IN place built, like Bethlehem, in
L many cases against the soft
limestone rock it often happens
that the existence of a cave where
the house was to be was a great at
traction since it offered a ready
made, dry, above ground cellar as
well as a specially suitable spot for
the household animals and for
storeroom. 1t would seem that Jo-
seph was at last able to get room in
some such back portion of a house,
and there, we are told, Mary bore
her divine Son.
A cave below the high altar of
the Church of the Nativity is now
shown as the very place where this
august event transpired; little re-
cess, shaped like a clam shell, its
floor of marble wrought into a star
in the center, bearing in Latin the
words, "Here Jesus Christ Was
Born Of the Virgin Mary" A row
of lamps hangs round the outer
edge, the right to attend to them be-
ing jealousy watched matter, each
of the ancient churches, the Greek,
the Latin, the Armenian and the
Coptic, having one or more of these
under it's care.
The evidence for this site is SO
strong that most persons accept it as
sufficient, reaching up, as it does, to
within living memory of the days of
the apostles. But even if this be an
illusion the fact remains that in this
petty village the Saviour of the
world was made man for our re-
demption. No wonder that we read
Of the anthem of the angels, for
surely nothing could draw forth the
interest of the heavenly population
like the exceeding grace God was
showing to sinful man.
The scene of the visit of the shep-
herds is pointed out as on a rough
slope, facing the village, at some
distance to the east, Bethlehem "
ing far above on its mountain seat.
One can follow the shepherds in
their journey to see the unspeakable
wonder. They would go along the
rich valley of Boaz and then up the
terraced hill by path still in use,
nor is it uninstructive to reflect
that, while simple shepherds were
led by angels to the manger, the
high priest and the great Of Jeru-
salem, SO near, slept through that
most illustrious night of all history,
quite unconscious of what had hap
pened. But we know of it, and may
God grant that if we cannot go with
the shepherds to Bethlehem we may
one day go to the right hand of God
and worship him there, who that
night lay a little child in Mary's
arms.-Dr. Cunningham Geikie.

CHRISTMAS CHILDHOOD.

Christmas is, perforce, winter fes-
tival, family and fraternal reunion.
Suffer little children to come" Lo,
they have come. And the music of
their child voices The concert of the
morning stars, what were they to the
natural unframed melody of innocent
childhood in its joyous expectations?
Abrief, bright morning picture with
fervid expectant fancy attuned to
peace and good will to men," sacred,
solemn, confident, joyous, peace" a
good will" and fraternal friendship
that shall fill and fructify and sanctify
the yealTsto come.
All, childhood, Christmas childhood
See how for one day it mocks the
poets lines, "Some traces of Eden We
still inherit, but the trail of the SER
pent is over them all. Its own gift
is always the best, and it rejoices that
Bill and Jim and Lizzie and Sara Jared
as well. "Peace on EARTH" but not of
earth; good will" that shall inform
the coming year and mold the man and
woman of the future.

cranberries, popcorn. nuts and other
dainties beloved of birds. Strings Of
red skinned apples, cut into tiny pieces
convenient for birds to peck at, were
a prominent feature of the decorations,
and so were bacon rinds and Jumps of
Suet, which are good to keep warmth
in the little bodies when the cold creeps
under their feathered coats.
Miss Louise, who spent most of her
time in the country, studied the ways
OF the birds and their likings, and she
knew that they are as strongly attract
ed by bright colored things as are chill
dren. That is why the tree was made
pretty with gay tinted berries.
There was large attendance, and
no birds were turned away, no matter
how shabby their coats or dlsreputable
their regulations. The clustering little
English sparrows were welcomed with
the rest, although they tried to bully
the others. Even grouchy old Sir Crow
was permitted to peck bit.

Derived From Days Of YOre.

1t is beautiful arrangement and de-
rived from the days of yore that this
festival, which commentaries the an
nouncement of the religion of peace
and love, has been made the season
for gathering together of family con-
nections and drawing closer again
those bands of kindred hearts which
the cares and pleasures and sorrows of
the world are continually operating to
cast loose, of calling back the children
of family who have launched forth
In life and wandered widely asunder,
once more to assemble about the pater-
nal hearth, that rallying place of the
affections, there to grow young and
loving again.--Washington Irving.

Christmas
Gifts From
The Woods

de paper birch is an especial
treasure, but we never cut the
bark from a living tree, even
when deep In the woods, I'M
less we know that the wood
Is doomed to be cut at once.
Too many ignorant or
thoughtless people do not hes
itate to strip the beautiful
papery bark from the living
tree, not realizing probably
that the bark Is needed to
protect the running of the
sap and that the outer bark,
so smooth and silvery, will
never renew itself. SO, even
IL death does not Immediately
follow, the beauty of the tree
is gone, said Ora Parker
Phelps In the Housekeeper.
Once / found a dead tree
from which was able to slip
several feet OF bark In rings.
This only needed to be sep
arated into convenient sizes,
fitted with tight bottoms,
sewed in place by raflia or
sweet grass, and lifting lids
attached, to make boxes ready
to fill with Christmas sweets.
In making laurel wreathing
or garlandlng we have found
that by taking small twigs
and winding one on to an
other, using light picture wire
as binding, the wreathing
makes very rapidly and easily.
When the white pine cones
fall we gather bushels of
them. And such treasures as
the cones are In the open
IRE they make Il glorious
blaze-fit background for
wonderful fire castles-and
as for kindlings they are alb
solutely unsurpassed.
Remembering that the two
little cousins living on the
Pacific coast once sent a bar
rel of the Western cones to a
much loved poet, greatly to
his delight, we tried sending
q sack of cones, gayly decked
with laurel, to a city friend
who loves an open fire. In
the very bottom was a small
"chunk" with a paper bear
ing these words: IN. B.
This is a Yule Log" An
other time an armful of the
cone bearing branches of the
red pine were sent to a friend.
But our especial Christmas
gifts, the ones we send to the
nearest and dearest, are our
little Christmas trees. We
take a day and go up to the
mountain swamp where grew
the cranberries, and there we
choose wee. little shapely
trees, getting them. so far as
we can. from the deep shade
of other trees, for these are
doomed TO an early death
tkyway. We fit each little
stuce securely to a board,
d.sering 1t with moss and
sailing vines. Then we deck
tree. OF course the gifts
he tiny and varied to
Ne to whom they go.

GREAT INFLUX or PEOPLE

HAUSTED THE LEVY.

Unless the public comes to the res
cue of the school at New Healdton
the chances are that the session will
come to a sudden HIATT for lack of
funds. When the appropriation for
this district was made It was deemed
ample, and it would he under normal
conditions. The school has been op.
Grated in the past by two teachers,
early this year another was added.
and as the great influx to the new
town and the new oil extension be-
came greater two more were added
which soon consumed all the money
available Under the law there Is no
way TO pay the salaries Of teachers
ana maintain the school after the fund
Is exhausted, and unless some radi-
cal means is adopted the chances are
that the school will have to be closed.
2ore are two methods open to
overcome this difficulty. one Is for
The teachers to go ahead with their
work TO the end of the school year and
actare q Judgment against the county

the bank there has agreed to take
these judgments and pay the teach.

With many people taking cold
is a habit, but fortunately one
that is easily broken. Take a
cold sponge bath every morning
when you first get out of bed
not ice cold, but a temperature
of about 80 degrees F. Also
sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take
cold. When you do take cold

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hair! Get a 25 cent bottle
of Danderine right now-Also
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp: of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's s
Danderine from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it if you will just try little Dan
derine. Save your natr! Try it.!
