By ELMO SCOTT WATSON N ARTICLE about “Historic Christmases” would be in- complete without mention of the first—and most his- toric—Christmas of all. For bad it not been for certain events in the little town of : Bethlehem in Palestine some nineteen centuries ago there would shave been no Christmas to be cele- brated each year, hence no Christ mases to be characterized as “historic.” What those events were have best been recorded by “the beloved physi- cian,” St. Luke, who, more than any one of the four apostles who have written the story of Christ, has given the historic background of those events, And this is the story of that first historic Christmas, as St. Luke tells it: And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Gal- ilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife, being great with child. And so'it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her first-born gon and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; be- cause there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel! a3!d unto them, Fear not: for, hehsid, I bring you good tid- ings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the bake wrapped in swad- dling clothes, Iyving in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God. and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to an- other, Let us now go even unto Beth- lehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen fi, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child, And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart, And the shepherds returned, glorify- ing and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told anto them. Those were the events, then, which were destired to bring about the world-wide celebration of December 25 of each year. However, this ob- servance did not begin at once, for the very first evidence of a feast having been held in honor of the birth of Christ was in Egypt about che year 200. Although the regular observance of Christmas began sometime in the Fourth century, it was not until the Thirteenth century that the celebra- tion became a general custom. It is interesting to note that the first Christmas celebration in the New world took place only a little more than two months after that event which is usually referred to as “the discovery” of America. Soon after Christopher Colnmbus set foot upon the soil of the New world he started upon an exploration of the group of islands which he had found. During this time he anchored his ships in a harbor of Haiti, to which he gave the name of a saint whose day is cele- brated on December 6 and who in the minds of children is inseparably con- nected with Christmas day—St. Nicholas.

" memset The first Christmas in the New world—and surely it was a historic one—was an eventful day for Colum- bus and his men. They spent it in a vain effort to seve the flagship, the Santa Marie, which had been beached on Clhristmas eve, Finding that their efforts were doomed to fail, they took what goods they could from the ship and carried them on board the Nina. Since this vessel was too small to rarry all those who had been on board the flagship, Columbus found it neces- sary to leave some of his men in a fort which was built on an island and which in honor of the season was called Le Navidad, “The Nativity.” Although Christmas was, no doubt, celebrated by the early Spanish and French settlers in the New world, there is no record of any outstanding events on that day connected with these settlements which would make their Christmas celebration worthy of the characterization of “historic.” Christmas must also have been a joy- ful occasion for the settlers of the first English colony at Jamestown, Va., even amidst the privations and troubles of the early days of that colony. For they doubtless brought with them the English tradition of the Old country Yuletide with all of its feasting and merrymaking, Quite different was the first Christ- mas of that other English colony founded “on the stern and rock-bound coast” of New England, The Pilgrim fathers landed from the Mayflower at Plymouth on December 21, 1620. But Christmas day that year brought with it no thought of revelry or gayety to these Englishmen. This first Christ- mas day found them without shelter from the piercing winds, since the day before was Sunday and no one was allowed to labor and disturb the sanctity of the Sabbath even for the purpose of building some sort of shel- ter from the icy blasts of a New Eng- land winter. So, instead of observing Christmas in any such manner as their descendants do, these pioneers celebrated the day with the swinging of axes, the felling of trees and the clearing of ground upon which their rude log cabins were to stand, When the second Christmas in New England came around there was no joyous celebration, for still another reason, During the preceding year an- is nothing to prevent the ultra-violet rays, which cannot penetrate ordinary glass, from pouring into the houses. Cases of rickets are exceedingly rare among the poorer Chinese in spite of the malnutrition and lack of sanita- tion all too prevalent among them, Won Fame as Poet Jacques Jasmin, the last of the troubadours, who begun life as a bar- ber in Germany, was called the “bar- ber poet.” He was well known, and other ship had brought a load of emi- grants and of this colony William Bradford, a stern Puritan, was gov- ernor, He formally outlawed Christ- mas, as the Puritans of England had done when they had gained control of parliament, because it was looked upon—at least so far as the Old Eng- lish celebrations with their strange mixture of ancient Druid customs and Christian ceremonies—as a ‘godless and pagan rite,” More than that, the General Court of Massachusetts, frowning upon the idea of making the Christmas season a time of enjoy- ment, passed an enactment which stated that “who is found observing by abstinence from labor, feasting or in any other way, shall pay for every offense five shillings.” For more than a century the stern Puritan influence prevented anything but a most joyless observance of Christmas until the gradual growth of Episcopal influence in sets and its association with official power, when the colony came under the direct control of the crown, brought about a relaxation of the anti-Christmas sentiment of the Puri- tans. In contrast to the Massachu- setts type of Christmas was that cele- brated in the great manor houses in Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and Maryland, especially in those days when George Washington was un- known to fame except as a prosper- ous Virginia planter. And it was this same George Wash- ington who was the central figure in what is perhaps the most historic Christmas in the annals of America. On the evening of December 25. 1776, the Continental army, led by this former Virginia planter, was drawn up for evening parade near Newtown, Penn.,, nine miles above Trenton on the Delaware river. Instead of return- ing to their quarters they were marched toward McKeakey's ferry, where Colonel Glover’s fishermen from Massachusetts bay were manning boats and trying to launch them in the river, It was a cold raw evening and a snow storm had set in. The wind was from the northeast and beat in the faces of the ragged, barefooted sol- diers, who were about to embark upon one of the most desperate enterprises in history. For Washington was plan- ning to cross the Delaware that night and lead them on a nine-mile march over snowy roads to Treuton where the Hessian troops of Celonel Rahl were celebrating Christmas with feast- ing and merrymaking. The crossing had begun at six o'clock. Washington had planned to have his entire army on the Jersey side by midnight, begin the march to Trenton by one o'clock, so that he could make his attack just at day- light. But the river ice threatened to spoil his whole program and Gates and other generals declared that the whole scheme was impossible, The iron will of Washington was not to be daunted, however, and although the crossing took no less than ten hours it was finally accomplished. Then he set out for Trenton, and after a his men leaving tracks of blood in the snow and others struggling along with their guns wet and useless, he arrived in Trenton and immediately attacked. As he had anticipated, the appear- ance of his army was a complete sur- Although the Hessians raliied | prise. and put up a stubborn resistance for a short time, the determination cf the Continentals could not be denied. Rahl, the commander, and seventy of his men were killed and 1,000 of the Hessians surrendered. So Christmas day, 1776, is a red letter day in Amer- ican history because on that day a great commander gave to his country one of the finest Christmas gifts that has ever been bestowed—a brilliant victory at a time when the cause of freedom seemed all put lost. a contemporary versemaker of Paris once said he “left his presence trick- ling all over with poetry and vibrat- ing like an Aeolian harp.” Weasel Supplies Fur Pahmi fur comes from animals of the weasel family. Their habitar is central China. The pelt is heavy, bright yellow and silky underfur, top hair grayish brown. A white line runs down the back along the :niddle from neck to tail and aleng the sides.

Walsh,) ARMER BRITTON came out of the bank with sober face. They wouldn't renew his note. And yet he had the same in- dorser The security he offered was ample. Even the cashier admitted that. The cashier also intimated, at suggestion of aaother indorser, that the bank wouldn't care to renew the note on any condition. Why? Farmer Britton was ponder- ing the question as he stum!+#ed out. The note would be due in four days and couldn't be renewed. What would that mean—foreclosure? That was what the cashier had intimated. His mind went over the three hcrses, the half-dozen cows, the sheep, pigs, and poultry, even the farm ma- chinery—but four days! All couldn't be n:ade to meet half the mortgag A finger beckoned from the post- office steps across the street, “Hello, Britton,” a voice called. “Come over here.” Then, a lower voice as the farmer drew near. on “Turned you down. too, eh? “W-what! You tried, Diggs? Your note ain't due for two weeks yet.” “I know. But I wanted to feel sure, Some monkeyin’s lately have made me uneasy—the bank president's son peekin’ round my farm for one. It started me to smellin’ a mice. No, my note couldn't ‘pos-si-bly be renewed, the cashier said, even with a better indorser than you,” grinning. “Do you reckon it's because we in- dorsed for each other?” “Not a bit. We're both good secur- | ity, so far’s that goes.” He linked his arm in that of Lis companion and noved up the sidewalk. “Fellow been peekin’ round your farm any?’ he asked. “Come to thigk, I s’pose he has,” Britton answered. “He brought his gun an’ dog along an’ asked if he could hunt quail over my fields.” “Did more lookin’ round than hunt- in mebbe?’ queried Diggs. “Asked questions, too, bout crops an’ thing “Yes,” acknowledged Britton, look- ing puzzled. “What you drivin’ at?” Diggs nodded. “Bet I've got the whole plan,” he surmised. “That bank president has the name of pushin’ hard bargains, an’ his son's tried a lot of things an’ failed. That's two. The other two are, he owns the little farm between us, which is small, an’ he's going to try his son at farmin’ next, He's been heard to say so. That's two more. | Now put the two an’ two together.” | “You mz2an he'd like to get our farms for half what they're worth— foreclosure an’ buy in?” “That's what he did with the little farm—kept mum till the mortgage was due, then jumped on the place, snap! He knows there ain't much spare money round. I've spoken to three men, any one of whom would take my mortgage over if he had the money. But he ain't. All of ’'em would be willing to indorse, but that’s no good now. Old Briggs has muzzled his cashier on that. So there you are.” “What'll we do?” “W-ell,” with a slight catch in his voice, so quickly checked that his companion did not even notice, *‘noth- in’ much, I guess, but wait. Suppose we go out on the stune 'butment of the bridge yonder an’ sit down. We can watch the thief-catchers while we talk. Look! yonder goes a bunch now, with guns an’ dogs, an’ yes, one’s swingin’ an old stove poker. What loons they are! I bet half the town’s out huntin’ that reward an’ plannin’ how to spend it.” “The robber's likely a miles from here now.” Diggs shook his head. “Don’t guess su,” he said. “The only sensible thing done was the bank telegraphin’ to all | the railroad stations round. That was | done so quick he couldn't slip out with | his heft of booty. Why, the jeweler said he took more’n twenty pounds of | { | | { | | | hundred silver out of his place alone, not to mention the dry goods an’ other stores he entered. He must be a regular city cracksman to do things up the way he did.” “Funny old Briggs ward.” “Does seem so, for a fact. An’ still, from what I hear the old fellow's pretty well scared up. Seems the rob- her took a lot of papers from the bank, some of ‘em private property of could offer a re- Briggs. Folks do say they mean a lot to him. Anyhow, he’s offered $1,800 for their return, with no questions asked. The others have run the re. | ward up to over $3.000. But they want the capture of the robber.” “Think he'll be captured?” “Not likely. It's been over a week now, an’ there's no question but the robber’s a cute one. My idea is that he’s hidin’ somewhere right now. wait- in’ for it to blow over.” They had reached the abutment of the bridge and sat down. Before them, rising in rocky, broken lines for pearly four miles io the summit, lay the mountainside, There were stretches of timber and isolated trees and groups where the rocks afforded scant rootige, Among the broken rocks were many caves and hiding places, The t¥o man studied it speculative- ly. Here and there they could see men and boys nosing about. Once or twice they heard a gun fired. Suddenty Diggs sapped a hand upon | his knee. “Where'd you hide if you was the robber, Britton?” he chuckled. Britton did not ‘answer for some time. Carefully he studied the moun- tainside, “‘Well,” he said at length, “I sure wouldn't crawl into one of them caves the townsfolks are peepin’ into an’ tryin’ to drive their dogs in. I'd want to see what was going on, so I'd know when to skip.” “My idea prezactly,” @pproved Diggs. “Now see that little «lump of fir trees way up younder near the top, ‘bout three miles?” “Course. You an’ me climbed up there once to hide from the boys, Branches so thick you couldn't see a fellow six foot off.

There are six in the group. Yes, if "twas me I'd hide my stealin’s in some hole be- low, an’ then keep a lookout from a fir top. An’ say, Britton,” the chuckle in his voice changing to a grin that broadened to his ears, “that robber’s Just as cute as you an’ me. roamed that slope since boys, an’ know what them fir trees offer. An’ I've an idea a cute robber could pick out as much with one look. My real duty is to go home an’ be patchin’ up my icehouse, but I don’t feel like do- ing a lick of work till that mortgage business is settled. An’ I guess it's just the same with you.” ' “Just the same,” feelingly. “Then what's the matter with go- ing up to the firs to see if a cute rob- ber’s mind runs in the same way as ours. I'm glad you brought that ax. It may help in an idea I'm hatchin’. An’ I've got some stout cord in my pocket. Come on.” With an appreciative grin that was a good companion to his friend's, Brit- ton rose. “I always did have a hankerin’ to play detective,” he guffawed. Half way up the slope Diggs took the ax and shaped two pieces of root to five or six inches in length, with a curve at one end. “Put one of these into your pocket, Britton,” he said. “At twenty paces they'll pass all right as revolvers, an’ under the firs will answer at close quarters, if needed.” When they reached the firs, Diggs valked about the trees, looking up at them appraisingly.

Let up, there,” came frantically from above, and not one, but two men came scrambling to the ground, They were met by the lev- eled improvised revolvers. “Throw up your hands!” Diggs or- dered sternly. “Quick!” “But we—we're only hunting for the two robbers,” sullenly, as their hands went up. “We climbed the tree to look around.” “Nobody knew there was but one,” retorted Diggs. “Don’t lower your hands.
