Have you ever been through a West
Indian hurricane7' said a member OF a
party discussing the recent storm in ia
maica. d you want to know what the
experience is like7"
"a hurricane will leap out of a clear
sky. swoop down on a city, blow every
thing in its path flat and pass on. Then
follows the tail of the hurricane. a steady
breeze blowing in the same direction. but
at a much lower velocity. This is likely
to continue for many hours. sometimes for
many days, and is always accompanied by
a tOrrential downpour OF rain.

Christmas HymnoIogy

A Literature to Which Christians of All Denomination Have Con-
tributed and in Which People Of All Faiths Are Interested.

he wrote it in the year 1909. The poor
poet died in a debtors prison In South
wark In Ills, when ''devout women not a
few we're singing hymns in the churches
close by.
Charlotte Elliot, the bedridden poetess,
who has given US Just as ] Am" has
also bequeathed to the church a Christ
mas carol. Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne
and Thy Kingly Crown"
The earliest Christmas hymn was un-
doubtedly the "Glorla in Excelsis,' which
was probably one of the hymns which the
Christians were singing In church at
Christmas In Nocamodia when Diocletian,
the emperor. ordered the church to be
closed and the whole congregation, young
and old, burned 20 death.
1t is strange that while we know that
Christmas and the Epiphany were cele-
brated by the singing of hymns, no ancient
carols have come down to us.
There is an old carol dating from the
fifteenth century which has the Gloria in
Excelsis" for a refrain. 1t begins:
A Babe was born all Of a maid
To bring salvation unto us.
No more are we to sing AFRAID
Veni creator Spiritus.
One of the best carols Of the Elizabethdn
period IL that by Robert S%outhwell, a Jesuit
priest who was sent to convert England,
but who was seized by her Protestant
majesty Elizabeth and imprisoned in the
Tower for three years, and then after suf-
fering the tortures Of the rack was exc
cuted February %, 1894. 1t begins:

ROBBED BY MAN He WAS
ATTEMPTING TO BEFRIEND
East Twenty-second Street Resident
Reports Theft of $3.50 by 5eggar
He Was About to Aid

w. NJ. Johnson of 625 East Twenty
second street reported to the detectives
yesterday that while on his way home
he was accosted by two beggars and
robbed of $3.50 in small change.
According to Johnsons story to the
officers, he met the first ''moocher'' on
the corner. The man approached him
and asked for a dime. Johnson gave
the man two nickels and continued on
his way home. About half a block
further down the, street he was ac-
costed by another 'moocher," who also
asked for a dime. Johnson put his
hand in his trousers pocket and drew
out a handful of small change. Just
as he was about to take dime and
hand it to the beggar the latter grabbed
the money from Johnson, and with a
remark, You don't need money" ran
down the street.
Johnson gave the police a good
description of both men, and the de-
tectives are looking for them. They
say the two men evidently are pro-
fessional crooks and may be respon-
sible for several holdups that have
been reported to the police lately.
