The Heritage

The rich mans son inherits lands,
And piles of brick, and stone, and
gold,
And he inherits soft, white hands,
And tender flesh that fears the cold,
Nor dares to wear a garment old;
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich mans son inherits cares;
The bank may break, the factory
burn,
A breath may burst his bubble shares,
And soft, white hands could hardly
earn
A living that would serve his turn;
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich mans son inherits wants,
His stomach Graves for dainty fare;
With stated heart, he hears the pants
Of toiling hands with brown arms
bare,
And wearies in his easy chair;
A heritage, it seems to me, vs..
One scarce would wish to hold in fee. !.
What doth the poor mas son inherit !!
Stout muscles and a sinewy heart,
"A hardy frame, harder spirit;
King of two hands, he does his part
In every useful toll and art;

Community Christmas
Tree At Fort Lee

For the first time in it's history
Fort Lee celebrated Christmas with a
Community Christmas Tree on Tues
day evening last. AS arranged, the
children from schools 1, 2, 3 and 4
and the Catholic Parochial School in
Lemoine avenue marched to White
man School where they formed in
order of march. After each child had
been presented with box of candy,
the procession began, led by the Ber-
gen County Military Band. When
Monument Square was reached where
it had been promised there would be
Christmas tree; but there was no
sign of it. Suddenly, from distant
corner of the Square, the vision OF a
glittering tree shone out. President
Edward Kaufer, of the Board of Edu-
cation, had touched the button which
had electrically lighted the hundreds
of bulbs in the trees great branches.
President Kaufer welcomed the young
people on behalf Of the School Board,
and said that he had been assured
that Santa Claus would be present. "A
salute to the flag was sounded by
Charles Sheehan, and the band led
the throng in singing "Holy Night"
and other Christmas carols. Mayor
White then delivered short and elo-
quent address on the beautiful spirit
of the occasion and the message
which Fort Lee was thus sending
forth to the world. "Would that more
of this spirit were prevailing in the
terrible battle zone Of Europe to-day,"
he said. "This spirit of neighborli-
ness and brotherly love which feel
is with us and among us tonight, as
surely feel will continue abide With US
through the years"
Rev. Father William Thompson re-
ferred to the founder of Christianity
who had given his life for the saliva
ton of the world.
Rev. Kelder, of the Dutch Reformed
Church, Coytesville, said that the les
son of the community Christmas tree
was an invaluable one not only to all
who were present, but to the com
muniy as a whole and by example to
ether communities. 1T is tel hoped
that this idea will take such a mold OF
the people and become so UNIVERSAL
that in time it will bring al lasting
peace on earth in place of war;" It
is estimated that fully thousand
persons were present on tuesday
night.

For Trinity Children

All the young people of Trinity
Church and many of their parents and
friends were present at the Guild
Hall on Tuesday evening to see the

Columbine in the persons of George
Drew and his sister, Dorothy, were
present on the stage; as were Pierrot,
played by Ethel Smith, and Pierretle,
played by Frances Bushell; Allan
Henry Gebhardt of Pantaloon. Doro-
thy Drew did some charming dancing,
and Miss Florence FRANKIE sang the
Christmas "Adeste Fideles." The
wonderful antics of the trick scenery
created by F. L. Smith, including
moving moons and cupboards, held
the audience spell-bound. Mr.. Smith
was assisted by Mr.. Won Osthoff and
Mr.. Eslick in this work.
After the pantomime was finished
it's author, D. A. Carson, appeared
disguised as Santa Claus, pouring out
a steady stream of Christmas gifts
and candy.

Basket Ball At
High School Gym,

The Cliffside Park High Varsity
Basketball team met team made up
from the Cliffside Park High Alumni
at the high school gym in what proved
to be somewhat uneven game. The
greatest unevenness occurred in the
first half at the end of which the
score resulted in 81 to 8 in favor of
the former. The second half was won
by the Alumni boys by a score of G
to 9, which, however, brought the
total score up to 81 to IL, in favor
of the undergraduates. The Alumni
men were greatly handicapped by lack
of training and knowledge Of the
game, whereas the varsity team
showed the advantage Of training at
the hands Of Coach Quill. The varsity
team was captained by Harvey Griffin
and the Alumni by Erwin Goemann
The two were a good match for each
other. One of the features of the
game was the scoring of Perraud who
made 81 points. This was in the first
half; in the second half he was out
played by his opponent, Rob Cadien
Although Tuesdays game was the
sixth or seventh played by the local
boys, it was their first victory. The
Alumni team say that they are going
to practice hard for the next game to
be played probably in March. There
was probably little too much rough
work in Tuesdays game, and Umpire
lniga had to speak sharply at times
The score follows:

A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son in
herit?
Wishes o'erjoyed with humble
things,
A rank adjudged by toil-worn merit,
Content that from employment
springs
A heart that in his labor sings;
A heritage, it seems to me,
"A king might wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son in

A patience learnt by being poor,
Courage, if sorrow come, to bear it,
A fellow-feeling that is sure
To make the outcast bless his door.
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
O, rich mans son! there is toll,
That with all others level stands;
Large charity doth never soil,
But only whitens, soft, white
hands
This is the best crop from thy
hands;
A heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being rich to hold in fee.
O, poor mans soon, scorn not thy
stage;
There is worse weariess tina thine,
In merely being rich and great;
Toll only gives the soul to shine,
And makes, rest fragrant and be-
nign;
A heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being poor to hold in fee.
Both, heirs to some six feet of sod,
Are equal in the earth at last;
Both, children of the same dear God.
Prove title to your heirship vast
By record of well-flled past;
A heritage, it seems to me,
Well worth life to hold in fee.
