The Three
Wise Men

NNE Christmas mystery remains
~ unsolved. Who were the wise
men of the East-the magi who
followed the star of Bethlehem from
afar to do homage to the newborn
Saviour?
1t is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received at court
by King Herod and that they carried
gifts of value that they were in their
own country men of royalty or close
to it. Herod evidently deemed it well
to treat them with Difference, for dis
quieted though he was to lead them to
the birthplace of the Redeemer he dis
semblel and told them that when they
had found the new born he would re-
turn to worship with them.
Much of our information about the
early days of the Christian era comes
from the monks of the fourteenth CEN
fury, who delved deeply into historical
sources since lost to the world. Their
story Of the three wise men has re-
ceiyed wide credence. According to
these monks, the wise men were three
SACd( LIE SoA4CN OdOPdA WCANAO4A
and Balthasar. Caspar was the oldest
aad from the North. At the time Of
the birth Of Christ he was sixty years
old, and for more than twO-thirds of
that time he had ruled in Arabia,
BalthaSar was black, q native of Saba,
from the East, and forty years old.
The youngest was Melchoir, from the
South, whose country was Tarshish.
He was twenty years old.
Impelled by some mysterious power,
they dropped all the cares of the state
and followed a single star thirteen
days and nights, without eating or
sleeping, till it led them to Jerusalem.
Then the story follows that of the
Bible until they returned to their own
countries.
The story does not stop here. 1t tells
Enthusiastically the after life Of the
three wise men. The good Apostle ST.
Thomas journeyed to their country and
baptized them, and all three went ouS
to preach the doctrine Of the Christ.
They were slain by barbarous gen,
tiles, and later the Empress Helena
mother Of Constantine, recovered the1.
sacred bones and took them to Cor,
stantinople. Thence they were CARRIE
to Milan and finally found an ultimat:
resting place in Cologne, where the
! now are.-New York Post.

The Mothers
Christmas Gift

It never comes to Christmas but |
think about the times
We used TO save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes,
And we punched them all together,
even little baby brother
Putin Omethingforthe present that
we always gave to mother.
We began to talk about it very early
in December,
Twas a very serious matter to us
children, | remember,
And we used to whisper nightly our
suggestions to each other,
For by nothing cheap and tawdry
could we show our love for
mother.
Hers must be a gift Of beauty, fit to
symbolic her ways;
Il must represent the sweetness and
the love that marked herdays.
It must be the best our money, all
combined, had power to buy,
And be something that she IOnged
for ;nOthing else would satisfy.
Then it matterednOt the token, once
the purchase had been made.
1t was struggled home and hidden
and with other treasures laid,
And we placed our present proudly
in her lap on Christmas day,
And we smOthered her with kisses
and we laughedhe tears away.
1t never comes to Christmas but
think about the times
I'VE used to save our pennies and
our nickelS and our dimes,
And the only folks / envy are the
sisters and the brothers
Who still have thepreciOus privilege
Of buying for their mothers.

The Leap, of the Black Bass.

The leap of the black bass is always
directly upward when hooked, and he,
generally falls tail first into the water.
At times, however, this fish, like the
trout, will rise vigorously to the fly
and, missing it, will make a graceful
curve in the air ere he goes quietly
head down back to his element. But
as a rule the bass rises fercely to the
fly with an accurate aim, and goes
instantly to his lair.-Au Outdoors.
