Cnptaln M. A. Hoyt, secretory of the Masters and Pilots' association of Seat tle. Wash., and possibly one of the most widely known seafaring men on the Pacific coast, has a fund of expe riences to (I ni w from when he wishes to while away an hour. Up In the big. pleasant rooms of the association the captain recently told the following tale: "The approach of Christmas always reminds me of the December that I spent ou an Ice ship. Never heard of one? Well, they are unusual. I was master of the little brig Holly, and along about the 1st of November we were wrecked away down south of the IIoiu. The ship weut on uu Ice floe and was buttered all to pieces. We did manage to save some tools and food and part of the cargo. "I put the crew to work to cut off a large pinnacle of the berg. Then I set them all to work with axes, and we shaped it Into a graceful ship's hull. After that we hollowed it out Inside, muting cabins uud everything like a regular ebip, and with some of the timber saved from our vessel we rig ged her as a bark, side light" nnd ev erything, even going so far as to paint her uud name her the Holly. She was a fine craft and floated like a duck when finally launched. We spent Christmas on bonrd of her and had n great time. I loaded part of the wreck ed Holly's cargo In her. and we then started for Callao, which was our des tluntl ii. "The Ice ship sailed fine and was as good a sea boat as any In which 1 sail ed. This was only, however, when we were down south In cold water. The nearer we got to the equator the light er became our vessel, and I finally dis covered that our ship was melting l neath us. Another two days and we would have been In the water when a steamer picked us op and also saved the cargo. This paid for the loss of the vessel, which was also insured, so the owners came out ahead in the end." OUTDID UNCLE SAM. Hv an Old Lady Found a Ttrson the National PoatoffiM Couldn't.

Who were the wise meu of the east the magi who followed the star Df Bethlehem from afar to do homage to the. newborn Saviour? The simple story as told in the Bible Is one of the most familiar In Christ mas lore. Any child could recite It in detail. Painters and. sculptors have made It the theme of the most Inspired products of their brushes and chisels, but to this day the Identity of these wise men remains a mystery. A search of tin great paintings In which the subject Is treated produces a be wilderment. There are half a hun dred di.Terent Ideas presented. The varying versions of the books of the ages are as many. It is fair to assume from the fact that the visitors were received at court by King Herod aud that they carried gifts of value that they were In their own country meu of royalty or close to It. Herod evidently deemed It well to treat them with deference, for dis quieted though he was by their news of the comet that was to lead them to the birthplace of the Redeemer he dis sembled aud told them that when they had found the newborn he would re turn to worship'wlth them. Much of our Information about the early days of the Christian era comes from the monks of the fourteenth cen tury, who delved deeply Into historical sources since lost to the world. Tbe'r story of the three wise men has receiv ed wide credence. According to these monks, the wise men were three great kings called Caspar. Melcholr and Bal tbasar. Caspar was the oldest and from the north. At the time of the birth of Christ he was alxy years old, auI for morfc than two-thirds of that time he had ruled In Arabia. Baltha sar was black, a native of Saba, from the east, and forty years old. The youngest was Melcholr. from the south, whose country waa.Tarshisa. He was twenty years okL Impelled by some mysterious power, tbey dropped all the care of state sand followed a single star thirteen days and nights without eating or sleeping till tt led them to Jerusalem. - Then the story foSowa that of the Bible until they retained to tklr own xnintries. The story does not stop here, it tells circumstantially the after life of the three wise men. The good Apostle St Thomas Journeyed to their country and baptized them, and all three went out to preach the doctrine of the Christ' Tbey were Ialn by barbarous gen tile, and later the Empress Helena. mother of Oautantlne. recovered their sacred bones and took them to Con ttntineftte.
