"Bobs" and the Boy.

An interesting incident is recorded
in connection with the visit which
Lord Roberts paid to Marylebone to
distribute the medals won by mem
bers of the local rife club, recently.
One of the gold medals was won by a
lad Ca competitor in the juvenile Sec
tion), who belonged to very poor par
ents. Thinking that his clothes we're
too shabby to appear before the field
marshal, he had broken into neigh
boris house and stolen money for a
suit of clothes. He was detected,
brought before the Marylebone magis-
trate, and let off under the first Of
tenders act. When the matter was
brought to Lord Roberts notice he
called for the lad, took him aside, and
gave him some words of advice, tell
ing him that it was character and not
clothing that mattered. The boy got

CHRIS MAS.

The earth has grown old with it's bur"
den of care,
But at Christmas it always is young.
The heart of the jewel burns lustrous
and fair,
And it's soul full of music breaks forth
on the air,
When the song of the angels is sung.
1t is coming old Earth. it is coming to-
night!
On the snowflakes which cover the sod.
The feet of the Christ-Child fall gentle
and white,
And the voice of the Christ-Child tells
out with delight,
That mankind are the children of God.
On the sad and the lonely, the wretched
and poor,
That voice of the Christ-ChiId shall fall,
And to every blind wanderer opens the
door
OF hope that he dared not dream Of
before,
With a sunshine of welcome for all.
The feet of the humblest may walk in
the field
Where the feet of the hottest have trod.
This, this is the marvel of mortals re-
vealed
When the silvery trumpets of Christmas
have pealed.
That mankind are the children of God.
Phillips Brooks.

would be settled in homes before
night. That afternoon score of hos
pitable villagers visited the orphan
age, ard it proved that there were
more invitations than were needed.
AS the children were checked off from
the monthly school room list, it hap
pened that a group of five quarantined
in the attic hospital for the. mumps
were overlooked. 1t may be that the
over-cautious doctor had omitted their
names, or that some villager had hes
itated. but the days slipped on towards
Christmas, and they received no invi-
tations.
Up in the sunny attic, Alice Martin
and her brother Tom had long since
recovered, and said lessons and
played games in the sun-parlor with
John Bell, Jane Smith and little
Mary Moore, who had been held on
suspicion, and who remembered too
late that they had had the humps
years before. They relieved the lone
illness of the nurse, who had become
attached to the happy group, and she

eve came, and the five were permitted

hall. The nurse herself was going

great news for the first time. The
three girls and two boys realized that
they had nothing in view, but youth is
hopeful, and they argued that the next
hour might bring an invitation.
st. Elizabeth's had never known SO
gay an occasion. All the orphans
were dressed in their best, and one

JuAt to Annov,

In Lady Cardigan"s new volume of
memoirs" said a Chicago publisher,
1.-The virtue of one of the artistocratic
Tollemache ladies is assailed. The
lady herself has long been dead, but
all her descendants, to the third and
fourth generation, are writing to the
papers. denying the truth of Lady
Cardigans attack.
1T all goes to show how sensitive
we are about the virtue of our ances-
tors. This was understood by a Chi
cago pro-suffragist who wrote to the
papers the other day:
"'Senator Blanks shameful attacks
on the motives of the militant suffra-
gettes must cease. Before Senator
Blank traduces those pure-minded
ladies he had better look after his
thieving. drunken old mother
"A friend to whom this letter was
shown said to the pro-sGffragist:
That is all very trenchantly put.
It's libelous of course. | suppose
you're quite sure of your ground?'
Sure Of my ground?' said the pro-
suffragist, impatiently. I never heard
a word against the old lady All
know is, If Senator Blank has the
common feelings of gentleman he'll
be very much annoyed"

It's weight is so supported by the hip
