CHRISTMAS IN ENGLAND

not meet to abuse the world, but to
make it better by our individual exam
pie. In a word let us be cheerful and
generous and help to make others so,
thus yielding to the magic of Xmas
that can win us back to childhood
days; that can recall for the old man
the pleasures of his youth; that can
transport the sailor and the traveller
back to his own fireside, even when
thousands of miles away from home"
Charles Dickens ought to be heard
as well as Charles Lamb, for no Eng
lish writer has loved Xmas more:-
Christmas has come round and the
unkind feelings born during the year
have melted away before the genial
influence, like half-formed ice beneath
the morning sun. Welcome old aspira-
tions, then, to your shelter underneath
the holly; welcome old loves, however
feeting, to your hooks among the
steadier lights that burn around us.
Welcome all that was ever real to our
hearts and to our sympathies. Kindly
hearts that have yearned toward each
other, but have been withheld by false
notions of pride and self-dignity, are
again reunited, and all is kindness and
benevolence"
Akin to the tribute of Dickens is that
of our old literary friend, Washington
Irving: "Of all the old festivals, that
of Xmas awakens the strongest and
most heartfelt associations. There is
tone of solemn and sacred feeling
that lifts the spirit to a state of hal
lowed enjoyment l love, therefore, to
see Xmas day well kept by rich and
poor. 1t is great thing to have one
day in the year, at least, when you are
sure of welcome everywhere-when
you have, as it were, the world all
thrown open to you.
Midnight Mass.
One mark or sign of Christmas in
England is music; always gay and
speaking eloquently of the season. The
strains of midnight Mass are beginning
to be heard again in many hamlet
and Minister town, after what Newman
calls the Second Spring. Midnight
Mass is very popular and wherever
possible, it is celebrated with appro-
pirate music. On Xmas eve the bells
of every church peal for an hour or
more-it is a custom as old as the
country. One hamlet answers to an
| other, as if the whole land were sur
denly invaded by musical bands signal
ling to each other.
Christmas Carols.
At home the songs and carols seem
to be keeping time to the church bells.
Young and old are expected to sing,
especially the old. And what old Eng
lish gentlemen of sixty or seventy sum-
mers has not his stock of carols and
Christmas verses? Often the latter
are frolicksome, and, as he sings them
for the young folk, he is bound to
please their fancy. OF course some

night at Alwick, 50 miles from William

details filtered in here late today.
From what has been learned the men
tagged the train. When they discovered
it was a freight they opened fire. shoot
ing into the freight cars and sending a
steady stream of shot along either side
of the train. After the first shock the
crew returned the fire. Two of the three
bandits were seen to fall, but aided by the
| third, regained their feet and retreated up
a mountain side.
Warnings were sent to nearby points
by messenger. Tonight many persons
have volunteered to hunt down the men,
and posses are scattered throughout the

CHOKES TO DEATH

ing House

Florence, February 2s-(Special. while
partaking of the noon meal at the board
ing house of j. e. McLin, w. q. Crimes,
a horse trader of Clifton, Tenn, was
choked to death when food lodged in his
throat. Two other boarders were at the
table and gave the unfortunate man
water, but was unable to swallow.
A physician was summoned and reached
him while he was still alive, but the usual
remedies failed. The physician said that
congestion was present and was possibly
the cause of the mans inability to swal-
low.
Grimes owned a large farm six miles

and was said to be a man of considerable
means. He came to Florence Monday
bringing a drove of horses to trade. He

After six hours of argument, the railroad

mitted to Judge w. l. Grubb of the fed
eral court Friday night for decision as
to whether or not the railroad commission
ought to be held in contempt OF court
and its order for 2ls cent passenger rate
enjoned.
The railroad contended that the com
mission violated the federal Injunction is
sued by Judge Thomas G. Jones. when
it ordered the re-establishment of the
lower rate after it had been enioined by
the order and that the question was one
of the court to make and order in and
not the commission.
Attorneys for the commission said thatit
considered that, it had authority to order
the lower rates, that conditions in 1910
would not suffice for 1913. and that the
railroad could make fair profit with
the lower rate
