CHRISTMAS VISION

On Christmas eve mid all the joyous glee
That in my righteousness surrounded me,
! happened by some chance to turn mine
eye
Out through a window wreath that hung
near by.
And as l glanced through it into the
night
/ seemed to see, lit by some holy light,
A childish face with wistful. smiling lips
That thrilled me to my very finger-tips.
Two eager hands stretched forth called,
as in stress.
To me to carry help to Helplessness,
And in the sad eyes of that child ! saw
In all its loneliness the Christmas Law
Not a command no everlasting Must
Upon Reluctance for its teaching thrust,
But lust a pleading hint to him who runs
That all who suffer are Gods Little Ones.
And then the picture in the wreath was
gone,
And in its place the Eastern Star-beams
shone-
The same that nineteen centuries ago
Led on the Wise Men with their heavenly
glow;
And cen as they wandered through the
drifts
And into lowly places carried gifts
To cheer. and give release, and pay my
due
Unto my Lord through them that suner

MISUNDERSTANDING THEIR

If the German-Americans as
class have been misrepresented, their
quarrel is chiefly with their own
newspapers.
The response of our German Ian
guage publications to the Presidents
message to Congress is almost In
credible to the rest Of the American
press. They have bristled with In
dignation over that part of the doc
ument which condemned disloyal
citizenship and urged the need OF
surpressing plots for the destruction
lof American property, life and neu
trality.
In this utterance President Wilson

Just as mysterious is the attitude
taken by these newspapers toward
the crimes that inspired the denun-
citation. They have chosen to ignore
absolutely the conspiracies and acts
of violence of which the whole ma
ton has knowledge. According to
them, there have been no ships
burned at sea, no munition factories
blown up or leveled by incendiary
fires. no American property de-
stroyed, nor American lives lost, nc
American laws broken, by men act
ing in Germany's behalf for money
or from alien loyalty.
These newspapers are not merely

they are shutting their eyes to pat

And their hoof beats falling fast.

His sleigh is fun of pretty toys.

He pauses on the hearthstone,

FRENCH CHRISTMAS OMENS
Ancient and Curious Beliefs Reganiins
the miraculous Cures
for Various Ailments.

In France, particularly, superstition
dies hard, and there is probably no
other country where the people still
retain so many ancient and quaint be-
hers in connection with Christmas
day. Several of these relate to
miraculous cures OF all the ills which
nesh is heir to. For instance, the
chilly proceeding of bathing on Christ
mas day is supposed to insure one
against both fever and toothache dur
ing the coming year, another proven
tive of fever being the abstention from
| all meat on December 25th, a great
sacrifice for the average man; while
remedy for ulcers could be obtained
py those who refrained from eating
prunes on that day.
A cure for everything, however, can
be found in the large loaf chiefly made
IN Provence, and called lie pain de
calende.' 1t is very large and very
white, and from it is cut a small piece.
marked with a knife with three or
four crosses. This is carefully pre-.
served as remedy. and used when
required. the remainder of the loaf
being divided among the family on the
Feast of Epiphany
With regard to bread, 1t is believed
that loaves baked on Christmas eve
remain fresh for ten years, and during
the whole Of the holidays portion OF
bread was left out on the table night
and day because the Madonna might
come in to share it. But unless she
wishes to bring misfortune on the en-
tire family it behooves the French
housewife not to bake any bread be
tween December 25th and the Festival
of Circumcision.
Cattle can be kept in good health
by giving them something to drink
Immediately after midnight mass or
Christmas eve before entering the
house And good harvest could bs

is carried to its destination in the

The Cakes Were Baked.


The great Dutch feast of st. Memo
las the first week in December last
year was celebrated in Holland with
difficulty. For one thing, the war cut
off the supply of almonds, for CEN
turtles a constituent Of the famous
figures, or "speculaas, baked out OF
St. Nicholas cake, as well as OF the
seasonable CONNECTION known as ban,
ket.' At the last moment, however,
a single shipload of almonds arrived
from Spain and partly saved the stu
alton There still remained the short
age of white -four due to government
restriction, and of cooks owing to the
mobilization of the troops. But the
government removed its embargo for
the festival and the bakers called up
to arms were granted a weeks leave
at their ovens, and SO the feast OF 81
Nicholas held its traditional sway.
