was found, however. Just in front of the lighthouse was broad ledge of rocks, generally washed by the waves, but at low tide, even i this bad weather, out of water. The other children had been forbidden to go there because it was dangerous, but no one thought of cautioning Baby Deb So there she went, and in her imper, feet way begged hard for the goose. Christmas eve came and still there was no goose. Baby Deb was puzzled the others were gloomy. Still Baby Deb would not give up. It would be low tide about : o'clock She knew that, for she had asked. She would make her last trial. She had hopes yet, but as the others knew nothing of her plans, they had absolutely no hope To them it was certain that there could be no Christmas goose at their house that year.
 Seven clock came and Baby Del crept softly from the room and down
