THE POSSIBILITY THAT ESCAPEI
THE WOMEN OF BETHLEHEM.
Some Name Might Have Ran
Through All Ages Had She But
Known the Spirit of Christ
mas Hospitality.
HE child born in th<
stable of Bethlehem
"because there was n<
room for them in thi
inn,” was heralded b;
angels to the shepherd
and by a star' to tin
wise men; blit no voic<
told the mothers o
Hethienem of the wonder which wa:
happening in their town that night.
Suppose some gentle woman hat
met Joseph and Mary on that Won
derful Day, as they entered the town
and had said to them: “Our street!
are full of homeless strangers. Com<
you and bide with me!” By that sitn
pie act of hospitality, her nami
would have been written high, higl
among the names of earth's happies
folk. "Blessed is she," we shoult
have cried, “to whose home the
Christmas joy first came!” But the
women of the Judean town did noi
know to throw wide their doors anc
bring in the world's gratitude anc
love, says the Youth's Companion. Sc
the Child was laid in a manger, anc
oblivion holds the names of all the
women in Bethlehem who slept that
night beneath the wings of wondering
angels. Had they but known!
Year by year, for 19 centuries the
story of the night at Bethlehem hat
been told and retold To-day no house

lage or on distant prairie can plear
the ignorance in which Hethlehen
then lay. If the door is shut or
the Christ-child to-day, it is not frorr
lack of knowledge, but from churlish
ness or indifference.
The Christmas spirit speaks ir
many voices. The sprig of holly 01
the plum pudding, the tree laden with
gifts or the cheer for the lonely—
these are all the world's way of say
ing to the Mother and the Holy Child
“Abide with us!”
Barred out alike from cottage and
palace and inn in Palestine, the Hop*
of the World renews his appeal earl
Christmas tide to our modern Chris
tian world By the very pathos of the
first Christmas, the heart i., softened
and prepared to give him welcome
To day there is no heralding angel ot
guiding star
Xo ear may tv ar Hip coming
But in thif world of sin,
TV I tort nv k ton is will receive Hon still,
The dear Christ enters In.
Santa Claus Abroad.
I* is strange to contemplate the
great variety of forms the Santa Claus
custom assumes in different countries
In Belgium the little ones fill their
shoes with carrots and oats and hay
for the white horse St. Nicholas is
supposed to drive. Very early in the
morning they run to the room in
which their shoes have been left and
find that the provender lias gone and
in its place candies and presents are
found.
Among the Carpathian mountains it
is Sr. Peter, who. dressed as a bishop
and accompanied by the dreadful Ru
precht, is expected by the children on
Christmas eve. The visitor first de
livers a short sermon, lays on the
table a rod whitened with chalk, and
takes his departure with his tinkling
bells, while Ruprecht follows close be
hind. The children now hasten to pull
oft their shoes, polish them and tie
tlu/.i together; and. as soon as the
last note s of Niklo's bells have become
lost in the distance they run into the
garden and secrete their shoes be
neath a hush. They spend the time
until Id o’clock in relating stories
then go to their s! e<, to find them
filled with apple . nuts and good . s
Dairying in the South.
Under a special appropriation In
Congress a systematic effort, in co
operation with state authorities, ha;
been to introduce dairying into th<
South where it has not existed be
fore. It has been demonstrated he
yond doubt that dairying can be rai
ded on profitably in the South, anc
not only have Southern farmers beer
enthusiastically engaged in the work
but some of the states have made ap
propriations for its extension.
Supplementary to the inspection o
creameries performed by state dair;
officers, this department has initiatec
a system of market inspection of but
ter followed by reports hack to th<
creameries in which it is y.«»de, th<
object being to provide the butte

defects. Through the efforts of tin
department there has been a genera

owners and managers to tile immensi

THE ROAD TO CHRISTMAS
In Retrospect Grandfather Pictures
Yuletide Journeys of Many
Years Ago.
All the year Ions we have been
traveling toward Christmas—I and my
old wife, our children and our grand
children—not all by the same road,
not all with the same expectations,
but all looking out alike for the first
glimpse of Its smoke rising above the
wintry landscape of the year. Now
we can almost fancy that we hear
the chiming of the famous hells—all
Christmas towns are famous for their
bells and we know that we shall soon
be at our inn
If life b* a journey, and each
year a stage upon the road, 1 do not
know where else a sensible man would
stop for the recruiting of his health
than the fine old Christmas towns.
There, if anywhere, men are to be
found living together merrily; the inn*
are warm, the cheer is good, the
amusements are of the heartiest, and
the society is of the best. I have been
through many a Christmas town—for
I have traveled far—and have rested
thoroughly in each. I never found two
of them alik'e. Of late they have been
much grayer and quieter than they
used formerly to be; but I do not
think that i have been less happy of
the quiet towns at which 1 have of
late years resided. Let me confess so
much. As for these about me who
declare them to be not quiet by any
means, but perfectly uproarious with
jollity;, 1 do not interfere with their
opinion Children so easily deceive
themselves; it is enougli for me that
I am old enough to see things as they
are.
The First Christmas Tree.
"It's the Germans who brought the
Christmas tree to America," the Ger
man said. "Didn t you know that?
The duke of Hesse sold a regiment,
called The Hessians,’ after him, to
fight the Americans. They got so
drunk over their first Christmas tree
here away from home that Washing
ton captured them, and that starte
the fashion of Christmas trees i
America. It s history.”

Free Dyspepsia
Sample
Sufferers from indigestion are wak
ing up to the fact that peppermint
lozenges, charcoal and “dyspepsia
cures” are only makeshifts in the cure
of so troublesome a complaint as
c hronic indigestion What is required is
I something that will not only relieve but
which will tone and train the digestive
apparatus to again do its work normally,
and this these simple remedies cannot do.
There is something more to the cure
1 of indigestion than sweetening the
breath, and yet a remedy that only con
tains digestive ingredients will not cure
permanently, as the basis of indigestion
is poor bowel circulation, and that re
i quires a scientific laxative. We know
I of no remedy that combines these re
I quirements better than Dr. Caldwell’s
I Syrup Pepsin, which has been sold for
a quarter of a century.
! ural ingredients for the cure of con
I rtipation, Indigestion, liver trouble, sour
stomach, sic k headache and similar com
j plaints. Its ingredients will so strengthen
! and tone the stomach and bowel muscles
that they will again do their work nat
urally. and when that has been accom
plished your trouble is over Fannie
Stuart. Staunton. Va.. was a long-time
sufferer, as was O. Tuck. Blackburn.
Mo., and they both found their cure
with this remedy They became con
vinced that pills and tablets salts “dys
pepsia cures." etc., were at best ohiv
temporary reliefs. They first accepted
Dr. Caldwell s offer of a free sample bot
tle-. which he willingly sends to anyone
who forwards name and address Later,
having convinced themselves through the
free sample, they bought Syrup Pepsin
of their druggist at fifty cents and one
dollar a bottle.
Dr Caldwell personally will be pleased
to give you any medical advice you mav
desire for yourself or family pertaining to
Ine stomach, liver or bowels absolutely
free of charge. Explain your case in a
letter and lie will reply to you in detail,

name and address on a postal card or
