And from the fir tree. at the height of the storm, came a voice, the voice of St. Nick who made bis home there. "Corne," cried St. Nick to ail the tiny, wind- beaten canaries of the Hartz Mountains. 'Come into my branches. We'll pratect and careà for you as aur family has always1 cared for ail living things." 1 EYES EXAMINED That is wby. declares the aid Teutonic legend. the fir b'tree il the mast hanored af ail trees--thO Tree of Christmas.
