and ExpresSmen the
Year Around
FEW EXCEPTIONS
ARE ALLOWED

Transfer companies, expressmen,
teamsters and other persons in this
city. affected by the recent emergency
revenue law making it necessary to
place one-cent stamp upon all re-
ceipts for packages hauled. are given
additional information on the new law
in statement issued from the
Office of internal revenue collector.
The collectors have been kept busy
explaining the exact provisions OF
the law regulating the payment of
this and other special taxes. While
not so many persons are af-
fected in Wilmington. still around
the Christmas holiday season
many smaller teams will start
in the hauling business and Il is then
likely that more questions will arise
All deputy revenue collectors in the
district are instructed to follow and
enforce the law as follows:
Receipts shall be issued and tax
stamps be required thereon in every
case covering all packages or freight
received for transportation TO any
point whether within or without city
limits by every person, corporation or
concern engaged in the business Of
moving merchandise for hire. This is
regardless of whether such person or
concerns be engaged solely in the
transportation OF goods within the
limits of a city or town or whether
they are also engaged in the transpor-
tation of merchandise between diff
ferent cities and towns"
A recent treasury decision makes it
further clear by stating that "the rul-
i ing, however. is not applicable TO the
movement of household furniture
from one residence to another. or of
trunks. hand baggage. or of a passen
ger to and from railroad stations or
steamship piers. Packages or freight
under contract covering a certain
period. whereby for a lump sum or
an amount measured by the number
or weight of packages transported
they are to be delivered in a certain
locality, are also not affected accord

Christmas Among
The Wealthy Riddles

~HRISTMAS In Millionaire row!
~ Is it day spent in fairyland,
where one has but to wish and
all sorts Of lovely things come tum'
bling down from somewhere?
Does Santa Claus come decked In
gold and diamonds when he dashes
over the roof tops as the little children
Of the rich lie softly Graded in their
beds? Not bit Of it. Santa is the
same Jolly old saint when he drops
down the chimneys Of Fifth avenue,
New York, as when he leaves toy
on the ash strewn hearths of the east
side. He knows that, although the big
nurseries and playrooms Of the ave
nue. already hold stacks of toys and
beautiful things, somehow when the
flavor of fir and holly is in the air
there is the same thrill In the hearts
of the tots In fur and velvet as In
those in cotton. And blessed old Santa
smiles on both!
To all youngsters, rich or poor-yes
and old or young-he is the embodi.
ment of the blessed Yuletide spirit
which brightens the entire year.

The Newborn King.

To the superficial skeptic 1t may
seem some grounc for doubling the
divine character of Jesus Christ that
he should be born in a stable and laid
In a manger and the first courtiers Of
the young King of the Jews should be
the rude shepherds of Bethlehem. But,
to him who thinks, these difficulties be-
come rather evidences of his glorious
character and beneficent mission to the
human race. Between the stable of
Bethlehem and the marble palace of
the Caesars in Rome there can be, in
the sight of God, only the difference
between two little things, for all that
is created must be little In the sight
of the infinite God. And as the mis-
sion of Christ was to elevate the help
less and the poor 1t was eminently suit
able that he should be born among
them. For those who are weak enough
to be scandalized at his poverty we
say, Behold the kings of the east are
PROSTATE at his feet. Offering their
gold, incense and myrrh. Being wise
men, they well understood that the lit
tie tinsel of earthly splendor was not
essential to such royalty as his
Archbishop Ryan.

is THERE A SANTA CLAUS?

One of the gems of present day jour
nalism Is the reply Of the New York
Sun to the letter of little girl, Vir
ginia O'Hanlon. who. not douNting the
editors infallibility. demanded the
truth about Santa Claus Here is the
editors answer:
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
He exists as certainly as love and gen.
erosity and devotion exist, and you
know that they abound and give to
your life it's highest beauty and Joy.
Alas, how dreary would be the world
If there were no Santa Claus!' 1t would
be as dreary as if there were no Vir-
sinias. There would be no chiIdlike
faith then, no poetry, no romance, to
mako tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment except in
sense and sight. The eternal light
with which childhood fills the world
would be extinsuished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as we'll not believe in fairies!
You might get your papa to hire men
to watch in all the ohimneys on Christ
mas eve to catch Santa Claus, but
even If they did not see Santa Claus
coming down what would that prove
Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that il
no sign that there is no Santa Claus
The most real things in the world are
those that neither children nor mer
can see. Did you ever see fairie:
dancing on the lawn? Of course not
but that's no proof that they are mol
there. Nobody can conceive or i'm
agine all the wonders there are unseer
and unseeabIe in the world.
You may tear apart the baby's rattle
and see what makes the noise inside
but there is a veil covering the unseer
world which not tho strongest mar
nor oven the united strength of all thu
strongest mon that ever lived can lift.

rha Yision of the AnaeIs.

There is love in the will, truth in the
understanding, peace on earth, good
will among men. The sight Of such a
glorious vision, even In the dim dis
tance of future ages, kindled the holy
affections of the angelic host until their
Joy burst forth into an anthem of praise
that filed the heavens with harmony.
."Glory to God in the highest, on earth
peace, good will among men," Let us
take up the refrain, and let the earth
re-echo the song "Glory to God In the
highest, on earth peace, good will to
men."-Rev. Chauncey Giles.

Religious Sisnfftcance Of
Christmas

~ HRISTMAS has new meanings
Fl as the years go on. There
w. was a period-say half cen
tury ago and less-when the
religious meanings were somewhat en-
feebled in the minds Of many by the
dazzling dominance of scientific discov-
cry and thought.
To many whatever Christmas then
had of spiritual meaning was rather
In the way of sentiment, of tradition.
Of natural good fellowship and of the
spirit of practical charity.
There was haunting sense of un-
reality in the direct message of the
pulpit, feeling that the historic su.
pernatural was much akin to the inno-
cence Of the Santa Claus myth itself.
Since then the Christ idea has taken
new significance and proportions in
those minds which are of the kind call
ed skeptical, even in the minds over
which the warrant of the supernatural
has little sway or none at all.
In books and sermons one comes
upon the preaching of the idea of
Christ and the message of Christianity
in tone and In a language which ap-
peal with tremendous force not only
to the so called orthodox. but to all Sc.
rious minds of whatever training or
tendency.-Century Magazine.

FAMOUS SWORDS OF TOLEDO
Admittedly the Best In the World,
There Was Little Secret In
Their Construction.

Many Of the kings of Spain ac-
corded to the finest swordmakers Of
Toledo certain privileges, such as ex-
emption from certain imposts and
duties appertaining to the sale of
swords, the purchase of iron and
steel and other primary material.
The steel used by the espaderos Of
Madrid was obtained in an iron mine
situated about three miles from Man
dragon, in the Basque provinces.
According to Palomeus, a Toledan
swordmaker Of the eighteenth CEN
fury, it is an error to suppose that
the Toledans preserved particular Sc
crets for the tempering of their arms.
They were compelled to use the wa
ter of the Tagus, as we'll as the fine
white sand that the river contains
in its bed. This sand served for the
operation of what they termed Gre
frescar la calda," or cooling, for
when the metal became red and COM
menced to throw off sparks the espa-
deros instantly sprinkled it with
sand.
The blade having become cherry
red, they plunged the point into
wooden reservoir full of the water
of the Tagus, and, having once cooled
it, they Strengthened it as much as
was desirable.
They then subjected such of the
blades as had not hitherto been ex-
posed to the fire, and when it began
to redden they took it by the tongue
with red-hot pincers and plunged it
into sheep suet until it cooled, an
operation that impaired temper to it.
One famous Toledan swordmaker
of whom mention is made was Jul
liam, surnamed ell Moro, or the Moor,
by reason of his coming from Ora
NADIA, where he worked until the end
of the fifteenth century for King
Boabdil.

MUCH LIKE THE HUMAN RACE
Hindu Scientist Asserts Plants Can Be

Except in structure, plants are

of the Presidency college, Calcutta,
informed an audience in the conserv-

Cold weather is nuisance to

they dread electric shocks like a man

bored and droop with WEAKNESS, and
when they can't stand it any longer
they have commissions and die in ex-
circulating pain.
On the other hand they reciprocate
love and declare their happiness to
