The Heavenly Song at
Merry Christmas Time
Phlletus Phone was a lover of
music, but he had his limitations.
His collection of records repre
sented his taste, but also the taste
o f the young masters.
His piano
rolls embrace all the jazz varia
tions without due attention to har
mony. The wave lengths of his
radio set were too short.
It has been said that all the heav
enly orbs sing in their motions, but
Philetus had never heard them,
even in imagination. His ears were
long, hut they had never reached
that far. There were conceptions
so delicately beautiful that they
could not get Into his mind. He
had been heard to say that the story
of the Christmas song was doubt
less an oriental Invention. Had
1 •» been among those wondering
Bethlehem shepherds it* is prob
able that he would have neither
heard nor seen anything that night.
So the Christmas singing was
too high for Philetus. He spent
Christmas Eve with a fox trot and
a giddy whirl, but the carols went
over him and passed him by. In
the splendid church great organ
harmonies .swept up to meet the
moonlit benediction of the starry
heavens, carrying rapt souls to
heights of fuller vision of the glo
rious gladness of the Christmas
time, but Philetus was itr bed.
A mere lad, however, rejoicing in
his new radio set that night, tuned
in, saying: “Give me Heaven”—
and got it!—Christopher G. Haz
ard.

As Two Aged Men Saw
BIG POWDER BLAST
Approaching Yuletide
I was feeding the pigeons at the
end of one of the park benches
when two old men sat down. One,
ruddy-cheeked and jolly looking,
made me think of a winesap apple;
the other, thin, dyspeptic, and with
a frown between his eyes.
“Well, sir, almost Christmas!”
began the ruddy one cheerfully.
“Funny how a body can begin to
feel it in the air this time of year.”
“Don’t believe in Christmas!”
snapped the other crossly.
“What about gifts?” asked his
friend. “How do you get around
them?”
“Don’t believe in this swapping
of presents, either.”
“And Christmas trees and chil
dren—can't very well wipe them off
tlie face of the earth.”
“Don’t believe in any of that hul
labaloo about Christmas—what's it
all amount to?”
“Well, John,” said his friend, “you
are losing a lot, I can tell you
that, and I'm glad you are not my
grandfather. If you don’t look out
you’ll get old ; yes, sir—o ld ! Why,
you haven’t left yourself anything
but the Monroe D octrine! Back

to each other than they do at any

are the Three Wise Men, and the

not, I reckon we'll go ou gettiug

Lost and Found While
Christmas Shopping
Little Marie, jostled from one side
to the other of the pavement by tlie
hurrying Christmas shoppers, be
came suddenly panicky. What If she
would never, never see her mamma
again? How, in all that mob of
hurrying, brusque people could she
ever find her? The streets and side
walks were a black mud color from
tlie snow trampled down by the
thousands of people and vehicles
passing over them. What if she
should slip and fall and cover her
self with that dirty slush? No one
would ever recognize her. She
would be lost; she w oull have to
walk the streets like this forever
and ever—oh ! o li! Two large tears
trickled down her cheeks and a
great sob shook her little frame.
A large-nosed Santa Claus In a red
flannel suit grinned at her and
shook a little tin cup which tinkled
with many coins. On tlie corner a
small group of blind beggars were
singing Christmas carols in cracked,
ugly voices. Marie stopped in front
of them, watched them for a while,
then suddenly remembering her
loneliness, burst into a loud shriek.
Several people stopped pityingly
and inquired her name and where
she lived, but she could not tel!
them, for tlie sobs were choking her
throat.
A large, excited lady pushed her
way through the crowd. “M arie! Oh,
mamma thought you were lo st!”
The woman swept the little girl off
her feet, clutching her eagerly.
Marie held on to her most tightly,
but continued to fry with bitterness.
It was a way of relieving her feel-
1 ings, and so comforting to have dear
mother’s shoulder to cry on. O h !
oh! it was going to be a glorious
Christmas after all!—Marlon R.
Reagan.
