There was a man in our town.
And he was wondrous wise;
He said all plants were mistletoe
To his discerning eyes.
Whene’er beneatli a spray of green,
From holly down to fir.
He found a maiden young and fair.
He then and there kissed her.
And when the maids objected, he
Did penance there and then;
He counted up each kiss he took.
And gave It back again.

Christmas in the Year One.
And thus we kept the first Christ¬
mas—the Christmas in the year One,
with carols by the choir of heaven,
and God's own Son, the Savior of the
world, coming as a Christmas gift for
all mankind.—George Hodges.

“What is the population of your
town?” inquired the visitor.
“Wait a minute,” replied the man
who lived there. “I’ll consult my
wife’s Christmas list and see.”

HE twilight o?
Christmas e v a
crept slowly over
the city, disguis- j
ing the harsh out- i
lines of the house- !
tops with a soft
gray blanket.
The spirit of j
filled the air, and since you
not help breathing it, the joyous
song of “Peace and good-will” flooded
inner being as well.
In the dormer window of an attic j
overlooking the city stood a j
child. She was thin and pale,
but even these ravagers of beauty !
could not rob her features of their 1
loveliness. Great blue eyes and gold¬
en curls enhanced the fairy-like deli- i
cacy of her face, and though ill clad
she possessed the bearing of a prin- j
cess. Now and again she left her ;
post at the window and, opening the
door, listened as if expecting to he^r
familiar footsteps ascending the
stairs.
When it was almost dark and lights
began to appear here and there over
the housetops, like will-o’-the-wisps in
a marshy bog, she drew a chair be¬
neath the hook driven in the closet
door from which an exceedingly
shabby coat and weather-beaten hat j
were suspended. By this means she j
was able to reach the garments and j
was soon attired for the street. Run- i
ning back to the window she scanned I
the the city horizon and gleamed the heavens. Just above j |
a single star of
wondrous brilliancy, and the child, en¬
raptured by its beauty, forgot that
she intended to go out and remained
motionless watching .the resplendent
glory of heaven’s jewel. The room
was flooded with a soft shimmering
light, and the child gave a sob of joy
as she suddenly realized that the star
moved. As far as she could see the
same silvery radiance flooded the sky.
The great soul within that tiny body
sang with happiness and she softly
whispered: “It Is the star of Bethle¬
hem. I must follow it, like the three
wise men!”
She hastened from the room and
down the flights of steps to the street.
The star moved on and on. unfalter¬
ingly, and the tiny figure trembled In
every limb as it followed the won¬
drous light.
Beyond the boundary of the city,
over frozen roads and frost-whitened
fields, the tireless lettle feet, ill pro¬
tected by their worn shoes, hastened
after the star.
At last she came to a tiny house
nestled among a group of fir trees.
From the windows came paths of yel¬
low light, whose warmth and cheeri¬
ness drew her on to the door.
,
She did not pause to knock, but
lifted the latch and entered. The
room was scantily furnished, but a
glowing log fire bathed the homely
surroundings with a glorified beauty.
Seated in front of the fireplace was
a woman who bent lovingly over an
infant. Grouped about her were three
children, while the father of this hap¬
py family stood somewhat back of the
mother hanging a branch of ever¬
green above the mantel.
As the little stranger entered and
hesitated, the children rushed forward
to greet her.
“Come in, child,” said the mother.
The tired little girl moved eagerly
forward. "Have I found the king?”
she asked.
“The king?” questioned the proud
mother. “Yes, we think baby is a
king.” And she placed the soft, pink
face of the infant close to that of the
child, who reverently kissed its
cheek.
“I have brought him a gift,” she
whispered, shyly, offering a little bead
purse. The mother stooped and im¬
printed a warm kiss on the lips of
the tiny gift bearer.
“He will love it, and would thank
you if he could. See. he reaches for
it now.” The chubby fingers, at¬
tracted by the brightly colored beads,
tried their best to grasp the purse.
“You have given him his first
Christmas gift,” said the father.
“Draw near the fire—you are cold—
while I get a bowl of bread and milk.”
The child removed her hat and
coat, seated herself on the hearth
stool and was soon enjoying the
simple fare.
“How did you find us?” the woman
asked.
"I followed the star,” she replied.
Giving of Presents.
It was the custom among Romans
to exchange gifts at their winter fes¬
tival, and this custom may have de¬
scended to us from antiquity. But
Christians like to feel that it was be¬
cause the wise men brought gifts to
the infant Jesus, and because of the
gift of God to the world. Gifts to the
poor seem from the earliest Bible times
to have ueen an expression of a thank¬
ful heart.
They Knew.
The humble home of a certain in¬
dividual was discovered in flames cn
the morning of December 25.
The neighbors assembled rapidly,
shouting to the owner of the burn¬
ing house:
“Merry Christmas! Merry Christ¬
mas'.”
For well they knew that ‘it was in¬
sured for twice its value.

Mountains of Rock Salt.
Near Jelfa, Algeria, is to be seen a
mountain of rock salt, 300 feet in
height and nearly a mile in diameter,
Two other hills of this character are
ltnown in Algeria, both being near
Biskra, and in all cases the salt is
surrounded by trh.ssic marls and
clays. A curious feature of the Jelfa
hill is the fact that in spite of the
very soluble character of the material
composing it it states up in high re¬
lief from the surrounding clay and
contains no valleys or other sign of
erosion. It does, however, contain a
number of sink holes, as in a lime¬
stone country. Wlssn the brief tor¬
rential rains of winter occur the water
sinks almost at once into these cavi¬
ties and soaks through the permeable
salt, emerging at Use margin of the
hill in salt springs.
Gave It Up.
Two pickpockets were standing on
their trial, notorious thieves. None
the less, they contrived somehow to
put up a good defence, thanks mainly
to the cleverness of the lawyer whom
they employed. The detective who
had effected the arrest spent a miser¬
able twenty minutes in the witness
box, contradicting himself repeatedly.
“Then what made ‘ you suspect the
men?” asked the lawyer. “As I said
before, one of them was wearing an
overcoat with a slit in the lining, so
that he might operate more easily.”
“Come, come,” said the lawyer, "would
you arrest me if you saw me wear¬
ing such an overcoat?” “No, sir.” 1
happen to know who you are. You're
a lawyer.” “Well, what’s the differ¬
ence between a lawyer and a pick¬
pocket?” The detective shook his
head. "1 really don't know,” he mut¬
tered.
The Artificial Kind.
“I wonder why it is that terms of
endearment are often followed by
terms of separation?"
"I can't begin to say. What prompted
you to ask that question?”
“A friend of mine who used to call
his wife the light oWiis lire recently
obtained a divorce and made a con
tract with a musical comedy star to
furnish him illumination.”

Rather Hopelessly.

HARD TASKMASTER IS
Possession That Sets a Man Apart
Prom His Fellows Keeps Him Con¬
stantly at Work.
Gcnius, what is it but the power of

] ] hiding in the rags of a tinker, loving
the hovel, the plowland, the grimed
| an( j smoky roof. It is a personal
i itv a living creature, a
man in man . a reading master, an
angel of kindness and a tyrant of
j cruelty, smiling at the pupil one time,
j scourging him another; and as the
, body comes to its power with years
it - hears the , . master always . teaching, - .
never at rest, speaking with a dis¬
tinct voice, unfolding pictures without
end, and the amanuensis cannot keep
pace with this tyrant who hurries him
on with, "See this,” and "See that,”
working while the body sleeps, show¬
ing portions of the way and work
of life which are eftill far ahead,
planning out the whole life right up
to the end, giving everything eagerly,
if with pain, when the time comes.
That is genius, the power which works
not for the man, but against him.
No labor can make what is not there.
Application makes a man able to
learn, but not to teach, and if the

Lovemaking of Kings.
The kaiser was in love with the
daughter of the duke of Schleswig-Hol¬
stein when he married her; the Aus¬
trian emperor devoutly worshiped the
ill-fated Empress Elizabeth, whose
life was always something of an un¬
real romance; the king of Italy went
a-wooing in true lover’s style his very
charming princess of Montenegro,
while the impetuous lovemaking of
King Alfonso when he sought the
hand of Princess Ena was testimony,
if such were needed, of how strongly
she appealed to his affections.
Fatal Diseas.e.
A young painter 'who had just fin¬
ished a picture insisted upon a friend
calling to see it.
“There now,” enthused the artist,
“you see my new picture. What’s the

friend, "but I should say it was a case
of art failure.”—New York Evening

Austrian mail suffers. In ordinary
times mail reaches Buffalo from Vien¬
na in ten to twelve days.

Chapter of Syrian Life.
In Syria a chaperon is the law of
social intercourse between the young
folks. At the wedding ceremony the
bride appears in the center of a bril¬
liantly illuminated room. On all sides
are attendants carrying large candles
richly painted and decorated. As she
takes her chair, what money she pos¬
sesses of gold and silver is placed on
her head.
The gift of the bridegroom is 40
dresses, and, as the wedding celebra¬
tions last two weeks, the bride has a
chance to display her gowns, making
numerous changes daily for the de¬
lightful edification of her friends.
As a rule, these dresses last a life¬
time, and are usually handed down
from one generation to another, and,
unless destroyed otherwise than by
wear, they are everlasting.
Another Horror of War.
The other day an innocent-eyed
young lady, whose demeanor has al¬
ways been sweet and gentle, went to
a bookstore and returned with three
volumes under her arm.
“What have you there?” she was
asked my a male friend. Of course,
he expected for an answer the titles
of three fluffy novels full of moonlight
and love.
Instead the gentle young thing rat¬
tled off glibly:
“Oh, I've just bought Armies and
Navies o? the World War, The Begin
| nings of the Great European Struggle
and Battles of the War on Land and
Sea.”
"Ye gods!” gasped the man. and
then under bis breath “Sherman was
right.”—New York Times.
A Personal Grievance.
‘When I was a boy my ambition was
to join a minstrel company, nut on a
red coat and a silk hat and parade the
streets of my native village.”
“I had some inclination for the stage
myself, but that wasn’t what I might
call the consuming ambition of my
boyhood.”
“No? What was it?”
“I wanted to grow tip with the phy¬
sique of a prizefighter and whip the
dogcatcher in our town."
A Roughneck Opinion.
“Do you consider bass drums and
cymbals genuinely musical instru¬
ments?"
“No," replied Mr. Growcher. “My be¬
