CHRISTMAS MASS fCONTLNDET) FROM PAGE ONE) Thus musing. Bethldieiu. Christ mas becomes preeminently n feast of the heart. There Is never a church so por but has its bed of straw, Its Bellilehem scene, to set the heart rejoicing: there Is never a Christian so proud but kneels in simplicity to do honor to the Bahn of Bethlehem, and becomes childlike in the presence infinite power putting off hl# majesty and becoming in all thongs save kin. like unto us. Eager to experience the gentle delights of Christmas, and zealous to pour out a generous devotion to the Milker of this glorious feast. "When o'er the town the early morning peal was flung From yon tall belfry with its brazen tongue, Its wide vibrations, wafted by the gale. To each far listener to toll the Christmas tale,” . hundreds of the members of the Pt. Mary's Catholic church as also many who claim an allegiance to the Cath>lic faith, hastened to that hallowed place where it was so easy and natiral to pay homage to the new-born King. At the early hour of five dark forms in whose bosoms boat hearts overflowing with the season's benevolence. rushed in from all sides, to consecreate their holiest affections, to express their humblest emotions of love, kindness and sympathy, al! knowing only too well that the impressiveness of the ceremonies that may be witness in every church on Christmas morn, touching the soul to Vis depths and filling it with inexplicable happiness, will awaken these emotions. So responsive to the demands of the human heart, the rich Christmas ceremonial of the Catholic church made the church a scene of splendor. The sanctuary was a unit of hundreds of flaming lights checkered with a multitude of blooming flowers on the altars. Prettily nestled to its side was the crib of Bethlehem, standing quite alone, yet forming an intimate part of the whole, its tiny lights gleaming fronj a dozen Christmas trees, giving no more light than was necessary faintly to see the stable with its Babe, the other sacred persons and the few shepherds with their sheep in the valley below—all arranged .so as to picture vividly the reality of the quiet and silence of Bethlehem’s great and holy night. Scarcely had the last vibration of the steeple’s throat died on the night air. the church new crowded to its very doors and silence reigning supreme in the beautifhlly lighted scene, than the joyful strains of almost celestial music to the melody of "‘Silent Night.” fell quietly, almost inaudibly upon the ear of the dense volume of Christmas worshipers. It seemed as if cnerubs had swept down from heaven once more upon the fair plains about Bethlehem to proclaim glory to God on high and peace on earth to men of good will. In the meantime the i little altar boys, all donned in their richest Christmas garb, reverently walking by two. began to fill the sanctuary. Immediately after them came Rev. Father Seimetz as celebrant. Rev. Father Knapke as deacon, and Rev. Kroeger as .sub-deacon of the mass to be celebrated. The first Christmas mass had now begun. Everything that, entered into the celebration of this mass, the .shimmering green and gold wonder of flowers and ' lights, the reverential movements of the altar boys, the inspirational music of the choir and the eloquent sermon of Father Seimetz who, taking tor his main idea the message of peace delivered to the world by the angels on Christmas night with which he developed the thought that toward | obtaining peace, individual, national and international peace, good will among men was the essential condition, all conspired to enshrine in the hearts of ali present true, genuine Christian devotion. At this mass more limn 750 communions were distributed. Garnering the beauties of this early Christmas service into his heart there is surely no one who will ! sav that he does not feel the happier and the better toward himself, his | fellow-man, his God for having attended the first Christmas masses on I Christmas morning.

Every priest enjoys the privilege of saying these masses on Christmas day. The first mass is offered up in mencry of the birth of Christ as man, ard for; this reason the gospel mentioning the edict of Agustus that all the inhabitants of the Roman empire should be numbered, proving to us that he was born of the family of David, is read. This mass is said in the depth of night. The second mass is said in remembrance of his birth in the hearts of his followers, A and for that reason the gospel giving the history of the calling of the shepherds to adore him, is read. This mass is said at the twilight hour. The third mass commemorates his eternal birth from the bosom of his Father before all ages, and for that, reason the gospel that tells of the time when the ward was. Tn the beginning was the

t.. td and th. ftorJ with God and the word was God," is reud. This nia is in said in the fullness of the licht of day. The ctdleeiion that Is taken up an iijully on Christmas day for the orphan children of the Fort Wayne diocese amounted this year to $730.60. Father Knapke. who assisted here for Christmas returned to Cartha- !■;< nitt, Ohio, where lie is professor of philosophy al St. Charles seminary. The number of communons distributed on Christmas day was 950.

Dec. 26—(Special to Daily Democrat) —An X-Ray machine sweeping from his mouth to the tips of his toes failed to find a needle which disappeared on the person of Stanley Smith, twelve, when lie put- the needle in his mouth for a few minutes. o RETURNS FROM FUNERAL Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Henricks returned today noon from Van Wert, Ohio, where they attended the funeral of Mr. Henrick’s daughter, Mrs. Floyd Mercer, whose death resulted t’ro'ni typhoid fever. Mr. Henricks, chiropractor. opened his office here again today, after a two day’s closing. Did Not Look the Part. The czar of Russia was recently visiting a field hospital, and, as is frequently the case, he had donned mufti, with a view to rendering himself less noticeable. Stopping by a wounded soldier who was being attended to by the doctors, he gazed at him pityingly. One of the orderlies, seeing bis majesty was interested in the man, thereupon asked the latter how he felt. “Badly enough,” replied the soldier. "But it is not ray hurt I mind so much. It is rather that 1 was caught by this cursed bit of shell just half an hour before the emperor was due to pass our way, and I have always wanted to see him.” "Well,” said the orderly, "why, then, do you not look at him now, my son? He is there by your side.” "Don’t tell me lies!” cried the wounded man angrily, eyeing the plainly-dressed and mud-stained Nicholas with a glance of profound contempt. "As if I did not know that emperors are not made like that 1"

Sharks Scare Crabs Away. The sharks have chased tho succulent crab from their habitut and caused a scarcity of crustaceans. In other words they have "crabbed the game.” For the first time since 1874 the crab seems to have quit its habitut along the coast, a New York correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch writes. Crab fishermen who in former years made goodly profits selling their catches by the basketful, now find It a day’s work to catch enough crabs to feed their own families. Actor colonies have found it necessary to substitute clam bakes for crab suppers, and, in a manner of speaking, that isn’t a calamity because beer goes best with dams, while crabs require a champagne fluctuation. Anyhow, if the waiter hands you n bill for $1.50 for the cold boiled Brachyurous crustacean, or blue crab of American waters, don’t commence to holler until he tells you that crabs are good •it any price, and the sharks eat $1.50 worth at one gulp. A Discrimination. “I believe in peace at any price,” said the mild citizen. “So do I,” replied the aggressive person; “but I have a lingering sus-| plcion that it’s better to be the one ,vho* fixes the price than the one who >ays it.” i DEMOCRAT^WANT ADS PAY BIG
