A Christmas Carol.

What means this glory rourd our feet"
The magi unused. more bright than
NORM
And angels chanted dear and sweet,
To-day the Prince of Peace is born!"
What means that star" the shepherds
THAT brightens through the rocky
glenn
And angels, answering overhead.
Sang, Peace on earth. good will to
men,"
It's eighteen hundred years and more
Since those sweet oracles were dumb.
We wait for him like them Of yore.
Alas he seems so slow to come!
But it was said in words of gold
No time or sorrow e'er shall dim
That little children might be bold
In perfect trust to come to him.
All round about our feet shall shine
A light like that the wise men saw
IL we our loving Wills incline
To that sweet life which is the law.
So shall we learn to understand
Simple faith of shepherds there
And clasping kindly hand in hand.
Sing. Peace on earth. good will to
men,"
And they who do their souls no wrong,
But keep at eve the faith of morn.
Shall daily hear the angel song.
To-day the Prince of Peace is born!

then. let us remind ourselves of the
simple. human ways in which God
comes to earth. To Bethlehem he came
as Il baby. to Nazareth as lad, to
Jerusalem as teacher and friend. AS
he came to those cities of old, so he is
always coming. | do not forget. of
course, that he comes also in sunsets
and fields, in storms and earthquakes.

And every common bush af1ame with God.

a man. The real gospel is not Cos

might have sooner ceased expecting

comes most and best by men and

half Of the overworked employees of

that while we are planning for joyous
Christmas of our own we give others
a chance to have one. That is precisely
the point The Christmas message
must be translated by us in terms Of
consideration for others. Christmas
joy must be borne to the homes Of
humber folk, not by angels. but by hui
man hands and feet.

magic of the season-through
some little thing done by son

thought estranged from them by
those things which come be-

memory more tender than they
had dreamed of. | wonder how
many sons and daughters have
under the magic influence Of
Christmas had their hearts sof-
tened so as to be moved by some
little manifestation of love by

would have thought little of, per-

FOUND GOLD LONG HIDDEN
Ancient Prophecy Fulfilled But Puzzle
Concerning the Earliest Celtic
People Remains.

The quantity of pure gold ornaments
found in Ireland and in the Celtic
parts of Scotland is one of the puzzles
peoples, says the duke of Argyll.
Where did they obtain enough gold to
make the twisted wire, the bracelets
with the open space between the
spoonlike ends? Did they obtain the
metal by barter with strangers, and, II
so, what could they give in exchange
for so much bullion?
In Sutherland, of late years, gold In
tiny scales has been found in the
sands. It Is strange that the objects
In gold are usually large. Few small
ornaments in this most precious metal
have been recovered. l knew Of one
hoard recovered, and, although the
legend that 1t existed had currency
among the people for some time, It had
never been searched for, and was oh
tanned by accident. A great boulder
stone lay on grass-grown ground at the
bottom of valley.
1t had probably been dielodged by
some volcanic upheaval from a cliff
which overlooked this valley. There 1t
stood ION end" and there was a tale
connected with 1t, but the story was
treated as an old wife's "havers," and
no man had dug to find out the truth.
Agriculture, however, began to be
Systematically pursued, and all land at
low level was required. Superstition
among the crofters made them avow
that the concealed gold would never
be found until the son of stranger
came. Powder was utilized to blast
away the big boulder-stone. Flowing
had already been undertaken around
It.
The plowman waited at some dis
lance with his team until the blast had
taken effect. When the pieces of rock
were removed the pillow was drawn
over the site. 1t was recently-em-
ployed English boy who guided the
pillow. Three solid gold bracelets were
found on the spot where the boulder
had once been. Thus an English boy
fulfilled the prophecy of the story of
long ago.

IRISH BROGUE MOST ELUSIVE
Native Born Generally Lose II II Edu-
Gated Abroad-Peculiarity Of
Negroes Of Jamaica.

The Belfast brogue, 1t is pointed out
by a correspondent, Is the most pro-
nounced In the whole of Ireland, for
the vowels are shorter than In Cork,
and the hard consonants harder than
in Glasgow. In Dublin, where they
think they speak the most perfect Eng
lish in the world-they call 1t Dublid
there Is little or no accent, only an
infection, which always betrays the
speakers origin. Dublin people are
counted affected and Anglicised In
Cork and Galway.
The Irish accent, as matter of fact,
Is very elusive. Irishmen who have
been at school In England generally
lose 1t In their youth. Parnell lost his
at Cambridge, and It never came back
to him. On the other hand there are
men who have never been in Ireland
who might have come straight from
the quays of Cork harbor.
In Jamaica there are large num-
Der of negroes with the brogue-a fact
that is supposed to be due to their an
cestors' association with an Irish regi-
ment quartered In the island.

bad. The country would not suffer
materially if practically all new work
provided for in this bill we're postpon-
ed and the amounts allotted ito work
underway reduced to the smallest sum
compatible with the public service.
There is little doubt that the gross
amount Of the appropriation could be
thussreduced at least half. The pub
grounds and buildings appropriations
afford a still more inviting field for
economy. The elimination of the APP
preparation for a public building in
Podunk will have no serious practical
effect, except per chance on the Podunk
congressman's prospects for re-elec-
ton, and if his real public service en-
titles him to reelection it ought not
to injure even then. The public
grounds and building appropriations
could be most entirely suspended for
the ensuing two years with little pub
lie loss. The balance of the $780,
900, 900 deficit can be readily overcome
by a judicious application of the prun-
ing knife in other governmental de-
partments.
The democratic national platform
Of 1912 pledged the party to econ
omy in public expenditures. That
pledge seems 10 have been largely
overlooked in the splendid construc-
tive work of the present congress.
Now, with the European war placing
an unexpected and heavy embargo
upon the national revenues, the econ
omy plank becomes a very live issue
and the party pledge should be
redeemed.

ducks, the Democrat presented to its
readers the party ticket of state, leg
lsfatIve and county candidates for
office at this falls general election.
We will leave for the reader to settle
IN his own mind whether or not
hunters of votes, prairie chickens and
ducks, all come under the provisions
of the game laws of the state. Any
how, it is just as we'll to jog the
minds of some of the busy ones that
election day is only some eight weeks
away and that politics will soon have
to be given a certain amount of atten-
tion, war or no war. Also, there is

ECONOMY-N0T WAR TAXES

1t is estimated that the European
war will reduce the customs revenues
of the United States 800, 900, 900.
Instead of making up this amount by
imposition of stamps or other oppres-
sive revenue measures, congress would
commend itself to the country by the
practice of economy, scaling down the
national expenditures to fit the re-
duced income. This would not be so
difficult a problem as may appear upon
the surface. The "pork Darrell is a
mighty good place to start the appro-
priation slashing.
The Rivers and Harbors bill, as
passed by the house, appropriates the
enormous sum of $55, 900, 900 for
many projects, some good and others
