Christmas Days

Don't you remember: you were once a little boy, , Don't you remember the pleasure and the joy ' You used to have at Christmastime When your father gave you each a ; dime To buy a present for your mother? . And you wished yni had another, Because you and Brother Andy, Each had bought abound of candy. You knew just what Mother would do: She could not eat It she gave it to you. Don't you remember: Santa Clius with his big pack, Filled to the top, he had It on his back. , !n his hand a switch he carried. How you and your brother worried, Until Santa gave you nuts and toys. Mother had told him you were good little boys. You wished that he would go right away. So that you and your brother could play. Don't you remember: when you heard the church bells ringing, It sounded to you like angels Binging: "There In the manger the Christ Child lies, He is the King of the earth and skies. .Go tell the sweet story again and again, Teace on earth, good will to men." I think the children of today Have Christmas in the same old way. By A. T. Help the Poor Small Boy: "Mother, please give me a quarter for a pobr, lame man." Mother: "Here you are, my dear. How thoughtful! Where is the man?" Boy: "Taking tickets at the movies." Making Attar of Roses Four thousand pounds of rose petals yield only twenty ounces of attar of roses.

PAINT-BRUSH GIFTS

C'i. WfW WA i-W i WP - I IT I'V 'r A New Mother's old metal salt and pepper shakers, a long, shallow tin pan, and a wooden knife and fork, with the help of some sealing wax, will make a striking hand-painted set for a Christmas gift. Buy the email sticks of sealing wax in black, yellow, and two other bright shades. Break each stick into several pieces, place the different colors In separate cups or small pans, and cover the wax with denatured alcohol. Let the mixture stand over night, and by morning the wax should be dissolved and thin enough to paint with. You may, however, need to add a little more alcohol. To make the tray, use an oblong tin pan, not more than an inch deep. Using your larger-sized paint brush, give this a coating of the black. If it does not dry smoothly, add a second coat Next, select a design for the bottom of the tray. It is best to get a stencil for this, or to cut a picture from a magazine, put It on while the paint is still wet, and when it has dried in place paint over it, The basket in the picture Bhown here, is gold, and the flowers are in blue, rose and yellow. This was stenciled on, as stenciling Is so much simpler than drawing. Paint Shakers Black The salt and pepper shakers, which may be china or metal, are painted black, except for the screw top, which is painted yellow. The little squares are painted on in three bright colors, such as yellow, blue and green. k The wooden spoon and fork are

used for serving salad. The handles are painted black, and the little squares are put on in the same colors as those used for the salt and pepper shakers. These squares are easy to make, and are a gay little decoration. You must be careful, however, to keep the colors from running into each other, letting each color dry thoroughly before putting on the next one. Besides the ones 5hown in the picture, you can make many other pieces for a table 6et Napkin rings, for instance, are pretty painted black, with the bright colors in squares.

A Christmas Story It was Christmas Eve and the night was cold and frosty. You could see lights and candles shining from every house but one. It wa3 a email house and did not have a beautiful big tree, but a little twig that the father had gotten out in the forest. There were five children in the family, so you see it would take all their money to feed the children and dress them. Now, it happened that there was a little girl out on thi3 frosty night. She was lost. She went to a door, but a gruff voice called out: "Go away- There is no room for you!" . - - Then she turned away sadly and wandered on down the streets till she came to the little house and knocked on the door. The mother told one of the children to run and open the door. The children all greeted N her gladly. ' Then the mother warmed her hands and feet, and gave her some food. It was not a great deal. But it was a little. After that they went to bed. The little girl had a lovely Christmas. And in the morning the father found her home. Elizabeth Reller, grade 4A, Vaile school. ,

At that time Genoa had a large and profit able trade and chips were constantly entering and leaving her harbor. By Briggs

Women Chief Poet Amonfr the poets of women jn-edonilnate. In China China the The Genoese had been plundering and destroping the vessels of Naples, a neighboring city. This made the Neapolitans very angry and they were looking for revenge. Trouble broke out during the first voyage of Columbus. A boat from Naples met his boat and a desperate battle took place, during which there was a great deal of hand-to-hand fighting. The adventurous spirit of Columbus urged him to take part in the fight, but he kept more or less In the background. Ship Takes Fire Finally the enemy Bet fire to his ship. As Columbus was standing on the deck a flaming rope fell from a mast, setting fire to his cloakT He did not lose his presence of mind, however, but quickly tore the garment from him and dived overboard. Fortunately an oar wa3 floating close by, and with the assistance of this he struck out for the coast of Africa, only a short distance away, and succeeded in gaining it, for he was a strong swimmer. Columbus; who was born in the city of Genoa about 1435 or 1436, thought it would be possible to reach Asia by sailing westward. He had a hard time convlnciner anv one that this was possible, but finally, with the assistance of Queen Isabella, of Spain, he was provided with three ships, known as caravels. Then he had trouble in securing a crew, for nobody wanted to undertake such an uncertain voyage. At last every thing was in readiness, and 6n August 3, 1492, he sailed. After an eventful voyage, he discovered the present island of San Salvador, on October 12, 1492. In all he made four voyages of discovery, cruising among the islands, naming them, and also touching at various points along the coast of South America. Nobody can Bay what the history of the world would have been if ColumbU3 had been killed during the fight on the ship or had been drowned before he reached the African shore.
