Center until possibly short time
back knew nothing else save that all
was lovely in that old established
household
Father" the children called him,
and the mother. too. son" and
daughter the father was wont to
call his children.
But there was another whom father
frequently talked about loving, about
whom father all too often protested
ms love and affection for, as Mrs.
Shirley put it in her suit for divorce
iued in the district court yesterday
morning.
And this reads Mrs Shirkey's pc
tuon, has made living with the de-
tcndant unbearable, has destroyed the
ultimate aims of matrimony and al
tocted the plaintiffs health and peace
OF mind"
Mr.. Sharkey waived answering the
charges, asking that the case be dis
posed of at the convenience of the
court Mrs Shirley asks the GUS
tOdy of the three children, besides the
request that her husband be freed to
love whom he pleased.

Four Ancient
Christmas
Carols

WNHE ancient Christmas carol
Holy Night" is German In Its
origin and is considered by
many persons to be the most
beautiful OF all Christmas carols. IL
has sometimes been ascribed to Martin
Luther but the consensus of expert
opinion IS that 1t Is much older than
his time and Is one of the oldest OF
German folk songs.
The carol God Rest Ye Merry, Gen
tlemen," Is English In It's origin anu
dates back to about the beginning OF
the seventeenth century, although the
author of the words and the composer
Of the music are unknown. The nne
old melody sung to this poem pos
sesses all the best qualifications OF
sterling hymn tune and VIII probably
last as long as the verses with which
1t is always associated.
Originally the old carol was sung In
polyphonic harmony with the melody
placed In the tenor, as was the inVari-
able custom Of the seventeenth cen
fury. Modern prescriptions OF 1t,
however, have placed the melody IN
the upper voice part instead of the
third voice part, as formerly This
carol. too, is one Of the most popular
and most beautiful I'm the entire range
OF Christmas music.
The carol Draw Nigh, Emmanuel"
Is one Of the oldest pieces of coherent
music in existence, and both the words
and music far antedate any OF the
others The music is an old French
melody, dated from the thirteenth cen
fury. although, Of course, It has been
harmonized to conform with more mod
ern standards.
There Is a most curious but beauti-
full musical effect at the close OF this
carol. The words of Draw Nigh. I'm
manuel" are about 100 years older
than the music. being taken from the
Mozarabic breviary Of the twelfth cen
fury. and It is generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy OF
the early Christians at Toledo. Spain.
where the Mozarabic breviary was for
INFLATED.
Another carol, THE First Noel" has
a traditional French melody and prob
ably originated in Breton, although the
exact origin OF this ine old song Ii
somewhat In doubt.

THE CHRISTMAS STORY.
It's All Real to Bobby Boy, Who'd Like
10 Ride With Santa Claus.

Bobby Boy was sitting IN his wee
brown chair so close to the great bunch
OF Christmas holly that he could
stretch out his fingers and touch the
shiny red berries whenever he wanted
to make believe that he wns far away
in the great forest in Santn Claus land.
He had only to close his eyes ana
"shiver his shoulders" rs II lie were

he must tell Sister Marjorie just what

"'Sh! said Merry Bell; don't fright

mas reindeer will know US and come
running TO us to let US kiss them.
That's how we know which are the
good reindeer that will carry dear old
Santa safely over the world on Christ

The Realm of
Christmas Fancy

To the realms of Christmas fNncy
must speed away, away
Where the elfs of joy are dancing
And the sprites Of pleasure play.
I must go where gentle fairies
Whisper softly on the air
And the gift king waves his scepter
Over blessings sweet and rare.
Childhood's realm of Christmas
fancy
Once again shall feast my eyes
With the old time love and rapture,
With the old time fond surprise.
In the Pickering hearthstone shad-
ows,
In the music and the mirth,
Once again each dear remembrance
Speaks good will aid peace on
earth.
In the realms of Christmas fancy
1 shah very shortly see
All the old, beloved memories
Coming back to gladden. me.
Long forgotten forms End faces,
Long departed thoughts and
dreams,
I shall find in those fair vistas
Where the Christmas glory
streams.

Christmas Legend

The legend of St. Boniface
and the first Christmas tree has
been beautifully told. The
scene lives before us-the win
try night, the swelling hillock
crowned with the great oak
tree, the thunder oak" sacred
to the pagan god Thor; the
tongues of rudy fame, the
ranks of white clad warriors,
women and children facing the
altar; the hoary high priest
and kneeling child, the victim
doomed to die by the blow OF
the hammer, a sacrifice to
Thor, the hammerer.
Then the coming of Boni-
face. the blow from the ham
mer turned aside by the cross,
the rescue of the boy, the fall
of the oak beneath the mighty
, blows of the apostle, the story
of Jesus simply told and how
sin, not human life, is the sac
rifce he asks.
"And here" said the apos-
!, tie as his eyes fell on a young
fir tree. with its top pointing
toward the stars, amid the
divided oak-''here is the iv-
ing tree, with no stain Of blood
upon it, that shall be the sign
OF your new worship. Parish

A Christmas Carol
BY HENRY wADswoRTH L0NGFELLOw
T HEAR along our street
4 Pass the minstrel throngs.
Hark They play so sweet
On their hautboys Christmas
songs.
Let us by The fire,
Ever higher,
Sing them till the night expire
In December ring
Every day the chimes;
Loud the glee men sing
In the streets their merry rimes'
Let US by the fire,
Ever higher
Sing them till the night expire
Shepherds at the grange,
Where the babe was born,
Sang with many change
Christmas carols until morn.
Let us by the fire,
Ever higher,
Sing them till the night expire
These good people sang
Songs devout and sweet.
While the rafters rang
There they stood with freezing
feet.
Let us by the FIRE,
Ever higher,
Sing them till the night expire
Who by the freside stands
Stamps his feet and sings,
But he who blows his hands
Not so gay carol brings.
Let us by the fire,
Ever higher,
Sing them till the night expire

kWVE9sge.WE
~ NEE on time in queer little
town
On the shore of the Zuyder
Zee,
When all tie g2ol people were fast
asleep,
A strange thing happened to me.
Alone the night before Christmas,
I sat by the glowing fire,
Watching the fame as it rose and
fell,
While the sparks shot higher and
higher.
Suddenly one of the sparks began
To flicker and glimmer and wink
Like big, bright eye till / hardly
knew
What to do or to say or to think.
Quick as fash it changed to face,
And what in the world did I see
But dear old Santa Claus nodding
his head
And waving his hand to me
ooh, follow me, follow me-" soft he
cried,
And up through the chimney with
him
I mounted, not daring to utter q
word
Till we stood on the cllimney's
rim.
'Now, tell me, beg you, dear
Santa Claus,
Where am I going with you9"
He laughingly answered: why,
don't you knowF
To travel the wide world through.
"From the crystal palace, far in the
north,
have come since dark, and see
These curious things for the little
folk
Who live on the Zuyder Zee"
Then, seating himself in his rein
deer sledge
: And drawing me down by his side,
He whistled, and off on the wings
of the wind
We flew for a midnight ride.
But first such comical presents he
left
For the little Dutch girls and
boys
Onions and sausages, wooden faced
dolls,
Cheese and gingerbread toys,
Soldiers that marched at the word
Of command,
Necklaces bracelets and rings,
Tiny gold watches, all studded with
gems,
And hundreds Of exquisite things
Straight to America then, where l,
Perched on a chimney high,
Watched him scramble and hustle
about
Between the earth and sky.
Many a stocking he filled to the
brim,
And numberless Christmas trees
Burst into bloom at his nagi j
touch.

"You can see his smile in the sky.

Once on a time in queer little

French Aviators
Have Narrow Escape
Correspondence of The Associated pre...,

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Paris, July 15.-Sergeants M
and W of the French flying corps
have established q new record; their
machines collided at height of 1000
yards above the suburb of Pantin, be-
came locked together with the crash
and landed in tree with part of the
wreckage resting on the roof of a
house and the rest upon a network of
telegraph wires, while both pilots es-
capped without a scratch.
Neither of the heroes Of this ad-
venture were experienced aviators,
which perhaps explains the collision,
but now they claim to be "vaccinatedd
and demand the privilege of going to
the front.
"Vaccinated" in aviation parlance
means that the pilot has had his in
