EVERY Christmas tho BtudentB of
Queen's college, Oxford, Eur
laud, hold "a rlRht mcrrlo
jouste of yo olden tymo," which
Illustrates how fondly tho human heart
and Imagination cllus to pretty mum
meries ages after their origin and sig
nificance havo been forgotten. There
Is a notable gathering lu tho hall of rke
college, with a notable feast In which
not only the collage dignitaries and
students partlclpato, but nlso a chosen
circle of friends and arrangers who
nro lucky enough to ecuro invitations.
There are a banquet and merrymaking
and singing, and at a supreme moment
there Is enacted a spcctaclo whlrh for
501 years has warmed tho hearts and
delighted tho eyes of tho denizens of
tho venerable college. First comes a
procession of tho provost nnd fellows
In all the glory of their regalia. Then
from without Is heard the warning call
ot a trumpet, and following the pro-
csslon come threo bearers bringing In
tho historical boar's head. A monster
head It is, one weighing sixty or sev
enty pounds, "surmounted by a crown,
wreathed with gilded sprays of laurel
and bay, mistletoe and rosemary, with
small banners surrounding." With the
bearers comes the college precentor,
who announces his presenco and pur
pose by singing a carol, which is in one
of its severnl forms as old ns tho col-
reading hla Aristotle In Shotovor for
Mt, four miles from Oxford. Sod
Senly tlicro rushed uion him a wild
ooar. Tnkon by surprise nnd having
10 other weapon, ho closed with tho
furious beast ami thrust tho book
iown Ita throat, exclaiming ns ho did
10, "It's Greokl" ("Graocum cstl")
What with this terrifying formula and
tho tomo clogging ids maw, tho Ixmr
fielded his life without more ndo. Tho
boar's hoad feast at Christmas was
laid to have been Instituted to com
mcmorato this event.
Tho boar's head fenst and celebra
tion came down to us like Christmas
day ltsolf and nil Its amiable associa
tions tho houses decked with yow
ind mistletoe nnd holly, the merry
making and tho gift giving from tho
rule festival of our ancient ancestors.

If I Were Santa Claus.
If I wero Santa Claus nnd might distrib
ute! thlnCH as I should plcaso
I'd brlnff tho sorrowlnff delight and hang
on nil tho ChrlstmnR trees
That In my travols I Bhould find
This little motto: "Just Ho Kind."
I wero Santa Claus I'd bring tho pessi
mist n hopeful heart.
Bo thnt he might censo murmuring and
manfully perform his part;
I'd give to every lass and lad
Tho wish to mnko somo othor glad.
To her who coldly sneers at those who.
having ptumbled, long to flee
From where defiled walls round them
close I'd kIvo a Ilttlo charity.
For every slothful one I'd leavo
Tho wish to labor and achieve.
To them that nro tho slaves of greed I'd
bring tho wish to turn from strife,
Tho longing, when thoy've all they need,
to lead tho peaceful, quiet life.
I'd scatter chances o'er tho earth
For all who Ions to provo their worth.
If I were Bnnta Claus I'd bring tho gift
of beauty for each maid
And hopofut Eongs for them to sing who
sit defeated and afraid,
And each should havo In every land
This little motto: "Lend a Hand."

lege ceremony, though It must be
thousands of years younger than the
precursors of the function which It en
livens. After each stanza tho whole
company Joins lustily in the Latin re
fraln:
Caput nprl defero,
Reddens laudos Domino.
After the feast tho ornaments which
had decked tho boar's head are dlstrib
uted among tho Invited guests.
Tho melody of the "Boar's nead
Carol" Is always the Bumo, but there
nro several versions of tho words. At
the present time the following version
Is used:
Tho boar's nead In hand bear I,
Bedecked with bays and rosemary,
And I pray you, my masters, bo merry
Quot estls In convivlo.
RCFRAIN.
Caput nprl defero,
Reddens lapdes Domino.
Ths toar's head, as I understand,
Is tho bravest dish In all the land.
When thus bedecked with a gay garland
Let us scrvlro cantico.
Our steward hath provided this
In honor of tho king of bliss,
Which on this day to be served Is
In regimens! atrlo.
Thero nro two obviously older ver
slons in manuscript collections. This
from Italllol MSS. No. 3M:
Tho borls lied In hondo I bryngo,
With garlands gay nnd byrdo syngynge,
I pray you all help mo to uyngo.

Wher eo ever It may bo fondo.

Anon after tho xvth day
Ho takcth hys love and goth away.

More undent than even this seems
to be that found In a fifteenth century
collection, known ns the Porklngton
manuscripts, which begins ns follows:
Hey, hoy, hey, hey, tho borryB node Is
army a gaye;
Tho bmrys licdo In bond I brynge,
Tho hedo yo furst roes.
Tho borrls hede, as I yow say.
Ho takes his lefe and gothe his way,
Oono after tho zlj twel fit day,

Tho reference to the departure of
tho boar's head in, tho last stanzas of
tho last two versions goes plainly to
tho custom of continuing tho Christ
mas revels till Twelfth Night. Now,
wheno caino the custom which
Queen'B collego has kept alive? Her
sons treasure a legend that Is almost
if not Quito as old as tho foundation
which isrfimusing if indeforjslblo. Ac
cordinf this legend, some time
about student of Queen's was
The Sadness of Christmas.
Chrlstrans is usually regarded as n
flay of rejoicing, nnd for the children
It often is n dny of real pleasure. Hut
even upon the child, if It bo a sensi
tive child, the melaucholy begins to
creep toward tho Into afternoon as the
shadows of night draw close. Much
more to tho adult is the day, one In
which if there is pleasure it is tho
pleasure of high comedy where tears
tie very near the Joyous surface. The
young man or young woman is bored
or pained by the congregation of his
relatives, old nnd chill, about the ta
ble seeking for the amusement which
escapes, nnd even if the day is spent
about one's own immediate fireside
thero are thoughts as tho members of
the family gather together for dellb-
rate Joy that some one once belonging
Ihcre will Joy no more. So that the
pensive man finds food for tho rcflec-
ion that happiness comes, If at all,
lot for the seeking nor, at any set time,
out as an unconscious function of tho
thoughtless soul engaged in the ordi
nary occupations of the gray and com
monplace day.
WHEN MARY'S BABE WAS BORN
Dear day, how glad wo greet thy glorious
morn
Whllo fleet winged thought speeds back
to Nazareth town
To picture how that Syrian sun smiled
down
That faroft dawn when Mary's babo was
born!
Think! In that Jewish homo on that day
camo
A wondrous man-child, strong of heart
and limb.
Tho purple blood ot princes pulsed In
h m.
Lovo gavo that babo a common Hebrew
name.
He grew beyond tho limits of his race.
Boyond tho narrow vision or his time,
Ho saw sun clear tho towering truth
sublime
Man Is tho Incarnation of God's grace;

Don't wait until every present has
been handled and shopworn; don't
wait until all the good things have
been picked out; don't rush Into tho
shops at the very last minute, out of
breath and out of patience, nnd grab

done Is a hurry up, haphazard enter

REMEMBER how utterly impossible
It is for even a well organized store
to guarantee that your presents will
be delivered on time when you your
