Little cutting pieces of snow

in his coat stood a newsboy

ute, Joseph took Mary with him on
the journey to Bethlehem. It was a
tiresome journey. They were very
weary when they reached the little
-town. Joseph went to the hotel to
get a room where they could rest. But
poor Joseph was disappointed, for so
many other people had come to the
little town that day the rooms were
all taken. doubt Joseph and Mary
felt lonely and discouraged as night
came on. At lust they went to a stable
to find a place to sleep. Here In a
manger the Savior of the World was
born. ""
This was a very lowly place Indeed
for the Prince of Peace to be born.
Prophets had been foretelling his com

pecting him to come, but In some very
grand way. Some thought he would
make the kings leave their thrones
and himself be the ruler. But he
came as a sweet, dear little babe.
Now, you wonder how the people

“She wants a doll, hut she thinks she
can't ask for it ’cause we haven’t
money for dolls. I have, though,”
he said promptly. “I’ve been watching
a doll In one of the windows here. I’m
going by tonight and get It.”
“What is your name, son?”
“Jacques and my sister’s—ma
petite soeur—Marthe.”
| “Zshack?—Whaf a queer—”
1 “No; it isn’t,” he said, anticipating
| wlmt she was going to say. “My
mother is French. Those names are
j beautiful—to us,” he added after a
, pause. '**
j “Where do you live, Jacques?”
, “Sixty nine Kensington Square. Top

down pat now. haven’t I?”
1 “Yes, you won’t get lot* right soon,”
she replied as she put her arm around
him, and gave him a gentle tap on th*
shoulder. “Merry Christmas, Jacques,’
1 and she was on her way. She stopped
j a Uttle way down the street, however,
wrote something down, then hurried
on.
Another half hour found Jacques
bugging an orange and a little dolj
under his coat as he trudged along
home. Whoa he opened the door a
little voice started chanting. "Frere
Jacques, Frere Jacques—you’re latq
tonight.”
j “Yes, Marthe. Today I was talk
ing to Santa on the corner, and he
said he was -^awfully busy. He
doubted if he would get all around
( this year.”
“Oh 1” said Marthe In a disappointed
tone.
Jacques’ mother was sewing busily
upon a garment she was Intent upon
finishing. Tomorrow wus Christmas,

and no sewing was going to be left
over to bother her.
Marthe’s bedtime came, and
fixed his presents in preparation for
the morrow. He had found a Christ
mas tree branch in the street, and this
he made into a little tree under which
he placed his gifts. *
Christmas morning dawned brightly
in the little French home. Jacques’
surprise was complete, for Marthe
went into raptures over the tree and
lier’*presents. She alternately hugged
and kissed her doll, keeping ”o a eon-
talking together about the big
in Bethlehem that evening. Suddenly
there appeared In the sky a bright
light. The shepherds were afraid. An
angel spoke to them and said, “Be
not qrfraid; I bring you good tidings of
great joy which shnlrbe to all people.”
Then lie told them that Jesus had
been born in Bethlehem; that they
would find him, a babe,* wrapped in
swaddling clothes lying in a manger
with ids mother, Mary.
Suddenly there appeared with the
angel a host of other angels singing]
“Glory to God in the highest and on
earth peace, good will to men.”
After the angels were gone the shep
herds talked over the wondrous news.
Then they hurried away to Bethlehem
to see if it was true. Sure enough,
there were Mary and Joseph and the
little babe, Jesus. They then went out
to tell others.
God also told the news of his gift
to the world by placing a new star
in the sky. The wise men saw’ it and
followed its shining rays until they,
too, found the “Babe of Bethlehem.”
These wise men worshiped him and
gave him gifts of gold, myrrh and
frankincense.
This was the first Christmas.

stant chatter to It in French. The
orange and a few other presents that
she had found under the tree she put
on the shelf, so that she could admire
them while she rocked her doll.
Jacques had had his surprise, too—
“Give and it shall be given unto you”
—for his two packets under the tree
had grown to be six or seven.
“Mother,” he said, “I think I will
have to try my new mittens and see
exactly how warm they are.” So say
ing, he slipped into his coat and
pushed on the door. What ailed It?
Was it frozen shut, stuck, or what was
the matter?
With his mother’s help the door was
opened. To their surprise they found
that a huge pile of packages had been
the cause of their trouble.
Jacques gave a cry of delight
1 pounced upon the bundles.
His mother was just as excited as
he, as she helped carry In the stuff.
Then followed one of the happiest
hours the family had ever known—
whole two-dozen oranges and all sorts
of wholesome food. Jacques’ mother
fairly wept with joy.
Santa remembered us after all,
mother,” said little Jacques, “and he
left this note on one of my presents.
Look, mother, It says;—
‘I hope you will always be as
thoughtful of your sister, Jacques. A
Merry Christmas and a Bright and
Happy New Year.
‘SANTA CLAUS.’”
