As Two Aged Men Saw
Approaching Yuletide
I was feeding the pigeons at the
end of one of the park benches
when two old men sat down. One,
ruddy-cheeked and Jolly looking,
made me think of a wlnesap apple/;
the other, thin, dyspeptic, and with
a frown between his eyes.
“Well, sir, almoit Christmas!"
began the ruddy one cheerfully.
"Funny how a body can begin to
feel It In the air this time of year."
"Don't believe in Christmas 1"
snapped the other crossly.
"What about gifts?” asked- his
friend. “How do you get around
them?”
"Don’t believe In this swapping
of presents, either. ♦*
"And Christmas trees and chil
dren—can’t very well wipe them off
the face of the earth.”
“Don’t believe In any of that hul
labaloo about Christmas—what’s It
all amount to?”
"Well, John,” said his friend, “you
are losing a lot, I can tell yon
that, and I’m glad you are not my
grandfather. If you don’t look out
you'll get old; yes, sir—old! Why,
you haven’t left yourself anything
but the Monroe Doctrine 1 Back
of this ‘swapping gifts,’ as you call
It, human hearts are getting closer
to each other than they do at any
other time. And back of It all there
are the Three Wise Men, and the
Star In the East. No, sir, you are
missing out on the whole business
—you mark my words. The wbrld
needs Christmas—downright needs
it, and whether you believe It or
not, I reckon we’ll go on getting
It!"—Anna Deming Gray.

The Heavenly Song at

Phlletus Phone was a lover of

It has been said that all the heav

Phlletus had never heard them,
even In Imagination. His ears were
long, but they had never reached
that far. There were conceptions
so delicately beautiful that they
could not get Into his mind. He
had been heard to say that the story
of the Christmas song was doubt

too high for Phlletus. He spent
Christmas Eve with a fox trot and
a giddy whirl, but the carols went
over him and passed him by. In
the splendid church great organ
harmonies swept up to meet the
moonlit benediction of the starry
heavens, carrying rapt souls to
heights of fuller vision of the glo
