SANTA CLAUS AT SEA.

Gifts on Christmas Tree For Passen-
gers on Ocean Liners.
Don't imagine that just because a
person is at sea when Christmas ar
rives he gets no Yuletide cheer. Christ
mas on one of the big ocean liners Is
observed religiously, which is to say
that the day is fully appreciated by
both officers and passengers.
1.-The man who spends his life on
board big passenger ship sees about
as many different kinds of Christmases
as anybody. guess" said the captain
ef one of the great transatlantic steam
ships as he sat in his cabin the other
day preparing for holiday voyage to
the Mediterranean. "Some Christmas
days ] have spent on the north At
aantic, others while in the China trade
and still others in the south Pacific
and the Mediterranean.
-The fact is that I have spent only
enc Christmas day at home since I
was married-and I haven't been a
bachelor for a good many years. Now
we sail from New York very soon and

again Christmas will have been
passed.
when your ship is running on a voy-
age to the Mediterranean, with a
crowd Of jolly passengers aboard who
are off on trip to enjoy themselves,
Christmas is day to be remembered.
Friends and relatives send gifts on
ahead. SO that they may be handed to
passengers at the right time, and OF
course this personal remembrance
from home makes more enjoyable the
celebration which is always prepared

finally won their regard. When asked
to give his parole he refused, saying:

Oh, the bells, DER hills and dells. ringing

Every stroke the story tells, every chime

Sternly Gliding those about
To lose heart.
Oh. the bells, like living wells, throbbing

world to share,
Thrilling hearts that have grown cold,
Pleading with the young and old
Everywhere.
