St. I .like 2:1 16
And it came to pass in those
days that there went out a de
cree from Censar Augustus, unit
all the world should he taxed.
(And tlii** taxing was first made
when (’jreniiis was governor of
S.v ria.i
And all went to lie taxed, every
one Into his own eitj*.
And Joseph also went up from
out of the city of Na/,-
areth. into Judea, unto the city
of David, which is called Itethle
hem; (because he was of the
house and lineage of David:) !
To he taxed with Mary bis es
poused wife, being great with
child.
Ami so if was, (hut. while they
were there, (he days were aeeom- |
plished that she should tie de- J
delivered.
Ami she brought forth her first- ]
iH.rn son, and wrapped him in j i
swaddling clothes, and laid him
in a manger; because there was |
no room tor them in the inn. r.
And there were in the same
country sheperds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their
flocks by night.
And, 10, *he angel of the Lord
came upon them, ami the glory
of the l,ord shone round about
them: and they were sore afraid.
And (he angel said unto them
l-’eor not: for, behold. 1 bring you (
good tidings of great joy, which
shall he to all people.
For unto you Is horn this day
in (he city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the l,ord.
And this shall lie a sign unto [ ,
you; Ye shall find the babe wrap- i
ped in swaddling clothes lying in ]
a manger. (
And suddenly (here was with i
the angel a multitude of the heav
enly host praising <«od, and .say
lug.
Calory io Cod in Die highest, and
on earth peace, good wiU toward
men.
And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them i
into heaven, the shepherds said
one io another, la*t us now go
evelt unto Bethlehem, 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 it, they '
mode known abroad the saying i
which was told them concerning
this child.
And all they that heard it won- (
dered at those things which were
told them by the shepherds.
Hut Mary kept :ill these things
and pondered them in her heart.
And the shepherds returned,
glorifying the praising Clod for all
Die things that they had heard
and seen, as it was told unto them.
CHRISTMAS TONIC
(Henry Van Dyke) •
I am thinking of you today because
it is-Christina#, and I wish you happi
ness, and tomorrow, because it will, be
the day after Christmas, I shall wish
you happiness; and so on. clear
through the year. 1 may not be able
to tell you about it every day, be
cause I may be far away; or because
both of us may be very busy; or per
ba.p.s I may hot. be. able to pay the
postage on so many letters or find
time to write them. But tpat makes
no difference. The thought, and the
wi-h will he here just the same. In
my work and in my business of life
J mean to try not to be unfair to you
or to injure you in any way. In
my pleasure, if wc can he together,
1 would like to share the fun with
you. Whatever joy or- success comes
to you will make me glad. Without
pretense and in plain words, good-will
to you is what I mean in the Spirit
of Christmas.
FARCY SNOWSTORM
Where has the orchard fled?
An hour ago it stood
Rooted below the red
And hillside-climbing wood.
Now hill and apple-knoll,
Bright maples and the hare
Slant trees have vanished whole, 1
Flown with the flying air!

j IS THERE A SAXTA ('LAI'S' |
1 In 1807 the New York Sun
received an inquiry from a little j
girl regarding the existence oi j
Santa Claus. Her letter was
referred to Francis P. Church, ;
a member of the editorial staft
of the Sun and the masterpiece
which we are reproducing be
low was the result. On each
Christmas since it first appear-j
od, it was found its way back
into print. If you have read it
previously, still another read-1
ing will be worth your while, ;
and if perchance it has escaped
your notice until now, we com-,
mend it to you as a from ex-:
crnplifying the true “spirit of
Christmas.” Here it is reprint
ed from the New York Sun of
September 21 1809:
“We take pleasure in answer- j
iriff at once, and thus promin
ently, the communication be
low, expressing* at the same t ime
our frreat gratification that its
author is numbered amonif the
friends of The Sun:
‘•Dear Editor—-I am 8 years old.
"Some of my little friends say
there is no Santa Claus.
"Papa says ‘lf you see it in (ho
Son it’s so.’
“Please tell me the, truth, is
there a Santa Claus?
"VIRGINIA O’HANLON.
"ll. r > West Ninety-fifth Street.’ 1
“Virginia, your little friends ;
are wrong. They have been af
fected by the skepticism of a
skeptical age. They do not be
lieve except what they see. 1
They think that nothing can be
which is not comprehensible b>'
their little finds. All minds,
Virginia whether they be men's j
or children’s little. In this ;
great universe of ours man is a
mere insect, an ant, in his intel
lect, as compared with the i
boundless world about him, as ■ i
measured by the intelligence ;
capable of grasping the whole J
truth and knowledge.
“Yes. Virginia, there is a !
Santa Claus. He exists as cer_ \
la inly as Jove and generosity i
and devotion exist, and you r
know that they abound and give c
to your life its highest beauty •
and joy. Alas! how dreary j
would be the world if there were | ,
no Santa Claus. It would be as f
dreary as if there were no Vir- t
ginias. There.would lie no child- r
like faitii then no poetry, no ro- t
mance, to make tolerable this
existence. We should have, no on- j ;
joyment, except in sense and , j
sight. The eternal light with t
which childhood fills the world i
would be extinguished. t
“Not believe in Santa Claus? <
You might as well not believe in c
fairies! You might get your
papa to hire men to watch in all ,
the chimneys on Christm&s Eve ' j
to catch Santa Claus, but even j $
if they did not sec 'Santa Claus t
coming down what would that i
prove? Nobody sees Santa''
C laus, but thut is no sign that; j
there is no Santa Claus. The «J
most real things in the world
are those neither children nor
men can see. Did you ever see
fairies dancing on the lawn? Os
course not, but that’s no proof
that they are not there. No
body can conceive or imagine |'
all the wonders that are unseen j .
and unseeable in the world. f
“You may tear asunder the j f
baby’s rattle and see what j r
makes the noise inside, but there j c
is a veil covering the unseen | j
world which not the strongest :,
man por even the united J c
strength of the strongest men j
that ever lived, could tear apart.! <
Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, 1 1
fomance. can push aside that 1
curtain and view the picture \
ithe supernatural beauty and :
| glory beyond. It is all real? Ah, ‘
; Virginia, in all this world there .
is nothing else real and abiding, j ‘
“No Santa Claus? Thank 1 i
God! He lives forever. A thou-; '
sand years from now, Virginia, '
nay ten times ten thousand 1
yeiirs from now, he will con- j,
tinue to make glad the heart of !
childhood.” ; (
Arabic poetry is said to have had
its beginning- by the men conducting
the caravans over the deseert, who
found that, their songs encourged the
camels to better going. The thud of
the camel’s feet made the basis, and
the long and short syllables of .spok
en speech completed the metre.

IRRO.
fi How was North Carolina’s first

0 What interesting powers did ihe

give the commissioners?
.Answers
1 Following the flight of Governor
Martin, the last British governor,
from the palace at New Bern in 177a,
1 a search was made of the palace
; grounds. Kegs of powder were found
buried under cabbage beds and iri
ifie cellar; large supplies of shot and
balls and other war supplies were
found buried in the garden.
2 In lDOft the board of directors
j were authorized to supply uniforms
! Us Confederate. Gray -one uniform
; each year to each of the veterans in
i ihc home. In case the veteran left
the home he could take the uniform,
or in case of death he could be buried
! in it.
3 In a complaining letter, written
from Brunswick July 2.R, 1743. to the
| Society for the Prorogation, or the
; Gospel, London, Rev. James Moir
said, “in the meantime many of the
inhabitants are affronted if I would
defer riding twenty to thirty miles to
baptize a child tho’ they have but
lately slipt the opportunity of hav
ing it done at the public Service when
performed within a few miles of their
house.”
4 To consider tho sale of the West
ern North Carolina Railroad from
Salisbury to Asheville and to secure
its completion to Murphy and Paint
Rock. The road at that time was in
operation to Gudger’s Ford, six miles
east of Asheville. The legislature con
sidered the offer of New York in
terests, and adopted a resolution to
make the sale. Governor Jarvis, John
M. Worth, Treasurer, William L.
Sanders, Secretary of State, and T. S.
Kenan, Attorney General were auth
orized to sign and transfer the deeds
to the property.
5 In 1666 North Carolina, Virginia
and Maryland agreed and adopted
acts prohibiting the growing of any
tobacco in the three colonies during
the year 1667. To inforce the provis-'
ions of the act commissioners were
to he appointed to visit the differ
ent neighborhoods and punish any
offenders "by cutting up their to
bacco."
6 The commissioners were given
authority "to regulate the speed and
pace at wTiich horses may be rode or
driven through the streets, to regulate
the building and putting up of chem
nios and stove pipes, and the mode
which fire shall be carried through
the said town, to prevent hogs from
being confined in pens and lots in
said town between the. first of June
and first of November."
"DARK ANGEL" IS COMING
TO TOWN
“The Dark Angel," Samuel Gold
wyn's gripping romantic drama, star
ring Fredric March, Merle Oberon
and Herbert Marshall, will be the
feature attraction at the Vance The
atre for two days beginning Christ
mas day.
This powerful and beaut Til love
story, set in a lovely, quiet corner of
rural England, reflects the hearts of
a woman and two men—one of whom
she loves, while the other loves her.
A great emotional climax ?s reach
ed when the men she loves comes to
a realization of his love for her. Their
happiness is short-lived, however, as
the relentless forces of life tear them
apart. Years after, when the girl has
resigned herself to a betrothal to the.
other man, a kindlier fate intervenes
and the lovers are reunited.
Sidney Franklin, who handled the
megaphone on “The Barretts of Wim
pole Street," “Smilin’ Thru” and oth
er outstanding film productions, di
rected “The Dark Angel."
Others prominent in the supporting
cast are Janet Beecher, John Halliday
Henrietta Crosmarj, Frieda lnescort,
Claude Allister, George Breakston,
David Torrence and Cora Sue Collins.
The film is released through United
Artists.
Mexico’s population is only 15 per
cent pure white.
The first mention of the name Ber

1244.

Jury Considering
Todd Love Affair
now. I’m too busy at the studio’.” I
“ ‘Well,’ she said- ‘l’m in the midst
°f the most marvelous romance I’ve
ever had with a man from San Fran
cisco who is just too grand for words".
Lupino corroborated this by-play,
’ saying it. was all in a hasty joking
way, but it raised the question for in
vestigators whether the “man from
San Francisco” was tho mysterious
escort who was to have taken the
film beauty to the Wallace Fords’
cocktail party Sunday afternoon. De
cember 15, the day before discovery
of her death
Miss Todd’s old love, Pasqnale (Pat)
di Cieco, her divorced husband, was
named by Miss Lupino. as the intend-’
ed occupant of the “vacant chs|R”
i next Io Miss Todd.
She said she met de Cicco tho
Thursday before the Trocadero party
ami he asked. “Why am 1 no! corn
ing?”
”1 told mm the party was being
given for Miss Todd and it might, be
! embarrassing” Miss Lupino recalled.
He answered, "Oh no, that, s swell.
I’ll he glad to come., and will let you
j know Friday o:- Saturday."
i The blonde actress came alone. The
) chair remained vacant through the
evening. Later- as he danced with
her, Lupino said, they encountered de j
Cicco and Margaret Lindsay, another j
film player, at another table.
As the grand jury continued its
hearing today, Foreman George W.
Rochester indicated the inquiry would
concentrate on "several unexplained
matters that the police have not cov
ered.”
The auto has revolutionized life on
the South African veld.
Until comparatively recent times
smallpox was looked upon as an un
avoidable affliction.
