The Spirit Of

and tradition. as when he refers to the

mark says:
Some say that ever 'gainst that season

Wherein our Saviour's birth il celebrated
The bird Of dawning singeth all night
long,
And then, they say. no spirit can walk
abroad.
The nights are wholesome. then no plan
cts strike.
No fairy takes nor witch hath power to
charm,
So haliowed and SO gracious is that time.
Every one feels in that subconscious
region Of himself commonly known as
the heart that the time Is really hal
lowed and a gracious one, but his mind
may tell him that to many the time Is
not so gracious as it might be. Only
to the few perhaps has Christmas ever
been gracious, but there are newly
arisen classes who have not even at

a conspicuous feature Of past Christ.

even those born in more ample circum

derstand these things appear to have
lost somewhat Of the art OF Christ
mastide if not altogether its essential
spirit.
"Good will toward men" is even now
not Of universal application, 80 that
there is still ample room for the exer-
else Of hope. Christmas is the one
day in the year when the whole world
seems to feel a simultaneous longing
for what might be. One who under
stands the meaning Of modern thought
has written "All this world is heavy
with the promise of greater things.
and a day will come-one day in the
unending succession of dayS-when
beings who are now latent in our

This longing for distant ideal is the

feeling which will not be repressed al

A RECIPE FOR
HAIR DYE
By M. QUAD
By M. QUAD
Copyright. 1911. by Associated Lit
erary Press.

1t was on a certain Monday AFTER
noon that. Mr.. Jackson, who was a
travelling sewing machine agent. drove
into the village Of Dover
Mr.. Jackson. being stranger to the
town. had been advised to call on Dea-
con Weatherby and get the names OF
people who might be induced to pur-
chase. 49,
Deacon Weatherby owned the saw
mill. the gristmill and the milldam,
had a mortgage on the Methodist
church edifice and was accounted the
big man of the town. He was man
of sixty and widower, but he had no
thoughts of marrying again. The
deacon looked venerable. His chin
whiskers were twenty inches long. and
his hair reached his shoulders. Both
were white. Yes. deacon looked veneer
able. but was a mighty close man on
a business deal.
When the sewing machine man came
to interview the deacon happy
thought entered his head. II the ven
cradle widower would do him a favor
he would return 1t. He had recipe
for hair dye said to be after an Egyp-
tan formula. He had never made
personal use Of the dye. being a red
headed man and loving the color, but
he had avery reason to believe that it
was a world beater. 1t restored the
hair to the color it was when the
grower was only twenty years old.
1t rendered it soft and glossy. 1t de-
fed detection. By the use Of this dye
a man or woman Of sixty could claim
to be only forty and no one would call
either q liar The deacon after get
ting that long hair and those venerable
whiskers colored needn't give his age.
| The people would guess it at forty
one and add that he had not reached
his prime yet.
Two days later behold gay old boy,
hair and whiskers a glossy black!
There were about ten other old men In
the place with whiskers more or less
venerab bile, and one after another as
they met the deacon they contemptu-
ously exclaimed:
Huh! Got your old hair and whisk-
ers dyed. eh?"
For a week or so Deacon Weatherby
was made fun of and called an old
fool. Then the other old men dropped
in one after another and paid him a
dollar in cash for that recipe Some
