Christmas In
A Scotch City-
Glasgow, the commercial metropolis of
' Scotland, with 1(8 well nigh million In
habitants, can he chosen as nn interest
; Ing Illustration of the manner In which
one-fourth of the people of the country
spend the holidays Many days before
the store fronts on Argyll street-a
I thoroughfare us busy ad any In the
land—are gayly and profusely deco
rated with holly, and evergreens. Above
nearly every entrance signs of wel
( come and the compliments of the sea
son are exhibited in holly leaves. On
Christmas eve the stores keep open
late. Kit her side of the thoroughfare
Is a mass or blazing, cheerful light,
and there Is a moving mass of human
ity between. But when the stores
close they close until boxing day. All
the working people now get their
.Thrlstmns holiday.
On Christmas forenoon the lord pro
vost or mayor presides at the annual
meeting and breakfast given b,v the i
directors at the royal infirmary'. Ills
lordship makes a speech, after which j
there is u distribution of good tilings
to all the patients In the large institu- I
tlon. Then he \isits sundry other in- ,
\ stltutions for the care of the sick and
poor, where there are Christmas treeing
and feasting. Ry the way, Christmas
day Is one of the lord provost's busiest
; days. At 2 o'clock, according to an
nual custom for yearn past, he pre
sides at the annual dinner given to
. from 5,000 tt/ C.OOO poor men. women j
and children In the city hall. Albion '
street. His Jordship and the city
magistrates occupy the stage and take
dinner with the poor. 1 Miring the re
j past, which consists of soup, beef, an
entree, plum pudding, tea or coffee and |
fruit, stirring Scotch airs are played
on the big organ by the city organist.
At the close his lordship makes a
speech, which is reported verbatim in
the newspapers. It Is usually a mas
terly production.
Outwardly the aspect of tho city
resembles that of Sunday. Neverthe
less thousands of i>eop!e are moving
about The myriad of riveters in the
miles of shipbuilding ytirds along the
Clyde have come to the city with their
wives and families and are attending
the matinees or evening pantomime
performances that have already been j
running. These pantomimes are a fea- i
ture of city life in Scotland during
the winter. Usually three open at
the big theaters In Glasgow Christmas
eve. They are rehearsed for weeks
before. The playwright usually chooses
as his theme a fairy tale. "Jack the
Giant Killer," "All Haba and the For
ty Thieves" and "Aladdin and the
Wonderful Lamp" have been favorite
themes. As a rule, the playwright re
i tains enougn or in* tale so thar Hi

intere tli g. entertaining and even ele
| voting to old and young. Actors and
actresses of renown take the leading
parts, while there are dazzling cos
, tumes, magnificent scenery and a gor
: geous ballet thrown in No wonder
1 It Is that often until the middle of
I spring the pantomimes enjoy a con
j tlnuous run. Latterly they become
1 In a sense classics, for their libretti
undergo weekly Improvement at tho
suggestion of locxl wits noted for the
pungency of their sayings and the
fund of dry Scotch humor they pos
sess. It is no exaggeration to say ;i i
: these pantomimes are visit d bj smm
I persons each night all the season
I through and by others fully a score of
times.
Then there is the usual exodus of
young men to the country at Christ
mastide. It is a common saying among
Scotchmen that all roads lead to I.on
don. This is changed to Glasgow in
some cases. There is scarcely a ftim
iij of note in the Highlands that lias
: not a son at the universities of Glas
gow or Edinburgh studying for the i
professions of law, medicine, the pul
' pit. the army or the home or foreign :
civil service. With what hope and
i pride th<» advent of the young student I
' Is looked for at the little railroad sta
j tlon up in the mountains on Christ
mas eve or morning! If he lives on
. an estate the next day he is given a
side by his rustic countrymen In their
: annual Christmas day football match,
i The game is usually a stoutly contest
ed one. umpired and refereed by the
I laird and heads of the estate. At the
! corner of the field is placed a cask of
good Scotch ale, from which the play
ers regale themselves at half time
Then the game resumes, and the sec
ond half is fast and furious. Around .
the ropes are the young women of the j
estate looking on with pleasure and
discussing their choices in the dance
list of the evening - Brooklyn Eagle.
S.;nta Claus In tho Zoo.
Said Santa Claus: " 'T's Christmas eve ;
(The animals looked pleasant).
And each of you will now receive
His yearly Christmas present.
But I'd he Klad if every nuest
Would Mention what he'd itko the best." |
i The tapir said: "That pleases me.
I'll st ie succinctly therefore,
If 1 may be so bold and free.
The only thins 1 care for
Would be those matches on the shelf,
With which I'd like to light myself."
His wish was granted. Then up spakt
A timid llttlo adder:
"Sir, but a trifle it will take
To make my Christmas gladder.
A slate ami pencil. If you please,
Would let me do my sums with ease."
Tho said. "You may believe
I'd be a happy fellow
If I were sure I would receive
A good sized umberrellow.
And also I'd like four Kaioche,
Tea. and a rubber mackintosh."
