HER PHILOSOPHY Of LIFE
Lesson Seen for the Weary World In
the lnVariable Ending of Little
Three-Year-Old's Stories.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly
described, some months ago, a little
person of some three years who was
insatiably fond Of stories. When there
was no one to tell them to her she
made them up herself. The writer
was impressed with the invariable end
ing of these stories, which was al
ways. "And him went home to him's
muwti, Bears, lions, tigers. even
elephants and crocodiles pass through
the most agitating and unusual odven-
ture, but in the end they all go home
10 their mother" And the writer adds
that this is an astonishing bit of wis
dom to be evolved by person of
three.
There have been many pretentious
PHILOSOPHERS Of life offered us these
last few years, and It may take some
of us no little time to come down to
one so modest. But the signs are
thickening fast that the whole world,
disappointed with its grand policies
and enfeebled with its philosophers, Is
beginning to long for something like
this. It may be a blow to ones pride,
but the greatest philosophy of life has
long since been stated "When he
came to himself he said, l will arise
and go to my father. The Sunday
School Times.

A certain lodger, whose butter dis
appeared in the most mysterious and
appalling manner, contFved to stop
the business by adopting rather In
genious and original plan. Whenever
he had finished with the Wand he
stamped the end with reglmental
button which he had, and for a time
all was well, says London Tit-Bits.
One night, however, he thought the
roll looked rather shorter than when
he left it, and yet the impression of a
button was there right enough.
Then summoning his landlady, he
said:
This is not my butter, Mrs. Scott" J"
ooh, yes, it is, Mr.. Wild; there's the
mark Of the button on It"
"Just so, Mrs. Scott; but bless me,
this button belongs to quite a differ
ent regiment from mine. Yours be-
longs to the r. A. f.; mine to the r.
A.. M. c."

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 a new
system Of faith by Iiost 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-

days after the Nativity of our Savior
were set apart for the celebration of
the Christmas festival. Some writer's
are Of the opinion that but for Alfred's
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 cell
ebrated the Christmas festival with
great splendor ut York, and in 1913
Ethelrec kept his Christmas, with the
brave citizens of London who had de-
Tended the capital, with q siege and
stoutly resisted Swegen, the tyrant
king of the Danes.
Edward the Confessor, II is noted,
celebrated the first Christmas festival
of his coronation with great rejoicing,
and in 1866 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

Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide.

But that great factor in the events

many persons have responded to

they discover attempts to hamper
