AROLS were originally ac­
companied with a dance, and
this carol dancing la part of
the rhythmic movement of
the Oberummergnu play, as
well as of the dances of the
Shakers of Lebanon In New
J York state.
The first Christmas carol
In history Is the “Gloria In Excelsls"
found hi the Roman mass, and In the
Episcopal Book of Common Prayer. It
Is ascribed to Te'esphorus, bishop of
Rome, about the year A. D. i:i9, and
Is common In both the eastern and
western churches.
An old English carol begins with ths
.»otable words:
Behold a simple, tender babe
in freezing winter night,
in homely manger trembling Ilea,
Alaa, a plteoue sight
The “higher critics” have lyonderod
how the shepherds could watch their
flocks by night, even In winter In
Judea, but this presented no difficulty
to Roliert Southwell, the author of thia
quaint carol, who ns a Jesuit was Im­
prisoned In the Tower of London, nnd.
after enduring the tortures of the ruck,
was executed In 1591.
A popular carol among the Germans
Is one wrllten by Martin Luther for
his little son linns. It begins:
From the highest heaven 1 come to tall
The gladdest news which e'er befell.
A very mid story Is told In connec­
tion with this carol. In order to give
It renll.tlc effect In a certain Luther­
an church It used to be sung by a boy
let down from the roof of the church
dressed ns an angel. But one day the
rope broke, and the boy wns killed.
i This
put nn mid to o very beautiful but
dangerous Christmas custom.
At a time when the llturxlcal and
biblical pla.vs were popular the
Christmas carol was an Important
feature. In Italy In the time of St.
Francl) of Assisi, In order to Instruct
the people, the villagers came to the
rhurch carrying lighted torches, and
there they saw the kcene of the man­
ger filled with hay, and the ox nnd ass
Handing In their places near the
Virgin nnd Child. Then It wns thnt
St. Francis and his friars stood by the
manger all night long, giving God
thanks that by this means the hearts
of the people hod been touched.
"Rare old Ben Jonson." tn the days
of the ’’Good Queen Bess," wrote a
enrol which begins "I sing the Birth
was bom tonight.” And about that time
appeared a very popular carol which
Is sung In “Merrle England” even to
the present day, the first line of which
Is “God rest you. merrle gentlemen."
Some old Christmas carols have come
down to us In half Latin and half
English. Among them Is a carol which
appears In the collection for Grace
church, New York city:
When Christ was born of pure Marie
In Bethlehem, that fair cltle,
Angele sang with mirth and glee
tn Exeelala Gloria.
«In this "Grace collection" theie Is a
carol commencing “Over the world on
Christmas morn," by Dr. Mackay
Smith.

HISTORIC WARSHIPS ON BLOCK
Fifteen Vessels of Our Old Navy to
.
Be Sold Soon.
Fifteen ships of the old navy wiU
be put on the auction block soon. It
was announced by the Navy depart­
ment. Several of them helped to make
American history, among them being
the cruiser Brooklyn, flngshlp of Rear
Admiral William S. Sehley during the
battle of Santiago. Others are the
cruiser Columbia, which In her prime
was one of the fastest ships on the
sea; the battleship Maine, which re­
placed the battleship of that name de­
stroyed In Havana harbor; the battle­
ship Missouri. launched In 1901; the
cruiser Memphis, now a wreck on the
San Dominican coast, and the torpedo
boat Dale, which recently has been
known as the Oriole while serving ns
headquarters of the Baltimore naval
militia.
Four monitors on the list are the
Mlnatonomah, built In 1802: the Ozark,
formerly the Arkansas, and the Puri­
tan, both of which have served ns
naval militia ships at Washington, nnd
the Tonopah.
Other ships are the Intrepid, a steel
training ship rigged as a Bailing craft;
the Galatea nnd the Vega, stenin
yachts used as patrol craft In the
World war; the freighter Surprise nnd
the destroyer Smith, built In 1900.

Would Look Absurd.”
for little girls. But It Is different
with King l.lon. Imagine me wear­
ing a hair ribbon ’
•'I wouldn't do It because It would
be beneuth my dignity, and iay dig­
nity Is very great. I would look ab­
surd with a hair ribbon on iny inane,
and so 1 won't wear u hair ribbon.
“Then l'jl look as though I were go­
ing to a party und lions don't go lo
parties. They're never invited. They
might eat up the guests, and at par­
ties Unit Is never done.
“Food is eaten at parties, hut the
guests are not eaten. At least, they're
not euten at the parties, I’ve heard
the children s|>eak of, and I think the
parties sound very dull.
“I never get Invitations to parties,
I hear the children talk of pa rties
right before my face, but they never
ask me.
“Now 1 should think It would be
nice if they would send me an invita­
tion which would rend something like
this:
“‘The ahlldren Invite King Lion to
a party tliey're having next Thursday
afternoon, from three until six. He
may come In his everyday clothes and
he may do just as he pleases. The
guests will be quite willing, In fact,
they will be honored, to be eaten by
King Lion.'
"That would be a nice sort of an In­
vitation, but I never have had one like
It. and I don't suppose I ever will.
“Children are such curious crea­
tures that they don't know enough to
invite a nice lion to their party. Why,
they should feel flattered If a King
Lion ate them up. They should feel
flattered. Indeed.
"Boys wear suits and girls wear |
dresses, and they all look very dressed
up. But they cannot look ns hand-
some as Kiug Llon, no matter what
shops they go to to get their clothes,
"Ah no, not only am I a wild ani­
mal, nnd I never have to fuss about
my looks either.
"I don't have to stand before a mir­
ror to see if my tie Is on straight, or
my hair ribbon looks well. I just nat­
urally am handsome and well-dressed
without any fussing.
"But oh, when I hear people speak
ami their voices are so low and so
quiet. 1 say to myself:
“ 'Roar, King l.lon, and show them
that you're not afraid to speak out.
Roar and show them what a voice
really can be like.'
"And after I have told myself to
do this, I do It, and my voice Is a won­
derful voice. It does what I expect
ft to do,
"Yes, I roar and I look very wild
nnd the children all tremble a bit, as
they should, for I am King Lion, I
am."

Teacher—Willie, why Is It you don't
