AT AN IRISH CRIB.

Foreninst the crib there kneels a
little child,
Behind him in her ragged shawl
his mother,
For all the ages that have passed
one child
Still finds God in another.
Now, look-a how he wonders when
he sees
The shepherds with their lambs
beside the manger.
The cattle, poor dumb creatures,
looking down
Upon the little stranger.
An there's our Savior lying in the
hay,
Behind Him In her shawl his
watchful mother;
Two mothers with their Sons--each
know the joys
And sorrows OF the other.
The father kneels away There by
the door,
The hands she clasps In prayer
are rough with labor;
The likes Of him that hunger and
that toll
Once called St. Joseph's neighbor.
Outside the church the people travel
by.
The sick and sad, the needy, the
neglected.
But just across the threshold Beth
lehem Hes,
Where none will be rejected

CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS.

Christmas stockings have come
down to us from the good st.
Nicholas, who was saint Of the
fourth century of the Christian era
and was born December 6, 342, in
Lycaa, Asia Minor. He was regard
ed as especially the PATRON saint of
children, young girls and sailors.
The Christmas stocking custom
arose as follows:
1t seems that st. Nicholas, who
was the Archbishop Of Myra. lived
in the same town with an impover-
ished nobleman who berause he had
no portions to give his daughters.
and indeed no means with which to
support them. was about to sell
them into a life of sin. st. Nicholas,
who was accustomed to d'spense his
large fortune in gifts of charity. re-
solved TO rescue the young women.
As he approached their houne won
dering how he should proceed. the
moon shone out and Displayed an
omen window Instantly st. Nicho-
las threw a nurse Of gold In at Che
window, which, falling at the feet
Of the father OF the GIRLS. enabled
him to rlortion his oldest DAUGHTER.
The second time st. Nicholas visited
the house he also was able to throw
nurse OF gold through an open
widow. THUS providing for the pnr-
Ron. of the second daughter On the
third visit the father. watching for
his benetactor, cast himself at the
feet of the saint and cried:
"Oh, st. Nicholas. servant of Cod
whv seek to hide thyself?"
The saint made the father prom
'ae not to reveal his benetactions.
From this habit OF bestowing gifts
In r,ecret and under the cloak of
NIGHT arose the practice OF putting
out shoes or STOCKINGS for the
younger members OF the family, 80
that the good saint would be able
to ell them without being snied on.
At one time II was the custom for
young women pupils in converts on
HE even of Saint Nicholas to hang
their new silk STOCKINGS on the door
of the APARTMENT of the abbe-s. They
would also write notes calling the
attention OF the good St. Nicholas to
their stockings In the morning
when the convent pupils who had
not gone home for the hnl'davs
arose they invariably found their
filled with sweetmeats.

SERVES DOUBLE pURpos7.

OF cour,e It was to be expected
that the British press agents would
attribute the burning of the Liver
rool cotton warehouses to the Sim
Feiners and their sympathizers In
the big English port. This serves
a double purpose. First IL tends to
diycredtt Sim Fem in the eyer of
the world. and second, IL diverts at
tention from internal conditions in
England. which If they were fully
known would have the effect of
lowering still further the exchange
value of the pound sterling and
England's credit. Now we do not
hesitate to say that Sim Fem had
nothing whatever to do with the
big Liverpool fire. The property OF
Engl!shmen and Unionists in ma
tional'st Ireland has never at any
time been in danger from Sim Fem,
jos these TInionishs themselves tes-
tify. Indeed the destruction of
property In Ireland seems to be the
prerogative of the British garrison,
which have already given to the
flames over a hundred creameries
and factories outside OF Ulster, A
fine record for the forces of Law
and Order" isn't It? The Liverpool
catastrophe therefore must have
some other source than Sim Fem
The point that the British press
agents took good care to ignore was
that for three months the cotton
spinners of Liverpool and Manchee-
ter have been out of work through
the closing, while the mill owners
have been profiteering on the stock
of cotton textiles which they had on
hand, and incidentally using the
shut down of the mills to disrupt
the unionH. These mill hands have
made no secret OF their Bolshevik
principles. and the arrest and SEN
fencing to long term of imprison-
ment of Col. Malone, an English
member of Parliament, because of
q Bolshevik speech he hade during
his campaign for a seat in the
House of Commons, has not served
to allay the unrest of the mfllwork-
ers. Bolshevism has obtained very
strong foothold in England. hence It
may not be unreasonable to suppose
that II the Liverpool fire was not
due to accident, II had It's origin In
the despair and suffering OF the un-
fortunate victims OF the mill own
ers' greed for usurious proflts-the
men OF the Bolshevik faith among
the millworkers. At any rate. one
thing Is reasonably certain. and that
is that Sinn Fem had nothing to do
with the big Liverpool fire.
