DECEM BER

Oh, holly branch and mistletoe
And Christmas chimes where'er We go
And stockings pinned up in row
These are thy gifts, December!
And If the year has made thee old
And siIvered all thy locks Of gold
Thy heart has never been a-cold
Or known a fading ember.
The whole world is a Christmas tree,
And stars its many candies be.
Oh, sing a carol joyfully
The years great feast in keeping,
For once on q, December night
An angel held a candle bright
And led three wise men by it's light
To where a child was sleeping.

historic character-more SO perhaps
than the men and women, no longer
living who consecrated by their deeds
and words the scenes about which
their memory still fingers. The old
churches of a city have always been
objective points of historic interest to
pilgrims, just as in the old world the
great cathedralS and other churches
draw, with magnetic power, the WIS.,
itors from other and newer lands. The
reason is not alone the frozen music"
of architecture, but that in these sa-
cred fanes and around them there are
the memorials of praise and honor and
love which the present contributes to
the past.
Charleston is proud of her historic
church edffices and their adjacent
gods acres" which in stone and
graceful curve and heaven pointed
spires proclaim the pride she still mas
in those her children who have gone
on before.
Charleston is enphatically a city OF
churches. which represent the many
varieties and shades of creed that
now mar and modify the original de-
nosit of faith and the oneness of pr1m-
tive organization. If the number OF
edffices set apart for divine worship

BEAUTIFUL DESCRIPTIVE
ARTIHIE RY DR.. WHALEY.

In the Greater Charleston edition of
the Charleston Evening Post, there
ia a most interesting and charmingly
written story of Charleston as
the city of churches, from the pen of
DR.. Pezc4vaA H. Whaley, formerly
rector OF Christ church in this city.
In the opening paragraphs of this de-
lightfu1 and interesting story, Mr..
Wha1ey says:
charleston is still the most attrac~
tive place of pilgrimage on the North
American continent, beautiful in stu
alton. romantic in association, abiund-
ing in people of mind"
This Is the opinion of a scholar or
national reputation, DR.. Albert B. Hart,
professor of history in Harvard UNI
yersity, in his book on 1.-THE Southern
South"
Historic facts and scenes, historic
traditions and buildings, historic
names constitute the cause or reason.
Anart from natural scenery, which IS
always more or less of an incentive
To the traveller the historic condl-
tions as they cluster around persons
who are gone and places that remain
make I'D the attractive influences that
accentuate what DR.. Hart calls pill
gr4mage. ~, ,.u

by the good old Christmas Saint =
And others come from girls and boys
to whom good old st. Nick would
never find his way were it not for
the ST. Nicholas Girl and others like
her, who make it possible for the chill
dren to have a happy Christmas.
This year there are more of these
children than ever in all the history
of Santa Claus's long life. In far
away Belgium little children are home
less and hungry. The good Christmas
ship has taken care of great many
of these children, and in New York
and many other cities men and wo-
men and children are still working to
care for these homeless little ones.
Pensacola sent lots Of little warm
clothes. many pretty toys and more
than fifty dollars to help the starving
Belgians. 1t was a beautiful deed well
done. But here with us, too, there
are little children who are hungry and
who would be homeless, were 1t not
for those who are trying to relieve
their suffering.
The woman's cooperative Relief
| Association, Of which Mrs. ]. S. Nc
Gaughey is president, can tell you
about these children, and their tired
mothers and disheartened fathers.
Mrs. Stevens of the Salvation Army,
can tell you about them, for she goes
among them, day by day, trying, often
vainIy, to relieve their necessities.
Mr.. Paulsen can tell about them
and the st. Nicholas Girl knows their
sad story.
There are many little hungry chill
dren in Pensacola today. ~
The Womans Cooperative RELIEF
| Association, through the kindness of
the Warren Fish Company, are making
arrangements to furnish fish chowder
once a. week, so that many who are
| hungry NAV have at least one good,
| substantial meal a week. That ism

| is something we'll worth doing. Many
who always give are giving doubIy
! this year, and still there is not enough
money to care for those who are IN
need.
It has been suggested that In His
Name this Christmas many of US might
| cut out the useless giving, and con-
fine the gift-making to those who
are very near and dear, and give ou1
+, surplus, even if it be little, to helr

The children must be made happy, OF
course. That goes without saying.

Don't get into the habit of putting
a lead pencil between your teeth. II
unfortunately you have acquired this
habit, watch your teeth.
It used to be considered quite chic
to have at least one gold filled tooth
where it could be seen when one
smiled.
Critics are now complaining that the
smile of the American girl is too gold
en-" That is she displays too much
gold every time she opens her mouth.

asked what he considered one of the

The Daily Alaskan spoke a few days ago about the rotten mail ser vice that is being handed out to Skagway by incompetent or careless federal employees in seattle. Con- firmation of the truthfulness oi our statement, if any is needed, is furnished by the KetchikaD Miner of a recent date, which says
 After being just about 96 hours On tho way, the fast and furious steamer Bertha, made port last light about seven o'clock from the south. The joke of the whole thing was the fact that tho Seattle post Cffics had put mal on her, not withstanding her speed record and the fact that two vessels, the Jef- ferson and Alameda, were leaving so soon after her that they both beat her up on the trip"
