I RAINBOW AROUND MOON
|T' IE moon came up like a big
J ** gold plate. As It slowly
mounted higher, the man in the
moon looked down to see what
people were going to get for
Christmas. A lovely rainbow
grew so interested, too, that it
gathered in a beautiful circle
around the moon and sailed up
the sky with It, thinking of all
the happy time below. Then a
moonbeam fell upon the face of
Tim Purdy, ns he lay sleeping
near his window, and was
changed into a smile as It got
Into his dream. He thought he
saw the very thing that he had
wanted so much and so long,
coming down to l\Iiu through the
air. As the moonbeam stayed
until it awoke him, and as he
looked up and saw the eelered
hale that crewned the mesa's
head, he exclaimed: “What a
purity rainbow! Faith I think it
means good luck for me!” He
was right. It did. In the mera-
ing he found that some good
fairy had found ont and brought
the very thing that ho wanted.—

The Boar's Head.
The eld Christmas dishes were. of
ceurse, largely determined by the feed
mnterlul available for the Christmas
board. The existence of thousands of
wild boar* in the woods made boar
hunting one of the national sports, and
the boar's head with Its concomitant
brawn, one of the most popular among
Christmas dishes. The old custom ef
serving up this ancient dish at Queen's
college, Oxford, is associated with a
legend to the effect that in olden days
one of the students, when attacked
by one of these wild denizens of the
woods, saved himself from Its Jaws
by thrusting his Greek lexicon down
Its throat, with the ejaculation, “Grne-
cum est” (It is Greek). Of course the
beast was choked, the "choking” pos
sibilities of such a dry-as-dust volume
being generally understood.

sunshine is shed upon more of the
earth’s Inhabitants.
This does not necessarily mean the
gains of the Christian religion, for
Christmas is wider than Christianity.
The day of the coming of Jesus Is
cherished by many millions who have
no connection with Christian churches
or the faith they profess. The holiday
is dear to all who live In lands where
Christians are most numerous. It
wins the devotion of little children
and holds their affection ns they grow
older. For multitudes Its observance
is not in any sense a rite of belief, but
a manifestation of rejoicing In the
love of fellow-dwellers in a world
which at best has too little of the
sunshine of kindness and affection.
There Is no reason to fear that this
growth of Christmas will cease. There
is nothing to indicate that It will over
