drive through. The death is, indeed,
sad one.

Ruprecht follows close behind. The
children now hasten to pull off their
shoes. polish them and tie them to-

notes OF Niklo's bells have become
lost In the distance they run into

Christmas Musings.

There are warmer handshaklngs

Smith. than during the. bypast ~
months. Friend lives in the mind
of friend. There Is more charity at
this time than at any other. Poverty
and scanty clothing, and fireless
CRATES come home TO the bosoms of
the rich and they give of their abun-
dance. The very redbreast of the
woods enjoys his Christmas feast.
Good feeling incarnates itself in
plum pudding. The Masters word
"The poor ye have always with you, y
wears at this time a deep signifi-
canoe. For at least one night on
each year over all Christendom
there is brotherhood. And good
men, sitting amongst their families,
or by solitary fire like me, when
they remember the light that shone
over the poor clowns budding on
the Bethlehem plains 1890 years ago
the appaTltlon OF shining angels
overhead. the song, peace on earth
and good will towards men," which
for the first tlme- haliowed the mid
night air-pray for the strains full

vex the nations no more, that not
only on Christmas eve. but the year
round men shall be brethren. own

Getting Xmas Dinner

land herds. In this instance we felt
particularly revengeful because 1t
was but a few days since we had lost
a fine yearling heifer. The tracks
on the hillside where he carcass lay
when We found II told the story
plainly. The wolves, two IN number
had crept up close before being dis
covered, and had then raced down on
the astounded heifer almost before
she could get fairly started. One
brute had hamstrung her with a snap
OF his vise-like jaws. and once down
she was torn open in a twinkling.
No sooner was the sun up than a
warm west wind began TO blow in our
faces. The weather had Suddenly
changed, and within an hour the
snow was beginning to thaw and to
leave patches of bare ground on the
hlllsides. We left our coats with
our horses and struck off on foot for

cedar canyons and gorges. In which
we knew the old bucks loved to lie.
II was noon before we saw\anythlng

had 10 do was 10 drink a draught OF
icy water and MUNICH a strip OF dried

broken by little lodges grown up
with wind ibeaten cedars As we
lpeeped over the edgs. my companion
touched my arm and pointed silently
to one OF the lodges. and instantly
caught the CLINT OF bucks horns as
he lay half behind an old tree trunk.
A slight shift OF position gave me a
fain shot slanting down between his
shoulders, and though he struggled
to his feet he did not go so yards
after receiving the bullet.
This was all We could carry. Lead.

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

All the year long we have been
travelling toward Christmas and
my old wife, our children and our
grandchildren-not all by the same
road, not all with the same expecta-
tons. but all looking out alike for
the first glimpse OF its smoke arising
above the wintry landscape of the
year. Now We can almost fancy
that we hear the Ginning of the fa-
nous be.ls--all Christmas towns are
famous for their bells-and we
know that We shall soon be at our
inn.
IL life be but 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. II anywhere, men
are to be found living together
merriiy; 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 a Christmas town-for | have
travelled far-and have rested thor
oughly in each. | 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 hap
py of the quiet towns at which I
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 in
terfere with their opinion. Chill
dren so easily deceive themselves:
It is enough for me that am old
enough TO see things as they are.
