Edwin Booths
Christmas Gift
SsT REMEMBER a Christmas I spent
in Edwin Booths company many

6e REMEMBER Christmas spent
i in Edwin Booths company many
years ago" said the theatrical
manager. He had bought a summer
residence at Cos Cob, Conn, the pre-
vious summer and invited me up to
play Santa Claus and do the chimney
act. His property was a fair-siZed
little promontory of land bounded on
one side by the Connecticut river, on
the other side by Long Island sound.
and the New York and New Haven
tracks formed the base line. If there
Is any road affected by tramps it is
that same New Haven road, and when
j arrived, two or three days before
Christmas, there was n line of them
waiting their turn at the gate that re-
minded me of highly successful ad-
vance sale, one tramp near the gate
even Offering to sell his advanced po-
sition for 10 cents. Booth was much
worried about the dangerous-looking
fellows, and it struck me that a dog
would be highly appropriate as a gift.
l wired to a friend in New York. and
the day before Christmas the biggest
Siberian hound / ever saw was wait
ing at the little station for me- Booth
was tickled to death. and we managed
to chain that dog just inside the main
gate near the lodge, and then we shook
hands. 1t was an awful big dog, big
ger than a little donkey that arrived
on the next train with a gocart as a
present for Booths little daughter, Ed
wilma.
"Well. we fixed up the presents that
night. l dressed up in fur rugs and
traps as Santa Claus and had arranged
to drive the donkey into the reception
room and distribute the gifts from the
well-laden gOcart.
"The dog was to remain in the little
shed we had extemporized for him, but
he didn't. He was there on business,
and he attended TO it promptly. The
chain broke like piece of twine, and 1
broke for the balcony which l just
managed to reach from the cart. OF
course there was a racket, and i got
into the window, and by the time we
had armed ourselves with antique
swords and Revolutionary musket the
noise had subsided sufficiently for us to
venture forth.
"The dog was just seen in the moon
light disappearing over the stone wall,
hundreds of dollars worth of presents
were scattered in the deep snow, and
donkey meat and fur were an inch deep
all over the premises. Buffalo EX-

An Unexpected
Christmas Present

NNE Christmas day some years
" ago Almas temple of the Shrin-
ers of Washington gave its
annual dinner to the poor. 1t was a
well-planned affair, generously contrib
uted to, and turned out big success.
But the most notable thing about it
was not on the program and made the
hit of the occasion. Whenever mem
bers of the temple think of the celebra-
tion they chuckle over their unexpected
Christmas gift.
While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
$50 loaves of bread The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
jokes as he waddled about and took
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree. In the middle of one of his sto-
ries there entered another big, fat
Santa Claus, carrying a colossal bas-
ket full of bread, and behind him We're
three. or four negroes, also carrying
baskets of bread. One of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sent gift of bread to
be distributed and signed receipt for
the $50 loaves. In few minutes they
We're handed around to the heads of
families, and an additional smile of
Christmas joy went around everywhere
with them.
When the festivities were nearly over
and the crowd had begun to disperse
a man came running in and asked the
committeeman:
Ibid you get $50 loaves of bread?"
1--WE did" was the reply.
"What did you do with it?"
"Gave it away"
"Well that was an order for the
Carroll institute. IT came here by
mistake. But it is all right. We are
glad you gave it away, and if you need
more let us know" And the man went
away, evidently fully satisfied with the
incident.-New York Times.

That old Santa's tempers bad.
She must keep him in good humor.

Her Little Prayer.

little girl of big eastern city was
visiting her grandmother on Thanks
giving day. Already the child had be-
gun to speculateson what Santa Claus
was to bring her at Christmas time,
and, as children-especially girls-will
do when they are at the home of an in
dulgent friend, she began to rummage
through closets and drawers.
In the course of her investigation she
came upon brand new white muff.
1t was the very thing she had wanted,
and she knew that Santa Claus chief
purchasing agent-grandma-h OBJ
tained it for her.
Taxed with it. grandma admitted the
truth
"But." she said, "you must forget all
about it until Christmas day"
That night as she was being put to
bed the child astonished her mother by
adding this to her evening prayer:
please, God, make me forget all
about the little white muff Santa Claus
is to bring."-New York Times.

Christmas in Rome.

Christmas in Rome is a quiet and
solemn affair, with religion featured in
its observance. The observance begins
the day of Christmas, when the image
of the Christ Child is brought out, till
Jan. g, when it is again put in place.
St Peters is brilliantly Illuminated,
with myriads of candle lights iiickering
their significant tribute to the central
fact of the church's life. What ap-
peals to Italian art lovers is the gift
which is as usual as the feast. Every
child is presented with plaster cast
of the Nativity, and even in the phase
of the holiday which is joyful and es-
sentially merry" the underlying senti-
ment is always conception of the man
ger and the birth. There are family re-
unions and social festivities, but al
ways 1t Is the religious feature which
is most nificant.-Century.

Some Very Old Yule-
tide Celebrations
TT is certain that very early in the

Christian era Christmas was cele-
brated in Britain, mingling in its
festivities some of the winter festival
customs of the ancient Britons and the
Roman invaders, for traces of those
celebrations are still seen in some of
the Christmas customs of modern
times.
The ancient Goths and Saxons called
their festival Yule. Throughout the
middle ages and down to the Reforma-
ton the festival of Christmas engraft-
ed on the pagan rites of Yule continued
throughout Christendom to be univer
sally celebrated with every mark of
rejoicing. On the adoption of new
system of faith by most of the north
ern nations of Europe IN the sixteenth
century the Lutheran and Anglican
churches retained the celebration of
Christmas and other festivals, which
Calvinists rejected absolutely, denounc-
ing the observance of all such days, ex-
cept Sunday, as superstitiOus and un-
scriptural.
During the reign of Alfred the Great
law was passed in relation to holi-
days by virtue of which the twelve
days after the Nativity of our Savior
We're set apart for the celebration of
the Christmas festival. Some writer's
are of the opinion that but for Alfreds
strict observance of the full twelve
holy days" he would not have been de-
feated by the Danes in S7S, for it is
charged that his enjoyment of the fes-
tivities of Christmas hindered him
from preparation for the battle.
We find that in 961 King Edgar Gel
ebrated the Christmas festival with
great splendor at York, and in 1913
Ethelred kept his Christmas, with the
brave citizens of London who had de-
Tended the capital, with siege and
stoutly resisted Swegen, the tyrant
king of the Danes.
Edward the ConfesSor, 1t is noted.
| celebrated the first Christmas festival
of his coronation with great rejoicing.
and in 1906 on Christmas day William
| the Conqueror was crowned king of
England at Westminster. The Nor
man kings and mobiles who now be-
| came rulers of England displayed their
| taste for magnificence in the most re-
markable manner at their cOronations,
tournaments and their celebrations of
Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide.
AT the Christmas feast minstrels
| played on various musical instruments
during dinner and sang or told tales
afterward both in the hall and in the
chamber to which the king and his no
bles retired for amusement. Thus it
is written of a court minstrel:
Before the king he set him down
And took his harp of merry sound;
And as he full we'll can,
Many merry notes he began.
! In 1867 the Conqueror kept grand
! Christmas in London, having invited
number of the Saxon chiefs to par
ticipate, and also caused n proclama-
tion to be read in all the churches de-
! claring it to be his will that "all the
citizens of London should enjoy their
national laws as in the days of King
Edward"
In the hall the serf and vassal
| Held that night their Christmas wassail,
| Many a carol, old and sanity,
Sang the minstrels and the waits
