PRETTY LEGEND OF CHRIST
Old-Folk Tale Relates That Stars
Danced and Birds Sang on Day \
* of His Birth.
\Vlu*n the child of Nazareth was
horn the sun, according 10 the Bosnian j
legend, “leaped In the heavens, und !
the stars uround It danced. A peace i
oe oviy mountain forest. Even j
the rotten stump stood straight and ;
healthy on the green hillside. The :
grass was beflowered with open hlos- j
soms, Incense sweet as myrrh pervad- *
ed upland and forest, birds sang on j
tin* mountain top and all gave thanks !
to the great God."
It Is naught hut au.old-folk tale, hut |
It has truth hidden at ils heart, for a
strange, subtle force, a spirit of gen
ial good will, a new-lmrn kindness, j
(*in to animate child and man alike j
when lhe world pays Its tribute to the !
“heaven-sent youngling,” as the poet, |
Drummond, calls the lnfunt Christ j

Pretty Trimmings and Decorations
Can Be Made in Almost Any Home
• at Slight Expense.
As to trimming the Christmas tree,
first of all, don’t trim your tree with
cotton hatting and lighted candles, as
there is always danger In this combi-
nation, and “safety first” should be,the
slogan In all Christmas festivities.
You can purchase a whole lot of
pretry decorations for your tree at the
shops, and these come very cheaply,
too. But almost any home can furnish
>tho decorations for a really lovely tree
without very much expense, and there
Is iuj reason why' every family where
there are children should not have
their Christmas tree.
St rings of! popcorn and red cran
berries looped from the branches
make an effective decoration. And
strings of yellow field conr'fcleum beau
tifully in the Christmas light. Cres
cents. stars and hearts cut from heavy
cardboard and covered with silver and
gilt, or even* colored paper, and cornu
copias of bright colors filled v wlth
candy und popcorn are very pretty.
Form cotton batting into balls the size
of an orange and cover with orange-
colored crepe paper, twist tightly und
tie lo the tree with a hit of narrow rib
bon. These are pretty on the tree and
look like oranges.
• It Is best to place nil the larger
packages under the tree, tying only
the smaller gifts which are tied up in
bright-colored paper to the branches.
In fids way the tree will not look j
frayed and denuded when the gifls are
distributed, and It may be kept a long
time for the children to enjoy.

the streets were likewise garnished \
among which I read that In tb#
year 1414, by tempest of tlmnder and
lightning, toward the morning of Can*
diemns day, at th£ Leadenhall, 1fit
Oorttbill, a standard of tree, being sat
tilt in the midst of the iHTvemeut, fall
in the ground, palled full of holme and
Ivy, for disport of Christmas to th*
people, was-torn! up and cast down bjt

and the stones of the pavement aw

HYMN FOR CHRI6TMA8.
Oh! lovely voices of the sky
Which hymned the Savior's birth,
Are ye not Hinging still on high,
Ye that sang "Peace on earth7“
To us yet apeak the strains
Wherewith In time gone bjL I *
Ye blessed the Syrian swains, ,
Oil! voices of the skyt
Oh! clear and shining light whose beam#
That hour heaven’s glory shed,
Around the palms and o’er the stream%
And on the shepherd's head.
Be near, through/ life'and death.

Of hope and Joy and faith— I

A Rather Vague Order.
*A Wisconsin boy wrote to SantU - v
Claus as follows: “I would like a sly
rifle, a pair of Indinploves a mouth op*
gait a chrijttmipj tree und some candy
and nuts that Is all a game of check*
era for.” It’s a little vague, hut we
hope T^unta will be able to fill thflf
order.
USE„ OF EVERGREENS.
The use of evergreens at Christmas
{line is older than the Christmas tree,
the Christ Ians seeming to have copied
it from their pygnn ancestors. In a
veryjjld hook we find this reference to
the use of evergreens at Christmas
time: “Against the feast of Christ
mas every man’s house, as also their
parish churches, were decked with
holme, Ivy, ha yes, and whatsoever the

JOE. C. McCARLEY
d -r the Amberola tone is pure melody—
freefrom the metallic so und and shrill
ness of ordinary phonographs and
“talking machines’’. No wonder the
genuine Diamond Point Reproducer has
solved another phonograph nuisance
—the bother and expense of chang-
in^needles. No wonder the Amberol
Records are almost unbreakable, and
last for years after ordinary phono
graph records have broken or worn
out.
All the world’s best music is yours
on Amberol Records—the greatest
opera singers, the latest popular
dance and song hits, ballads, hymns*
military bands — in endless variety.
New records issued every month.
Don't Hesitate A Minute

exhausted. We will consider it M
