hundred years
from now will
be the same old
Christmas, no
doubt, but it
will be celebrat
ed under such
Vr
I vL
vastly different conditio fthat
if you should go to sloe fiow
and wake up a century fkter
you would think you were in a
different world.
The Christmas spirit will be the same.
Hut whether it is a hundred years from
now or a thousand we may be sure that
when the Christmas season comes the world
will be lull of the Christmas spirit. Little
children and grown men and women still
will he made happy by giving and receiving,
grudges and grouches will be forgotten, ene
mies forgiven and good will will prevail.
Nothing can kill that. The golden
motto: "Peace 011 earth, good will
to men," will bo just as
sacred and as new to
the hearts of men as It
was nineteen hundred
years ago Everybody
will give everybody
else a present —but the
presents will be differ
ent,.
Little Johnny will
not covet a railroad
train. Heal cars on a
real track, pulled by a
real locomotive that
makes smoke will not
seem a wonderful thins
to him, as it does to the little Johnny of to-day.
The lad of the next century will want a model
of the latest airship in his Christmas stocking. He
will i xpect a working model, too one that will
ail through the flat like a llv•• bird, and perhaps
carry his own weight.
Within tin- last hundred years steam and elec
t licit > have been developed and it Is entirely rea
sonable to imagine that within the coming century
men will travel thiough the air as commonly as
thc.v now travel over the land. The automobile,
the trolley •' sr, the railroad train, and the horse us
a draft animal all will be gone. Men will use
th<* eiii.h. as t !»• • bird - do, for a resting place for
their homes and the principal source of food sup
ply; but w ben they want to move from one place
to anotle r, they will mount Into tie- ether, even
as the I mis do, and (lay swiftly and suhiy lo
their d« 'lnn Hon.

sonate Santa t'laus. A hun
dred years from now, if
you want to avoid the
rush nnd do your Christ
mas shopping in your own
apartments, the scientists
probably will have provided for you a combina
tion of telescope and moving picture machine by
means of which you can connect your room with
the toy department and see the display by wire—
or perhaps by wireless and at the same time you
get prices and leave your order with the clerk by
telephone.
But perhaps the woman of 2009 will enjoy the
mad rush of the shops ns much as she does to
day during the holiday season, and then she will
so to the bin store and onb r her toys and pres
ents. The store could deliver them through the
pli ;i:i.ltb |.; i<-K ■' t till" which will lo all
part of tie- city, but It will be more |i«etii lo
have tin in delivered by Santa Ciaus.
Christina eve n rcore or a hundred Santa
tian • ,-t will set out from the various shops with
their airships laden with Christmas gifts to be dc
llv. red at the vitiiou addresses. It will no longer
be ui i < Miry to "deliver all goods in tin- rear' of
the big apartment building, but whether you live
on the twenibth or two hundred and twentieth
story of lhi big house you will have your own
private all hip landing and while th«» family Is
gathered tit the ddor to receive Sa'ita Clans the
airship will ettle on the landing ami the cheerful
M -rry Christmas" of the ti ronaut will greet you
an he hands In l he packages.
The Christina* tree of a hundred years from
now will be an electrical marvel tVstuona and
wic.rhs of talnbow colored lights and chasers"
will irlntlllatc front Its green brain hes. Hut the

Tetlrty bear and the toy dog of the
coming century will be mechanical
marvels. The "Rover" dog that the
little boy gets will be life size. He
will prance about on his four furry
legs and lie down and roll over at
the bidding of his master.
Perhaps the most wonderful feat
ure of all \in our Christmas in 2009
will be the changed methods in
our daily life. The housekeeping
arrangements of that time would
seem incomprehensible to the wo
man of to-day if she could picture
them in her mind. The lack of oom.
forts and the inconvenience of life In
a cottaKe, It Is possible, will drive
most of the city dwellers into the
apartment buildings, which will grow
biKR»T anil taller as the years pasa un-
til they will be literally "sk.vacrapera" within a cen
tury.
In one of these bit; building*, while the machin
ery will l>e out of sight, domestic affairs will be ao
mechanical, even automatic, that you can Ret al
most anything the family needs simply by turning
on a switch or presslnK a button
The flat dweller of that distant day will not be
bothered with servants or the servant problem. By
pressing a button the Christmas dinner will come
up from the kitchen on the mechanical
waiter or perhaps in a pneumatic tube.
A'ter your Christ mas dinner is over the dishes
will dlsappi ar as silently and sw iftly as you could
wish Some sort of mechanical dish washer in the
kitchen wtll take car<' of them—or, what la more
likely, they will be made of a cheap composition
and will be destroyed by burning after they are
used once The antls* ptle precaution a of the mod
ern surgeon will be common to the kitchens of the
next century and hygl« ii<- will be a real science
When you hatfe «ai.-n your Cfcrl una-, dinner. If
you want to go out tor tin- • veniitK you cun press
a button and an aerocab wtll come to the lundlng at
your tluor. Or. if you prefer It, you may drop down

In*low the surface of ihe earth and be whirled
