So sang the angels long ago;
Let love and kindness reign supreme,
'ris Christmas-time you know.
'Tis happy. happy Christmas,
IL comes but once a year:
Begonel dun care and sorrow
And dwell with us good cheer.
So deck the rooms with holly,
Let joy and gladness glow;
Instead of frowns, let there be smiles.
'Tis Christmas-time, you know.
How sweet TO us was Christmas,
In childhood's happy daysl
It's memories linger with us still,
Our hopes and lives to raise
Sorrows Yes. many sorrows.
Before some minds will rise,
But when they closely view them,
They are blessings In disguise
"The hours Of pain have yielded good
Which prosperous years refused;
Like leaves, tho scentless when entire,
Perfume the air when bruised"
Despair not then at Christmas-time,
Why should you gloomy be?
Cheer up. hope. have courage.
Another Christmas you have lived
10 sect
Thrice welcome happy Christmas,
Sweet harbinger OF peacel
Long may we live TO greet thee,
And may our joys increase.

Flood Shopping Dis
triCtS
CHILDREN FIND FUN
IN TIE CITY TOY SHOPS

With Christmas only four days off,
Wilmington is beginning u don her
carnival garb in earnest Already the
principal shopping thoroughfares have
been transformed into resplendent ar-
cades decked with spruce evcrsreens
and glittering tinsel.
Along Market, King, Third, Fourth
and Fifth streets great crowds swept
restlessly up and down today, form
ing a continual Kaleidoscope stir OF
color.
Children Of all ages we're to be seen
in the shopping sections, eager ana
expectant, one hand tightly clasping
that of parent or big sister, while
the other hugged doll or brown
paper package.
The Salvation Army kettles are
dangling from brass tripods at every
corner From sunrise until long after
sunset the uniformed guardians o.
both sexes stand at their post of duty
The tinkle of the silver bells must
have awakened the Yuletide spirit in
many hearts, judging from the steady
stream of pennies and nickels that
dropped through the wire screens TO
aid in supplying a Christmas treat
for the unfortunate and needy.
The toy shops this year are veritable
wonderlands. Mechanical toys are in
great demand and they can be obtained
in any form from miniature Antoi-
nette monoplane to submarine.
Cranes and engines, automobiles ana
trains-everything is there that hu-
man ingenuity can devise
Street takers galore patrol the
streets shouting the merits of their
wares. Barrel organ artistes are
reaping a harvest They grind out
the old Christmas melodies that awak-
ems in the hearts of all the Yuletide
spirit.
On the streets are piled sometimes
over 10 feet high Christmas trees and
holly, spruce and evergreens. Beauti-
full Christmas trees can be purchased
for a dollar. while holly is said to be
cheaper this year than ever before.
Mistletoe is more plentiful than last
year and is bringing Is and % cents a
bunch. A fine spray of holy can be
bought for a quarter and garlands are
being sold at Is cents a yard.

PACT ABOUT READY
President Announces That Terms Of
Arbitration With England Have
Been Agreed Upon.

Washington, June 29.-~After con-
ference between President Taft and
Ambassador Bryce OF Great Britain.
announcement was made at the White
House that the arbitration treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain was practically complete and
that, with the exception of few COM
paratively unimportant details, tho
terms of the treaty had been agreed
upon. II will probably be submitted to
the senate at this session Of congress-
The tentative draft OF the proposed
treaty was described by Secretary of
State Knox on May II In the follow
ing official statement. which he said
was as specific as 1t could be made at
this time:
The department has completed .
draft OF a general arbitration treaty
which has been approved by the presi-
dent and will be submitted to the
French and British ambassadors as .
formula upon which this government
Is now willing to enter into negotia-
tions. using this tentative draft rs .
basis.
The general features of the draft
are these: II expands the scope of our
existing general arbitration agree
ments by eliminating the exceptions
contained In existing ones of questions
OF. vital interest and national honor.
II is proposed that all differences
that are internationally justiciable
shall be submitted to The Hague tri-
banai unless by special agreement
some other tribunal is created or Scr
| Iected - $500 $780,
II provides TINT differences that
| either country thinks are not interna-
tionally justiciabe shall be referred
to commission of inquiry with power
to make recommendations for their
] settlement. .-sy-rvrrlssGssx
Should the commission decide that
the differences should be arbitrated.
this decision Is to be binding.
Arbitrations are to be conducted
under terms Of submission subject to
the advice and content OF the senate
| Before arbitration Is resorfed to,
even In cases whe-e both countries
agree that the difference b one sas.
ceptible of arbitral decision. the COM.
mission of inquiry shall investigate
the difference with view of recon-
mending settlement that will pre-
clude the necessity OF arbitration The
| action OF this commission IL not ID
have the effect OF an arbitrai award.
The commission, at the request of
either government. shall delay it's
findings one year to give opportunity
for diplomatic settlement.
The other features OF the draft deal
mainly with the machinery OF the COM
mission and other sential details.

From The World OF Thnrn6Ay.
The thirty-three Y. M. C. A. mixers
broke camp this morning, couple
miles back Of Hedgesville, and return
ed home about 1890, tired but hap
py. The boys would have remained

for dinner. not caring to forage.
The boys say they had an ideal
place to camp, II being at Zoos grove
along Back Greek. Theey had fine
time bathing and fishing, catching a
good many OF the finny tribe, they say.
No report has been given, however,
as to the number of snakes Killed
Mr.. Willard Fl. Grimes, who had
charge of the mixers, says that they
all behaved themselves we'll and
didn't rob and henroosts. All enjoy
ed the novelty OF camping out In the
woods before mosquito time set in.
Some gentlemen from town, includ.
ing Secretary Horace G. Wright OF
the Y.M c. A. and Mr.. August zim-
norman, went over yesterday evening
and spent the night with the boys.
This may account for the shortage in
grub for breakfast this morning.
