The Christmas Muse
Three Christmas Classics.

Three Christmas Classics.
As Oft as comes the Christmas time
I read again. in prose or rhyme,
Three classics old Of Christmas mirth or
OF varied message, apt, sublime.
One told I'm prose and two In chime
or verse that like the holly, crowns the
year.
Tho first Of these in time and place.
Most III the Christmas eve TO grace,
Is youthful Milton's wondrous Christmas
wherein his genius dared 20 trace
The mysteries OF time and space,
And scared as on the wings OF cherubim;
And then I gladly turn TO scan
on D1Ckens' page the miser man,
Old scrooEe, with heart like Londons
TIL Mariy's ghost. that for a span
On Christmas eve escaped the ban
OF dreadful doom, had shown to Scrooge
his own
But when the Christmas spirits three,
The Past the Present. the To BE,
To ScrooEe had shown their visions, made
them clear,
No longer miser scrooge was he,
But went about most Joyfully
With Christmas in his heart throughout
the year.
And last turn again to rhyme,
AMY read "A Visit from St Nicholas"
Again I hear his reindeer climb
The snowy roof, with silvery chime
OF bells that soft upon the midnight pass.
o poet-sers! SO may you long
In magic prose and Christmas song
Still tell the story Of the worlds great
night:
And may your visions fair prolong
Their charm till from the earth all
Is bsnished by the Christmas spirit

Industrial Peace.

We peace in American industry. but we do
not want peace at any price. We want peace TO rest
government settlement any other than the
happiness and rights Of the will always pro-
test.-Frank j. Walsh. chairman OF the federal
mission on industrial relations.
And every sober-thinking man with fixed
opinions on the subject will agree with Mr..
Walsh. Industry and government are so CO.
related in human affairs that they must rest
upon the same principles OF justice or they will
not rest at all, A basic principle OF free gov
eminent implies a sense of mutual interest and
inseparable welfare. This same rule must gov
ern relations in industry where success and pros
perty rests entirely on the point of mutual in
terest.
Two Of the most notable obstacles to indus
trial peace today. aside from the abstract lack
of mutual condolences, are the absentee control OF
big interests on the one hand and the self seeking
walking delegate, or paid agitator. on the other
Fortunately the menace of both have been
brought forcibly to the attention OF this COM
mission and will be specifically dealt with in its
report to congress.
Surely enough economic power and resources
have been wasted in this country on fool devices
that keep labor and capital constantly estranged
and make distrustful enemies instead of mutual
friends of employer and employee, TO be ready for
a Encouragement OF the whole industrial
system. But let no one be so simple as TO sup
pose that the millennium is TO come in a day, or
year, even after this commission completes its
investigation and submits its findings TO con
gress. but all the indications point to steady
progress in the right direction.

A hoy Mt ChrIstmas.
Edgar A. Guest. in Judge,

Edgar n. GueSJt III Juubo.
II I could have my wish tonight, II would
not be for wealth or fame,
II would not be for some delight that men
who live in luxury claim;
But It would be that I might rise at
or a. M. to sec,
with eager, happy, boyish eyes, my pres
ents on the Christmas tree.
Throughout this world there Is no Joy, l
know now am growing gray,
SO rich as being just a boy, q little boy
Christmas day.
I'd like once more to stand and gaze en-
raptured on tinseled tree
With eyes that know just how to blaze,
a heart still tuned to ecstacy;
I'd like to feel the old delight, the surg
ing thrills within me come;
To love a thing with all my might, to
grasp the pleasure Of a drum:
To know the meaning OF a toy-a mean
ing lost to minds blase;
To be just once again boy, little boy
on Christmas day.
I'd like to see a pair Of skates the way
they looked to me back then,
Before ia turned from boyhood 3 gates
and marched into the world of men;
I'd like to see jackknife, too, with those
same eager. dancing eyes
That couldn't fault or blemish view; I'd
like to feel the same surprise,
The pleasure, free from all alloy, that
has forever passed away,
When l was Just little boy ana had my
faith in Christmas day.
Oh, little. laughing. roguish lad! the king
that rules across the sea
Would give his scepter IL he had such joy
as now belongs to thee!
And boards OF gray would give their gold
and all the hOnors they possess
Once more within their grasp TO hold thy
present fee of happiness.
Earth sends no greater, surer Joy, as, too
soon thou as I. shall say,
Than that of his who is a boy, a little boy
on Christmas day.

One Marx of Civilized Warfare.

Without a formal armistice, the opposing
hosts of Europe have planned. each to itself, TO
observe Christmas day by resting arms, and re-
framing from battle, thus giving one mark at
least of civilized warfare contrasted with the
conflicts of savagery. BY no means do all the
combatants called into the field profess q re-
lgon which makes Christmas their recognized
holiday, but despite the divergent religious
creeds. they all seem to accord a generous toll
erence to the faith of their comrades. In what
other war, which history records can be found
similar voluntary truce respecting a religious
festival and its celebration? While so-called
civilized warfare may be rs relentless I'M

While shepherds watched their flocks by

A star appeared to them.

Hark hear the angels sing;

Angels from the realms OF glory.
