Bethlehem, the home of Christmas, is that happy Utopia of which every American child dreams it has more than one' Christmas. Inr fact, it has three big ones, and strangely enough, the one falling on Dec. 25th of our own calendar Is not the greatest of the three. It is at least, the first Twelve days after the Latin has burned his Christ mas incense In the sacred shrine, the Greek church's patriarch, observing that it is Christmas-time by his slower calendar, catches up the gloria, and Lows In the Grotto of the na,r- ' for the tlevout ia Greece, the Balkan 5 ' h 8o,l s;l theRussias.

The presence of the armed Turkish soldiers have prevented riots at the Christmas and Easter festivals In recent years. The last great clash, thirty years ago, re sulted from a discussion over some curtains. The result of that blood shed In the holy of holies, and the cot stant threatening attitude of the differ ent prottors of the holy shrines, was that the L .'tan stationed a garrison of troops at Bethlehem, and connected the town with Jerusalem by a telegraph wire.
