APPRECIATION, THE GREATEST OF GIFTS. (Continued from Page 7) Bright in the East, beyond them far; Its beauty gave them such great delight; This star it set not day nor night. Now by the light of this bright star Three wise men came "from country far; Established 1857 The James R Armiger Co. 310 N. Charles Street Jewelers and Silversmiths Incorporated 1896 They sought a king, such their intent, The star their guide where'er it went. Then drawing nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem town it took its rest; The wise men learnt its cause of stay And found the place where Jesus lay. Christmas songs in Franse and Belgium are called "Noels" from the French word meaning Christmas. In France the Christmas celebrations were centered about the village church where the little manger was erected and the peasants gathered to sing and dance. This dancing consisted of a few simple steps circling around the crib. The young folks marched to the church led by the Three Wise Men and the Shepherds. Songs of easy ryhthm and simple words became the music of these occasions and the best known is this song entitled "The First Noel." The boys would sing the first phrases, then the girls would take up the air and then both would sing the sweeping chorus fUe GreatBenninghoffl{oWery/ JOHN Benninghoff, an unpretentious farmer on Oil Creek, Pa., awakened one morning to find that Oil had been discovered on his land and in no time at all he was rich beyond his fondest hopes. Suspicious of banks, Benninghoff stored half a million dollars in gold and greenbacks in a cheap safe in his sitting-room. Naturally, thieves kept their eye on the Benninghoff farm and one night six young sports of the district broke into the home, bound and gagged the whole family, sampled Mrs. BenninghofFs pies, drank a gallon of milk and departed with $265,000! A package of $200,000 in bills they overlooked! In a few hours the whole country was agog with news of the Great Benninghoff Robbery. „<1 Some of the thieves were later caught, but were given only short prison terms. While Saeger, the ring-leader, escaped to Texas, established himself as a -gentleman rancher, and become one of the most respected men in the neighborhood! But for all that, dishonesty doesn't pay. Even Saeger, who to all appearances made a 'dean getaway', had to surround himself with armed ruffians for the rest of his life. And so with Kerosene; the ONLY Kerosene is the HONEST Kerosene. The Red C Oil and the White C Oil, same except in color, is honestly made from start to finish, and insures the best light, the most heat, and the most hours per gallon because it burns longer. It's more economical!

Favorit© German Christmas Carol, "O, Tannenbaum." O fir-tree, dear, O fir-tree dear, Hw faithful thou'rt in blooming! Not green for fleeting summer prime, But when it snows in winter time. O fir-tree dear, 0 fir-treet dear, How faithful thou'rt in blooming! O maiden fair, O maiden fair, . How false the vows you made me! When fortune smil'd, then you were true, And when she frowned, e'en so did you. 0 maiden fair, 0 maiden fair, How false the vows you made me! O night-in-gale, O night-in-gale, She call'd you her example! You'd stay'd as long as summer stay'd, Like yu, in autumn, fled the maid. O night-in-gale, O night-in-gale, She call'd you her example! The brook that flows within the ale, Your falsehood well doth mirror! Tis full and strong when falls the rain, But when 'tis o'eh, is dry again, The brook that flows within the ale, Your falsehood well doth mirror! It is quite fitting that the Germans should address one of their oldest and sweetest national songs to the little evergreen tree. We hear that the Romans had a curious "swinging tree with gifts," but the Germans adapted the gift tree to be a Christmas tree and have perpetuated its charm in that lovely old song, "Tannenbaum"—"O Hemlock Tree."
