The wise men came from the far east attracted by the light of the star, to find and wor ship the King. This blessed day Is lighted by a star that ought to at tract our attention and lead us in the same direction and to the same end. This time of music and elad festivities should lay especial emphasis on the Kinsnip of Jesus of Nazareth. It is our privileae to sev In th Hahe nf Bethlehem, the King of kings and iora or lords. That vision should be more clear to us than to the wise men of old. They had none of the helps that guicken our eyesight We may remember the life he lived, the work he did, the sacrifice he made, and the Influence he has exerted and Is exerting to this very hour. "Never man spake like this man." concerning God, man. sin. life, death. truth. Immortality, and "the vast for ever. He has drawn the intellect of the world to himself. His Ideals have Inspired civilizations and turned the currents of history into new channels. He has compelled the world to accept his Ideas of zreatnass and the value of human life. He has drawn the art of the world to him self, for the greatest Daintines of the ages reflect his glory. He has drawn the music of the world to himself, for the mighty masterpieces of this realm tell the story of his work and in fluence. He has drawn the thought of the world to himself, for there never was one about whom so many books have been written. His life and words have been the Inspiration of the modern altruism that is doing so much to lift humanity to higher and better levels. He is rapidly draw ing the heart of the world to himself is drawing the lives of men to himself. He shall reign, "King of kings and Lord of lords." Because he humbled himself and made himself of no repu tation, and took on him the form of a servant, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, therefore God hath highly exalted him and given him a name that Is above every name. If we will not crown him Lord of all in our hearts here, we shall yet be called upon to crown him King of eternity. Let us crown the Christ Child our King in the here and now. The New Way.

ULLU i i i i i Rfffl tfflfflg 1 x fl&VjlNllt THE PRINCE OF PEA GE By JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL "What means this glory round our feet," The Magi mused, "more bright than morn?" And voices chanted clear and sweet, "Today the Prince of Peace is born." "What means that star the shepherds said, That brightens through the rocky glen"? And angels, answering overhead, Sang, "Peace on earth, good-will to men." And they who do their souls no wrong, But keep at eve the faith of morn, Shall daily hear the angel's song, "Today the Prince of Peace is born!" "When they saw tbe star they re joiced with exceeding great joy." For men in banked cabins In the arc tic snows and men In the wind beaten ships on remote seas, for men in tropic jungles and men in forgotten wastes, this day is Christmas. We who spend the day in the friendly security of cit ies and draw about us the familiar in timacies of home and daily friendships are apt to forget the wonder of this, and the significance. But whether they realize it or not, men draw together during these hours. And this is to follow the star the wise men saw over Bethlehem. Christmas for most of us is given to the closest of ties and the spirit of it is only a warmer glow of well used af fections. But the deepest and mighti est things are the nearest, and in the heart of this day Is the hope of the race. Two thousand years ago there was one who spoke from a mountain. His message was the brotherhood of all men. Another time he said: "I am the way, the truth, and. the life." To day men follow the way though they do not know, and obey the truth though they do not see, and live the life though they are unconscious of Its pulse beat through the world. For the way Is theway of the race marching painfully to Its-f ar goal. The life of the individual and the lives of nations are borne upon the bosom of a great tide. Wise men call it by different -names, but no man lives effectually save in Its .full cur rent Whether we- state it in terms of religion or of philosophy, or pol icy, its law is but the divine platitude of the brotherhood of man. Keeping Christmas 3oJ Christmas is a nay of Joy, but joy should not -be allowed to die out bf our lives next . morning. It should stay with us ever after. We should sing the Christmas songs all the new year. We should 'carry the peace of God In our hearts continually hereafter.; We should learn from this time to find the beauty and the good will in all things, andTto show the world that we believe what we say we believe that since God loves ns, and Jesus Christ - is - our friend, "all's well with the world." They .who receive and tell of God's unspeakable" gift of Christ as a Re deemer may carry the gladdest sort of Christmas,-around with them all the j il ' i " - . - - .

Of all ducks for farm and practical purposes none stands higher In popu lar esteem than the White Pemn. n is'-valuable for raising pn a large scale and irihe most easily raised of alt" It is a very -timid bird and -must be' handled quite carefully. It was Imported from China in the. early, sev enties, and has steadily grown In pop ularity since its introduction into tws ountry. The Pekfn duck has a distinct type of Its own and differs from all others In the shape and carriage of its body. In size these ducks - are .very large, some reaching as high as 20 pounds to the pair. - Their flesh is very deli cate and free from grossness, and they are considered among the best of table fowls. " v - . The standard-bred Pekin has a long, finely formed, head, a bill' oPmedium Group of- White size, of an orange color, that is per fectly free from any mark or color other than yellow. The color of the bill is very important for exhibition birds, and not infrequently one of the best drakes is disqualified for having a faint tracing of black in the bill. The eyes are of a deep leaden-blue color. The neck of a Pekin should be neatly curved; in the drake it should be large and rather long, while that of the duck is of medium length. The back is long and broad; breast is round, full, and very prominent The body is long and deep, and the stand ard describes the carriage of the body as elevated In front, sloping downward toward the rear. The wings are short, carried closely and smoothly against the body. The birds can not sustain flight, a two-foot fencing being ample to restrain them in an Inclosure. The tall Is erect, more so than in any oth er duck.

TYLER IRONS.) 1 Every boy and girl. on every farm tn the country should be taught very, early In life that under, no circum stances should they undertake to lead, an animal of any kind by tying the .lead strap around the wrist or around the body, or fastening it to them selves in any way; - There hardly a week that the "papers do not contain a report of some child or some young' man or girl being dragged to death by a frightened or angry animal.. From the time he is big enough to work.around stock the childshould be taught how to lead an animal and he should be eo' repeatedly . warned against tying the. lead strap to him- I DUCK drake are hard and.7 stiff.

The plumage is v downy, and of a "faint" , creamy white . through out Recently it has ;been noticed that preference in - the , show room is being given to birds of white plumage. , The breeders- are selecting as their show birds those that have the snow-white plumage Instead of the creamy r white. - '. -The standard weight of ; the adult drake is eight-pounds; adult" duck seven pounds; young drake, seven pounds, and young duck, six pounds.

' Feeding Fowls. Feed your fowls in such a way that they will get exercise In obtaining it Exercise increases the appetite, aids digestion and promotes a healthy con dition generally. Bits of meat carried-out with brine from the barrel and left on the ground will give hens serious bowel trouble. Don't risk it. HALLADAY LEAF Havana and Sumatra, a leaf growing in popularity. On the left Is the Ha vana, with which most growers oi cigar leaf are more or less familiar. It is not as broad or has not as rounded a tip as Halladay. self in any way that he will not after ward, under any circumstances, think of doing it. The weight of the body can be thrown against the lead strap without fastening it The man who is dragged around by an animal and has his legs broken or possibly is dragged to death because he has been so foolish as to fasten a strap to him self has only himself to blame for bis foolishness. But the child who has been killed in this way' is often a sacrifice to the carelessness of the parents In not teaching him how to lead stock. Breeding Geese. .Breeding geese must not be fat They should have corn in' limited quantity only during cold weather and then at night. Oats steeped In warm .water makes a better feed. It should . be fed In V-shaped troughs. Plenty of vegetable food? such as cab bage, boiled'- potatoes , and clover should be supplied until the grass begins to grow and the birds go to pasture.

"Then what are you complaining about?" asked Stasse. Progress in Railroading. "Yes," says the lady whose dress case Is covered with strange foreign labels, "the way railroads are run nowadays Is a great Improvement over what they were 50 years ago." "But surely you had no experience as a traveler 50 years ago," says her friend. "I don't mean that. But nowadays, dont you notice, when there is a wreck it is always had at some point convenient to a cluster of farm houses where the victims can go for coffee and to get warm?" Tribute to Painter's Skill. One of the still life paintings by Jan van Huysen in the museum at The Hague was recently injured, but It is believed the perpetrator- was neither vandal nor thief. The picture represents a basket of fruit on which a number of insects have gathered. On a pale yellow ap ple, which Is the ""centerpiece In the cluster of fruit, is a large fly; painted so true to nature, so say the officials of the gallery, that the canvas was Injured by some one who endeavored to "shoo" it and brought his cane or hand too close to the canvas. "A tribute to the painter's genius," says Ihe letter recording the fact, "for which the work had to suffer." EAGER TO WORK. Health Regained by Right Food. The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy-at some useful task or employment. But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden. "A year ago, after recovering from an operation," writes a Michigan lady, "my stomach and nerves began to give me much trouble. "At times my appetite was vora cious, but when Indulged, Indigestion followed. Other times I had no appe tite whatever. The food I took did not nourish me and I grew weaker than ever. "I lost Interest in everything and wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves, but now the merest trifle would upset me and bring on a violent headache. Walking across the room was an effort and prescribed exercise was out of the question. "I had seen Grape-Nuts advertised, but did not believe what I read at the time. At last when It seemed as if I was literally starving, I began to eat Grape-Nuts! "I had not been able to work for a year, hut now after two months "on Grape-Nuts I am,eagerto be at work again. My stomach gives me no trou ble now, my nerves are steady as ever and Interest in lifend amMtlon iave come back with the return to health." Read "The Road to Wellvffie," In pkgs. "There's a Reason."
