IN addition to being the mouthpiece Of the
! Republican party. tie Era was also famous
for having published for the first time Uncle
Toms Cabin, or Life Among the Lowly." as
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe entitled it. AS to
the facts, people cared little. 1t a touching
story, and many an old Washingtonian will
recall how the tears rolled down his cheeks
when poor old Tom died. and particularly when
little Eva sang Uncle Tom. oh, make him free,
papa, promise this to me" Many no doubt
will recall seeing this piece performed at Odd
Fellows Hall on Seventh street, together with
'Ten Nights in a Bar Room" and similar
pieces, and also seeing there the Seven Sunder-
land Sisters Mr.. and Mrs Tom Thumb and
others.
Recently the writer found the first chapter
Of Uncle Toms Cabin" in the National Era
Of June 5, 1851 and the last one in the issue
Of April l, 1852. At this time Mrs Stowe had
but limited experience as a novelist and yet
she handled the subject with much skill and
cleverneSs, for she took into consideration its
circulation in the South, well in the
North, and for this reason she made her worst
and most odious character as imported from
the North. Hence. Simon Legree the wretch
who bought Uncle Tom at the sale of the
amiable New Orleans gentleman, who was un-
fortunately killed, from Vermont Haley,
the colored trader. who bought him at MT.
Shelbys sale, is made to talk like Northern
born man. while Mr.. Shelby, the good-natured
Kentucky gentleman, the original owner, was
forced to SELL rather was forced to submit
to a sale. and the New Orleans gentleman who
bought Uncle Tom of the trader was the en-
bodiment of honorable and amiabe qualities
Daniel r. Goodloe, who was at this time con-
nected with the Era many years later told how
this story was written. He said:
1T originated in this way. as DR.. Bailey in
formed me: Mrs. Stowe had written some
shorter stories for the Era, and at length, in
the Spring of 1851 the doctor sent her 500
in advance, with the request that she would
write another story. She began with Uncle
Toms Cabin. or Life Among the Lowly,' send
ing IN as much as one and half or two col
umns at time 1t soon took hold of the
Northern anti-slavery mind like fire in prairie
grass. and letters came pouring in in praise of
it, with the expression of the hope that it would
not soon be cut short. The doctor, of course
forwarded another hundred dollars, and an
other, and another, from time to time asking
the lady to write on and on. And thus it was
that the famous story came into being She

Vice President Speaks
The congress had an auspicious
beginning last night at its first
session, when Vice President Cur
tbs was the principal speaker.
Mr.. Curtis said, in part:
"I have great faith in the
present and future of our won
derful country. We never have
had greater and more resource
full men and women than we
have today, and am sure
they will change the present
times into prosperity. Men and
women working together, re-
;Gardless of party lines, are
bound to bring good results.
It has been gratifying to note
the cooperation in the Con-
gress to enact relief measures.
"The Republicans and the
Democrats have joined in sup
port of the recommendations
of President Herbert Hoover.
This course is deeply appre-
ciated and was to be expected
because in this country no
political party has monopoly
on loyalty and devotion to
country in times Of stress.

WashingtOn's advice to observe
good faith and justice toward

must be peace with honor;
peace not involving us in en-
tangIing alliances with other

The program began with a

Santa Claus Is such familiar figure that
everyone takes it for granted that he has always
looked just as know him now. But the fact
is that the Santa Claus know had his origin
in the word picture which Doctor Moore painted
in his immortal poem and from that resulted a
development in which two famous American
artists played an important part.
Doctor Moores poem was written in 1922, but
it was not until 1910 that the first portrait" of
Santa Claus printed. In a volume now very
scarce, of '"rhe Poets of America" edited by
John Reese Doctor Moore's "a Visit From St.
Nicholas" was ircluded and for the first time 1t
Illustrated with picture of good old ST.
Nick. 1t shows him as genial, bewhiskered old
fellow wearing cap in which is stuck tall
feather. What is perhaps most remarkable
fact about this portrait is that it shows him
smoking long slender pipe. But this is per-
fectly in keeping with Doctor Moore's original
conception, for Moore confessed that
certain portly, rubicund Dutchman living near
his fathers country seat, Chelsea, who was adj
dicted to pipe, was the original of his idea of
the st. Nicholas in his poem. The name of the
artist who drew this picture for keeses volume
is unknown so there is still vacancy in the
title of first portrait painter of Santa Claus"
But this unknown not only drew a portrait of
the jolly old patron saint Of Christmas but he
also showed him seated in his sled, driving his
team of reindeer.
The world had to wait another 20 years, how
ever, for another portrait of Santa Claus In
1852 an edition of "A Visit From St Nicholas"
illustrated throughout by F. o. G. barley, was
published in New York. barley gave us several
views of the old fellow at work. One In partcu-
lar was appropriate for it showed Santa Claus
placing his finger slyly to one side of his nose,
just as his biographer, Doctor Moore, had de,
scrbed.
Darleys work was a step in advance. He
probably was the foremost American illustrator
at the time; but. after ALL his version seemed
to fail to satisfy completely, and another year
nassed before the real Santa Claus climbed into
. chimney inst as readers of the ancient classic

What is Christmas without Christmas hymns?
And when were the first Christmas hymns sung?
There is sound basis for the opinion that the first
Christmas hymns were written by Ambrose
bishop of Milan, and by his contemporary. Pru-
dentus. In the earliest days of the Christian
era they wrote two hymns which still are widely
sung That by Ambrose is the "Redeemer of
the Nations, Come" while Prudentius is the
author of "Of the Fathers Love Begotten."
Two other ancient hymns in celebration of
the Nativity are From Lands That See the
Sun Arise" by Seduius, and Jesus, Redeemer
of Us ALL" which is of unknown origin.
The earliest English pieces to which the char
acterzation of Christmas hymns, distin-
gushed from CAROLS can be applied are those of
Ben Jonson, II Sing the Birth Was Born To-
night" and George Wither GAS On the Night
Before the Blessed Morn"
The first verse of Jonsons hymn reads:
81 sing the birth was born tonight
The Author both of life and light;
The angels did sound It,
And like the ravshed shepherds said,
Who the light and were afraid.
Yet searched, and true they found IT.
John Milton wrote the swelling lode on the
Morning Of Chrst's Nativity" hymn of rare
power which bears the stamp Of the genius of
the great Puritan poet. Many will recall these
opening lines:
ut was in Winter wild,
While the heaven born child
All meanly wrapt in the rude manger lies;
Nature, in to Him.
Hath dofd her gaudy trim,
With her great Master so to sympathize"
The aforementioned lines. "iark the herald
angels sing, Glory to the newborn King" were
written in the Eighteenth century by Charles
Wesley. while the opening stanza of the follow
ing, by Nahum Tate is equally well known:
while shepherds watchd their focks by night.
All seated the ground
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around"
modern hymn which carries on the ancient
tradition of inspired poesy Is that of the Amer
lean Phillips Brooks. Who does not know:
20 little town of Bethlehem!
How still thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars by;
Yet in thy dark streets shneth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
in thae tonight"
