Christmas ere! And a blustery
night—
Snow-Curries almost blinding the
sight;
Eddying winds shift to and fro
And toss from the chimneys smoke
clouds low.
On the street is heard a noisy throng
Of pleasure-bent shoppers, hurrying
along.
Laden with bundles aad baskets and
toys
To gladden the hearts of girls and
boys
Let the wintry winds moan on. and
sigh
Through the forests, and sing their
lullaby;
Neath holiy-w realted branch and
mistletoe
1 rest and sleep while the tempests
blow.
CLr:stn as ere’ And the sound of bell.
Yuiet:ue harmonies, break and swell.
And sing of a Babe in Bethlehem.
Born in a manger—Saviour of men!

; How December 25 Has ;
J Chosen
....»■»..
How many people know why Christ
mas came to fall on December 25?
Everybody knows that it is the day
celebrated alike by the Catholic. Prot
estant and Greek churches as the na
tivity of Christ, yet nobody knows if
it is the actual date.
The uncertainty is due to the preju
dice of early Christians against the
celebrations of birthdays. They re
garded such a custom as heathenish,
and made no exception, even to the
Savior's birthday.
It was not until Christianity had
triumphed, three centuries later, that
the prejudice against the observance
of birthdays died out. and an investi
gation as to the date of Christ’s birth
day was begun.
Julius, pope or bishop of Rome,
asked St. Cyril in 38G to ascertain the
real anniversary of the nativity. St.
Cyril reported the date tc he Decem
ber 25. to the best of his knowledge,
after extensive research, and the date
w-as accepted by Julius and promul
gated as the anniversary of Christ's
birth Before the end of the fifth cen
tury the date was accepted by ail
Christendom.
January 6. April 20. March 20 and
March 2S are some of the dates that
were serious contenders for the dis
tinction before December 25 received
the seal of Julius' approval.
Even after the date was generally
accepted by all Christian rations the
holiday had its struggles The Eng
lish roundhead parliament of IC.-i"
abolished Christmas and for 12 years
it was not observed in England. Roy
alty gained the ascendency, however,
and Christinas was re-estahlished as
a national holiday.
Governor Pradforl of Plymouth. In
1T21, history says, had occasion to re
buke some young men who hr.d come
over in the ship Fortune, following in
the trail of the Mayflower, because
their consciences would not allow
them to work on Christmas, with their
sterner Puritan brothers.
In 1C59 the genera! court of Massa
chusetts • assed a law fixing a fine of
five shillings against anyone who

When Annette Kell-, rn-.an the nndis

1 was the prophet without honor in

I made good there, pitching, catching
and playing both in and outfield, but
the trouble was the team failed just
about the time l was making good and
1 had to start all over again.
The next team I was with I did not
do so well. In fact 1 cou’d not play
much ball, because they wouldn't play

In fact 1 have found in my own ex

MAN WHO HELPS HIS BROTHER
His “Bays" Call Him the “General Ad
viser Without Pay“—He Is
Partial to None.
When a man lcves to live he u
iy can go among men who care lii ^
whether they live or not uni do good
Such a man is Augustus E Vaug' ’
Immaculate of dress and of heart v ■
erahle in years and usefulness, who"
one may see almost any day eith*'" on
Boston Common or at the You* v
Men's Christian Union.
His specialty is helping Ms ' '■*
and discouraged brother, wbeth fc*
■ be a cigarette smoking boy or a r
sodden and disheartened derelic• r' •„
nian. His creed is cheerfulness
his passion is books.
Often one may see him. ta’.i ..rtd
straight. faultier^-! v attired in a f* v-i
coat. with his Sowing white beard a:
his long and carefully trimmed whi>
! locks, standing with or sitting b" J*
; some ragged and unkempt victim of
| circumstances who has sought the on>
place where the police will not tel'
him to move oa the Coin men. and
then one is ~^re to be struck by th*
| contrast Many a man he has me
, there has lattr become as cle..:i '
; body and heart as himself, and a’
through his ir.'ectious good nature and
brotherly comrade-tie.
Among the younger mfn with who
this old young man of 75 unceasing
labors he is known as "the gene*
adviser without pay." and he is as It,
tcrested in thele ambitions as ■
can be. and so you’hful is he in th-’*
presence that he is always cue «■*
them.
Mr. \aughan is not ertrjged in
five business this summer, but I
ccmes to Boston every day rain • •
shine, to talk with his ••boys." as l~
calls them. Some oj these have r-v.*
before known a real friend. He i»
highly educated, and courts among
friends many college presidents a- -1
professors.
He was born in Middleboro, era* y
seventy-five years ago, and tracer h -
lineage back to Peregrine White ‘
Mayflower fame.
“I lore to live," said he to me. "a; 1
I want to help “the boys' to enjoy ' ' -
irg too.’
