..pal i-Vi l!Kr:rt',! . , ,7, OKT and low, melodi- oua, penetrating, the tones of a bell break the stillness that has fallen upon the little audience. Cowled monks step noiseless- ly to the sides of a wooden Btage and draw the curtains, Lighted candles shine brightly in contrast to the darkened atnpliltheuter. A great robed figure, august and majestic, wearing a triple rrown. moves to the fore. He is at- tended by a court who sing and dance and toss up censers until ho litis his hand. They they fall mute and the Silence Fpreads Instantly to tho peo- pie below, who had stirred and leaned rorward in the intensity of their in- terost when the curtain parted dls- closing the magnificent scene. It is t .Miracle plfly - the first Christmas Iilay -and it is singed In the cathedral of a medieval town in northern Kng- land. The prcut roln d figure is tho representation of Cod Himself. The hinders are attendant angels. Tho (scene is heaven. tloil speaks. In sonorous Latin Is disclosed the older of creation and Cod's will toward man. Monotonous ly the words roll forth, and almost endlessly it seems to the awed listen ers. I tut at last it does end and there follows a strange Interruption. ludicrous, almost sacrilegious. An "gly creature, clad In goatskins and with two rams horns on its head, capers forward, a clown, a buffoon. With strange grimaces and sinister contortions it asks and receives leave to become a curse and a plague upon men, then It departs as It came, gro 1esiue and out of place, disappearing lieneath the stage the devil going down to hell. An organ peals from out the half gloom, the angels dance mid sing and toss their censers and the first scene closes as It opened. Outside the cathedral the old town Is deserted, its streets snow-covered nnd silent. All its Inhabitants, the visitors within its gates and the peo ple from far and near around it are gathered within the cathedral to wit ness the first Christmas play. It is a solemn occasion; one meant to con vey if 3 impief-siveness and teach its lesson for a distinct purpose. The cathedral is only part finished and the artisans and craftsmen who are com pleting it will draw from tonight's production of the Miracles inspira tion for their work of decorating and carving and building. From far lands and near these workmen have gathered. Skilled men from across the seas have been hired and brought here to exercise their skillfuiness. Others have come be- cause of their love for the art they represent, anxious for an opportunity to let it speak in the scrolls nnd fig- ures nnd Images of this sacred place. Still others are there from a sense of religious duty, and yet others to do penance for their sins by manual labor in such a cause. ' All these sit within the cathedra' The Shadow of the Christmas Tree HE CHRISTMAS festival has long been a beautiful one. The celebration of the natal day of the Prophet of Feace is fit ting, and its sacred sig nificance to the nations shows no signs of abate ment. The period of glad tidings to the children properly quickens the hearts of adults at the sight of happy, guileless childhood in the midst of its simple pleasures, surrounded on all sides by the memorials of their tenderest af fections. The Joys of childhood are now the Joys of all. It Is the Christ mr.stlde! This is the season when the limits of usefulness are unmargined. No errand of mercy is neglected sympa thy blankets the unlovely forms of envy and hate. Human-kind is sweet and gentle. And yet who .could be lieve that somewhere in the sun of this apparently universal Joy there is a cloud of sorrow far larger than a man's hand? Even so it is. Ah! you say you do not wish to discover It? Perhaps not; but it is discovered by multitudes whose lives it darkens with deeper gloom from year to year. It can you believe it? is the shadow of the Christmas tree! Is it possible that the beautiful tree around whose branches dance the Joyous feet of teaming children is re sponsible for aught else than happi ness? Come with me here to the for est and ask the tiny, hungering, shiv ering forms crouching among the blackened stumps and rotting branches of the spruces, pines and cedars.

In the northern part of Wisconsin is a large lake whose waters abound In fish. In this lake there Is also a great rock which floats about In its waters. This rock is held by the Chippewa Indians as a sacred monu ment to the great Manito. Stories are told generation alter i 1 ae m fc With them are the people of the town, the hinds und yokels 6f tho lurroundlng hills, the tradesmen und craftsmen of the little village, togoth- er with their wives and sweethearts, Little children are there, half-frlght- ened at times, then merry, and again saddened by the pathos they scarcely understand. It Is a typical crowd of the time and the season, but such an one as was never before gathered. for Christmas has hitherto been cele- hrated differently In Merry England, yor days the preparations for tho Miracle play have gone forward; About the partly finished cathedral there has been no sound of hammer 0r chisel or knife. In place of the workmen busy about the building have been monks decorating the In- terior with holly boughs und yew and Christmas green. The stage has been ,mt in place, the curtain arranged and the trappings gotten into working or- der. It was pioneer work, and to our modern eyes it would seem strangely crude, but In that time it was destined to bo a marvel for many days to come. Somewhat of the grotesque again appears in the second net of tho Christmas play, but it is short, the nrst two being cnieuy proiuues to that which Is of the greatest interest and most pertinent to the season scenes portraying the coming of (n,.s -re Second act tells Of the Kail.

Still kneeling as Ga- ue torn. Finally, the curtain Is drawn for the third, and by the dim rays of a lamp Mary is disclosed. In her hum- hie cottage, spinning. She sings as she works nnd all Is quiet and peace- ful. Suddenly the light on the stage increases, a rustling is heard and a wonderful creature in white garments and with golden wings appears, bear ing a lily and crying, "Ave Maria, Gratia Fiona! " Timid and confused. Mary rises but does not answer. Ga briel comforts her and sings about his glad message. Then Mary kneels and gives thanks to God and th angel disappears, leaving the room half darkened again. Clearly and joy- fully there sounds through the church the voice of Mary singing the "Mag- nlficat." while from the audience come the sounds of women weeping as the curtain falls. Next is shown a shepherds' camp in the hills of Judea. It is wonder- fully realistic, a fact which the conn- trymen present acknowledge In low murmurs of appreciation. Heal sheep are bleating in the fold and the shep- herds lounge about talking of the day's work. The simplest things of 'heir life engross them the death of n 'ami), the whereabouts or a sheep ,hnt has disappeared. As their talk ceases and they fall asleep, soft notes issue from the hid- den organ. The stage Is darkened now nnd the scene, with the dying melodies echoing through the rnthed- ral, most Impressive.

If inclined to com plain they could tell you of desecrated heme trees, stolen granaries, devas tated shelters, their only proof from the terrible rigors of the awful winter nights, of the increasing hardships pressing upon them from all sides, and the gradual but sure depletion of their tribes. The birds may tell you of o thoughtless lack of mercy. Ask the lover of trees and he will tell you of the early passing of these his favorites of the woods. He will wonder how it can be possible unwit- tingly to strike down the growth of twenty years these trees are very slow growers and the prospective beauty of a century or more, for the very questionable enjoyment of their (lying hours for a day or a week, eVen when decorated with gifts and gaudy tinsel. He will tell you, perhaps, that at one time the use of these ever greens was the expression of a genu ine sentiment by those who loved them, but that now cupidity for easy dollars alone prompts their being traf ficked in. He will not fail to tell Stone Lake generation that this great rock was at one time the throne of the great spirit. Here he sat arid ruled the people, the animals of the forest around and the fishes of the waters of this lake.

When the curtain is again drawn there Is shown the stable at Bethle hem, the star shining above it. Mary is there, kneeling, and Joseph leans upon his staff. Before the ox and the ass is the manger, and Irt It, on the straw, clothed in Jeweled robes, lies tnp child Jesus.

Then the roval figures and their retainers join the humble shepherds, kneeling and worshiping In silence. Soft and low, then rising higher, comes again the melody of the distant angel choir, then it diminishes and dies away as the curtain closes and the lights go out. So ended the first Christmas play ever written. you of the utter disregard for and ap preciation of tree life that has taken hold of the lives of city children as a result of the method pursued In the holiday season. He may say that a trip to the woods or the planting of a tree is an entirely wholesome way of providing a Christmas tree. Giving the birds a luncheon by the children will not bo costly, and a real Christmas tree for the birds will make all happy. He may ask if you believe the Creator is pleased with the terrible sacrifice in His name. The practical farmer will tell you without the need of questioning that a very valuable line of timber is des troyed In the Christmas tree business, and that every particle of it goes to waste. His story of floods and drought, connected very properly in his mind with the disappearance of our forests, and his annual loss, adds still to the size of the cloud and re lates It directly with the very chil dren who are momentarily delighted with the glitter of the Christmas tree. Does It not look then as If when we celebrate the birth of the Prophet of Peace we are at the same time warring thoughtlessly but needlessly on His creatures? Does It not seem clear that while we are endeavoring to create beauty in the home and church we are In reality working a vast devastation out of doors? Does it not appeal to you as being true that formerly the Christmas tree was imed to decorate the home, school and church, whereas today we are making it but a peg on which to hang artificial decorations? How does the spirit of Arbor day comport with t' Christmas tree traffic? From the c nomlc standpoint as related to terity can we afford to continue t: vast Christmas tree custom? stands. This they do to celebrate the time when the Manito took his leave. They bring food and tobacco and place them on the rock so If the great spirit does not get enough to eat In the other world he comes down and gets the food that la placed by hW former subjects.

What is the psychol ogy of tho smuggler? Is he actua ted by greed? Does he love the gamo 'ur its excitement? Does he look upon !he government as so Impersonal a thing that to steal from it Is not a sin? Is the rich man Instinctively a greater muggier than the poor man, and Is the American a greater sinner than his illen brother? Theso questions surely must have Jccurred to everyone who has been watching tho extraordinary recent hap penings at the New York custom house; who has made note of the mil lionaires and their wives who have boen caught red-handed in attempts to cheat the government in the most bra ten fashion; who has read of the tre mendous frauds upon the customs per petrated by the sugar trust and other treat Importers. ' Collector Loeb has Imbued subordi nates with tho conviction that they tre not paid their salaries to help folk :heat the government. Among passen ers, at least, most of the smuggling In the old days was accomplished through collusion of subordinates in ;he customs servkv. Tho system itendlly developed through many, Jiany years, until tho sophisticated traveler knew perfectly that a ten or twenty dollar bill, laid on the top-tray jf a trunk, would, when that trunk was opened on the dock, Insure Im munity from actual search, and that Ihe money would be missing, later when the trunk was opened at hotel or lonie. A ten or twenty dollar bill so placed, in these days, would be like a ipark to set a whole train of official jowder burning a train of powder which would lead to an explosion be Plundering a City's Philanthropists PITTSBURG, PA'. "So-called 'Phil anthropy' has become one of the leading crimes of Pittsburg a crime to which we have found it necessary to apply heroic treatment." Peter Pry Shevlin, a Pittsburg de tective, who has been given the task of running down "Philanthropic crooks" in Pittsburg, made this re mark: "The good people of Pittsburg are virtually sandbagged each year out of more than enough to keep our poor in luxury," he continued, "and yet of sach dollar given through the honest philanthropic promoter only about forty ce- of it reaches the point for which It was intended. As for the dishonest promoter who is now festing Pittsburg well, he gets it : and in most cases conies back w n expense account to collect a:: collects it." It has been proved that a man with & good suit of clothes and a good ad dress can, by gaining an audience with some of the social leaders in Pittsburg and getting a name or so signed to a paper, start out and col lect from $1,000 to $10,000 with little trouble.

These laws were orig inally aimed solely at racing, but amendments and changes were made until now it is hazardous to offer to make a wager by word of mouth. While there can be no wager unless there are two persons to the transac tion, but if the offer Is made and ac cepted, though no money be passed, tho law is violated. Directors and managers of race tracks are made liable for any viola tions that may occur within their grounds. Just as long as the blame was not fixed on them directly they were willing to race, and those desir ing to bet on the races could find ways of their own to evade the law. II II I 1 1 It HT. Bent Pin Upsets Dignity of the Court ST. LOUIS. Judge William Jeffer son Pollard of the Dayton street po lice court is sore as a result of the action of an undiscovered enemy who wounded his dignity and nether limbs by inserting a bent pin into his an atomy while he was sitting on the bench. The bent pin was fastened In a board underneath the ' desk under which he stretched his lags. The Judge, after hearing a case on '.rial, -started to cross his legs, pre liminary to launching his Judicial dic tum, when an explosive "Ouch!" from n feci m yond doubt. It might blow the culprit into Jail; 11 certainly would blow a heavy Una out of his pocket. Dozens of explosions have occurred of lato and it Is, In a way, rerrciihluu to run through tho list of victims al though, of 'course, this also has Its mel ancholy uspect. The rich smuggler get no more mercy thnn the poor one and tho rmuggler ofUnor is rich than poor. "In numerical proportion do you catch as many smugglers among steer age passengers ss among travelers In the first cabin?" the Tigorous collector was asked. "No," he said. "I don't believe we do." "What Is the psychology of that?" "1 haven't thought It out," said ha a little hesitantly. "It would be Inter estlng, though. Perhaps the fact that one has money makes him nervier That may be it." "The average of human honesty la very hlgli. Newspaper renders ar likely to go wrong In thinking nbout that. You see there Is no mention made In newspapers of the ten thou sand passengers who come Into tbls nort and make completely honest dec larations of their baggage; there Is not the slightest comment on the one hundred thousand business men who continually import material without effort at evasion. Only the crooks whom we manage o detect attract at tention. That's one trpuble with this world. No reporter dashes down here with his pencil nnd his pad, his fin gers eager to record tho fact that no dishonesty has been discovered nmong the passengers of an Incoming ship. Not a Smuggler Caught' would be a tiresome headline, possibly, to most newspaper readers." "Are you getting all the smugglers nowadays?" He answered without hesitation. "There is very little smuggling at thin port which we do not discover. No; I don't believe we miss so very much. gets depends largely on the naturo of the scheme. The first of the alleged high-class philanthropic crooks to be taken In by the Pittsburg police through Shevlin's work is one named Silver man, who, it is alleged by the police, has already cleaned up $25,000 through the laxness of nethod in giving, by the rich of Pittsburg. Silverman has been in tho toils in Pittsburg at least twenty times, but each time, until the present, he has been helped out by very rich relatives of bis wife. Now the postal authorities have him. Detective Shevlin went to arrest him some days since. The detective grabbed Silverman, put his stenogra phers out of the offices, locked the rooms, and proceeded with the indig nant Silverman to the police station, where he registered as a "philan thropic promoter." Shevlin then rushed back to open up the rooms and get what data be could from the books. In his absence the mail carrier had come to the of fice of Silverman, and not being able t gain entrance, bad shoved under ie doors letters containing checks to the amount of more than $1,000. And this from but one trip of the mailman! The police claim Silverman Is but one qf the gang that has b"en In the habit of collecting an aggregate of $1,000,000 per year out ot rich people In Pittsburg on the "charity game," then not turning over anything, or at least a small percentage, to charity. I The fixing of the.liabillty on the race track directors themselves put things in an entirely different light The laws apparently leave no loop hole and several of the poolrooms and handbook men, who have done a thriving business in New York, have put up the shutters and others have Intimated that they will make no further fight for a play when It may mean arrest and a Jail term. If any plan has been devised to evade the law it is not generally known. Of course there are many who will con tinue to bet as they have before, but the handbook men are looking for new customers. There Is fear and tremb ling all along the line. Though horse racing Is a favorite medium for bettors, there is another sport that will feel the effects of the new law. It is boxing. At all of the club affairs there has been plenty of bets made on the result, and It has been the custom to make them openly. Now it will have to be done under cover, and then In violation of the law. "Orally or otherwise," as the law reads, puts up the bars Just about ax tightly as could be imagined. the Judicial lips startled the crowded courtroom and stopped the proceed ings. The Judge quickly uncrossed his legs and tenderly rubbed the right one, while a pained and indignant ex pression possessed his features. He stooped underneath the desk and arose a moment later with a bent pin In his hands, which he held up for Inspec tion. J "This thing has to stop!" he, thun dered. "This Is not the first time 1 have been similarly outraged, and If It is not stopped I will demand a search ing police investigation. I have a very strong suspicion of the identity of the person responsible for It, and I pro pose to make it hot for him If my sus picions are confirmed." Judge Pollard would not tell who it is he suspects of the Joke. He says he Is not thin 'skinned, but he does draw the line at such pointed attacks PERFUME FAVORED BY QUEENS Rovsl Family of EnaUnd Remain Faithful o "Ess Bouquet" Cisr Ins Is Fond of Whits Violet.
