SAINT OF VIRTUE AND PlETY
St. Niehoias Was Of UnbIemished Character, According to Hone's
 Ancient Mysteries"

ET CCORDING to HOne's Ancient E Mysteries" Saint Nicholas, bish-
 op Of Myra, was a saint of great virtue and plety. The old legend Is that the sons of a rich AsiatiC, or their way to Athens for education, were slain by rObber innkeeper. dis. membered and their parts hidden in a brine tub. In the morning came the saint, whose visions had warned him of the crime, whose authority forced con fesslOn, and whose prayers restored the boys to life.
 St. Nicholas Is the grand patron of the children of France, to whom he brings bonbons for the good, but a cane for the naughty child. In Ger many he acts as an advance courier examining Into the conduct of the children, distributing goodies and promises to those with good records, a further reward which the Christ Child brings at Christmas time. But his own peculiar celebration takes place in a tiny seaport in southern Italy,
 On St. Nicholas day, December 6 the sailors of the port take the saints image from the beautiful Church of St. Nicholas, and with a long proces- sion of boats carry 1t far out to sea Returning with 1t at nlghtfall they arc met by bonfres, torches, all the towns people and hundreds of quaintly dressed pilgrims, who welcome the re. turning saint with songs and carry hin to visit one shrine after another, be fore returning him to the custody Of the canOns.

The Christmas
 Spirit

Hy FTER year of strife and con H fusion the world is about 10 de
 clare an armistice for the observ. ance of Christmas. It Is curious how the essence of Christianity gets Itself recognized and practiced in spite ot the world, the flesh and the devil.
 In this time of good will everybody becomes Christian. for Christmas Is simply the substitution of the spirit of giving for the spirit of getting.
 When Jesus was born in Bethlehem there came to the world a new con ceptlOn of God and of his relations with man. The Child lying in ih' Bethlehem manager will forever sym bolize and express the wOrId-moving truth that God Is love and, therefore, He gives Himself to and for men made in Ills image.
 Tradition records that when the Wise Men from the East jouneyed to Bethlehem to worship the newborn Child, they brought gifts.
 The gift of God Is life eternal, here and hereafter. When this divine spark anImates the bosOms of men, they, too begin to give.
 Giving is the chief business of life for God and men alike. What a man gives he has. He loses all else. Earth. ly immortality Hes in whatever one gives to ones fellows in service and friendship and healing.
 wonder if we shall ever be able to practice the Christmas spirit the year round
 If that time ever comes we shall find that most of our personal and so. clal problems, perplexities, auimOsities and failures are unnecessary. If we want spring and summer and golden harvest, we must have the sun.-Dr Charles Aubrey Eaton in l.eslie'S. -sTrTgRsF S5;SIfz,s' 45IIt9 5I9 sSS

 born shortly before Christmas of P 1918. was put away in box after Christmas and the next year came forth again, and the price put upon me had risen from two cents to Ave.
 The next year I cost ten cents. Still l did not sell.
 "WeVl have to charge a quarter for that card" my owner said, "and get up the prices Of some of these others, or they won't be bought"
 So I was a quarter. And then cost 50 cents and was purchased.
 The price mark has been left on me. I've been travelling with 1t written on my back ever since. Sometimes, too, l get around to a number of places around Christmas time, especially If I'm started ofr early in the first place.
 So far, too, I've been greeted with joy. and an exclamation do not quite understand.
 "Oh. good! Here's a card which Is marked fifty cents. Who would believe it possible. but no matter, It did! And it's not written on, either"

A man walked into the Sunset Motor Company salesrOOms on Fri day. last, to ask the price of Cad lilac auto car with trimmings. The car was priced at $55OO, and the trimmings, which included spot liz extra tires, chains. etc., amounted to $500.
 What will you have" said the Northeruer, Cash or check?" The startled salesman stammered "cash, " and the man dug down in a belt and pulled forth $7O,OOO in cur reucy and negotiable paper.
 Just deliver the car to the Ho- tel Washington tomorrow morning, and say, continued the buyer, send "a good trustworthy chauffeur along -one who is willing to go with the car as far as Mexico and return"
 The buyer was William Green Alaska mining man. who arrived on the Victoria. He is going to th, oil fields of Mexico accompanied by Mrs. Green.
 Incidentally a salesman on the floor of the Sunset Motor Company picked a bonus of five per cent on $G1OO on the sale-not bad Christmas for the wife and kiddies. Green will be back in Seattle to go to the Cold Bay oil fields early next summer.
