There are Pagan Saints who find Arcadia every
where. Pan pipes as much in the crowded city
as on Mount Ida when the sun is high. And
Coumbane finds roses where the world sees
thorns; and Harlequin finds magic in motor
buses; and Pantaloon digs away for pleasant
memories in the most unlikely places, and finds
them bright and clean, and as good as new.
These halfgods of mine land yours) come

mead there with her hand in your

dark"
Columbine has her own very par
tucular work, and she calls it in
her mind Secret Delights. She calls
1t that because she delights in max
ing up odd names for emotions, as,
for instance, when she pointed out
two lovers to me one day in the
spring, who were seated under a
hedge, yellow-flushed with prim-
roses; they were holding hands and
looking at the hills beyond just as
If some wonderful thing was about
to come over the hills to tell them
what their feelings meant. And the
peace was so great and the moment
so held that the World seemed to
have stopped breathing, and some
thing superhuman to have poured
out a cup Of stiffness And she
called, 1t Liquid Velvet, A Liquid
Velvet moment. AndJI understood.
1t Is Columbine who watches that
beautiful comedy of the newly mar
ried, who steal about their house
hand-in-hand, fearful of waking the
very new servants, fearful of creak
ing the boards as they gaze enrap
tured on the very new furniture,
looking with JOY on the very new
pots and pans in the kitchen, turn
ing the electric lights up and down
all over the place to see the effect
in their new bedroom. And he has
a dreadful brooch for her hidden
where he keeps his razors; and she
has knitted him a tie he will have
to wear. But it is all perfectly
beautiful.
Someone wrote the other day that
people who read are more interest
ed nowadays, in business than in
love. and I'm so sorry for that man
He is more blind than | thought
anybody could be- Business may be
the means to an end, but Love is
the beginning and the end And IT
is just at this season that Love

son, and there is flower called Columbine and
it is called because it is like four doves with
outspread wings, and the French dove is colombo
and the dove is the symbol of the soul So the
world is never allowed to forget beautiful things
even If the burden of history is borne on the
back Of flower. And the god-like glow and gilt
ter Of Mercury's limbs still shows in the glisten-
ing sequins on Harlequins clothes, parti-colored
as they have always been, to show how he COW
cred his nakedness with rags.
All this beautiled by the essence of Time, like
things put away in cedar chest comes back
when Harlequin blows on his pipe that air the
shepherds learnt in Greece from Pan
The next night Clown will take out another
kind of pipe, a long churchwarden Of white clay,
and fill 1t with tobacco, and then as the fragrant
clouds roll up into the rafters memories come
of all the great people Of the Harlequinades they
play down in the world, all inspired by them, and
they see the figure Of Tarlaton, who was the first
clown, and invented the very clothes they now
wear, hand in hand with Grimaldi that great
clown And they seem to see all the great Italian
HarIeQuins and the dainty French Columbines,
and the old handles of ffteenth.century Venice
whose clothes Pantaloon wears.
Do you know that elderly gentlemen in the
World smell that magic tobacco, or something
like it, and they forget their paunches, or their
bald heads and they sit and dream of the time
they went to their first pantomime? Was it

makes business: hence the shops full of gifts
Imagine poet writing;
Gent per cent the moon is rising
Watch the stocks upon the bank;
Rubber shares are too surprising,
Spectators are surmising
Who the deuce they have to thank"
No one can get heartbeat out Of that and
whatever your business man says he knows he
gets all the good in his life out of heartbeats
So this Christmas Spirit creeps about the world
Knocked at scorned, but alive yet. And you who
feel these things may one night see this quaint
quartet at work. perhaps for a second at the cor
ner of your street. perhaps just vanishing down
the drive, or moving swiftly down country
lane And you may say wonderingly 1T Is q
cobweb a moth, and the branch Of tree, and
the starlight makes them look like-like some
thing remember"
But tell you who they are-Harlequin, Column,
bine, Clown and Pantaloon. And If you hear a
child's laugh ring out suddenly, and 1t brings a
new, quick emotion, one of them has conquered
you!
The spirit of Christmas doesn't cling to presents
in proportion to their cost-unless you are very
rich and If you are very rich the voice OF the
jeweler and Of the furrier and OF the motor car
maker will seem to you as wise as the word OF a
happy poor man, though he were philosopher.

up of stockings, and about Santa
Claus and the likely width of CHM
neys, and the running power OF
reindeer. And there is tremendous
rustic Of colored paper, and a great
run on almonds and raisins, and
quite respectable citizens stand In
front Of shop windows gazing at
dolls and dolls gaze back at them,
so that the citizens go back forty
years at a rush, and the rush Is so
great sometimes that they get tears
in their eyes; for memory Is quick
er than motor cars, and the road 1t
travels IL often dark and broken.
So Columbine leaves the top Of
the well open all day and all night,
and all the people in her cottage
sleep with their windows open, so
that the sweetly laden air comes up
and gives them wonderful dreams.
1t does more than that. It waves
the branches Of the Christmas tree
that grows at the bottom of the
garden, near the sausage frames,
and very soon candles begin to bud
on its branches.
Now when the candles begin to
get ripe, which happens at the same
time that geese and turkeys hang
in rows in shops and grow rosettes
all over them, Harlequin takes an
old, oaken pipe from cupboard I'M
der the stairs, and they all sit round
while he puts 1t to his lips and
blows.
AS he plays, dreams come to them
of their ancient days, for Harlequin
is first cousin to Mercury, and wears
a black mask to hide the light of
his face when he visits Columbine,
who is Psyche, the Soul; the Clown
is Menus, the Spirit of Laughter;
and Pantaloon is Charon, who has
that grim work of ferrying the souls
over the Styx.
There's an odd link of memories
and of things held all through the
centuries, but the most charming is
this. Columbine is a floWer-Iika ner.

WOMAN LIKE

Saturday c, H. Johnson, of Manko-

clerks office to obtain a marriage IL
cense to wed Hazel Altimus, of Wood
burn, AS he was not familiar with
the Oregon law he had not taken the
precaution to bring witness to tes-
tlfy to the marriage qualifications of
the bridge, and much to his mortifi-
cation, the coveted document was not
forthcomming. He at once got in
communication with friends and rel
atlves Of the brlde-to-be, at Woodburn
and by stroke Of good luck a wit
ness was secured and the much de-
sired instrument was obtained, but
not without grave fears that the we'd

Miss Mable Grlmmells, the marriage
license clerk, made a special trip to
accommodate the young people and

New York, March 25.-By turning
down demands of locomotive engin-
eers for an increase in wages averag-
ing IS per cent, so railroads east of
Chicago and north of the Ohio river
today face the possibility of a strike,
In denying the increase a committee
OF railroad managers issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"The present wages, as a rule, are
full and liberal, and the railroads are
financially unable to bear the in
creased expense which would be in
volved. The increase would add ST.
$4,000 annually to our pay rolls.
Past history also indicates that If the
increases we're given the engineers It
would be followed by similar requests
from other employees, which If grant
ed, would actually bankrupt the
roads"
Warren Stone, grand chief of the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
declared that conferences with the
railroad managers would be resumed,
adding that there was no immediate
danger Of a strike, and intimating
that strike eventually would follow
unless the increase was granted.
The commltte eof railroad manag-
ers viewed a further increase in
wages at this time with great con-
Germ" one OF their number saying:
"This headlong movement toward
financial disaster cannot proceed un-
checked"
