The Gold Leaf. THURSDAY. DEC. 12, 1907. CHRISTMAS ON SHIP OF ICE. Strang Story of SWippor Shipwrockod on tho Pacific Captain 8. A. Iloyt, secretarj of the Masters and Pilots' association of Seat tle, Wash., and possibly one of the most widely known 'seafaring men on tho Taclflc coast, has a fund of expe riences to draw 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 nlways reminds me of the December that I pent on 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 Horn. The ship went on an ice floe and was battered all to pieces. We did manage to save some tools and food and part of the cargo. I put the crew towork to cut off a large pinnacle of the Iwrg. Then I set them all to work with axes, and we Bhaped it into a graceful ship's hull. After that we hollowed It out inside, making cabins and everything like a regular ship, and with some of th timber saved from our vessel we rig ged lier as a bark, side l!gnt and ev erj thing, even going so far as to paint her uiid name Ler the Holly. She was a -fine craft and floated like a duck when finally launched. We spent Christmas on board of her and had a great time. 1 loaded part of the wreck ed Holly's cargo in her, and we then started for Callao. which was our des tination. "The ice ship sailed fine and was as good a sea boat as any in which I 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 1 finally dis covered thnt our ship was melting bc ncuth us. Another two days and we would have been in the water when a steamer picked us up 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 ed." OUTDID UNCLE SAM. How an Old Lady Found a Person tho National Postoffice Couldn't. The fates call and mortals obey." The speaker was a small, precise and elegant old lady whose diminutive stat ure was quite forgotten by her hearers In the realization of her force and dig nity. She had gone to the dead letter sale under protest and was narrating an experience which grew out of the purchase she had made. "1 went to that sale not because I wanted to or was Interested or expected to buy any thing, but because I've an impertinent grandulece who hinted I was too old to be In such a crowd. "After awhile the auctioneer offered a package as big as a sack of flour, and I bought It for 83 cents. Then when I brought it home I found it contained nothing but a lot of worn, threadbare clothing mended almost to death. I was just about to force it on that grandulece of mine and make her distribute it to some poor families when I found a letter iu the pocket of the coat I've kept that letter. The writer was a youug girl from down east in Massachusetts. She was send ing that clothing as the only Christ mas gift she could make for her broth er Ben, who lived in a city In Wis consin. "Well, when I read that letter I Just sat down and cried to think that poor girl's sewing had all gone astray. I made up my mind that if tho postal authorities could not find that girl's brother I could. So I did up the bun dle again, put a letter outside asking the postman to return the package to me if he couldn't deliver It and then addressed the whole thing to 'Mary Burgess' Brother Ben. , Wis.' Would you believe that that postman in that Wisconsin town really found that poor boy and gave him the bun dle? And now I've a letter from the girl In which she tells me both she and her brother are In much Improved clr cumstances, that Ben has a fine posl tlon iu a furniture factory and that they are soon to be together for good.'

Last year, for Instance, the com nany I Mas with was four weeks be hlud In salaries, and we were Blmply hanging on with the hoie of the big houses Christmas day pulling us out a little. We were playing oue night stands and left some little town in New York state for Wheeling, W. Va right after the performance. It was a trip that called for three changes of cars, and there were no sleepers in any of them. "Every car on every train was loaded with holiday excursionists, aud every malo excursionist was loaded with rye and brimstone. There were fights fresh every half hour, and constables met us with open arms and clubs at every station. No eating stations were honored by us, and we arrived at Wheeling too late to give a matinee performance, our manager had two black eyes and a broken wrist, and our star had lost n new set of teeth. without which he refused to play at night. "The report had it that we were all in Jail, and thero would have been no house anyway. We had to get up three benefit performances before w could get money enough to buy tickets to New ork, but we got there. How ever, as I sail before. Christmas days are not all arke."

Some of tho Thinga Found by tht British Dead Letter Office. During the ten day preceding Christ mas about 190,000 parcels are handled every twenty-four hours by British postoffice officials, or approximately 1,750,000 for the entire ten days during which the rush lasts. The contents of many of the parcels are, to say the least, somewhat curi ous, savs the rictorial Magazine. A hamper of live leeches, for instance, seems a strange sort of Christmas oift. So does an artificial leg. Yet both of these were among the parcels "treated" last Christmas. Another long coffin shaped box excited suspicion on account of the odor emanating there from. On opening it, however, nothing more dreadful was found than a young allieator in a dormant condition. An other evil smelling hamper was found to contain no fewer than 300 dead mice, while yet a third inclosed a de funct puppy consigned for postmortem purposes to an eminent surgeon. Christmas presents of live animals are constantly being sent through the post notwithstanding the fact that the practice is strictly prohibited. Pigeons, rabbits, white mice, rats, ferrets, silk worms, lizards, snakes, guinea pigs and even on one occasion a pet lamb have all been dealt with at some pe riod or other. No loneer aaro than last Christmas eve a box was intercepted containing 1G0 live frogs, and a short time before twelve healthy young adders were dis covered in an Innocent looking hamper which was supposed to contain poultry. Some of the lnclosures are decidedly sarcastic. Of this class was a two foot long cane bearing the indorsement: "A Christmas present for Johnny. For outward application only. To be well rubbed In." KING HEROD'S ROOSTER. The Legend of St Stephen, First of the Noble Army of Martyre. Ever since that first Christmas ere the cock has crowed all night long on the anniversary to keep away evil spirits, for the cock is a holy bird and a knowing one. There is a pleasant tale of him and St. Stephen, the first martyr, whose day is Dec. 26, close by his dear Lord's. St. Stephen was King Herod'B stew ard, it seems, wfio served him in the kitchen and at table. One night as he was bringing in the boar's head for his master's dinner he saw the star shin ing over Bethlehem. Immediately he set down the huge platter and ex claimed: "No longer, Herod, will I be thy serv ant, for a greater King than thou is born." "What alleth thee?" cried the king wrathfully. "Do you lack meat or drink that you would desert my serv ice for another's?" "Nay," answered Stephen; "I lack neither meat nor drink, but the Child that is born this night is greater than all of us, and him only will I serve." "That is as true," quoth Herod, smit ing the table with his fist, "as that this roast cock on the platter shall crow be fore us." nardly were the words out of his mouth when the cock stretched his neck and crowed lustily, "Christus na tus est!" At this proof that Stephen's words were true Herod was bo angry that he made his 6oldlers take Stephen outside the walls of Jerusalem and stone him to death. And this is the reason why unto this day St. Stephen is the patron of stonecutters. Abble Farwell Brown in Lipplncott's Maga zlne. THE NEWSBOYS' PIE. It Took Man Who Looked Like Bing ham to Find It.

HANDY. , ISS ACKEBMANN opened her eyes to the sunshine with a startled feeling of having overslept herself, then closed them acain at the sound of the chimes from the church around-the corner, for It was Christmas day. the one day, barring Sundays, iu the year which she could really and truly call her own. She was that overworked individual, a popular dressmaker, going out by the day, and she sometimes wished, with E. P. Roe' old doctor, that people would send for Bomebody else some times and let her rest. On the last Fourth of Jul.she had been in the country sewlng-)r dear life in order to finish a belated bridal trousseau, and on Thanksgiving she had worked until dark to accommodate a customer who wished to outshine her sisters-in-law at a family gathering at the house of her husband's father, but on Christ mas day not even the most exacting customer could ask her services. And yet was she glad it was Christ mas? The associations which cluster around the season make it a sorrowful one to those who have nothing left of home excepting its memories, and, sav ing for one brother, Miss Ackermann was alone In the world. Really. Mlas Ackermann told herself, she had no business to be low spirited; she was a very fortunate perrru; think how many people were starving for lack of work, and all that, she conclud ed vaguely as she finished Vr break fast. The tea. which she l -.de in her room, heating the water on a. suiail gas stove, was excellent.. She was linicky SUE FOVSV HERSFXF FACR TO KACE WITH a ukunzeu and iseauded max. about tea. and she felt better after drinking it. Altogether she was in quite a cheerful mood when the little daughter of tier landlord came to wish her u merry Christmas and bring an invitation from htr mother to cat her Christinas imiiK-r with them. Dinner would be at half past 2. Miss Acker mann thanked lhm very much and would dine with them with pleasure Then she irave the little irirl the nres- ent she had ready for her, a stylish young lady doll dressed iu the latest fashion, with coat and hat complete, a gift which made Us recipient radiant, and Bent hor off to exhibit it at once. The sermon Cod's Christmas Gifts. from the text "Wait nnon the Lord. and he shall give thee the desire of thy heart." made her homesick again the desire of her heart seemed so ex ceedingly far off. Miss Ackermann was not one of those who forget, hard as she had tried not to remember. She found her thought strayinc back ten years to the seaside, to her old home and Jack. Their parents were neigh bors. Her father and mother lived in the little fi; "llusr town and took board ers iu the season. His father was the farmer who supplied them with vege tables and fruit. Jack drove the wagon which brought the daily supply to the cottages. They would have known each other in any case, but the morn ing interviews over lettuce and straw berries, melons and tomatoes brought them closer together. Every one approved of their engage ment, and the day was set, when I great misfortune hanneued her moth er and oldest sister were killed In a buggy which they were driving by a train at a railroad crossing. This was bad enough surely, but "troubles hunt in couples," and the blow seemed to af fect her father's mind. He became al most childish, took to his bed and would have no one but her wait upon him. To complete the roil of disaster her brother suddenly brought home as his wife a girl whom none of his friends would have chosen, and the old mail would not let his daughter-in-law come.uear him. To tell the truth she had no desire to help Miss Acker mann an her duties. She had married for a step up and said" plainly that she did not mean to slave to please any body. "You see how It Is. Jack." Miss Act ermanu said, with streaming eyes. "I cannot leave father, even for you." "Bring him to our house with you," replied Jack. "There is plenty of room and father and mother won't mind." "No, Jack: thanks ever so much, but that wouldn't do any good. Father wouldn't be satisfied. Besides, he takes up so much of my time that 1 couldn' do my duty by von." A-jd .l."ck had to submit with the Lest grace he could muster. Unfortunately- he consulted the doc tor who attended Mr. Ackermann as to the probable duration of the old man s illness. The doctor assured- him . that the trouble was chiefly hypochondria and that he might live for years in the tame state or might possibly recover as suddenly as he had collapsed. At all events the patient was In no Immedi ate danger. xne inquiry would have done no harm had it not been that the doctor had a talking wife, to whom ho told everything, so before long the whole neighborhood was Eaying that Jack Ralston had been asking how long old man Ackermann could live. Of coarse the story came to Miss Ackermann's ears, to her intense indignation and still greater grief. Jack could not deny it in toto, and short of positive denial she would listen to no exnlanation. t Tbere waa a quarrel, a broken engage n n ! ment, and Jack Ralston went west. leaving his sweetheart well nigh bro ken hearted, with only duty to console her, and sometimes duty Is the best consolation one can hare. If he bad been less impatient there wonld have been no trouble. Dr. Bland ' did not understand the effect which a , broken heart sometimes produces upon ) the body. Mr. Ackermann died before the winter was over. Jack Ralston came home as soon as he beard the news, but Miss Ackermann had gone to the city with a cousin of her mother and was obdurate. Her filial affection found satisfaction in refusing to for give the lover who had desired her fa ther's death. Khe would not even see him, and so the affair ended. Well, It was too late now, and she was a fool to be dreaming of it The sermon was ended, and the music of the organ roused her to the conscious ness of things present and to come. She took part with the congregation In the rest of the service and then hur ried home to make a hasty toilet for dinner. There was only a quiet family gath ering. The fiance of the oldest daugh ter, a traveling salesman in the em ploy of a wholesale house, was the life of the party. He was considered, a very bright young man and a good talker. He was at his best today and kept them all amused with stories, of his travels, so that Miss Ackermann had only to listen with a semblance of interest. "By the way, Miss Ackermann," he said presently, "I met an old friend of yours on 'this last trip. Ralston was the name J. W. Ralston. It was In Idaho, Boise City. He is doing well In mines out there and is quite chum my with one of my best customers, who has some money In his business. The two were together at my rooms In. the hotel, and he saw Min's picture on the bureau. I always carry it around to keep me out of temptation guard Ian angel business, you know, Min and he saw it. You know people say you two look alike, and the likeness comes out strong in that photo. It struck him all of a heap. 'Excuse me,' he said, 'but will you tell me whose picture that is? It looks very much like some one I knew ten years ago " 'Certainly,' said I. 'That is my best girl. She is thought very much like a lady who lives in the same house, Miss Ackermann, from New Jer sey.' Well, it turned out to be the very same. He asked lots of questions about you, especially whether you were married. I gave you a good character, and I guess you'll be hearing from him before long. Ross says he Is a bache lor." Miss Ackermann controlled herself sufficiently to smile. "Thank you, we were friends and neighbors when I was a girl," she replied, and in a mo ment more they were all laughing at a comical anecdote which the drummer was telling In his best style. It was no wonder he sold goods. When the dinner was over the host ess excused herself soon upon the plea of domestic duties, leaving Miss Acker mann with the young people. So, knowing herself in the way, she lin gered but a few minutes. Back in her room she gave way and took refuge in that last solace of her sex, a good cry. Her overwrought nerves demanded re lief and would not be denied. She was still huddled, a disconsolate heap, on the lounge when there came a tap at the door which she recognized as that of her little friend. She sat up and hurriedly straightened her hair. trusting that In the dim light of the fast falling twilight the" child would notice nothing amiss, sharp as she was. "Come in," she called as the knock was repeated. "Here's a gentleman to see you," the child said, with the air of a person who confers a favor. "He says he is an old friend, so I brought him right up." Miss Ackermann remembered that, it being Christmas day. the maid would be out and that consequently the little girl would answer the door. "Thank you," she said, "you may go." Then she found herself face to face with a bronzed and bearded man whose eyes only were familiar. "Well, Annie," he said in a voice she knew so well, "here I am once more, She held out both hands with an eager gesture. "Oh, Jack, Jack!" she cried. A moment more and she was sob bing on his shoulder while his arms held her as though they would never let go. Her Little Prayer. Former Comptroller Edward M Grout of New York city tells a pretty little Christmas story. He said that a little girl relative of his was visiting her grandmother oa Thanksgiving day. Already the child had begun to speculate on what Santa Claus was to bring her at Christmas time, and, as children especially girls will do when they are at the home of an indulgent friend, she began to rummage through closets and drawers. In the course of her Investigation she came upon a brand new white muff. It was the very tiring she had wanted, and she knew that Santa Claus' chief purchasing agent grandma had ob tained it for her. Taxed with it, grandma admitted the truth. "But," she said, "you must forget al! about it until Christmas day." That night as she was being put to bed the child astonished her mother by adding this to her evening prayer: "Please, God, make me forget oX. about the little white muff Santa Clar is to bring:" New York Times.

Vance, vrtfe of the late United . States senator: from North Carolina. "That of .1861 was different from any that' had preceded it because we were in arms against the Federal government, and many of the male guests at southern homes that day wore Confederate uniforms. Much of the talk at the Christmas dinner table was of sieges and battles and marches, but we were all full of hope and confidence. "Christmas, 18G2, found us but poor ly prepared to celebrate it. Our sup plies were few, and Confederate money was at a heavy discount. Then came the bitter year of 18G3, with the fall of Vicksburg and the defeat at Gettys burg. With sad faces, harmonizing well with their dresses of coarse black stuff, the women of the south devoted themselves to picking lint and spinning and weaving for husbands, fathers, brothers and sweethearts in the field. "Christmas, 1864 the last Christmas of the war dawned, and what a gloomy festival it was for the people of the south! . Of manufactured prod ucts we had practically none. Our hairpins were made of long black thorns, with a ball of sealing wax on the end. We had made Into dresses every scrap of available material, while our feet were incased in home made cloth shoes. The slaves, having heard of 'Je 'mancipation proclama tion,' knew that they were free and had all scattered away. Desolation seemed to reign over everything.

The Cn!y Known Postal Memorial of the December Holiday. Stamp collectors say that the great est Christmas-gift ever made was a postage etain?) of the value of 2 cents. On Christinas. 1S08, Great Britain pre sented to all her thirty-seven colonies a Christmas gift in-the form of two cent letter postage in place of the rate of 5 cents, which for decades had ex isted. In honor of this event Canada placed on sale on Christmas morning, 1898, a Christmas postage stamp, the only stamp of the kind ever issued by any country, In many respects it is unique among all postage stamps. It was larger than our Columbian stamps and showed a map of the world with the possessions of the British em pire printed -in bright scarlet. The oceans appeared in a bluish green and the frame of the design in black. Across the top was the inscription "Canada Postage," with a crown rest ing on laurel, leaves tucked in between the words. At tho extreme lower part of the design is the declaration, "We hold a vaster empire than has been;' above this, "Xinas, 18D8," and a figure "2" in each lower corner. It U worthy of note that this Cana dian stamp was printed by a bank note company in the United States. It marked a new epoch In stamp produc tion, having three colors. Blcolored stamps are not uncommon, but up to that time no country had ever attempt ed a three color stamp. This Christinas stamp was probably the most expensive ever issued, cost ing the Canadian government four times as much as the ordinary single color stamp. Although issued pn Chrisff mas, 1S93. the stamp's availability for postage uses Is unlimited. New York Herald. A Real Wonderland.
