There ls hardly a
festival in the calen
dar which has such a
hold on the hearts of
old and young alike as
Christmas Day. The
ring of the car bells
and the voices upon
the streets seem to
take on a more cheery tone, and the
spirit of the time seems to throw a
glamour over places and things which
ordinarily are devoid of all beauty.
As it is with placeS, BO it is with
people. They, too, not only seem to
change, but the transformation does
take place in millions of hearts to a
greater or less degree. The spirit of
Christmas even affects people who for
the rest of the year are devoid of
sentiment and of feeling for their fel
lows. The most interesting stories
of Christmastide are those which will
never appear in print-true stories of
men and women whose thoughts have
been only of their own selfish aims
and pleasures, but have been awak
ened, if only" for a day or two, from
their UBual self-complacency, moved
by some force of which they are only
half-conscious to do some act of kind
ness to make the day happier for
someone less fortunate than them
selves in a worldly way.-The Chris
tian Herald.
The Ohrlstmas Spirit.
But don't you see that there ls a
Santa Claus! ? ie isn't a man in a fur
coat, and a reindeer sleigh and all
that, but he is the Spirit of Christmas,
Isn't he? They've personified that
and made a saint of him and Invented
legends about him-fdr the children,
but when we're no longer children and
don't believe In him, we still have
that Christmas spirit-and it's that
that gives presents and makes us feel
toward one another, and makes Christ
mas what lt is.-Harvey J. O'Higeins

Wouldn't Take Foy's Money.
Eddie Foy, the actor, lives near
New Rochelle and owns a motor car.
The other day the comedian was In
a hurry to get to New York to attend
a rehearsal. The car was In iront of
his home. He gave the crank a twist.
Something broke In the engine and
the machine was put out of commis
sion.
The next best thing for Mr. Foy to
do was to catch a train. A car was
coming along the road and he hailed
lt There was no one in lt but the
driver. He readily consented to take
the comedian to the station. When
they arrived there Mr. Foy offered the
man a dollar bill.
"No, thank you," replied the car's
driver. "I don't want your money,
Mr. Foy."
The comedian thought that the man
was certainly a queer chauffeur. "Oh,
you know me, then?" he asked.
"Yes, by reputation," replied the
other. "And here's my card."
On the card, Mr. Foy says, was en
graved "W. H. Vanderbilt"--New
York Telegraph.
Association of Ideas.
Mr. Baker, who claims to be at
home in all that pertains to good
cooking, was sitting on the hotel piaz
za one evening lately, explaining to
his friends. Lawyer Thompson and
Colonel Robb, the manner of prepar
ing the latest fad in delicacies-the
snail-for the breakfast table.
Thompson was interested, but Robb
was quiet and . seemed drowsy. Sud
denly he brightened up.
"I saw three of them playing mar
bles in front of the postofflce this
morning," he remarked,
"Why, what's the matter with you,
colonel?" asker Mr. Barker. 'Tm talk
ing about snails."
"Well, I'm talking about messenger
boys," said the colonel. "Go on with
your conversation."
