child was born into the world

a few years hence it will be also

greeting Merry Christmas! On

and in the hovel. in the hos.
pitfalls and in the prisons, in the
asylums amid the orphans and
in the homes for the friendless
and the aged, wherever even
two persons meet who know
and love the story of Christmas
the greeting is exchanged.
Where can there be a parallel to
the universal greeting? Is
there any other sentiment that
has the sovereignty of this
cheerful and h eartfelt word?
It travels through the mails like
nothing so much as the doves
to the affairs of which the scrip

gentle as the dove. Grudges
and animosity vanish before

the sentiment of universal good

KATRINA'S CHOICE A Story of New Years Day In
 New Amsterdam
By r. A. MITCHEL

While some workmen were recently tearing down building in Mulberry street, New York. they came upon a small space that had been bricked uI for long while containing desk oi a pattern used a hundred years ago The desk was empty except for some manuscript which had been locked in one of its drawers and evidently for gotten or left unnoticed when the desk was cleared of its contents and put away. The find was sent to the custodian of the Historical society, who on inspecting the manuscript and seeing the name attached to it-Died- rich Knickerbocker-open his eyes very wide.
 Re 1t remembered that this Diedrich knickerbocker during the tirst decade of the nineteenth century appeared al a hostelry In Mulberry street. New York, called the Independent Colum- blan hotel. where he wrote a history of New York which was afterward edited by Washington Irving. and hay ing been published attained wide
 
 manuscript referred to the custodian of the Historical society was surprised and delighted to find that it accounted an incident that occurred in the city of New Amsterdam (afterward New York. during the administration of the old Dutch governor. Petrus Stuy- vesant. the incident having taken place n, HrSf nf day 0riUon over by the New Amsterdamers to making visits and the consumption of an inordinate amount of Schiedam schnapps.
 Mir. Knickerbocker left the lnde- pendent Columbian hotel one day and never returned. nor was he heard of afterward The custodian who received the desk and the manuscript believes that the building being torn down con- stituted a part of the hotel. and after Mir. Knickerbocker's departure the desk was put away in a closet, which was afterward bricked up; also that the author undoubtedly left the manu- script in the drawer.
