The First Christmas
Day In America

TSHE first American observance
of Christmas day was far
from a merry one. 1t was
spent by Columbus and his
ships company among scenes Of peril,
disorder and excitement consequent
upon the greatest disaster which
had befallen the expedition. On
Christmas eve the admira's flagship,
the Santa Maria, which had so stout
ly plowed unknown seas since that dis
tant September day when she dropped
astern the outermost Canary island,
laid her clumsy Spanish bones to rest
off the coast of what is now Haiti.
Her crew spent the following day,
Christmas, partly on the Haitian shore
and partly on her consort, the tiny
caravel Nina.
The story of the disaster and the
day may be told in this wise:
Sailing from the Tortugan roadstead,
the flagship squared away for the coast
of Haiti and entered upon her closing
days.
In the morning watch of the oath,
the day following their return, Colum-
bus gave orders that the expedition
should start for Guacanagaris capi-
tai. The yards of the two craft were
triced away, and n start was made in
q light winu that blew almost dead
ahead.
A strong current was sweeping the
ship quickly along. Directly in her
path was a sand bank, on which the
breakers swept with roar which open
ears could have heard half n mile
away, but which now sounded no
warning to any on board. Suddenly
the Santa Marla's keel grated heavily
for some moments on the submerged
sand, and then she struck violently
and lurched to one side with strain
which sprung her masts.
All was confusion. The watch rush
ed to the bows and then jumped to
the ropes. Columbus, rushing out from
the cabin. took in the situation at first
glance.
"Jesu Mariar' he exclaimed. 1--WE
have groundedr'
Christmas morning dawned on a
scene of singular interest. Our fancy

likes to range back through four shad-
Christmas and that remote and other
wise insignificant sand spit in the
Caribbean, to that forgotten picture In
which the devout children of holy
mother church and the loyal subjects
IF their most Catholic majesties of
CASTLE, Aragon and Leon toiled in
thankful fellowship with the generous
savages whom they had regarded as
heathen. TO seaward Of the stranded
gessel lay the caravel Nina and Il small
1otilla of canoes. Around fOated
spars, casks, cOops and general wreck
age. 1t had for some hours been evi-
dent that the ship was doomed to lay
ner bones TO rest In Davy Jones' lock-
er, and the admiral, wits the coming
)f daylight, began to transfer TO the
Nina what was left of her provisions.
I'm this work the caclque and his
younger brother directly assisted him.
Toward noon the Spaniards dlscon-
Iinued work. For almost eighteen
hours they had labored with scarcely
al lHAtI ullHsipll anu tOulu Sltlu
40 more. Their immediate prospects
were as bright as they could reason
ably hope for as the more portable
provisions and stores had been trans
ported TO the Santa Maria's consort
they now determined to rest until the
,ool Of the day, when they should re-
sumo work. On coming TO this deci-
sion they rowed to the shore and, In
accordance with their custom, erected
cross on the highest point within
convenient distance. This done, the
yellow banner of the Spanish king
IONS, with its castles and lions, was
displayed, and mass was celebrated in
honor of the anniversary. Toward
nightfall the work OF transferring was
.aken up, but 30 great had been the
moral and physical strain on the crews
that it was soon judged best to await
the ensuing morning and after a yes
per chant all hands, save small
watch, turned In, some on the shore
ind some aboard the Nina. Thus ended

In the fancy Of childhood what image SO
bright
AS fur trimmed st. Nick, the good genius
of night,
With his broad, ruddy face and kind, low
ing eye,
AS bright as the sunshine of midsummers
sky;
With his jolly red cap and the big laden
pack,
Which he merrily bears on his broad,
sturdy back!
Can 1t be that st. Nick has forgotten the
poor
Or the homes that are barren and drear
as the moor?
Has he gifts for young Croesus and none
for poor Joe
On the night before Christmas in Poverty
row?
All, st. Nick, there's spirit-the spirit of
sleep
That comes to the child who but wakens
to weep
When in dreams he beholds a great tree
all bedight,
And from its fir boughs seems to come q
great light
Then the voice of the Master is heard to
decree,
Thou shalt suffer the children to come
unto me-"
All, II We but follow his precept l ween,
We would all be st. Nicks and send we'll
laden teams
With presents and gifts that would Danish
all woe
And make happy the Christmas in Pow

Swept the cold wintry blast and

No voice OF kind greeting the grim

From rooftop and chimney there issued

No window was red with the fires warm

No odor of garlands was borne on the air;
No shop where the splendor and blaze of

There was darkness above, there was

spot,
Where the storm and the wind might en-

ROYALTY AND CHRISTMAS.
The Emperor and Empress Of Germany
Bestow Rare Gifts.


In the German royal household each
member has his or her own Individual
Christmas tree. The gift of the en-
press to her imperial spouse is usually
some souvenir from famous battle.
Throughout the year she has her agents
securing the earth for rare trophies
and spares no expense in procuring the
one that strikes her fancy. This is
placed at the foot Of the emperors
tree. In this way and by other means
he has gathered fine museum of war
relics. One Christmas the present he
received was pistol used by General
Jackson at the battle of New Orleans
The empress also makes presents to
INDECENT clergymen. The package to
each of these consists Of an outfit Of
clothing a Christmas card and a cake
baked by her own hands. The kaiser's
gift to his wife is usually fine jewel
or some article made by his own hands
In England the celebration Of Christ
mas lapsed after the time OF Crom-
well and the Puritans, who regarded it
as too much of pagan festival. Its
revival came about through the writ
ings of Charles Dickens and the royal
observance Of the day by the prince con-
sort and Queen Victoria. After Prince
Albert's death the queen modified her
observance OF the day for few years.

Preparing For Christmas.

"There was q man sent from God
The English Of II could not be more
simple or direct.
One sees as In vision the man OF
the wilderness, clothed In a garment
Of camel's hair. face that Of an ascetic,
spare of frame-the man who fed on
ocusts and wild honey.
And then we stop there. There was
man sent from God'-that is ALL
Some Of us perhaps who know his
story follow him a little further in our
mental vision as he went about pro-
claiming his tidlngs. Some of us per-
haps wonder what the next picture
will be. Some of us say over, There
was n man sent from God" with con-
siderable accent on the smallest word,
and mentally remark, what of it?'
But does it not occur to you that
more than one has been "sent"-that
for some reason or other every living
soul has a mission here and therefore
that you and have one, too, and, II we
were sent, why?
Not for the mere sending, as we like
to believe
If we were sent there was purpose
in it.
There are "tidings" for our spread
ing, just as there were in those days Of
long ago, and n work for us to do
Are we doing 1t, or are we so occu-
pied with our own lives and hopes and
ambitions and pleasures that we have
quite forgotten life was given us for
something besides eating and drinking
sleeping and working and general en-
ijoyment?
If this Is what we have been doing
here is no better season in all the year
for starting afresh on a right basis to
10 the work and carry the messages Of
happiness to others, for which we were
sent.
Somehow Christmas, with all its po-
etry, has a most practical side. There
Is so much work to be done.
Are we preparing our Christmas gifts
selfishly, giving only to those from
whom we expect gifts in return, or
are we planning to do n bit of the
work for which we were sent-plan-
ming to make Christmas a happy time
for some of the less favored ones Of
earth?
And are you doing your utmost? Are
we giving what we can in our Christ
mas gifts, or are we giving for the
Christ's sake whatever happens to be
left over after we have bought expen-
sive gifts for our friends which they
10 not need, luxuries for ourselves
that we could do without, leaving for
him the leftover nickels and pennies?
No matter what Christmas has been
to us in past years, let us this year
give for the sake of the giving, for the
sake of those who need 1t, for the sake
Of the reason for which we were
sent"
No matter how small the Offering II
it be our best
No matter how poor it seems nor
how insignificant, it is yours to tell
Your Christmas tidings, yours to bring
Christmas happiness to some one.
Let us prepare our gifts in the right
spirit-a spirit to prove that we want
to do our part and enjoy doing 1t, In
spreading far and wide the joy and the
happiness which Christmas day typi-
aes-joy and happiness which we have
been sent to make real to some heart
that perhaps knows, but does not feel
because of its suffering or bitterness
Or poverty.-Boston Traveller.
