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 rlnds 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 disreputable
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.

"A Visit From
St. Nicholas"

UTHAT is the best known poem In
" the world? Not Gray's "Ele-
gy," nor The Song of the
Shirt" nor THE Raven" but THE
Night Before Christmas" The author
is not so well known as his poem.
One recent Christmas the name Of
Clement Clarke Moore was honored as
never before. Above his grave In the
chapel OF Holy Trinity cemetery. New
York. the choir boys sang carols ON the
night before Christmas, and service
of light was held. This beautiful cere-
monial starts with procession of
tOrchbearers whose torches are kindled
from the leaders flame, and us the line
winds through the graveyard the fire
is passed back from one To another I'M
til the lights grow in number and dis
pei the surrounding darkness.
The father of Clement Clarke Moore
was once the bishop of New York.
"The Night Before Christmas" was
published originally without the au-
thOr's knowledge in the Troy Sentinel
two days before Christmas, 1923.
Moore had written it the preceding
Christmas just for the delight Of his
own children, but It's circulation slip
ped beyond the family circle. and an
unknown frieAd sent it for publication.
The Sentinel readers paid no attention
to it, and it passed without comment
until seven years later, fVhen the same
paper reprinted 1t. Tie second recep-
ton was very different from the first.
"A Visit From st. Nicholas" as 1t was
then entitled, was copied broadcast,
and its author awOke to find his work,
If not himself, famous.
Although Clement Clarke Moore was
educated for the ministry, he never
took orders. For the greater part OF
his life he was identified with the New
York General Theological seminary,
being professor of Biblical learning
and Greek and later of oriental Ian
guages.
Clement MOore's family life had many
sorrows. His wife died at the early
age of thirty-five, and the two little
daughters, for whom he wrote "The
Night Before Christmas" both died in
their childhood. His son and name
sake lived to the age of sixty-eight and
is buried in the family plot.
When "The Night Before Christmas"
was first published in the Troy Senti-
mel the editor wrote:

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.

A Lesson In
Christmas Spirit

1t was the day before Christmas last
year. All my shopping had been done
(Or SO thOught) when I suddenly re-
membered hearing my eldest son,
lad Of eight years, say, "Oh, hope
Santa will bring me harmOnicon this
Christmas" says writer in the New
York Evening Sun,
OF course could not disregard such
a wish, and, although it was raining,
put on my storm coat and rubbers and
with umbrella in hand started out for
one Of our large department stores.
On arriving at the counter where this
particular article was displayed
found every one so busy could not
get attention for some time, and while
waiting my turn noticed two sadly
neglected looking little boys of about
six and eight years respectively stand
ing very close to the counter and look
ing. oh. so lOngingly at these same har-
mOnicOns, when suddenly one of the
young Saleswomen turned sharply
around and In a loud voice said, "Now,
then. IL you two boys don't get away
from here at once I'll call the floor
walker and have you arrested" At the
time this sudden attack was made upon
these poor little waits l was holding
in my hands two Of these same mu-
steal instruments, trying to decide
which Of the two kinds would take.
The larger one of the boys looked up
at me with frightened look, as If to
say. "Oh, we didn't mean to steal any
thing" when I said, Boys, would you

woman, saying. II will pay for them,"
when noticed the tears in her eyes.

said, "Oh. madam, am so sorry

Perhaps. too, they win sing what is
said TO be- the earliest known Christ
mas carol. dating from the AnglO-NOr-
man days Of the thirteenth century,
which begins:
LordIiHgs, listen to our lay
We hare come from far array
To seek Christmas
In this mansion zoe are told
He his yearly feGsts doth hold;
'Tis today!
Aoy joy come from God above
To all those tCho Christmas Lore.
This carol ends with the toast OF
those days:
Here, then, bid you all wassail,
cursed be he who will not say drink
hail" WassaiT" meaning your health
and ''drinkhail" being the usual and
courteous acknowledgment.
One Of the best known of all the old
carols, although not one of the oldest,
was written by Nahum Tate in 1903
and is called the "Song of the Angels"
1t begins:
While shepherds t0Gtched their fockS
by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came dotOn
And glory shone around.
Many are the carols in which Brit
aims ancient holly figures. "Then
drink to the holly berry" pledges one
writer of songs, while another in "Un-
der the Holy Bough" summons "All ye
who have scorned each other or injur-
ed friend or brother, come gather here.
And then there's that grand old hymn
"Adeste Fideles," sung in every church
in this land and In others, at this
Christmas season:
on, come, all Ve faithful,
joyful and triumphant!
Come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem!
Christmas would not be Christmas.
of course, if the waits" were to neg
lect one other of the most beautiful Of
old carols:
Holy night, peaceful night
Through the darkness beams q light
Holy night, peaceful night!
Through the darkness beams q H0htI

Ger the babe toho, in silent sleep,
Rests in heavenly peace,

or even the modern and much adver-
