There is not much that is "merry" or joyful for these in the days preceding Christmas day, and they generally reach the bless ed day itaelf too utterly wearied and worn out for its enjoyment. Our "pat ernal" government does most emphat ically the unfair tliiug by its post office employes. It neglects or refuses to make appropriations that would make possible the employment of extra clerks at the Christmastide shopping and mailing season. The sticklers for an eight hour day for themselves may well consider the lot of those who for weeks at this time of year are forced to work many extra hours without an added dollar of compensation. None of ns would like to be compelled to do it. Let each one try to add as little hard ship as possible to the overworked ones in the post office and to the work of those behind the counters who must serve smilingly and attentively though ready to drop with fatigue. For after all the very essence and the crown of Christmas giving is Christmas living— the living out of the spirit of Christ mas of which one of the components is, as all admit, "good will to men." "Good will" considerateness, kind ness, not to onr own chosen friends only nor yet only to those whom, we deem objects of charity, but to all specially to thoso who bc-vp us in our rush anil hurry in these days before the Christmas dawn. Christmas Shopping. The ladies are now busily engaged in their Christmas shopping and their daily visits from store to 9tore are keeping the salesladies and salesmen on the constant jump. There are not many of the gentler sex who do not like fancy china, and there is no need to fear they have all they want of it either, for they never get enough, and even if they have all they want when they see the d licate Haviland and other rare pieces like are on display at Hunt's Drug Store they want it. Tiicy forget all about what they have and concluded they must have more. We dont blame them either. It is perfectly irresistible—so delicate, so daintily decorated—and is admired by every lady. Your wife, your mother, your sister, all will be delighted with it, gentlemen, if you do the 9hoping, and do it at Hunt's. Calberson on Insurance Financiers. In the presence of .Senator John F.

They reach in every direction, lay hold of every class of men and invade every party. They traffic in political iutluence a." they would in the wares 011 a mer chant's shelf. They have invaded the sanctity of Legislatures, State and na-. tonal. ! To this there was no response from Senator Chauncey M.

THE man who spends bin life on board a big passenger ship sees nbout as many different kinds of Cbrlstmases as any body, I guess," said the captain of a , ' : North German Lloyd steamship as he ! sat 111 bis cabin preparing for a holiday : voyage to the Mediterranean. "With a crowd of jolly passengers . aboard who are off ou a trip to enjoy themselves Cbtittmas is a day to be re- { membered. Friends and relatives send gifts on ahead, so that tbey may be ' handed to passengers at the right time, 1 and of course this personal remem ! brance from home makes more enjoya , ble the celebration which Is always prepared ou board the ship itself. The ' 24th of December passes about as do other days untl) dinner time arrives, 1 and then the chefs and stewards outdo themselves In providing an elaborate , menu and in table decorations. "If the weather Is fine, as It Is likely to be, the passengers are In high spir its, for the Christinas feeling Is lnfec -1 tlous, no matter where you go. To ward the end of the dinner speeches are made, songs are rendered, stories are told and toasts are given, and when thU Is completed all goto the main sa loon, und the Christmas tree Is re vealed, standlug there In the middle, under the big skylight. It Is a big tree, too, just as big as can be obtained and put In place, and on It are hung gifts 1 from the ship for every passenger—not costly at all, but remembrances that are likely to be long preserved as sou venirs of a pleasant occasion. Then, if the sea Is not high, the candles are lighted, and the tree bursts into beautl , ful Illumination. "After the distribution of gifts from the tree a concert Is given 1f the weather is bad, but whenever Christmas eve Is pleasant and the latitude Is suitable the passengers goon deck, which they find to be shielded from the wind by can vas, brilliantly lighted and decorated with flags und bunting. And, I tell SIFTS FKOM THE SHIP FOB EVEBY PAS BKNOF.K. you, on a moonlight nlgbt, with a calm sea and soft, pleasant air, In tbe Medi terranean, for example, a Christmas eve aboard a great ship Is something for most passengers to remember. I'm sure I can't Imagine anything more charming. "The baud plays lively music, and ttie passengers dance ou deck, but if they imagine tbey ure the only ones aboard chip who are celebrating Christmas eve they ure mistaken. If they were to look into the forecastle they would see another Christmas tree there, also covered with little decorations and gifts—the sailors' tree. For, you know, a German Is only half a Germau with out a tree on Christmas eve, and every German ship has one. "Loug before the Bbip sailed from her home port on the Christmas voy age friends and relatives of each sailor prepared some little presents, which they sent forward In care of some ac quaintance lu tbe crew so that their particular sailorman might have bis surprise at tUe right time. Of course these gifts are inexpensive, for the sailor's family bus little money to spare, but a pipe, warm stockings or some such article is received aboard tbe vessel and carefully kept until the proper time, when all are hung on the tree. The company gives the sailors a little wine or beer and Christmas cakes. This applies also to tbe firemen, who have a tree of tbelr own In their room. So, as you will see, there are usually as muuy as three trees üboard the ship. | "The 25th of December we observe as a holiday on our ships, and all work is suspended aboard ship excepting that which It Is absolutely necessary to perform. If there Is a clergyman umoug tbe passeugers he Is requested to hold religious services for the tour- I Ists and also for the crew, and these I are fully attended.

M. Bret kbit, AuctV. Mexico's Christmas Poszk.da^s TO one who has been atray from the United States for • term of years the Christmas holidays there seem like a feverish rush, ■ad the simple pleasures Indulged In during the nine days of posadas In Mexico are returned to with a certain measure of relief. ! A posada Is an inn, and the idea per ; vadlng these festivities Is that story, j known to all the world, of Caesar Au ' gustus, who, In the height of his pow ' er, wished to know the number of peo ple who bowed beneath his scepter. In order to determine the fact be de creed that a census should be taken of all the nations composing the great Itoman empire. To effect this Augus tus sent twenty-four commissioners to the different parts of bis world. Tbe edict commanded that every person, rich or poor, weak or strong, should go to the place of bis birth or to tbe orig inal place of his family to have bis or her name Inscribed in the Roman regis try. Joseph and Mary, who were both of the royal bouse of David, went to tbe town of Bethlehem. They found it so full of people on the same mission that they wandered about tbe town for nine days seeking shelter. On the ninth day they were ullowed to stay In tbe stable of a posada, and there tbe Nino Santo, or Holy Child, was born. The posadas are held for nine evenings in commem oration of those weary days. Of course there are miserable homes where no sign of a posada Is held, but Mexicans, rich and poor, are generous. No matter bow dirty and ragged, every one is welcome in tbe churches, beauti fully decorated, and at tbe nightly po sadas held in them, though there the penataa are omitted, as the celebra tions are entirely of a religious nature. To the children tbe penatas are very Important features of tbe season. They THE BABI IB PLACED IN TnK UANUEIf. represent men. women, goats and oth er animals, beautiful flowers, immense chrysanthemums, giant roses and peo nies, lovely dahlias, nuns, monks in full costume und graceful musical instru ments. Each figure contains an empty Jar or penata of pottery, which is hid den by the decorations or costumes of colored tissue paper, most skillfully applied. The Jars are filled with goodies and unbreakable toys. When friends have been invited to a posadu the bouse is decorated with evergreens and mosses, flowers and tinsel in all tbe and corridors. In one room is the scene in the stable of Bethlehem the stable yard and servants, tbe animals, trees and plants, groups of Biblical characters, little toy fountains. Ail that money can do to beautify the beginning of tbe "old, old story" Is done according to the taste aud means of tbe host nnd hostess. Tbe little manger, amid soft lights and draperies, stands ready for the Nino Santo. A procession of 12.e guests and family forms in another part of the house, and the pilgrims, or peregrlnos, march two aud two, led by one who carries the Babe. Singing sweet hymns and the litanies, they go through tbe bouse, winding in aud out of the rooms aud galleries. At last the wanderers stop at the door of the room in which is the man ger. Two voices, representing Mary aud Joseph, in a wailing hymn beg to be admitted. Voices within chant a denial. Finally a voice announcea who they are that plead for shelter; then the door is thrown open, and tbe pere grlnos are allowed to enter. Tbe Babe Is placed in the manger, often by a priest, und songs of rejoicing burst forth. The i«'uatas are next on the pro gramme, the details varying with the fancy of the bjut. In a convenient place the penuta is suspended, and the little folk, aud big ones who choose to take part in the merriment, are blindfolded one at a time, turned urouud a time or two, then given a stick with which to break tbe Jar If possible. So many trlala, then another tries. When one succeeds the coutents fall to the floor and a scramble follows to see who gets the most. In some old families there ars evenings when tbe numerous servants partake of the Joys of tbe posada sad share in tbe souvenirs and refresh' ■tuts provided.—Collier's Weekly. "A Fine Edition."

GOLDMAN, Prop'r, Christmas j Eve In Bethlehem BETHLEHEM, the central spot of Interest in the Iloly Land at CUristmastide, is a Christian town set in the heart of Mo hammedanism, where once a year the Greek church grants the use of the gi'oltj or the Nativity to the Latin ehuyell. The ceremonies begin on IJee. 21 by the image of the youthful Christ I ?i ig carried from the basilica of St. Helena to the sacred grotto of the Na tivity, where the traditional spot of Christ's birth is marked by a silver Rfar set in the rocky pavement. The service begins at 10 o'clock In the evening. It opens with the chant ing of psalms without any musical ac companiment. The patriarch of Jeru* TYPICAL DETIILEIUCM FAMILY OF TODAY, salem usually officiates in the grotto, but on tliis occasion he is represented by the Latin bishop. The interior of the church is most picturesque, for there are only a few chairs provided for foreign visitors, while the bulk of the congregation is made up of the Bethlemite women in their blue dresses with red frontlets, wearing peaked caps when married and fiat caps cov ered by white veils when single. As they enter the church they at first kneel down and then sit upon the ground in true oriental fashion. "In the dimly lighted church," says oue who has seen the service, "these squat ting varicolored figures, with their beautiful faces lit up by tits and starts by flashes of the candles, intent on de votion, seem like so many modern Ma donnas come to celebrate the glory of tlie first Madonna." Precisely at midnight the pontifical high mass is celebrated, the figure of Christ Is brought in a basket and de posited upon the high altar, and the procession form 3 to accompany it to the crypt. As the long, chanting pro cession winds through the dimly light ed church there is something weirdly solemn about the ceremony, and as the sacred image* passes various acts of worship are performed by the devout attendants. On the procession moves through the rough hewn, dimly lit passages from the Latin church to the grotto of the Nativity. When the procession of richly robed ecclesiastics reaches the silver star set in the pavement the priests pause and stand in a group about the basket, which is deposited upon the star. Around this star is the inscription, "Hie de vii'gine natus est" (* 4 Here he was born of a virgin"), for this is the spot upon which tradition places the actual birth of Jesu3. There the impressive narrative of tlie birth of Jesus as found in the gospels is slowly recited, and when the passage (Luke ii, 7), "And she brought forth her firstborn Son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn," is read the figure is reverently picked up from the star and carried over to the opposite side of tlie grotto, where it ia put into a rock cut manger. This con cludes the service.—London Sphere. Lot* of White Hons© Turkey*.
