FRIDAY MORNING!, DEC. 11. 1914.
McCaine Bros.
Court Square. Phones 45-46
The tapers of Christmas-tide
burn low,
And the Christmas ball is over,
But happy and tired shall my
lady go
Beneath the drowsy cover,
For great j H the love that the
tokens show
On rose-tipped fingers
and breasts of snow—
The jewels of her own true lover.

T HE tree shines with the
candle glow,
The trinKets glitter jewel-
wise,
And we would that our souls
might Know
The joy told in the chil
dren's eyes.
Such sheer delight as this of
theirs—
A wondrous happiness
it is!
And every word the mes-
' sage bears s
This is the children’s day
—and Hisl
I ET us come, as the Wise
- Men came
Those nineteen centuries
agone,
Led by the Star’s eternal
flame
That bade them rise and
hasten on.
They brought rare franKin-
cense and myrrh,
They brought rich gems
and graven gold,
They Knelt, adoring, near to
Her,
And all their marvelings
they told.
/YE., as those Men of long
A ago,
Today we, too, may see
the Star,
May see its mystic heaven
ly glow
Flash out o’er Childland
fair and farj
And from ourhands now fall
the gifts
And we Know why the
Wise Men smiled
With gratefulness; and each
heart lilts .
Its chant of worship of
the Child.
Christmaz Beauty.
Thl.k lovely thoughts in keeping
with the spirit of the time.

For it is gor'd to be children
sometimes, and never better than
at Christmas, when its mighty
Founder was a child himself.

stocking on Christmas eve?” asked
the boy's uncle, patronizingly.
“I suppose so,” answered the boy,

mother seem to expect that sort of
thing, and It would be a pity to dis
appoint them.”

Right Christmas
Attitude
B EWARE of uttering pes
simistic and cynical re
marks about Christmas and
Christmas joys. If only from
motives of vanity, abstain
from grumbling during the
festive season, for nothing
so surely fixes a person’s age
as disagreeable remarks about
the utter futility and absurd
ity of keeping Christmas.
However well preserved, how
ever free from gray hair,
wrinkles and other distressing
marks of devouring Time, be
quite sure that your Christ
mas attitude will not give you
away. “Heigho for the holly!
This life is most jolly!” is
. die correct attitude. It is the
attitude of the child, and at
Christmas time the immortal
child which lurks in every
human being wakes to life
if we do not frighten it and
allow it to creep back to its
hiding place for want of en
couragement. Grumpy, dis
agreeable people naturally do
not like Christmas, because
it shows them up.
