CHRISTMAS HYMN

Sing, Christmas bellxI
Say &c the earth this ia the morn
Wherein our Savior King is born;
Sing TO all men-the bond, the

The rich, the poor, the high, the low,
The little child that sports in xlee,
The aged folk that tottering GO
Proclaim the morn
That Christ is born,
That saveth them and ssvsth mel
Sing, angel hostl
Sing of the stars that God has placed
Above the manger in the east;
Sing of the glories of the night,
The Virgins sweet humility,
The Babe with kingIy robes be-
dight-
Sing to all men where'er they be
This Christmas morn,
For Christ is born,
That sxveth them and saveth mel

A Rough Appearing Man Tossing over
the Packages.

Med ran TO the window, drew a re-
volver from its case and presented it
In menacing view.
The intruder turned, dashed from
the room into the hall and disap-
peared. Valiantly triumphant Ned
went back to the parlor, for the first
moment noticing a small satchel lying
open on chair. 1t somewhat thrilled
him to observe Strengthening articles
Of steel within.
Burglars tools" whispered Ned,
fairly awed. "And here's a great big
wallet stuffed full of papers and bank
notes, and right across il is stamped
the name of Martin Brill in gilt letters.
Sayl This fellow must have robbed
the old man before he came here"
Half an hour later Ned stood in the
garden of the Brill home. Gazing into
the one lighted room OF the place he
saw Brill tied to a chair and striving
10 dislodge a gag in his mouth. He
was frantic; he tore his hair; incOher-
emily he babbled forth the visit of q
night marauder as Ned released him.

its owner.
"Oh Had, you've won my eternal graf

upon decorated framed portrait of
himself.
''Mr. Wade got the holly for that"
said Ned, "and your daughter trimmed |

Martin Brill sat staring at the Dor
trait, a dim mist crossing his ewes. /
Ned stole quietly from the room as be
heard footsteps on the front porch.

first Christmas eve he could remember
where peace on earth, good will to men

Left an orphan at eight. for five
years he had been the slave Of a miserly
old being. Then Victor Wade. a dis

taken Ned to their humble little home.
You have no children of your own
snd a blessing will come to you for
caring for this poor outcast," the viii
iage clergyman had told them, and in
deed his words had come true. He
nestled down into their hearts and
gave them an obedience and love.
And Ned as well shared the shadow
that lowered over their lives. Alice
was the only daughter of the richest
man in Brompton. She had married
Wade against the wishes Of Martin
Brill, who had from that hour shut
both of them out of his life.
He can't treat my dear, good mother
that way" declared Ned sturdily to
chum. "Some day I'm going to let
him know how mean he is to the best
two people who ever lived"
Mr.. and Mrs. Wade had gone to a
Christmas entertainment and Ned was
speeding homeward full of holiday
plans.

CHRISTMAS ONCE IS
CHRISTMAS STILL.

The silent skies are fun OF speech
For who hath ears to hear;
The winds are whispering each to each;
The moon is calling to the beach;
And stars their sacred wisdom teach
or Faith and Love and Fear.
But once the sky its silence broke.
And song o'erfowed the earth:
The midnight air with glory shook.
And angels mortal language spoke.
When God our human nature took
In Christ the Savor's birth
AND Christmas once is Christmas still
The gates through which he came,
And forest wild. and murmuring rill,
And fruitful field, and breezy hill,
And all that else the wide world I'LL,
Are vocal with his name.
Shall we not listen while they sing
This latest Christmas morn,
And music hear In everything,
And faithful lives in tribute bring
To the great song which greets the Kins
Who comes when Christ is bornf

SANTA CLAUS

Beyond the ocean many a mile,
And many a year ago,
There lived wonderful queer ois
In a wonderful house of snow;
And every little boy and girl,
As Christmas times arrive,
No doubt will be very glad to hear
The old man is still alive.
In his house upon the top of a hill,
And almost out of sight,
He keeps a great many elves at work,
Ali working with all their might
To make million of pretty things,
Cakes, sugar-pIums and toys,
To ELL the stockings, hung up, yeu

BY the little girls and boys.

because America, having an almost un-
limited number of men, was able to set
the military physical standards very
high and still get more soldiers than
she needed. The American army was
far away better physically than any
