The Z Ilree Kings,
By HENRY W. LONdFELL0W.

+ . y
Three kings came riding from far away
3! Melchior and Gnspar and Baltasar.
Three wise men out OF the east were they.
And they travelled by night and they slept
by day. s.
For their guide was beautiful, Won
derful star.
the star was so beautiful. large and clear
: That all the other stars Of the skv
Became white mist in the atmosphere.
And by this they knew that the coming
was near
OF the Prince foretold in the prophecy.
Three baskets they bore on their saddle
bows
Three caskets Of gold with golden keys
Their robes We're of crimson silk with
" pells and pomegranates and furbelows,
Their turbans like poisoning almond
4s trees.
And so the three kings rode into the west
through the dusk of night, over hill and
dell, .-.-
And sometimes they nodded with beard
on breast <
And sometimes talked as they paused to
rest ..-.---=
With the people they met at some way
'Of the child that is born" said Baltasar,
Good people. pray you tell US the
news, ,
For we in the east have seen his star
And have ridden fast and have ridden far
To find and worship the King of the
-a@. Jews
And the people answered, You ask in
vain
We know of king but Herod the
Great"
They thought the wise men were men in
AS they spurred their horses across the
plain
Like riders in haste who cannot wait
And when they came to Jerusalem
Herod the Great, who had heard this
thing
Sent for the wise men and questioned
them
And said, go down unto Bethlehem
And bring tidings Of this new King"

to take the suggestion favorably. but

at that time eleven years old, was per

So they rode away. and the star stood
The only one in the gray of morn
Yes. it stopped-it stood still of its own
free will
Right over Bethlehem on the hill,
The city Of David. where Christ was
born.
And the three kings rode through the gate

Through the silent street till their horses
turned
And neighed as they entered the great inn
yard,
But the windows were closed. and the
doors were barred,
And only a light in the stable burned.
And Graded there in the scented hay.
In the air made sweet by the breath of
kline,
The little child in the manager lay.
The child that would be King some day
OF kingdom not human. but divine.
His mother. Mary of Nazareth,
Sat watching beside his place of rest.
Watching the even flow of his breath,
For the JOY Of life and the terror OF
death
Were mingled together in her breast.
They laid their offerings at his feet
The gold was their tribute to king:
The frankincense, with its oder sweet,
Was for the priest; the paraclete,
The myrrh for the body's burying.
And the mother wondered and bowed her
head
And sat as still as a statue of stone.
Her heart was troubled. yet connforted.
Remembering what the angel had said

throne. ..-.. w.. -"

2 Mr.. ,Glumm on Christmas.

My old friend Mr.. Glumm declares
That holidays are all a Sell:
They interfere with our affairs
And cost a lot of cash as we'll.
And yet his words cannot provoke
My envy for his boarded sum.
I'd rather find myself dead broke
Than view the world like Mr.. Glumm
He vows that festival events
Are but rehearsals for ill health.
He tastes no pleasant condiments
Unless perchance, tits done by stealth.
But cen dyspepsia cannot make
My views of life to his succumb.
I'd rather have a stomach ache
Than nurse crouch like Mr.. Glumm
