SONGS That Awaken Memories.

Very many years ago a. wise man.
called Fletcher of Saltoun, said that
II he were permitted to write the
songs for people he would not care
who made their laws, and the senti-
ment has gone echoing along the cor
ridors Of time.
But although we do. not know the
names Of our song writer's, says the
New York Herald, the songs them
selves make an impression on our
minds that remains long after they
have become trite and passed into
oblivion. There is not one Of them.

LEGEND aoF CHRISTMAS ROSE
: Story Merely Beautiful imagery. but
sesr BeautifuE Flower Really Does
SaSSs Bloom in Winter.

There Is much beauty and path0s
In the legend of the Christmas rose,
which comes down to us by way
OF both Italy and England. 1t
concerns little girl-Madelon. a flow
er seller, according to the English ver-
sion; a shepherds daughter, accord
ing to Italian sources. She desired
TO see the strange little king and fol-
lowed the shepherds to Bethlehem,
1oot-sore and weary. "But she for
got all her trouble in the Joy OF see
ing the mother and the child" says
Mr.. Jackson. "She stood entranced
by the sight. She say the rich gifts
the wise men had brought. She saw
the humble gifts Of the shepherds.
the loaf of barley bread, the home
made cheese, the fleece of a lamb,
white and soft, At to wrap around the
baby's limbs this cold winter night.
She was seized by childhood's native
spirit of generosity. She, too, must
give Of her best. The best she ever
had 10 give was flowers. But there
are no flowers now, for 1t is winter,
nor has she farthing Of money with
which to buy anything else. She
looked down at her little sun-browned
hands, and a great sob arose in her
throat. To have the impulse Of love,
without the means Of expressing 1t, Is
real pain, and MadelOn burst into
tears. Her tears brought an Instant
response from the Guardian Angel Ga
briel, who took her by the hand and
touched the ground with his stick,
when, 10, rich flowers sprang up on
y every side. Yes, there really are
Christmas roses. They bloom in mid
winter, under blanket Of snow, and
their petals never wither. 1t is true,
only the legend tells it in the form Of
poetry, that is ALL"

things, or teaches how they may be
done. or describes them with a suit
able majesty when they have been

which tend to render life more happy,
which increase the innocent enjoy

which pave the way to state Of fu-
tire bliss more permanent and more
pure.

! Famous Old Town Of Mossl,

The town of Mosul reached it,
greatest prosperity toward the begin-
ming Of the decline of the caliphate
when 1t was for time an independent
capital. In the eleventh century It be
longed to the Seljuks and In the
twelfth, under the sway Of the famous
Atabegs. particularly Of Zenki, it had
Q short period Of splendor. One Of Its
curious distinctions In history is the
fact that the governorship of the
town. as the pashalik. was long hered-
itary In the originally Christian fam.
lily Of Abd-al-jalil. and 1t was only dur.
Ing the nineteenth century that the
porte succeeded, after long and &c

Failure of Defendants to Appear for
Trial Arouses Judge
Mcmahon.

Failure OF bondsmen TO have de-
PENDANTS charged with violating the
zone law in court when their cases
are called. thus delaying the efforts
of the court to clear the docket of the
large number of these cases, TODAY
caused Judge Mcmahon in the United
States branch of the Police Court to
give notice that in the future where
bondsmen fail to produce defendants
when called he will forfeit the. bonds.
which run from $500 to $4,000.
At the same time Judge McMaha n
said that he would fine for contempt
of court all attorneys who failed to
appear when such cases are called
or where cases have been set for
hearing from time TO time and the
attorney is not ready for trial. These
two factors have been the cause OF
delays in many of the bootiegging

There was one conviction and one
acquittal of defendants charged with
