nese have their feast days, which they
observe In their own peculiar manner.
Each religion has its own but there
is n Thanksgiving day for all, when
all, of whatever faith, can, in their
w way, call on God and praise Je-
sus or Mohammed or Buddha.
Nov. IS, 1887, was our first national
Thanksgiving day, ordained by the act
OF the Continental congress and pro-
claimed by George Washington. The
day was set apart, In the words of the
resolution, to express gratitude that
God had been pleased to smile on us in
the prosecution of a just and necessary
wal for the defense and establishment
of our unalienable rights and liberty"
The constitution had just been adopt
ed, and before the act setting aside this
day of thanksgiving had been finally
passed there had been not a little dis
cussion in congress about the propriety
of the presidents asking people to give
thanks for a constitution for which
some of them were not thankful
1t was later that the last Thursday
In November came to be the day
chosen, when no marked event indi-
Gated another day, and the thanks Of
the nation, united under the constitu-
ton, were expressed on Nov. %, 1879.
Since that day the custom has never
been omitted entirely, although until
the civil war it was only occasionally
observed except in New England
1t was u civil war which brought
the people to a new ems of national
oneness, and since 1868 the president
of the United States has annually is
sued a proclamation of thanksgiving.
But what president or prophet or
sage in 1861 could have dreamed that
half a century later the lines of, such
a proclamation would go out into all
the world?

The Two Little Stockings

Two little stockings hung side by side,
Close to the fireplace, broad and wide.
"Two?" said ST. Nick as down he came,
Loaded with toys and many a game.
sHo, no." said he, with a laugh of fun,
"lIl have no cheating, my pretty onel
I know who dwells in this house, my
dear a
There's only one little girl lives here"
So he crept up close to the chimney
place
And measured a sock with a sober
face.
Just then a little note fell out
And fluttered low like a bird about.
nAhal What's this?" said he, in sur
As ne pushed his specs up close to his
And read the address in a child's rough
plan.
"Dear st. Nicholas" so it began,
"The other stocking you see on the wall
have hung for a poor girl named Clara
Hall.
She's a poor little girl, but very good,
So | thought, perhaps, you kindly would
Fill up her stocking, too, tonight
And help to make her Christmas bright.
If you've not enough for both stockings
Please put all in cIara's-l shall not
care"
St. Nicholas brushed a tear from his eye,
And "God bless you, darling" he said,
with a sigh.
Then softly he blew through the CHM
ney high
A note like a birds as it scars or high,
When down came two of the funniest
mortals
That ever were seen this side earth's
portals.
"Hurry up" said ST. Nick, land nicely
prepare
All a little girl wants where money is
rare"
Then, oh, what a scene there was in
that room!
Away went the elves, but down from
the gloom
OF the sooty old chimney came tum-
bling low
A ehild's whole wardrobe from head 20
toe.
How Santa Claus laughed as he gath
cred them in
And fastened each one to the sock with
a pinl
Right to the toe he hung a blue dress
"SheGI think ii came from the sky, !
guess"
Said ST. Nicholas, smoothing the folds
of blue
And tying the hood to the stocking too.
When all the warm clothes were fas-
tened on
And both little socks were filled and
done,
Then Santa Claus tucked a toy here
and there
And hurried away to the frosty air,
Saying, "God pity the poor and bless
the dear child
Who pities them, too, on this night SO
wild"
The wind caught the words and bore
them on high
Till they died away in the midnight
sky,
While St. Nicholas flew through the icy
air,
Bringing peace and good will with him
everywhere.

Christmas In Porto Rico.

While the American children are
hanging up their stockings their cous-
ms in Porto Rico are placing their
shoes and u p%asteboard box filed with
fresh grass on the window stills. The
grass is intended for the mules on
which the three wise men rode.
After the presents are removed a note
is usually found at the bottom of the
box. The note states that the children
have not been as good as they should
have been, therefore the wise men do
not deem it proper to leave better pres
ents. Magnificent presents are prom
Used for the next Christmas provided
the children behave themselves dur
ing the next twelve months. Then a
postscript follows, stating that the
mules were offended at some little sins
committed by the children and couldn't
eat the grass.

The Secret of the Tree

A tall fir whispered in the wood,
"I'd tell a secret If could"
Then all the dry leaves on the ground
Whisked up and down and all around
To see if they the news might hear
And spread it quickly far and near.
But the tall tree answered not the call
1t bowed politely, that was all,
And flung it's ~tassels to the breeze
And looked the wisest of all trees.
But when | came beneath the tree
It whispered, Eyes, I'll tell it thee"
Then, as | rushed in eager haste
And threw my arms about it's waist,
| held my breath that ! might hear
"My child, Pm coming Dor to be
Your very own dear Christmas tree"

1t is really the grown folks who have
a downright good time at the toyshop.
They usually spend a long time exam
lining everything before they settle on
lust what they want to buy for Christ

they insist that it shall be wound up
and put through its PAGES. If it is a
plaything composed of a lot Of small
items each piece must be looked over

A Christmas Secret.

Grandpa says that all who try it

And If all would try to heed it
Earth would soon be full of cheer.

has only to refer to official 'communi-
cation 34,926 from the office of Henry
of the state of New York, which was
delivered by special messenger to a
committee of seven youngsters cared
for by the Society For the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children.
Word spread among the 200 children
who were to spend their Christmas at
the headquarters of the society in New
York city that their elders were ro-
mancing when they told of a jolly old
fellow who travelled in a sleigh and
distributed presents at Christmas time.
Miss Ada A. Penchoen, the matron,
first learned of the skepticism of her
charges when a committee consisting
Of four little girls appeared before her
and wanted to know the truth.
She consulted Ernest X. Coulter, the
| superintendent, and then advised the
committee to communicate with the ad
jutant general of the state.
Three little boys were added to the
| committee dI a los hCCllhS VI liz
children. and this communication was
forwarded to Albany:
General H. D. Hamilton, the Adjutant
General, Albany, N. Y:
We are a committee Of seven little boys
and girls, and we want to know whether
Santa Claus is really coming to see us at
7 o'clock next Saturday evening with a
sleigh full of toys. Some bigger boys and
girls have told us there amt no Santa
Claus and that even IL there was he
wouldn't be coming in a sleigh and with
reindeer, for there amt no snow and
there amt no reindeer that we ever saw.
Anyway, Jimmy Farrell says that in these
days, If there was any Santa Claus, he
would be coming in an airship. Won't
you please tell us? And don't make US
wait, so We won't be disappointed.
This communication was signed by
George Collella. Frank Conway, Roc
co Fanella. Levina ~Cavanaugh, Lillian
Otto. Rosie Gennoldi and Rosina Cen
noldi. Here is the reply:

The Adjutant Generals Office.
Albany. N. Y, Dec. IS.
Returned to writer's through the official
channel with the information that accord
ing to our roster the distributing officer
referred to was last on duty issuing and
delivering supplies at posts in the vicinity
of these headquarters on or about Dec. %
last. At that time his means of trans
portation was especially noted, as instead
of an army wagon of the standard pattern.
OF an ~aeroplane. he used a sleigh, drawn
by a team of reindeer instead of army
mules. The speed made, however, was
swift, and deliveries. according to the best
Information obtainable, were accomplished
with a promptness rarely attained in our
service.
A disbursement request on Form Els, 7O3,-

forage for the reindeer before arrival on
your reservation.
