American Ethical Union, small band of musicians went the rounds and in the mire or on the road or on the steps, played the old folk tunes as lyrical prelude to the great day. To some of the an- tique ballad airs, like Good King Wenceshaus,' says MT Cubb, the singers would add hymn tune or two-"Once in David's Royal City, or "Hark, the Herald An gels Sing" "Punctuating the bus tie of domc-tic preparation for the coming feast, these ministrations in the still night gave breath of poetry that touched the spirit of Christmas with an endearing beau ty Day by day the tide of joyous anticipation rose until the cres- cendo broke into fcrte of exub- erance"

About Old Santa Claus,
 Children'S Patron Saint

The dictionary merely tells you that Santa Claus is a contraction of Saint Nicholas (see Nicholas, Saint. A turning of the pages reveals that Nicholas was bishop of Myra or Smyrna in Asia Minor about 300 AID. He was the patron saint of old Russia and was be- lieved to offer special protection and comfort to sea -faring men, thieves, virgins and children" Ills affection for children was based on the assertion that he brought back to life three schoolboys who had been murdered. An encyclopedia attributes the name by which he is known in America to the early Dutch settlers who called him San Nicolaas.
 But it little matters whether he be known as Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus, Kris Kringle, or a dozen other names, for the presence of his spirit on this climax holiday of the year is the important thing. It enters every home in the four corners of Christendom and touch es the hearts of all the men and women in them. Moreover, it is essentially the spirit of childhood. the freshness, the courage, and the eagerness of young lives. Saint Nicholas may seem old, but he has none of the fears, regrets or pre- judices of age. He and his chil- dren stand on the threshold of the world. Their banner is good will and their goal is peace.
 So this day. dedicated to the memory of the birth of a child, belongs to all children. It is their carols, their laughter, their happiness which makes its sweet. ] Arsd we older folk should on this day at least share their kindliness, their tolerance, their purity and their Saint Nicholas.-The Boston Herald.

The Christmas CarOlers

Here come the Carolers.v ;

Here come the Carolers."
 So it used to be. Young faces pressed against the windowpane, straining to hear the cheerful carols outside. Perhaps it was the story of the Christ child put to tune on a ballad of love and cheer When the singers were done the householder invited them in for a bite and sup or gave them a coin or two for their song.
 Then on to the next house, to sing again under the stars, or yelled behind sifted snow.
 And then in the early morning, home again to their own firesides.
 It was a good old custom, this midnight minstrelsy in the season of peace and goodwill. With the beginning of Yuletide twelve days before Christmas day, as Percival Chubb tells us in the Standard, published in New York by the

Christmas morning dawne% cold and clear. Over field and farm house and winding roads, was a snowy blanket.
 Good Christmas weather" said Jared Pigeon, as he stamped in from the post office, and thumped a bundle of letters on the kitchen table. He was regarding his wife from watchful eye, for he had noted a letter from Caroline, their daughter.
 Jared went out to his car to bring in the Christmas packages. He saw his wife's pretty, wrinkled face bent over a long letter in Caroline'S handwriting, as he clos ed the door. Of course it was natural for their only child to desire other friends-and it would be pokey indeed to come home to eat Christmas dinner with two old people! And there was Billy Wakeman, too. She used to go around with Billy. Now they had quarreled and Billy was very grave and grown-up in the conduct of his public garage. He had a good mind to go down and ask Billy to come and eat Christmas dinner with them-Billy had no folks of his own.
 Forgetting all about the Christ mas packages in the back of his sleigh-Mr Pigeon jumped in and, turning around in the hard way he had dug out of the snow, went tinkling out of the yard and down the road toward the large garage and oil and gas station that Billy Wakeman had built on the main road.
 Hello, MT. Pigeon" said Billy Merry Christmas"

 Mother Pigeon, running up and cown stairs, was very busy-set- ting the table with all their best china. There was delicious warmth up here in Caroline's room
 Then, when everything was al- most ready, when Mrs Pigeon ir her best black silk, and new cap with a tiny violet bow on her lovely white hair, was entertain- ing Billy Wakeman, just as a mother cares for her own beloved son just before it was time to sit down to that delicious dinner mysteriously set for four people though MT Pigeon knew mother always set a place for Caroline anyway-just then they heard the horn of the village stage.

Value in Identification.
The fourth fragment struck some
where in the cornfield in the soft earth,
they believed, but it was not found.
The scientific value of the meteorite
fragments probably will be in their
definite 1ndentif1cation with the perseids.
There is no record of a perseid ever
previously falling to the earth's surface.
Prof. E. S. Haynes, astronomer at the
University of Missouri said the frag-
mentS probably were outr1derS OF the
Perseid stream.
THE fragments should have been
cold, as they WERE" the professor said,
rather than hot, as would be the COM
mon assumption. In their Spacial wan
dering they take on the intense cold of
space. Then when they en-
ter the atmosphere, friction with the
air heats the outer shell to incandes
cence. But their terrific speed and the
short time they are in the air do not
give friction time enough to heat the
body through.
Hence when they strike the earth
they cool very quickly from the internal
cold The black surface described by the
Christensen brothers is the oxidation
of that intense heat on the shell. They
probably will find the interior of the
fragment untouched by heat"
The professors assumption was cor
rect The brothers broke off a tiny
fragment of the one-half pound visitor
and found it to have the general color
of concrete, with a myriad of tiny
sparkling points. Using sharp instru-
ment they scraped the black surface and
found the structure of the fragment
Streaked with bright metal. That would
seem to identify the fragments as COM
posed of nickel and iron.

EARTH IS PLUNGED

Annual Display of Perseids to
Continue Tonight and
Tomorrow Night.
The earth plunged into a shower of

The earth plunged into a shower of
shooting stars last night.
After midnight, with the moon below
the horizon and the sky clear of clouds,
the annual display of the Perseids was
at its best The display will continue
tonight, and another night may elapSe
before the earth is entirely through the
enormous elliptical belt of star dust
into which it runs every August
Last night it was in the thickest part
of the belt. Stars fell at the rate of 20
or 80 an hour. These meteors, most of
them no bigger than grains of wheat,
catch on fire from friction when they
enter the earths atmosphere and are
rapidly consumed. Some may be as
big as large boulders, and these have
a chance of striking the earth, but the
probabilities of their doing so are very
slight
DR.. Otto Struve of Yerkes ObServa-
tory said the display was more clearly
visible this morning than last year,
when the average number of shooting
stars" was a little better than one
each minute.
But the PerseidS are not really
shooting stars" They are merely par
ticles of cosmic dust heated until they
glow by friction of the earth's at
mosphere. The particles were left by
Tuttles Comet about a hundred years
ago The comet itself has not been
seen since 1862.

caused them to look upward quickly.
They saw few puffs of smoke. They
heard the weird whistle of a proiectile

to the table when Judy and
Stan returned to the dining
L room.
Judy found herself between
Stan and his mother. She sat there,
fighting shyneSs and feeling a little
forlorn. 1t was, as she thought upstairs,
quite apparent that Stan had returned
to his old life, life which left his
young wife hesitating on the outside
These people-Stan's family-were
making an effort to be nice to her, but
it was evident that it was an effort.
Let's see-Stan met you at college,

began eagerly. But Mrs. Carriers atten-
ton had wandered. Amy she called
across the table, why don't you have
narciSSuS on the table when you give
your bridge luncheon? These are very
nice ones Rogers sent up today, and
they make lovely center bowls.
1t wasn't that they meant to be un-
kind, Judy told herself, crushing down
the sudden resentment which rose in
patronizing. She was Just outside OF
their lives. Time would take care OF
that.
Even Stan was different In Summer
field she had been wrapped in the
thrilling glamour of his love. On the
long trip across the country there had
Just been the two of them in delightful
little tete-a-tete dinners in the diner;
the two of them thrillingly isolated in
the small drawing room. But Stan was
swallowed now in that old life-that
life of Lockwood, in which she had no
share.
She sat with a little mechanical smile
of bright interest stamped on her lips,
unaware of what she was eating, while
lively talk went back and forth about
her, talk of people she did not know,
of places she had never been.
