IT is the fashion nowadays, alas, to
cry down Christmas, and it is fast
becoming a “can’t be bothered |
with it" sort of day. It is looked'
upon as a nuisance because Christmas
tide brings with it a ne<»ssary increase
of expenditure in the form of tips and
presents.
It is becoming more and more the :
fashion—fashion to be bothered—to j
take less notice of Christmas and, spend
it away from home where there will
be “plenty of fun.”
In the good old days spending Christ
mas anywhere but at home was never ;
for one moment dreamed of. Prepara
tions were made months beforehand.
Geese and turkeys were fattened, plum
puddings were made. pros|>ective
guests were borne In mind, and the
girls of the home fell to thinking of i
new sehemes for decorations. Now,
could anything be more delightful than
making Christmas plans at least two I
months beforehand so as to keep the i
festive season right royally? All this ;
sort of thing kept the family together. 1
for when the winter evenings brought
them nearer and nearer to Christmas
day it made them see how necessary ,
each one was to the other in the way j
of helping and suggesting as regards
presents for So-and-so. hoily for this I
room and mistletoe for that. Grad
ually it dawned on every one how dear
the home was to all and how still more
precious were the parents and children
to one another
When Christmas day did come it
was a time of perfect happiness, har
mony and satisfaction to every guest
and every member of the family. If
Christmas is not spent at home what
becomes of the family gathering, the
delight of decorating, the care and
thought the happy mother has expend
ed on the cooking of the dinner and.
to crown all. the praise of the Christ
mas pudding, which by the consent
of one and all invariably is “the finest
pudding 1 have ever eaten?" No
praise of a Christmas pudding ever
comes amiss to a housewife’s heart,
and if Christmas is not spent at home
the dinner will fall flat. There is no
family gathering, no noisy, good hu
mored chaff, and there is not that sub
tle, indefinable something at. work
which binds the family closer together,
heals up old sores, opens up new
friendships and wipes away all bitter
ness, that is so marked a feature in a
good, homely Christmas gathering.
There have been more reconcilia
tions. more "divided houses" brought
together again, more eyes made dim j
through a mist of happy tears at some
difference or misunderstanding made
clear by a Christmas gathering at home
than at any other season or place.
Charles Dickens, the novelist ot
Christmas, who did more for Christ
mas than any one can ever guess, had
had a slight difference with Thack
eray. He met him on the steps of his
club ou Christmas morning, hesitated,
then held out his hand, which Thack
eray grasped with all the warmth of
his great heart. Both men returned to I
their family gathering at home, feeling
better and happier men
Without a doubt a family gathering
at this festive and joyful season knits
the bond of love and good fellowship
closer than at any other time. Old
slights ami hurts are forgotten; hard
men of business relax and soften at
the sight of the children who many a
time have drawn out all that is best
in them after it has lain dormant for
years until they have forgotten they
had a tender side to their nature at
all. Yes, without a doubt home is the
place for Christmas. "Oh, it will be!
so dull and uninteresting at home!" is
often the cry. It will only be dull to
those who make it so.
And if there is a vacant chair or two I
which, alas, can never be refilled dash
away the silent tear and be thankful I
that you are spared to taste the joys I
of still another homely Christmas.
Your example of spending the festive
season will most assuredly instill the |
love of the yearly family gathering
into the younger generation, who will
emulate your ideas in future years
Posterity will be indebted to you for
showing how to keep up a good old [
Christmas which was suffering from
a slump in the twentieth century.
By all means, then, spend Christmas I
at home, decorate your house, remem
ber the postman, the butcher, the serv
ants and even your wife’s or husband's
relatives. However poor you are you
can be rich in mind, thoughts and
eheery words. When you sit down to
the table-1 don’t care whether It
groans with turkey and plum pudding
laid for twenty or thirty or whether it
merely trembles under the weight of |
much scantier fare and places laid tor
only three or four--it your heart is in
the right place you will say:

Os him who ruled Nieuw Amsterdam
And here in slumber lies.
His face beneath the close black cap
Has a martial look and grim.
On either side hfs locks fall wide
To the broad collar’s rim.
His sleeves are slashed: the velvet coat
Is fashioned Holiandese
Above his fustian breeches, trimmed
With scarf knots at the knees.
His leg of flesh is hosed in silk;
His wooden leg is bound.
As well befits a conqueror’s,
With silver bands around.
He reads the lines that mark
His tablet on the wall,
Where boldly ’‘Petrus Stuyvesant”
Stands out beyond them all.

THEN INTO RANKH THEY FALL.
*• *Tls well’" he says and sternly smiles.
"They hold our memory dear.
Not rust nor moss hath crept across.
’Twill last this many a year.’*
Then down the path ho strides
And through the iron gate
Where the sage nine men, his councilors.
Their governor await.
Here are Van der Donck and Van Court
land t,
A triplet more of Vans,
And Hendrick Kip of the haughty lip
And (Invert Loockermans,
Jan Jansen Dam and Jansen,
Os whom our annals tell—
All risen this night their lord to greet
At sound of the Christmas bell.
Nine lusty forms in llnsey coats
Puffed sleeves and ample hose!
Each burgher smokes a-Flemish pips
To warm ancient nose.
The smoke wreaths rise like mist.
The smokers all are mute,
Yet all with pipes thrice waving slow
Brave Stuyvesant salute.
Then into ranks they fall
And step out three by three,
And he of the wooden leg and staff
In front walks solemnly.
Along their wonted course
The phantom troop patrol
To see how fares Nieuw Amsterdam
And what the years unroll.
Street after street and mile on mil®,
l-'rom river bound to bound,
From old St. Mark’s to Whitehall Point,
They foot the limits round;
From Maiden Lane to Corlear’s Hook
The Dutchmen’s pypen glow,
But never a word from their lips is heard.
And none their passing know.
Ere the first streak of dawn
St Mark’s again they near.
And by a vault the nine men halt
Their governor’s voice to hear.
"Mynheeren. ’ he says, "ye see
Each year our borders spread.
Lo. one by one the landmarks gone,
And marvels come Insteadl
Not even a windmill left
Nor a garden plot wo knew.
And but a paling marks the spot
Where erst my pear tree grew.
Our walks are wearier still.
Perchance and it were best.
So little of»worth 1s left on earth.
To break no more our rest.’’
Thus speaks old Petrus doubtfully
And shakes ids valiant head,
When on the roofs a sound of hoofs,
A rattling, pattering tread.
The bells of reindeer tinkle—
The Dutchmen plainly spy
St. Nicholas, who drives ids team
Across the roof tops nigh.
“Beshrew me tor a craven!"
Cries Petrus. "All goes well!
Our patron saint still makes his round
At sound of the Christmas bell.
So long as stanch St. Nicholas
Shall guard these houses tall
There shall come no harm from hostile
arm.
No evil chance befall!
"The youngens and the melsjes
Shall have their hoften filled;
The butcher and the baker
And every honest guild
Shall merrily thrive and flourish.
Good night, and be of cheer!
We may safely lay us down again
To sleep another year!"
Once more the pipes are waved,
Stout Petrus gives the sign,
The misty smoke enfolds them round,
Hirn and his burghers nine.
All when the cloud has lifted
Have vanished quite away.
And the crowing cock and the steeple clock
Proclaim ’tis Christmas day

Woman Finally Recovers
From Nervous Breakdown
Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2i i Mechanic St., Pueblo,
Colo., says:
"For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; I was unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed to help me. Remedies 1
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
and he procure.! a bottle. After the
first few doses I showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles I was entirely cured. I have
been perfectly well for years and
cannot praise Dr. Miles’ Nervine
too highly."
If you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, but that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
has proven its value in nervous dis- ,
orders for thirty years, and merits
a trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
