THE GIFTS FOR MOTHER

The gladdest hour of Christmas day.
The time the hearts are lightest
An every care Is chased away
An all the smiles are brightest,
Is when the family. young an old.
From dad TO little brother,
With all the love that hearts can hold
Come bringing gifts to mother.
We keep her presents till the last
An then when she sits rocking.
An all the other gifts are passed,
We go an get her stocking.
We gather round her easy chair.
First one an then the other
Steps up an says: We'll. / declare!
Here's something else for mother!"
An with each present goes kiss.
An all Is still an quiet
When mother murmurs: What Is thisr
An hastens to unite II.
Then everybody wildly cheers
An shouts for perfect gladness.
An mothers eyes are moist with tears.
But not the tears OF sadness.
Oh, here's q scene that gold can't buy,
Or stage In imitation.
The smiling face, the glistenlng eye
OF loves own celebration.
And with each jolly Christmas day
We pray to know another
When We shall meet the self-same way
And bring our gifts to mother.

To Avoid Big Crowd.
Up to the very last moment 1t is
probable that the exact hour of the
wedding ceremony will be kept Sc
cret. The desire is to prevent the
gathering of huge crowd about the
Calf residence. AS soon as the cere-
mony is over and the members Of the
family have congratulated the bride
and groom. the newly married ones
will leave for the South on a honey
moon trip which probably will last un-
till the first week In January. The
president and his bride must be back
in Washington before January7 in or
der to act as host and hostess at a
great reception to be given in the
White House to the Pan-American rep
resentatives in the capital, and, more
over, because congress by that time
will have reconvened after the Christ
mas holidays and Mr.. Wilson must be
back at his desk.

NER the pine trees Of the for
W80N est. These tall. stately
trees stood very straight
and still on this cold night. BY and
by the tallest and the oldest Of them
said:
How happy I shall be when at last
am strong enough and tall enough to
be cut down by the wood cutters. !
hope when they do cut me down that
may be good enough that they will
want me for some great ship, and then
shall have chance to sail the seas"
What do you know about ships and
the seas" asked little pine tree who
stood at the foot of the tall one.
The stately tree bent his branches a
very little and looked down at the
small tree, at his feet.
Il have heard many stories of the
seas, and the ships that sail on them,
for the birds sit In my branches and
sing to me all the time Of the beauties
and wonders of the world. Then. too.
the starbeams, who are much older
than the birds, have some truly won
derful tales to tell of things that they
have seen in their trips around the
world. There is the Starbeam of the
Brightest Star, just peeping over the
hilltop He can tell some truly won
derful tales"
The little pine tree trembled for
very Joy. This was his first winter in
the forest. and these things were all
new to him. just as was the snow that
was covering his roots, and making
them all warm with its white blanket.
Wont you please ask the Starbeam
to tell US story?" asked the little
pine.
Let us ask him to tell us again the
Christmas story" said another of the
older pines. "the one he told US last
year."
So, when the Starbeam came over
and rested gently on the tallest pine,
he asked it to tell again the Story OF
the First Christmas.
Il love to tell this story best Of all
stories that know" said the little
Starbeam.
Once upon a time a long time ago
long before even the oldest pine trees
here began to grow, a beautiful WON.
an, named Mary, and her husband, Jo-
seph. went on journey to little city
called Bethlehem. All the people In
that country went to this same city, to
pay their taxes, and when Mary and
Joseph got there, they found SO many
people, that there was no room left
for them at the inn. The only place
where they could find shelter was in a
stable, and here they went. That night
little babe was born, and it's mother
Mary, laid him in q manger on some
nice clean straw.
Away of in the East. the Brightest
Star appeared. He had never been
seen before, and some wise men who
knew that this was the time for the
babe to be born, saw the Brightest
Star as they started out to find the
babe. All their long journey the Bright.
est Star kept Just in front of them to
show them the way to go, and when
they rested at night. the Brightest
Star would rest too, and wait for them.
At last they reached the city Of Beth.
lehem. and found the little babe In the
Manager with his mother by his side.
These wise men had brought some
very costly gifts to this babe. and II
is the birthday Of this babe that is
celebrated every Christmas, and 1t is
in his memory that gifts are given to
the poor.
THAT is all of the story, and 1t is
time for me to be going" and the Star
beam went gayly on. dancing over the
tops Of the trees.

chief advantage claimed for this cen

the concentration of fire resulting from
it. Some naval constructors question
the practicability of keeping these new
