The kaiser does no shopping him self, hut he is the greatest Christmas box giver of all, and his presents in •very case exactly lit the desires of the happy recipient. Early In December he makes a list of the persons to whom he intends making presents. Ills wife heads the list, and at the foot Is usual ly some old pensioner or Invalided housekeejK?r who has served the Ho henzollerns for half a century. Soon liefore Christinas the royal mint sends the kaiser a bag of bright, new HH BELLOWED OUT THE ONE WORD "MA JEBTAET!" gold twenty and ten mark pieces aud another of silver live mark pieces. Ills majesty fills his pockets when he goes walking in the parks at Potsdam, and the little children and old men and women who are fortunate enough to meet him or soldiers standing sentry, stamping in the snow, are certain of a gift, accompanied not Infrequently by a joke. The kaiser's best side is seen at Christmas. There is a story current that once near the palace of Sans Souci the kaiser came upon a half frozen sentinel with very red nose and eyes. The sentinel, with stiff fingers, brought his rifle to the salute. "Cold day," said his majesty. The sentinel did not reply, but his teeth chattered. "How long have you been on dutyV" asked the kaiser. Still no reply. "Stupid!" said his majesty. "Why don't you speak when 1 address you?" The sentinel moved his jaws and lips, but no word escaped. The kaiser burst out laughing and, turning to his ad jutant, said: "Take this chap into the palace, put him before a fire, thaw him out, par ticularly his jaws, see he gets a big hot drink and a big feed, and, here," turnfcig to th(? sentry, "take this and drink my health and the empress'!" The soldier found voice at last. He bellowed out the one word "Majes taet!" The empress Is always practical with her gifts. Every year her majesty grows more popular among the best el ements of the people. Her unassuming ways, entire freedom from hauteur, consideration for servants and kindly Interest in the welfare of the poor and helpless endear her In ever widening circles of Germans. She Is fond of pre senting ladies with costly lace. The young princes, headed by the crown prince, show little discrimina tion in their gifts—searfpins, rings, dogs, cigarette cases, matchboxes, and so 011, being their staple gifts, varied sometimes by a book, a picture or a statuette. Victoria Louise's gifts of dolls to her friends are numerous. To favored friends she does not mind pre senting kitchen ranges and furnished dolls' houses. She is In close asso elation with the matrons' and soldiers' orphanages at Potsdam, and the num ber of little girls who receive her gifts Is enormous. Stores of oranges and honey cakes are collected by her for distribution on Christmas eve.—New York World. An Old Christmas Custom. A century or two ago there was a custom in Germany for all the parents In a town or village to send the pres ents they designed for their children to | one chosen individual, who called at 1 each house clad in a motley robe, a : mask and a huge flaxen wig. Knock- j Ing on the door, he called In a loud I voice for all the good children to ap- ! pear and receive the gifts which the ! Christ Child, the Christ-Kindleln, had sent them. This was the primeval! Kriss Krlngle. Coleridge describes 1 hi> j custom and records that the bad little j children had a rod left for their cor- | redloll.—Brooklyn Citizen. Christmas li\ Cactus Center. WOMEN'S scarce in Cactus Cen ter, and there ain't no bar gain stores Fer to start them Monday rushes that break down the stoutest doors, But we had some Christmas shoppin' that the town ain't over yet, Jest because of one small woman and a drug store toilet set. She was Cactus Center's teacher, and she hadn't left the stage 'Fore she had the boys plum locoed, and I don't bar youth nor age. She was cute and smart and pretty, and she might 'a' been here yet If It hadn't been for Dawson and hia drug store toilet set. It was old and scratched and speckled, fer 'twas in his case fer years, But old Dawson, sharp and clever, put a whisper in our ears — 'Lowed he'd sell that set at auction, and he says, "Now, boys, you bet Thia'll make a hit with teacher—thla here swell new toilet set." IT WAS THEN UEOUN THE KHOOTIN'. Well, the biddin' started lively, and it got to gittin' hot, Fer every mind in Cactus on that sin gle thing was sot. Purty soon I'd staked my saddle, worth two hundred dollars net, Just to own fer one short second that blamed drug store toilet set. It was then begun the shootin', no one seems to know jest how, And 'twas lack of ammernition that at last broke up the row, And thirteen of us was hurted, but the worst blow that we met Was in findin' that some bullets had gore through that toilet set. But we plugged the punctures in it, and we plugged the wounded, too, And agreed we'd arbitrate it, and the bunch 'd see it through, So we sent a gift committee, but they came back sorer yet, Fer the teacher 'd fluttered eastward, so we have that toilet set. —Denver Republican. CHRISTMAS NEAR THE POLE. Where Seal Meat and Whale's Blubbei* Take Turkey's Place. "I think Christmas, 1883, was my most memorable one,-" said General Greely, the artlc explorer. "With my command I was proceeding southward in the hoj>e of obtaining help, and about the 20th of October we en sconced ourselves In a little hut at Cape Sabine. Our supply of food was running very low, and we were on very short rntions, every one being al lowed just food enough in each twen ty-four hours to sustain life. Under these depressing circumstances and amid the awful silence of the polar night the cheerfulness that wo contin ued to maintain was remarkable. "Christmas day came at last—Christ mas in the arctic regions! At (5 o'clock we had our breakfast—thin soup made of peas, carrots, blubber and potatoes. Our Christmas dinner was served at 1 o'clock—first course, a stew of seal meat, onions, blubber, potatoes and breadcrumbs; second course, served one hour after first, a stew of raisins, blubber and milk; dessert, a cup of hot chocolate. One of our party had somo tobacco still left, aud he very kindly made a cigarette for each one in our little party. "I will wager that in all Christen dom that day not another present was given or received that gave sur'.; in tense delight to the recipients as did those little rolls of tobacco and paper. They were quickly atlame aud bc-iug puffed away at far dear life, and thus my most memorable Christmas—a Christmas near the north pole—ended In smoke."—Pittsburg Dispatch.
