StorlM About O?#od Old St. Nichols* Christmas as Observed in Tho Arp Mouseltdd. Christmas has comc again. It is our annual milestone and tho miles get short or and shorter as anuo ^lominl roll's on. Time keeps shrinking and tho vlow of eternity expands as wo draw noar tho lino. Like tho Sab bath, Christinas wo a designed, or dalued. established for our good, our icai and vloauun-. in the north tern-, porato zone it comet* about midwlntei, when tho weather is hard and cold and suminer frult? and tlowers have gone and tho birds have migrated and nn? ture has gone to sleep, and tho earth is wrapped in Its blankets of snow and Ice. It eom<? like -tho school boys' re co s and brings g<xod choor and bright ens u/p tho family heartlistono. Onrlst mas novor weq6s out nor becomes old or stalo, or a back number. Y?ar after year a? now generation is ready to rocelvo it and herald its coming with a glad and happy welcome* Hleeslngs on the hold fathers who es tablished ths Christmas holidays and <>n the good men who for sixteen cen turies have presorted It for us and our children. All Christian- people havo olwerred It with happy greetings, ex cept tho old Pur!talis, and I don't KnuVfr w'iftjuYur we? vin iwwlvmi cr not. They condemned everything l.hat cravo uleasuro. Christmas was first olxserved by the Roman Cathollo at Jerusalem and Home. Later on the Church of Eng land took it up, and ho did tho Pro testants of Germany and other coun tries, for tho birth of the Saviour was oiio event that all Christiana could celebrate with gratitude and Joy. In Raphael's great painting of tho na tivity a shepherd Is seen at tho door ? playing on a bagpipe. The Tyroleso of Italy come down from tho moun tains to tho valleys on Christmas eve. They come caroling sweet songs and playing on musical instruments and can bo heard tor miles around as the hills and vale? echoed with their har mony, end so muaio always accom panlfB tho Christmas fe*tivltles. Fiver greens, too, must have a part In the eenemonifw. for they have for ages been used as symbols oif immortality. Victors returning from the wars wero crowned with them. The sacred poets write of the green bay tree and tho cedars of Lebanon. For centuries tho l<h u rehes and torn pica havo been deco rated with them. All loverw of nature give welcome to them in midwinter, for they bring good cheer when there is no other sign o? living vegetation. Tho deep green hoN^r- with its red waxen berries, tho rosemary, the laurel, the ivy ?\nd the mlstlctoo har monize with tho~jKiQtic sentiments of our better nature. IU'^tho good old wreaths and chaplets of evergreen during ths Christmas meetings at night, and a kiss stolen from a lassie with a rosemary wreath on her brow was considered innocent, and was called "a kiss tinder the rose," andv love whispered under a mistletoe crown was too pure to be lost or bo trayed. j Afar back in the centuries there [ was a good old man named Nicolas. He lived in the third century and was m> good and kind and generous that ; win n lie died tho church sainted him and cvt-r since then he has been called S?t. Nicolas, and he is called the patron I saint of Russia. Ills German name is Santa Clans. The Russians say that St. Nicolas, when he was only a man, J was very riMi and on Christmas j nights ho would disguise himself and [ go around among the poor people and j in while they were asleep and put a purse <xf gold in every young girl's stocking, if she was in love or en-1 gaged to l>o married. The gold was to buy her wedding outfit. Ho also left a little present for every ch .d In the family. Didn't ho havo fun? I think I would l.ke that. An? so It Is .said that from him came the custom of hanging up stockings and waiting for old Santa Glaus to come down the chimney with his pretty things for the children. It Is said that in Bavaria, there was another good man named Knight Rupert, who while ho Uvod did the same kind of thlngn, for ho, too, hunted up the poor and loft pres nr-ts while thoy were asleep, but did not leave anything for bad boys. He was not their friend, and if he lived over hero now I don't rockx>n a cagar ette boy would get anything from him. Christmas la a good time to make good resolves, and all the next year a good time to keep them. Four hundred years ago one Thomas Tusser wrote: "Christmas cornea but once a year, .Now let us play and havo good cheer." ?Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution. River and Harbor Bill. Washington, D. C..
