THE NEED OF a PUBLIC LIBRARY

y The tine has come. the warus said" to talk of many things:

This bit OF nonsense from a book famous for its philosophy and M.

Amarillo.

We have bundcd the temple Of worship, the business interests have
contributed the opportunities for physical pleasure but the city has neg
lected the minds Of her citizens
That Amarillo should have a place where the mind may be sdmu-
lated and trained by contact with the literature Of the world, is lndis-
putable. That the ambitious youth of our city should be given the intel
lectual pabulum that is calculated to enlarge their usefulness. is ncon-
uoyertble. That the scientifically disposed mind should be given the ma
terial for growth, is unquesioned. That the wants and needs of every
man and woman in the town should be supplied, is undenabe.
And yet. the enthusiasm OF the town has never been reused to a
deep realization of the place a public library occupies in the life Of a
city. Why? Is it because it is the business of a few loyal women
and therefore considered infadig for men 70 advocate what women have

A Perfect Christmas.

Let us try to imagine what scene the
world would present if all men the earth
around could have and enjoy one perfect
Christmas -one day in which the Christ
mas spirit should manifest itself in every
human heart in all its happiest, truest,
largest meaning. What foretaste OF the
millennium such day would be i What
sorrows would be mitigated, what mis-
cry assuaged, what enmities, iealousies,
bitterness, would be buried never to be
renewed Such Christmas even for
one day would be source OF immeasur-
able blessing to the world. II could not
fail to break the crust OF human selfish
ness beyond restoration and set many
springs OF kindness and good will flow-
ing, never TO cease. While such Christ
mas, even for day, can exist only in the
realm of dreams, it is within our power
to make each recurring Christmas meas
urably like it by translating our wishes
into deeds, by making the best of our
means and opportunities to make life a
little brighter and little sweeter for
those around us and a little nearer like
the life we could truly wish for all man.

Eight thousand Harz Mountain canary
birds sang together in mighty requiem
chorus, as the bodies OF two steerage
passengers were buried al sea from the
North German Lloyd steamship Branden-
burg, off The banks OF Newfoundland.
When the matches were opened to bring
out the bodies, flood OF light was let
into the portion of the hold occupied by
the canaries being brought to this country
for the holiday trade. Instantly the we'll
trained birds, which had been kept in
darkness throughout the voyage, burst
forth, one initiating another. until the
entire 5000 were singing. The music
continued until the bodies splashed into
the sea. Then the hatches were shut
down again and the singing gradually
subsided.

Origin of the First Christmas Tree.


Origin of the First Christmas Tree.
The conflict of Christianity with heath
enism produced no more dramatic Incl
dents than those which have come down
to us, half-history and half-myth, out OF
the forests and SHOWS of northern Europe
where the cross confronted and prevailed
against the hammer of Thor. Often the
crisis came at Christmas, which happened
to correspond with the Yuletide festival,
at the time of the winter solstice.
LongfeIIow has used one of these
stories ia king Olaf's Christmas. An
other, in which real religious fervor and
moral heroism play part is the story
of the first Christmas tree. There stands
at Altenbergen, in northern Germany, a
statue erected in 1871 in honor OF Saint
Boniface; and the place of the statue is
said to be the site OF the first Christian
church in north Germany.
Boniface, who must not be confused
with any of the nine popes who bore the
name, was a Briton by birth, and his
name was Wynfrith. Declining high
ecclesiastical honor. he chose to be a
missionary to the rude tribes OF the Ger
man forests. OF these tribes Tacitus
tells us; and we know that they were
inplacable in war and bloody in their
worship, but that among their virtues
was marked purity of private lie and
love of home.
Each year these people sacrificed TO
their gods. One of their holiest shrines
was great oak at Geismar. There they
gathered at midnight at the winter sols-
tice, and offered fair lad as sacrifice
to call back the retreating sun.
Thus they were assembled 1.-THE Yue-
tide in the year 724. AS the. midnight
approached, an old priest raisedthe ham,
mer 10 strike down the child, when Bon
face interposed strong arm and an
eager word. He told them Of a child
who was born seven hundred years be-
fore. and how he showed TO men that
they need offer no more bloody sacrifices.
He told them OF the love Of God and the
beauty of his services. The stern men
heard and believed. Urged by the heroic
missionary, they hewed down The dark
thunder-oak, the scene Of so many sac
rifices.
The legend says ihat when the tree
fell, il left a young fir growing between
the shattered branches and unbroken by
their fall. Boniface told them to take
that tree TO their banqueting hall /; to serve
God with Joy and feasting; and to take
for their Yule tree this one, with roots
unstained with blood, and with ever
green foliage for a symbol ofimmcnality.
II part of the story is myth, il is not
all myth, and il is surely beautiful way
of explaining one Of the most beautiful OF
Christmas customs.

Some years ago the commanding Of

no one should be allowed to step over
the grass where the COW was pastured.
The next day the generals wife, wishing
TO make short cut. started 10 walk from

"No one TO pass here, madam !" said
the sentry.
The lady drew herself up. "Do you

"No, madam" replied the impressive
soldier "a do not know who you are.
But know you are not the generals
