when all through tho flat Not a creature Is stirring, not even a rat. Tho stocking are hung on iho heater with care. In hopes that SL Nicholas soon will be there. The children, tired out with a day's noisy labors. Are enjoying a respite and so are the neighbors.

Ma in a khnona. I in vny pajamas. Are snoozing away In the folding piano. When out on the pavement I hear uch-a clatter That I spring to the window to seo what's tho matter. Tho moon on tho plies of John Woodbury" snow Gives the lustre of midday to objects below.

And I seo sleeping quietly In the street A policeman In uniform, still on the beat. While an old man in furs, with an automobubble Is I judge from the noises. In serious trouble. For flat on his back underneath his machine. In a thick cloud of smoke with a smell of gasoline.

He Is turning and twisting and hammering away Like the boUer shop man In the heat of tho fray. At last ho. has finished, and. farm In his seat. He turns his machine loose and tears up the street.

Such puffing and snorting, such blasts of tho horn, never have listened to elnce I was born I 'Cross the street, back and forth, like a comet he flashes. And all that comes Into his orbit he smashes. The policeman awakes and cries, "Hey, stop yer speeding!" But the man in the auto files on. without heeding. And seel In lees time, than It takes for the telling He Is scaling the walls of our twelve-story dwelling! There's the sound of a crash and the falling of plaster That shatters the nerves with a tale of disaster.

And I shout, "To the rear of the flat, and be quick. For the automoblllat is surely St, Nlckl" And there on the fire-escape later we find him With his bag; full of toys In a big heap just behind him. And he says to my youngest, whose first name Is Johnny, Tou may not have guessed, but I'm Santa Claus, sonny. My eyes were once twinkling, my dimples how merry I My cheeks were like rosea, my mouth like a cherryl I had a broad face and little round belly. That shook when I laughed like a bowl furl of Jelly.

But to be up-to-date I acquired this machine. And now I've grown cranky and ianky and lean. For there's always so much to be done to the gearing And I have auch a terrible time with the steering In short, the old bubble' gives me such a pain, dear. That I think I shall have to go back to my reindeer." at Ticket Office for permanent Beservations PRICES Daily Mat. except Sunday Three performances daily.

jftjenzer SAVIOUR'S BIRTH TOLD IN VERSE AND PKOSE. THOUGHTS OF CHRISTMAS Famous Poets Recite the Beautiful Christian Story Luther's Words Sung on tho Dresden Dome at tho Dawn of Day. At Christmas tide the epea hand Scatter tta bounty o'er aad land. And Don la laft to grieve alone. For love Is heaven and claims tta owa.

If this were only true! Unfortunately It is not true; it is poetlo license. Of course it Is true to a degree, but the degree is far too small to be measurable. It ts unfortunately true-, too true, that while there is great beauty In tho actual celebration of Christmas Day the idea, of Its true celebration Is one which the poets have given us and which the world has never been good enough to follow. The world owes to the poets a vast debt of gratitude tor its Christmas Ideal, which. If tho debt were met in full, would make tho world anew.

Whlttler, In his Christmas Carmen, has suggested K. He wrote: Blow bualaa of battle, the marchea peae. Eaat. aorta, west and south, let th lens quarrel ceaae; Slav the aotf of (real lor that the busies began; Sins of glory to God and good will to man; Hark. Joining In cfaorua.

The heaveae bend o'er The dark night Is ending, the dawa baa began. Inspiration of he Posts. Nor is there an end to the thought of Christmas peace and good will It Is a thought which has been the Inspiration of tho poets for generation after generation, and if the poets of this century have found no sweeter expression of it than was found centuries ago it Is at least comforting to human-ltv to think that the world has come nearer with each year to the practical demonstration of It. Not to believe that this Is so would be to believe In nothing, particularly not In the Christian doctrine which must accompany the celebration of the church festival. Phoebe Caxy expressed the Christmas Idea thus: Thl happy day, whoee risen un Shall set not through eternity, ThU holy day.

when Chrlet, the Lord. Took on him our humanity. For little children, everywhere, A. Joyous aeaaoa till we make. We bring our precious glfte to them, Evea for the dear child Jeeus' sake.

And what is more expressive of the religious thought of the day than these lines of H. H. JJoyesen: The dawa of Chrtat la beaming SUaatngs through the newborn world. The Germans have always been a religious people, to whom the Christmas Day brought "a dominant religious thought. They have never forgotten to make that feature prevail through out theday.

Every nome nas iw Christmas tree and every child its gift, yet tho tree and the presents and the dinner which follows them never overwhelm the reason for the feast, and the story of Christ's coming Into tho world Is regiested with each holiday. Some of tho best Christmas verses written bv the Germans are tho little songs arranged by Martin Luther, the great religious leader for his own children. Here Is ono of the best of these" songs, and one which has been sung by the children tnrougnou uer-many year after year and. which is mora popular to-day than It was ever In Luther's time. The song begins: To you this night la born a child.

Of Mary, choeen mother mild; Thla little child of lowly birth Shall be the Joy of all the earth. Tie Chrlet our Ood. who far on high. Hath heard our aad and bitter cry. Htmeelf will your aalvatlon be.

Himself from aln will make you free. Ah. Ixird who hath created all. How haat thou made the weak and mail. That thou muat chooae thy Infant bed Where aaa and ox but lately fed.

Ah. dearest Jeaua. holy child. Make thee a bed aoft. undented.

Within my heart, that It may be A quiet, chamber kept for thee. There Is an old German custom which still survives of singing this from the dome of the Kreuzklrche in Dresden. Before daybreak on Christmas morning the words ring out from the church, to be taken up by all the childish voices in the city. The finest singers of the country are chosen for this task and many people are up to hoar the music and repeat it. The streets about the church are crowded.

The closing stanza of the song runs thus: All thla for ua thy love hath done. By thla to thee our love la won. rot tnia our jovtui eon ire we raise; For thla we atnar thee praJae, llawelttjaa, Msny Verses by Tennyson. Ird Tennyson wrote innumersble Christmas verses. Indeed, was said that he never missed a year without his poem for Christmas time.

In his "In Memorlam" he wrote: Anln at Chflatmaa did we wear The hotly around the Chrlatmaa hearta; The ellent enow poseeesed the earth. And Soott in his well-known "Mar-mlon" has referred to the Christmas time with these lines Heap en mor wood, the wind la chill; Put let It whistle aa It will. We'll keep our Chrletntaa merry etllt. Washington Irving In his matter-of-fact phraseology has said some not. at all matter-of-fact things and said them as only he could.

He begins: "Amidst the general call for happiness, tho bustle of spirits, the stir of the affections which prevail at this period what bosom can remain insensible? It Is. Indeed, tho season of regenerated feeling, the season for kindling not merely the fire of hospi- tHt-v in the, TaalL but the genial flame of charity in the heart: the scene of early love again rises green in memory beyond the sterile waste of years, and tho idea or nome. rraugnt wun me rra-grance of home-swelling Joys, reani mates the drooping spirit, as tne Arab ian breexe will sometimes waft the freshness of the distant fields to 'the weary pilgrim of the desert."

CANDLES SUIT MAJORITY Institution Whieh the Uttls Folks so Much Ptsasur Ostos From Dim Post of Psgsn Times How to Trim It- The Christmas treo Is ono of th oldest of modem Institutions. It goes away back: before tho christian era into tho dim past of paean times nci been an indispensable feature of Christmas for many centuries. But the Christmas tree of 107 Is coin: to be like nothing the world has ever Men before. It will bloom with electric lights. Instead of candles, and with all sorts of gorgeous and wonderful things hardly dreamed of until a few years aio outside of fairyland.

Birds and butterflies. In plunimage more brilliant than nature ever produced, will perch on Its boughs; fairies will haunt It and angels hover over 1L Its native gloom will, be "kindled at the tips." like the yew of Mem-orlam" with flowers of silver and gold, and fruits and vegetables of unlimited quantity and variety will grow to defiance of natural laws, upon its branches. Variety of Ornsments. The Increasing possibilities of paper and glass nave tea 10 a frtmi multiplication in the variety of Christmas tree ornaments this year. Glass balls, to be used singly and In clusters are shown In all the tint of the rainbow and glass birds, whether they pose as canaries or geese, are equally brilliant.

Some of these birds have wings that flutter with the least motion, some are attached to the ree by meaaia of a rubber elastic, so they ap- pear to be hovering In the air, and some have tails of real feathers, which give them a truly extraordinary appearance. The butterflies are made of velvet and the fruits and vegetables are of cotton, silk or waxed paper. Yet. In spite of all these glories, many families still prefer the old fashioned Christmas tree, with Us strings of popcorn, its rosy cheeked apples and Its Christmas candles, which. If somewhat dangerous and not so brilliant as electricity, are yet hallowed by associations that the electric bulb must- forever" be without.

"It was so beautiful that 'most said a tiny maiden In describing such a- tree and the modern tree, with all Its glories, could have elicited no warmer expression of Old Treo Mora Trouble. The old fashioned Christmas tree may be a little more trouble than the modern one. but when the Christmas spirit Is abroad, no one minds that and employment may be found for many pleasant evenings In the popping and stringing of red and white popcorn the making of candy bags In the shape of hearts and stockings, the polishing of apples, the making of gingerbread men with red flannel mouths and black bead eyes, and the manufacture of a whole menagerie of animals from ginger cookies. Tho candles may be bought with a little contrivance at the lower end. by which they can be, fastened without least trouble to the branches, and If the tips of the treo are dipped in alum before it Is set up, they will gutter when the tree Is lighted with very satisfactory Imitation of frost Coarse salt sprinkled over the trei gives the same effect, and cotton wool may be used for snow.

It Is getting along about the time when the children are listening for the sleigh bell and the fearfully con- cotton batting snow scenes are already appearing In the shop windows. It Is a grave and serious matter this buying of presents, particularly when one Is even now worryfXg over one's coal bills and the necessity of paying for the winter clothing of the family. It seems sort of foolish to you you who have been putting forth your best efforts through the year to make both ends meet, and cheerfully going down Into your pockets when a birth day party came around. The old charm of the Christmas tree was long ago tost on you. Holidays dont mean as much as they used.

Perhaps, Mr. Business Msn this Isn't an accusation, but a supposition perhaps the more successful you have been the less the season appeals to you. Business matters have taken such a hold on you that you do not seem to be able to bring yourself in to the proper spirit ror the holiday a The repeated exchanging of appar ently useless gifts may strike you as arrant foolishness. Perhaps you have been receiving gold headed canes from your wife purchased from the money you have given per ror household expense. per- imps the blue plush manicure set which the children gave you last year did not strike your collection of per sonal property.

It Is only natural that you should feel that way now and then. But you are wrong. Supposing It is true that you have no use for gold-headed canes and blue-plush manicure sets. Thtnk of the figuring the wife did to save that cane from the grocery bllL Think of the pride the children took In select ing at blue-plush box for papa. AVouUl you deny them that pleasure? certainty not.

And If they happen to give credit to a mythical Santa Claus for the gifts with which you shower- on them you should not allow your jealousy of tnis nctttioua personage to take away tne joy or giving.

"One great plot ot fun." Is what the Red Book magasine called "Seven Days." adding, "it contain every element of uncommonly good entertainment," The production of "St. Elmo." which will be seen at the Oliver opera house to-morrow afternoon and evening, is said to be one of the best shown In years. The dramatic version of the book has been made by Edwin Hartford, who has adhered as closely to the story contained in Mrs. Augusta J. Evans' famous novel.

"This Man and This Woman" played to an audience composed mainly of newspaer deadheads and ushers at tho Oliver opera house last night. Avery Hopwood, who la responsible for the piece, conceived an extraordinarily unique, not to say startling, plot, but failed to Inject sufficient action Into the play. In two or three Isolated Instances there are situations that create Interest, but even the edge of these Is dulled by the dragging Intervals that accompany. The story tells of the disillusionment of a young governess in the family of a rich man and of her forcing, at pistol point, tho son of her employer to wed her that she might not alone be compelled to pay the coot of their folly. Her erstwhile love having turned to hate, she leaves her unwilling husband Immediately following the ceremony, six years are supposed to elapse ere the thread of the tale is resumed.
