CHRISTMAS COMES
Everybody, Especially Parents,
Know What 1t Is.
Look Ahead and Save for Months to
Provide Pleasure and Happiness
for Riddles.

YOU know what Christmas Is, says
Eugene Wood, in the Delineator.
In manner of speaking, it is kind
of Sunday. Six days Of the week
the ideal set before you is to have
The alarm clock wake you; to gobble
down your breakfast before you are
thoroughly reused; to rush to the shop
and get your overalls on before the
whistle gets done blowing OF to be
locked an hours time; to work like
u mailer till noon, when you look INTO
your dinner-pail to see what the OLD
lady has put up there for you, and
warm your coffee on the steampipe /;
to begrudge the time for that lunch
con; to lick into your work again till
six o'clock, with the foreman saunter-
ing up and down, watching that you
don't take too many drinks of water.
or get a chip in your eye too often, or
gas too much with the man next you +;
to get home SO tired that you fall
asleep reading the newspaper after
supper-the same thing over again to-
morrow and the next day and the next
day and the next day, all your life
long That's business.
But Christmas comes along. You
tell your little ones that awful whop-
per about Santa Claus and his rein
deer, and they, to whom you are the
pattern of truthfulness, stand and lis
ten to you with their jaws hanging
hot Hl-, h nd
boiled eggs with the shells off. And
the older ones aid and abet you in the
deceit, and help the little ones COM
pose their sprawling letter to old
Santa, asking for dolls and skates, and
choo-choo cars and all such extrava
gances, when you ought to be saving
up your money against q rainy day
And you skimp yourself of necessary
| food to buy these follies, and sit uI
nights wasting your strength for the
next day (Which really doesn't belong
| to you, since your boss buys it anG
pays for it), and when IL O'Clock
Christmas eve, comes, and you ge
down from the chair, having hung W
the last gilt ball or glass peacock. yol
| are so tuckered you can hardly stand
But you turn out the gas and light thu
candles to see how.pretty it all looks
| and your wife says: Wont she bt
| tickled at this! And won't he jumI
for joy when he sees that!" and yol
| Put your arm around her. and tn,

SHELLS USED AS CURRENCY
Probably the Earliest Form Of None,
of Which There Is Any Real
knowledge.

The earliest tribes did not need
money because no individual in the
tribe owned anything personally. All
property belonged to the tribe as a
whole and none to any one person
Later on when the tribes met there
arose the custom of barter or trade,
the simplest form Of which was the
exchange Of articles possessed by one
tribe for those owned by another. For
instance, some Of the Australian tribes
had a rough green stone which was
valuable for making hatchetA Mem.
bers OF another tribe, seeing these
green stone hatchets naturally wanted
them. They had no money, as We
know 1t today, but they had red ochra
with which they painted their bodies,
Thus 1t developed that the tribe own.
Ing the green stones wanted some red
ochre, and each article became kind
OF money-each became valuable for
trading purposes.
1t was necessary, however, K
await the developments Of unit Of
value before money became elastic.
It required something valuable ia the
eyes Of these tribes. One Of the
earliest forms of this elastic money
was shells. The skins of animals were
long used by savage tribes as money.
but these could not be carried about
like shells The skins, however. were
valuable in trading and fortunes were

Poem Had Origin In Actual Life. q
The famous poem about the boy who
stood on the burning deck had its
origin in an actual happening which
constitutes a page in history.
It was during Napoleon's expedition
to Egypt that England sent Lord Mel
son to capture him and annihilate his
feet. At the battle Of Abukir the
French navy was crushed and Ma
poleon was forced to fee, all but four
Of his ships being sunk, burned or cap
tured.
The French admiral had been killed.
And on the deck Of the flagship stood
her captain, Louis Casabianca. who
then had command Of the feet. He
was wounded ana the ship was burn
ing, but he refused to leave his post.
Ana n spite Of commands and en-
treaties, his son, boy Of ten. stayed
with him ana died with him when the
ship Wsnt dawn. Supplying ~ theme

Little Earl, aged three, lived near a
certain college campus. and he was
much excited last fall over the foot
BAN games. One day he placede a foot
ban that had been given him be-
tween his sturdy legs and leaned over
it as he had seen the center do. Then
for moment he was .s;umped. He
knew that the players called out some
thing before the ball was put into.

All he could think Of was his Sunday

Believinq
In Santa

THF sons and daughters of men are
L Of two classes-not the rich or the
poor not the young Or the old, not
liberals or conservatives, nor even
Aristotelians or PlatoniSts. but those
who believe in Santa Claus and those
who do not.
Children are of the first and more
glorious family. Hence they grow;
hence they burst with life. They be-
lieve, and so have faith, that good
comes riding out of the air, with
jingling bells and prancing reindeer,
its pack crammed with gifts, its round
and smiling coachman breathing benev-
olence and cheerinesS and Fastening
to fulfill every wish that is dreamed
on dented pillow. Alas. when doubt
creeps in, when the eyes and ears OF
the spirit no longer see or hear and
demand comes for physical evidence,
then all the high faculties wither ana
pass away.
The walls of the prison house tend
to close around the growing child. He
credits the SANDER that there is no
Santa Claus. Poison enters into him
and he degenerates into an animal that
merely touches or tastes. Thrice
blessed are they who are able to keep
an imagination green and lusty and
to subdue or drive away all forces that
would throttle it. The rites of Christ
mas, after all. are mainly for the Old
folks, their observance representing
the instinct to keep alive the divine
spark of youth. A little one that no
longer petitions good st. Nick is sad
spectacle; even sadder is the man or
woman to whom his myth has lost its
SAVIOR. To such when the sun goes
down and the west fades the heavens
fill with no shining stars.
The period through which mankind
has passed has been marked by a
duel between those who hope and
those who despair-between those who
believe in Santa Claus and those who
| do not. Let US rejoice that the quiv-
\ ering balance is now definitely inclin-
| ing to the better side. Be young, be
/ forever young-never has the old text
| been more vindicated than in these
