COLD winter night the
*1 snow was gently falling on
the pine trees of the for
w est. These tall, stately
trees stood very straight
and still on this cold night. By and
by the tallest and the oldest of them
said:
“How happy I shall be when at last
I am strong enough and tall enough to
be cut down by Mie wood cutters. 1
hope when they do cut me down that
I may be good enough that they will
want me for some great ship, and then
I shall have a chance to sail the, seas."
“What do you know about ships and
the seas?” asked a little pine tree who
stood at the foot of the tall one.
The stately tree bent his branches a
very little and looked down at the
small tree, at his feet.
“1 have heard many stories of the
seas, and the ships that sail on them,
for the birds sit in my branches and
sing to me all the time of the beauties
and wonders of the world. Then, too,
the starbeams, who are much older
than the birds, have some truly won
derful tales to tell of things that they
have seen in their trips around the
world. There is the Starbeam of the
Brightest Star, just peeping over the
hilltop. He can tell some truly won
derful tales.”
The little pine tree trembled for
very joy. This was his first winter in
the forest, and these things wrere all
new to him just as was the snowT that
wTas covering his roots, and making
them all warm ith its white blanket.
“Won’t you please ask the Starbeam
to tell us a story?” asked the little
pine
“Let us ask him to tell us again the
Christmas story, ’ said another of the
older pines, “the one he told us last
year.”
So, when the Starbeam came over
and rested gently dn the tallest pine,
he asked it to tell again the Story of
the First Christmas.
“I love to tell this story best of all
stories that I know\” said the little
Starbeam.
unce upon a ume a long nine ago,
long before even the oldest pine trees,
here began to grow, a beautiful worn-1
an, named Mary, and her husband, Jo
seph, went on a journey to a little city j
called Bethlehem. All the people In
that country went to this same city, to
pay their taxes, and when Mary and
Joseph got there, they found so many
people, that there was no room left
for them at the inn. The only place
where they could find shelter was in a
stable, and here they went. That night
a little babe was born, and its mother,!
Mary, laid him in a manger on some
nice clean straw.
‘‘Away off in the East, the Brightest
Star appeared. He had never been
seen before, and some wise men who
knew that this was the time for the
babe to be born, saw the Brightest
Star as they started out to find the
babe. All their long journey the Bright
est Star kept juBt in front of them to
show them the way to go, and when
they rested at night, the Brightest
Star would rest too, and wait for them.
At last they reached the city of Beth
lehem, and found the little babe in the
manger with his mother by his side.
“These wise men had brought some
very costly gifts to this babe, and it
is the birthday of this babe that is
celebrated every Christmas, and it is
in his memory that gifts are given to
the poor.
"That is all of the story, and it is
time for me to be going,” and the Star
beam went gayly on, dancing over the
tops of the trees.
The Russian St. Nicholas.
In Russia the children put their
shoes filled with hay outside the door
for the horses of St. Nicholas; and
it is believed in most sections that
St. Nicholas comes first on a prepara
tory visit ten days before Christmas
to learn which children have been
good. He leaves nuts and candy in
the shoes of those who have been
good, but nothing for those who have
been bad, who thus know that they
may expect no presents on the real
Christmas day.
The Bran Pie.
This is an English custom. The
gifts are hidden in a large pan of brau.
A string is tied to each pac'kage. and
on the ehd of the string is the name
ot the one for whom the package is
intended. When all have their strings
they all pull. Then comes the fun of
getting the brau off and opening tne
packages.
CLARKE WINS BY
NARROW MARGIN
Arkansas SenatorisAgainChos
en as Presidnet Pro Tempore
of the U. S. Senate.
Washington, Dec. 4.—The
sharp contest over the nomina
tion of the Senate Democrats in
caucus of their candidate for
president pro tern ended late
yesterday afternoon in the elec
tion of Senator Jas. P. Clarke
of Arkansas over Pomerene of
Ohio.
Senator Clarke would prob
ably, by reason, of seniority,
have had smooth sailing, but
his opposition in the last Con
gress to the ship purchase bill
is understood to have brought
his party associates into dissen
sion over his re-election. The
administration, it will be rem
embered, exerted its influence
more for this measure than al
most any other in its legislative
policy.
All the Democrats who join
ed with Senator Clarke in his
fight against the ship purchase
bill stood solidly behind him.
anil most of the southern sena
tors also supports him. Sena
tors Fletcher of Flordia and
Martin and Swanson of Virgin
ia however, voted for Senator
Pomerene. The Florida senator
had charge of the ship purchase
bill. Majority Leader Kern vot
ed for Senator Pomerene,whose
candidacy was most actively
championed by Senators Walsh
of Montana and Stone and Reed
of Missouri. Senators who ad
dressed the caucus in opposi
tion to Senator Clarke argued
that he had deserted the party
in leading the revolt againstthe
|ship purchase measure, which
had been made a caucus meas
jure. Senator Clarke spoke vig
orously in reply declaring that
the bill was not-of a character
, to be made a party measure
and denying the right of a cau
cus to bind him on such a ques
tion.
