This demand always exceeds the nor
nal demand for new coins, and the
treasury has heretofore not always
been in position to meet fully each
request. The recent satisfactory re.
suits from the washing of currency
has given the treasury department an
idea for meeting the demand for
shiny Christmas money. Twenty-Five
thousand dollars in halves, quarters,
dimes, nickels and pennies is to be
washed and polished by the mint bu-
reau of the treasury department, so
that all who wish can have their
shiny Christmas money. Most of the
old coins which are to be renovated
will be sent to the Philadelphia mint
from the United States treasury
vaults, whence they will be supplied
to the banks calling for them.
Just what folks do with all this new
coin at Christmas time is a mystery
to the treasury officials. OF course
much OF the smaller coins, bright,
new and shiny, are used for Christ.

THE TRUE CHRISTMAS.

It's sweet to be thus held In memory

Give Kindness and love and assistance,
Not only TO body. but soul.

The Children

This is the age Of girder, beam and
We have forgot some things that once
we knew
Some books are closed: we read a
different tale.
Brown smoke ourls where the virgin
wind once blew.
But year by year when Winter, from
his cave,
Sweeps out and sets his chill upon
the air,
We still bethink US what the Christ
month gave.
And what it brought to us, we tender
fair.
The children are as new as rail
or beam
More new than last nights snow upon
the street.
And they, and not the rails, are all
our dream:
The rails are but the passage for their
feet.
Our Christmas shall live again in
them,
With all the added Christmas of this
time.
The day Of steel, tho day of
Bethlehem,
Linked, joyous, bridging far from
cllme to cline.
ct us fare out into the eager
- throng,
And find renewal in the shining eyes,
And catch the treble ecstasy of song,
And drench ourselves in laughter and
surprise.
This is the breath-this is the soul
Of things.
1t shall 90 on when iron husks are
shed.
The roe, the dove, the biplane, all
have wings,
Let US the children feed, and so be fedl

A CHRISTMAS SONG.

Oh, Christmas is a Jolly time.
When forests hang with snow,
And other forests bend with toys.
And lovely Yule-logs glowi
And Christmas is a solemn time
Because, beneath the Star.
Tho first great Christmas gift was given
To all men. near and far.
But not alone at Christmas time
Come holiday and cheer,
For one who loves a little child
Hath Christmas all the year.

tials probably the change is
not so great as it seems. What
grandma and grandpa have in mind is
that the old-time simplicity pertaining
to the great festal day has given way
to innovations that are more fanciful
and elaborate. The gift that comes
in a gilt-bordered box, tied in pink
ribbons, probably is opened with as
much expectant thrill, however, as
the exploration of the olden-time
stocking occasioned.
We get little glimpses here and
there in the colonial chronicles of
Maryland of the old-time Maryland
Christmas and there are plenty of
traditions afioat of the rural before
the-war Christmas. Always the
