At Banquet Given in Their Honor
 Wednesday Evening

As the guests of the Arizona Drug Clerk association, the members of the state pharmaceutical board and their friends gathered in the American Kitchen Wednesday evening at nine o'clock, there to enjoy the banquet prepared in their honor
 In all there were some forty or more of the board and the visiting Dill men in assemblage.

NEW YORK, Nov 13.-The upward movement of stocks halted and the market was under pressure. with the range of prices materially lower until swift upturn shortly before the close virtually cancelled the days losses. Dispatches from Mexico City over night removed the main prop of the bulls and effectuaIy checked operations on the long side of the market Shortly before the end of trading reports from Washington of decidedly favorable developments caused the market to rally strongly. New Haven fell two points to 76, Mexican Petroleum receded a simi- lar amount to Al 3-4, both prices being the lowest at which the stocks ever sold On the final upturn Mex ican Petroleum jumped four points from the days bottom prices. Further reduction in steel prices was re- ported. The failure of the II. B. Rollins company was without effect on the market The bond market was heavy. There were increasing sales of gilt edge issue.

A CHRISTMAS HOUSE PARTY
Skating, coastins and sIelghns Good
Country Pastime While City Offers
Sightseeing, Music.

A house party at Christmas affords
the young people Of the family a
chance to be gay and CHEEKY for a
weekend or more. The charm Of a
house party is in the bringing together
Of congenial guests who spend sew
eral days with their hosts. When the
girls and boys return from college or
boarding school for the holidays they
often bring with them as guests class
mates whose homes are too remote to
make it worth while for them to take
long and expensive journey for the
recess. The girl and the boy who hail
from the west and attend an east
ern school of learning, may be forced
to spend homesick holiday If no
comrade tenders an invitation to join
family group.
Outdoor sports, skating, coasting,
tobogganing and sleigh riding are the
pastimes of the country, while the city
offers sightseeing, music and the
at home, the little parties invited to
meet the visitors, and the whole merry
and swiftly passing time make a
Christmas houseparty one Of the gala
seasons of the year The house.

0ust as truly as love is, Santa Claus is.
" Santa Claus is a personifed sent-
ment he is reality.
We speak and learn and teach of God
whom the world has never seen except in
Christ Jesus, yet His existence is manifest
IN everything. He is reality.
Santa Claus need not exist in physical
form to be comprehensible-his spirit is
endowed and devolved upon millions OF
willing personfiers. who in the spirit in
which old Santa himself would shower
blessings, shower them for him.
1t isn't lie to tell the children Santa is
coming; it isn't even Il white" lie
Santa Claus is coning
He may be the father, mother, brother or
stranger, but the sentiment of Santa
Claus is upon him. He is Santa Claus.
Hes the expression Of that which other
wise would indeed be myth or cease to
exist: He is the action of world-old
thought: He is the physical component
OF Love, Charity and Pity.
Santa Claus is Love made tangible.
He is not one, but many, and it takes all
the flesh and blood Santa Clauses of all tho
world combined to make the one big Santa
Claus whom the children know and wor-
ship and whom we symbolic in great furs
the wondrous figure whose great, kindly
face with its never waning smile invites the
confidence of the universe.
Santa Claus is.
His visible form is generosity and kind
ness.
You can see him giving the newsboy a
quarter for penny paper.
You can see him, Scrooge-like though it
may seem, helping here and there;
Or, and this is nobler than all the rest,
you can see him sharing his last tiny mite
with another while tears of pity and hap
piness mngle in the bright smile tho
token gives.
Every household in its own way knows
its Santa Claus
Don't deceive the children by telling them
there is no such person.
Santa Claus is, and may he always be.

The Children

This is the age Of girder, beam and
rail.
We have forgot some things that once
we knew.
Some books are closed: we read
different tale.
Brown smoke curls 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 the day of
Bethlehem,
Linked, joyous, bridging far from
cline to cline.
ct us fare out into the eager
IL 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 60 on when iron husks are
she'd
The roe, the dove, the biplane, all
have wings.
Let US the children feed. and so be fedl

tldlS pTODaDly the CQdnBe 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
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

traditions afloat Of the rural before
Christmas feast has been a great
event in the social life of the state.
1t has been day of family reunions
from colonial days down to now. A
Maryland Christmas feast of the olden
time is aptly described in that classic
phrase "the table fairly groaned un-
der the burden of the viands." Sump-
tuous plenty was the first law of the
olden Christmas feast. 1t wasn't SO
much on the decorative settings; it
didn't make specially of fancy sal
ads, but there was nothing to lie de-
sired in way of substantials.
AS was the feast so were the Christ
mas festivity in general. 1t was gay and
glad, boisterously gay and glad, with
romps and games which have gone out
Of fashion along with two-course, table
groaning dinners. But the animating
spirit of Christmas is the same now
as it was 100 years ago, and will be
the same 100 years hence as now
Which is but to say: Youth is ever
the same; the new things are but the
old things in altered outward guise.

Oh, Christmas Is a jolly time.

And other forests bend with toys,
And lovely Yule-logs glow!

To all men, near and far.

Come holiday and cheer,
For one who loves little child
Hath Christmas all the year.

This demand always exceeds the nor
NAL demand for new coins, and the
treasury has heretofore not always
been in a 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 mystery
to the treasury officials. OF course
much of the smaller coins, bright.

THE TRUE CHRISTMAS.

'Tis a beautiful custom-this Christmas
Remembering each old friend,
With some little tardy memento
Which takes with it love without end:
"ris sweet to be thus held In memory
By one you hold close to your heart,
But at Yuletide let's not be forgetting
That the gifts are but one little part.
There's far grander, holier lesson
To be CLEANED from this season of cheer.
1t isn't just jewels that are craved for
BY the ones to whom we are near;
Give kindness and love and assistance,
Not only to body, but soul,
And you'll find that you're drawing much
closer
To the seasons significant goal.
Give a word of sweet solacing comfort
To those who are laden with woe,
Give sympathy where you can mete IT.
Hold no such thing as a foe
Send some little glimmer of sunshine
To the lives that are far from the light,
'Tis then that you'll know the full mean
ing
OF that star that shone forth in the night!
