Christmas
Itt Early
..History
Massacre by
the Romans
It Is H generally accepted belief that
on the date that we coll Christmas day
Christ was born. This Is questioned
by some chroniclers, but the doubt doe
little harm, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
Every one Is satisfied to take this date
as the nativity of Christ, and It mat
ters little whether It Is historically cor
rect or not; one day In the year, it is
believed by all good Christians, should
be set aside for the celebration of the
birth of Jesus of Nazareth, and the
25th of December la as good a day as
any on the calendar.
It Is necessary to go back to the
Roman era to find the first recorded
reference to a festival on the date
known to us as Christmas day, so that
it Jieed not be cause ror surprise
thraiiffh all the nast aires the record
tha crint rinv nn which Christ was
born should have become lost History
tells us that the nrst reast to dc cele
brated on the 25th of December was
established by Commodus, emperor of
Rome, who flourished about 185 years
after the birth of Christ.
After that there are many reference
to the meetings of the new sect cauea
the Christians, who gathered on this
day to celebrate the birth of the God
Man. It Is not until a century arter
iinu nt Pnmmiuiiia that we find a
particular reference to the persecution
that the Christiana underwent at the
band of the pagan emperor having
culminated in a grand uunsimaa uu
massacre,
nintiotian vcnn the Roman who de
elded to celebrate the date by killing
w rbrlatlans. He did SO with
a vengeance. The most horrible deed
perpetrated during tne resuvai w vu
okriatmaa lv when the assembled
Christians, gathered In their place of
meeting, were set upon ana uB-i-a
whiu the Romans looked on ' In
great glee at the sight of antlpagan
people being put to oeam ror me.r
Wben Rome was ne longer a pagan

HIS CHRISTMAS PIPE.
A Woman's Sllelta4 ul a Tobaooo
Dealer's ParBSf.
The bachelor bad been Invited to a
Christmas dinner. His friend and his
friend's pretty wife were Just vying
with each other In their efforts to dis
pel from hi soul the gloom supposed
to come to the man without a home
upon this day above all others. They
had wined hint and dined him, and
now that they were seated In tbe li
brary facing tbe burning logs In the
fireplace the hostess brought out tbe
bachelor's Christmas present. It was
a brierwood pipe, with a beautiful
curved mouthpiece as transparent as
glass.
"Now, I bought this myself," she i
plained sweetly, "and I told tbe pipe
man. that If yon didn't like It after
smoking It I was going to make him
exchange It. Ton mast try It now."
This the bachelor proceeded to do,
thanking his hostess for her solicitude
in picking out the pipe herself. -
"I think tbe mouthpiece Is such
pretty, clear amber." she went on as
she saw her guest stick It between bis
teetb and begin puffing away.
"Yes, if s remarkably pretty," b as
sented, but there was just a tinge of
doubt In bis tone. -
Tbe bachelor sat In bis chair with
tho mouthpiece between bio teeth and
two fingers of bis left hand cUsped
about the stem, imoking very, peace
fully when there was a sodden blind
Ing flash before bis eyes, a fierce pain
st the tip of bis tongue and adoud of
camphor smelling smoke rwlng to the
celling. The bowl of tbe pipe, fell to
tbe floor and tbe burning tobacco was
spilled upoo tbe carpet. Tbe month
piece had vanished. The ' hostess
screamed, tbe two soon sprang" to their
feet
"What happened?" cried tbe woman
In alarm. '
. "On, nothing." explained ber, hus
band, "except that yoor beautiful em
ber mouthpiece Is ceHntold and has
tawed p."
Then be stamped oat tho burning
tobacco and gaaed ruefully at tbe big
bole In tbe carpet. "
"Oh." exclaimed the hostess to tbe
bachelor a Mnsbee came to bar ckeek
and tears to bar eyes, -what eaa 1 aay

In England In tbe early Anglo-Saxon
days Christmas was celebrated with
wlmoat saturnallau revelries, the lords
of misrule holding
full sway, but the
first breath of Puri
tanism scorched the
seal of tbe revelers.
and It became a hei
nous offense to so rejoice and be mer
ry. Tbe year 1(M3 saw the abolish
ment of all saints' days, and those who
observed tbe "three grand festivals of
Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide,
were heavily fined." t With tbe ree to
rs t Ion a sad coanMnaac waa not at a
premium, but rather a merry one, a ad
all the observances of these festival
days were revived.
la old Seville snd tbe other beauti
ful cities of Spain Christmas Is largely
an out of door celebration. The Anglo-
Saxon Idea of. hearth
and home la foreign

sufficed to exenae hasty retirement to
tbe privacy of his room and the re
quest that bo one should be permitted
to disturb him. Tiptoeing stops past
tbe locked door and underneath the
curtained windows testified the respect
of the household for his sorrow.
With hands nnsteadled by the ex
treme of exaltation he opened the small

"Tell tne meeseoger, please, that I
will come," be said to Mrs. Wyley, and
then to himself: "Perhaps this la for
tunate. It may be well for me to
breathe fresh air and get back to the
normal, possibly to consult Qulllebert,
before taking steps which could never
be retraced. He la sn expert on all
matters of thla complexion.''
He wss soon at tbe cabaret and seat
ed In tbe rear room with QulUsbert
"I bare news for yea," said the lat
ter. Tell It"
"Tbe Latlolaia girl wants to become
a nun."
"She will forego that wish whan I
maks her realise the consequences to
her grandfather."
"You are still resolved on that?"
"More Inflexibly than ever."
Then I have other news."

"Your brother left a will."

"Your brother told blm he bad left

A cold moisture bathed Bvariste's
brow.
"Moreover, be made tbe aame state
ment to the priest Orbe tbe day before
be went away. But neither of them
knows Its dispositions," continued
Qulllebert "Tbe people Will expect
yoa to produce It soon."
"My Oodl" said Evariete, realising
the futility of denying the existence of
tbe testament and his need of an ad
viser. "Tour summon came In tbe
nick of time to aave me from ruin,"
"How sor asksd Qulllebert
"I was oa tbe pout of burning the

"Whyr
"Boca use It divides the estate evenly
between Estelle and me."
"Honer granted Qulllebert "Maybe
that le aa Intimation of bio wish that
she should marry with yoa." . ,
"No. It was latended to make her
