The Russian St. Nicholas.

In Russia the children put their
shoes filled with hay outside the door
for the horses of St. Nicholas; and
1t is believed in most sections that
ST. Nicholas comes first on a prepare
tory visit ten days before Christmas
to learn which children have been
good He leaves nuts and candy in
the shoes of those who have been
good, but nothing for those who have
been bad, who thus know that they
may expect no presents on the real
Christmas day.

NE COLD winter night the
snow was gently falling on
the pine trees of the for
est. These tall, stately


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
l am strong enough and tall enough to
be cut down by the wood cutters. l
hope when they do cut me down that
l 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.
81 have heard many stories of the
seas, and the ships that sail on them,
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 it's white blanket.
Wont you please ask the Starbeam
to tell us a 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 time long time ago,
long before even the oldest pine trees
here began to grow, beautiful Wom-
an, named Mary and her husband, Jo-
sepa, 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
a little babe was born, and it's mother,
nice clean straw.
Away off 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
manger with his mother by his side.
These wise men had brought some
very costly gifts to this babe, and it
Is the birthday of this babe that is
celebrated every Christmas, and it is
in his memory that gifts are given to
the poor.
THAT is all of the story, and it is
time for me to be going" and the Star
beam went gayly on, dancing over the
tops of the trees.

The Bran Pie.

This is an English custom. The
gifts are hidden in a large pan OF bran.
A string is tied to each package, and
on the end or the string is the name
OF the one for whom the package is
intended When all have their strings
they all pull Then comes the fun OF
getting the bran off and opening the
packages.

will resume her studies in Hey Cross
College. Mt 81
We are requested to announce that
Rev. w. H. Owens will preach at the
court house Sunday morning at II
o'clock, and each second and fourth

Miss Virginia Harris left the first of
the week for Clarksdale where she has
accepted a position in the public
schools. Her leaving is the source OF
genuine regret among the patrons OF
the school, the teachers and the chill
dren where she was a genera favorite.
Her qualities as a teacher are rarely
found and it is a distinct loss to the
school that she was not retained in the
faculty. The inducement offered by
Clarksdale was too fattering for Miss
Harris to decline.
