The Christmas ghost hunt is imported
from England. where the houses are
ancient enough to harbor specters who
were there before William the Con

exceptions. however, for even in Wash

WHEN SANTA WENT ASTRAY.
Miracle of the Leaves Repeated For
Washington's Poor.


The day of miracles has not passed.
according to the firm belief of a hun
dred or more poor people in Washing
ton. Last Christmas day Almas tenn
pie of the Shriners gave its annual din
ner to the poor. 1t was well planned
affair, generously contributed to, and
turned out a big success. But the most
notable thing about it was not on the
programme and made the hit of the
occasion.
= While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
$50 loaves of bread. The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
foxes as he waddled about and took
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree. In the middle of one of his sto-
ries there entered another big. fat San
ia Claus. carrying colossal basket
full of bread, and behind him were
three or four negroes. also carrying
baskets of bread. One of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sent a gift of bread to
be distributed and signed receipt for
the $50 loaves. In few minutes they
were handed around to the heads of
families, and an additional smile OF
Christmas joy went around with them.
When the festivities were nearly
over and the crowd had begun to dis

THE THREE WISE MEN.
Who Were Thsy?- An unsolved
Christmas Mystery

Christmas Mystery
One Christmas mystery remains IN
solved Who were the wise men OF the
east the lnagi who followed the star
of bethlehem from afar to do homage
TO the newborn Saviour?
The simple story as told in the Biblo
is one of the most familiar in Christ
mas lore. Any child could recite 1t In
detail. Painters and sculptors have
made II the theme of the most inspired
products of their brushes and chiseis,
but to this day the identity Of these
wise men remains a mystery. A
search OF the great paintings in which
the subject is Seated produces be-
wilderment. There are half hun
drea different ideas presented. The
varying versions of the books of the
ages are as many.
1t is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received at court
by King Herod and that they carried
gifts of value that they were In their
own country men of royalty or close
to it. Herod evidently deemed 1T well
to treat them with Difference. for dis
auieted though he was by their news
of the comet that was to lead them 10
the birthplace Of the Redeemer he dis
sembIed and told them that when they
had found the newborn be would re-
turn to worship with them.
Much Of our information about the
early days of the Christian era comes
from the monks of the fourteenth cen
fury, who delved deeply into historical
sources since lost to the world. Their
story of the three wise men has receiv-
ed wide credence According to these
monks. the wise men were three great
kings called Caspar. Melchoir and Bal
thasar Caspar was the oldest and
from the north At the time of the
birth of Christ lie was sixty years old,
and for more than two-thirds of that
time he had ruled IN Arabia Baltha-
sar was black. native Of Saba. from
the east. and forty years old. The
Youngest was Melchor from the south.
whose country was TarshIsh. He was
twenty years old.
Impelled by some mysterious power
they dropped all the cares Of state and
followed single star thirteen days
and nights without eating or sleeping
till 1t led them to Jerusalem.
Then the story follows that Of the
Bible until they returned to their own
countries.
The story does not stop here. 1t tells
circumstantially the after life Of the
three wise men. The good Apostle st
Thomas journeyed to their country and
baptized them, and all three went out
to preach the doctrine of the Christ.
They were slain by barbarous gen
tiles. and later the Empress Helena
mother of Constantine. recovered theil
sacred bones and took them to Con
stantinopIe. Thence they were carried
TO Milan and finally found an ultimate
resting place in Cologne, where they
now are.-New York Post.

could wish for is that the story We're

The conversation of these two char

not too much so to peruse with the
greatest interest We must pass over
the story of the wedding, which was
the day before Christmas event at
Dingley Dell, at which Mr.. Pickwick
distinguished himself by a felicitous
speech, and get to the story of the
dance. Dickens description of the old
sitting room is a gem;
The best sitting room at Manor Farm
was a good. long, dark paneled room,
with a high chimney piece and a capaclous
chimney. up which you could have driven
one of the new patent cabs. wheels and
all. At the upper end of the room, seated
in a shady bower of holly and ever
greens. were the two best fddlers and the
only harp in Muggleton. In all sorts or
recesses and on all kinds of brackets
stood massive old silver candlesticks with
four branches each. The carpet was up,

assemble on the morning Of the I'D day
of December in the year of grace in
which these their faithfully recorded adj
ventures were undertaken and accom-
plished. Christmas was close at hand in
all his bluff and hearty honesty. 1t was
the season of hospitality, merriment and
open heartedness. The old year was pre-
pairing, like an ancient philosopher, to
call his friends around him and amid the
sound of feasting and revelry to pass
gently and calmly away. Gay and merry
was the time. and right gay and merry
were at least four of the numerous hearts
that were gladdened by its coming.
After travelling through a wide and
open country where ''the wheels skim
over the hard and frosty ground" slow
ing up as they draw near country
town, where the horses are changed,
then again 'dashing along the open
road, with the fresh air blowing in
their faces and gladdening their very
hearts within them" they arrive at

to that famous parsonage, the fat boy.
