THE CHRISTMAS CHARM.

Never a theme in song or story
Equals the charm of Christmas glory;
Never the artists finest fight
Reaches the beauty of Judeas night,
Brightest ray in the realm of thought,
Fairest picture by fancy wrought,
Sweetest mother the earth has known,
Grandest example ever shown
Breaker of barriers built by hate,
Soothing even the blows of fate;
Millions of hearts made gay and
bright
Under the spell OF the sacred night,
Causing customs quaint and sweet
Making the links of home complete.
Leading lovers of laughter low
Meath the sway of the mistetoe.
Take from the breast of the weary
world
The Star of Bethlehem--twould be
hurled
into darkness deep and drear,
Without the glory Of Christmas cheer.

From earliest times. carving has re- ceived great attention in Scandinavia One sees evidence Of this in many Swedish churches, both in wood and stone, dating back nsay cesturies.

Some of these northern church es, notably those of Borgund and Hit. terdal, are quite covered with such quaint ornamentation.

Maxims For Golfers.

Don't say to your opponent on the first tee. "I am afraid l shan't be able to give you a game" or "I am so frightened of playing a great swell like you" This kind of modesty, however genuine, imposes upon no- body. Don't decline to take your proper allowance of strokes. It's not fair on your adversary, who will get no pleasure or glory out of beating yor, as he probably will do. whereas you will be able to boast abominably of 9 chance victory over him. If you have q particularly cantaukerous member of your club put him instant y upon your committee He will probably be hnttered, fall into the trap and be muzzIed forever more Fry's Magazine.

Frederick Townsend Martin Declares
There Is Now No Smart Set In
New York.

New York.-Tt is no secret that
there has been no -four hundred" for
years, but Frederick Townsend Mar
tin, who in some measure succeeded to
the social leadership of the late Ward
McAllister, says in an interview that
there is no logger even "a smart set
of the best people,"
Society in New York." says Mr..
Martin, lis the truest democracy in
the world. 1t has no dictator, nc
queen, not even a constitutional ruler.
There are only the countless small
cliques. There is not even a central
figure around which the cliques
gather There has not been such a
figure since the death of Mrs. Aston.
In the old days not to be asked
to certain houses was social death.
Today no one laments for the invita-
ton he doesn't receive.
Good family and money are advan-
tages, but not necessities. The thing
that society now demands is person
ality-a combination of brains and
charm.
There is no four hundred, no eight
hundred and no eighteen hundred.

REPTILES FREEZE TO DEATH
Boa Constructor and Python Create
Much Excitement and Meet Un-

Pittsburg. Pa.-Strong shudders,
fguratively speaking, ran up and down
Homestead's backbone when residents
of the steel town learned that six
foot boa constructor and ten-foot py.
thon were at large in the streets.
The snakes escaped from a theater
the other night by squeezing through a
crevice in the lid OF their cage. All
but the more venturesonle of Home
steads youth stayed within doors.
while police and citizens hunted the
snakes.
Two boys saw them curled up
against background of snow several
squares from the theater, and the boys
never stopped running and yelling un-
til they dropped exhausted in the po-
lice station.
Heavily armed police went after the
snakes and, after much shooting and
poking, they discovered that the ser
penis had been frozen stiff.

DEacoN's CARD GAMES OVER
Friendship Snaps Over squabbies
About Pinochle and Flock Of An.
noying Guinea Fowls.

New York.-Two deacons sat on q
Sunday morn, with their faces and
their smiles fcrlorn. and the words OF
grace on their fevered lips were
drowned by the clash OF the dwin'
ding chips, for the words of grace
that the deacons use are the same as
those of the men who lose. And this,
though known some decades back.
has caused surprise in Hackensack
To think that the man who can
pass the plate. with scowling face
II his brothers late, and can even
quote what the preachers say. would
open a pot on the Sabbath day and
start a raid on his neighbours stack.
Is most too much for Hackensack.
A careful study of the foregoing,
will in some measure explain the in
tensity of Hackensack's amazement,
when John " Roscoe, deacon. ap-
peared in the Bergen county court to
sue John H. Demarest, another dea-
con, for $4,000 damages, because OF
harsh words uttered by the latter
when their friendship snapped in the
Dutch Reformed church, Mr.. Roscoe
being superintendent of the Sunday
school. Yet some time ago, Mr..
Demarest became displeased at Mr..
Roscoe's guinea fowl and told the
department of health about them,
since when there have been cool
words, which shocked Mr.. Roscoe's
sensibilities $4,000 worth.
But when Mr.. Demarest was taken
into court he became angered and
gave the whole snap away. He said
that he and his brother deacon were
in the habit of playing pinochle for
money until far into Sunday morning
until the guinea fowl came between
them. Mr.. Roscoe declared that they
quit at half-past eleven always, but
Mr.. Demarest said that that was only
when Mr.. Roscoe was winner.
The jury in Judge Blacks court
looked Mr.. Demarest over and failed
to see how he could utter $4,000
worth Of biting English, but they did
think that Mr.. Roscoe had been dam
aged about six cents worth, which
was awarded. This will make up for
what the deacon lost the last time his
brother NEEDED doubled pinochle, but
didn't soothe his feelings. as he must
pay about $50 in court costs.
Both men are prominent in Hack
ensack and both are still deacons In
the church.

The Conduit road, being government

Marshal Jackson, who patrols the
thoroughfare, thought it up to him to
make move upon discovering that the
tree had been disfigured, so he made

he appeared before Justice OF the

Hen Lived n Years.

Biddeford, Me.-Capt. Daniel Tar
box's famous black hen is dead. The
captain announced the news along
with some interesting information con-
corning the hens career. She would
have been % years old had she lived
until next May. Her record as pro-
Queer has been remarkable one, the
captain asserting that the bird has
laid 1000 eggs.
The last was of unusual size. How
ever, it was right after that the hen
became feeble, and though receiving
closest care, died. Her eggs were not
her only claim to public attention and
admiration. for she had never been
licked by anything on the place that
wore feathers.
