HONOR POETS MEMORY.

New York, Dec. 25.-It was one
hundred years ago today when the
children of Clement Clarke Moore
first heard their father recite his new
poem about the "Visit of st. Nicho-
las"
"Twas the Night Before Christ
mas" he began his verse, and for
nearly 100 years these opening lines
and those which follow have been ia
miliar in many languages to every
child to whom the white whiskered
saint is known.
But Mr.. Moore, immersed in his
study of Biblical lore, whirh he was
teaching at the general theological
seminary, thought the poem foolish
and unworthy, and il was not until
1914 that il was ever published.
On Sunday many thousands Of chill
dren recited it, and more than 1000
children, carrying lanterns and sing
ing Christmas carols, marched from
the Chapel of the Intercession into
Trinity churchyard at Broadway and
156th street, to lay wreaths on the
poets grave.
A church window to honor st. Mich
olas will be placed in the Chapel Of
the lntercession, to mark the lVOth
anniversary of the writing of Mr..
Moore's poem, which has thrilled the
imaginations of generations OF chill
dren.

money to spend. That they are spend

innate of Christmas buying in Chica-

lion dollars-eighty million in the
loop district and twenty million in the
outlaying stores.
The vast sum, greater by 60 per
cent than any previous year, went for
presents, food and holiday inciden-
tails.
More than 100 900 dinners and tons
of clothing and necessities were given
by various societies and individuals to
persons unable to provide for them
selves. The Tribune Good Fellow Club,
S.6l0 visited 1905 fami-
lies, leaving blankets, overcoats, shoes

dinners. The same organization vis-
tied 1880 children in the poorer dis
