certain company in Denver is
flooding the state with post cards,
asking that the persons addressed, if
interested, return the card, after put
ting a stamp thereon, as an indica-
ton of desiring more information
concerning a certain investment. If
the card is returned in comes liter
ature, followed by a letter from a
financial broker stating that he has
secured several hundred shares of
the stock that he can sell at price a
little lower than the company here
/ Then these post cards sent in from
each town are followed up by a rep
resentative of the company. He calls
on the person who requested the lit
erature and from all reports proceeds
to get very much worked up if that
person does not proceed at once to
order a block of the stock, although
the post card in no ways makes such
an investment obligatory. 1t is the
agent of the broker, not of the COM
pany itself, and his lack of cordiality
and effort to make people to make
inquiries believe that they have got
to invest because they did make in
quiries, are really amusing to say

CHRISTMAS-By Dr.. w. E. Evm1s

Christmas tree, and I heard the partner say, Tt is lovely. They then turned out all the lights and went up stairs; the night, at the foot of the Christmas tree, stood a company of faithful little soldiers taking care of camel, train of cars, woolly dog ducks, chickens and lots of other things. Not one of these little sentinels moved through the long night, not so much as to blink an eye.
 may live to be a very old man, and many things l shall doubtless forget, but the sweet scene of the little stockings hanging there in quiet expectancy and confidential faith of happy dawn, I shall never cease to remember. But when the next Christmas came there was one little stocking missing. During the year a fever came, burning fever, that burnt out the little life, and the lovely eyes closed to all earthly things. The spirit had flown away beyond the stars. So, there was one stocking absent at the next Christmas, and when Santa Claus and his partner came to fill those that now hung from the mantelpiece they stood still and uttered not word Their eyes filled with tears. The partner could scarcely stand, ana santa Claus support ed her with his arm and drew her to his heart. They both sobbed as If their hearts would break but no word was spoken. Then, looking through their tears, they picked out the little things for the stockings. Somehow the mem ory of that night before Christmas day comes to me out of the distant years and affects me as if had had some special interest in 1t all. for my throat chokes up and tears have dlmmed my eyes until I can hardly see the words that wr1rs.
 There Is, I doubt not, many home this Christmas in which little child's stocking will be missed, that hung in It's place from the mantelpiece last year. There will be many an aching, lonely heart this Christmastide for the little one whose merry prattle is no longer heard. Many eyes will look through tears at toys that send the mind to fowery mounds

 Money was once supposed to express the utmost reach of power.

A Dramatist's Superstition

 There may be one eventually, but the author will certainly have nothing to do with 1t. M. Wolff, like many theatrical people. is superstitious. To name a play Is to ruin a play, in his opinion. Accord ingly his manuscript never bears a title. and he carefully avoids thinking of . title al 1.-the time he is writing the play. When it has been read, rehearsed and is ready to be played-in fact, when the author has ceased to have anything to do With it--then the leading lady, the lover. the walking gentleman, the prompter. the call boy or any one else may think of titles to his hearts content, and five min- ntes before the bills are set up M. Wolff will chose one of the names thus suggest ed to him. But he would rather cross dozens of knives. spill pecks of salt and live day and night With three candles alight in his room than himself think of a name for a play of his.

whole long year Christmas is the proper ty especially of children. The birth of a gentle Babe, in the long ago, conse- crated this day to childhoods innocence and happiness
 There's another thing that I am glad of, that is, Tam glad that I still be-
 ieve in Santa Claus. One of the sad dest things in life, I think, is the loss to child of many of the sweet, tender traditions and legends that he has cher
 shed from his earliest recolections. The hard, cold facts of later life will rob him soon enough of these treasures of childhood, and so, you do him no harm by the innocent imposition upon his mind of the beautiful conceit of the rosy-faced, jolly, old fat man who brings presents at Christmas and fills the chill orens' stockings, and the stockings of older people, as well. I so thoroughly believe in Santa Claus that I positively expect him every Christmas; and if he should happen to overlook me. I should think that I had lost a dear, dear friend I do not expect him to come with his reindeer and his coat all covered with snow; nor do I look for him to come down one of the rectory chlmneys. But l luhy cApcCb lliil. Hc HAS never disappointed me. Believe in Santa Claus :? Yes, sir. I've seen him. He was sur- rounded by boxes, bundles, dolls horses, Noah's arks, and all manner of things His eyes were bright as stars and his face was full of joy. There was some one assisting him when I saw him. She was writing names for him to put on the various things that were on the table and on the chairs. Her face was perfectly beautiful with happiness, and I noticed that old Santa got many sug- gestions from her, and everything she told him to do he did. Then I saw both turn to the mantle piece where hung sev- eral stockings, one of them being a tiny bit of a stocking-it was the baby's, and how funny 1t looked hanging there! I saw old Santa and his partner fill the stockings. I watched them until their beautiful work was done. Then they went Into another room where stood the

if did not believe In the new Testament. My collateral reading would satisfy my mind that the birth of the gentlest of Jewish teachers, "the first gentleman of the ages" the martyr and Savior, the Friend of Sinners and the Founder of the Church, was positively a fact of history. All governmental transactions were re- corded by the Romans, and the records were carefully preserved. The record of the census, of which we read in the New Testament. was scrupulously kept in the Roman archives It existed until the fifth century. Then Rome was invaded and sacked by the northen hordes under Alaric. Public buildings and ancient trophies were destroyed, along with his toric records. Naturally the records in question shared the fate of others. But before they were destroyed they had been seen by many and quoted by some
 Marcion, the heretic, denied some points in the birth of Jesus. Tertullian, who was born about 60 years after the death of St. John, refers Marcion to the records of the enrolment and taxation, about which time Christ was born, to satisfy his doubts on the points at issue. The records were there. or the reference would have been fatal to Tertullian's CduSc III dHOtLtT pcDdlo InlS great polemic refers to the Virgin Mary as "the root of Jesse" and In the census records anyone may read, Mary, from whom Jesus was born.'
 Justin Martyr wrote about 40 years after the death of the last apostle, and boldly referred the emperor and the Roman senate to their own records in the public archives. wherein they might read, There Is certain village in the land of Judea, distant 35 stadia from Jerusalem, In which Christ was born, as ye may learn from the enrollments com- pieted. under Cyrenius."
 St. Chrysostom. in a Christmas sermon, in the year 360 said, Tt is manifest that He was born at the time of the first enrolment, and 1t Is lawful for anyone who wishes to know accurately, to search the ancient records publicly de- posted in Rome" With such testimony in mind, I am obliged to believe the his-

not wealthy. But they have the Christi mas grace in a marked degree. They are giving, and they plan to give, themselves Now and again they become hands and feet for wealthy people who have learned the peril of unwlse giving. The same century that built up the new millionaire fortunes has brought into being such growing groups of social experts, clean, beautiful, unselfish souls, whose errand in the world Is to mediate between the ''haves" and "have-nots."
 For there is place for money in phi lanthropy, though 1t is not the first place. It's insolence consists in a sort of lavish ness, high-handed self-sufficiency, strewing it's gratuities with public adver- tisement, and batting it's own fat paunch while it smiles at the impecunious avid ity of it's beneficiaries, and goes home to gloat on it's own superiority. From such Pharisaism love and wisdom alike turn away. There is no place for that, stand ing on the street corner and giving aims. The true aims has always been in secret, a sacrament of personality, a fellowship of soul, a gift of intimate knowledge, the grace of a friend, a brother a sister.
 A London paper has just come to hand. Among the special stories Is a careful description of the activities of a great London church. that of which Dr. G. Campbell Morgan is the pastor. Prominent in the story Is the account of three deaconesses the ministers of God to the poor of Westminster, Sister Alice, Sister Winnie, Sister Dora. These and other ladies are at the call of every flower girl, every seller of matches, shall I not say of every human unit in that great gray section of the illimitable city. Sometimes money is needed. But the saving force of such a ministry is the pure, wise, patient personalities that make the sorrows of Westminster their own, whose influence permeates the at mosphere of thousands of homes, like the soft insistent music of Sabbath bells.
 Beyond all that, is the universal atten- ton now being given to the causes of poverty. The old attitude implied that all l the wretched were in some sense blame
