the past twenty-five years.

Santa Claus was one Of the Oldest
ideas of the Celtic west In Pagan times,
IS he was of the Pagan east before. In
Christian times he was still regarded
with religious reverence, sitting. ss hs
had sat for ages in Egypt and else
where, in the arms OF his mother.
Santa Claus was, in fact, the child Je-
sus in the middle ages; and through
cut that period the festive creed Of
Germany and all Celtic Europe was
that he visited all family dwellings Of
good Christians on the eve Of his ami
versary, and brought with him gifts
and blessings for the children. This
beautiful tradition is still to be found
lingering in Germany. though Santa
Claus does not seem to be specially
connected with it by name. The truth
of this original belief is plainly enough
indicated by the word "clause," which,
in the Gothic or ancient German, means
..child" and .son." Santa Clause for
merly meant the Holy Child.

they stopped throwing stones at the

~ went in the poor widows cottage to
ask her if there was anything he could
do for her. The poor widow was very
much pleased to see such . nice little
boy, and told him he looked like her
little brother in Chicago.
Then she explained that only little
while ago she was great society belle
in Chicago, but she married against
her dear parents wishes, and now she
was all alone in the world, for her hus-
band had run away from Eer. She
said she let people call her widow
because it was too much trouble to an

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Mad River Township Sets a Good Exam

Mad River Township Sets a Good Exam
pie.
The GLosEREPUBLIC has already sadly noted
the fact that no Farmers Institute was held
in this county this year, in part because Of
lack Of funds, small as the expense need be,
but more probably from lack OF interest
among the class OF people who should be
most deeply interested, as they are directly
benefited. Last years institute, held in this
city, was admitted by all to be, on the whole,
the best and most profitable ever attended in
the county, its benefits being of a permanent
character. This being the situation, the en-
terprising agrieulturists of Mad River town.
ship, among the most intelligent and
successful in the county, have undertaken to
supply the deficiency within their own juris-
diction and on Wednesday evening last jan
uary I, held a meeting at Oak Grove school
house, below the Mud Run neighborhood,
which was well attended and at which a
township Farmers Institute was organized
with r. P. Love as President and Ralph
Howell Vice President. Regular meetings
are to be held for the purpose of exchanging
ideas and experiences and to receive instruc-
ton in practical husbandry. The example
thus set is worthy of emulation by every
other township in the county. If strong,
working organization were effected in
each township it would result, almost be-
yond a doubt, in the formation of a
permanent county institute that would be
abreast of any in the state.
One OF the oldest and best farmers of Mad
River, always an earnest advocate, attendant,
and supporter of the county institute, talking
with the reporter on this subject said that the
Grange might be good enough in its way,
but did not fill the bill, too much time at the
meetings being taken up with side issues,
such as regalia, passwords and SO on. The
more democratic mot speaking politically
and unexclusive Farmers Institute had, in
his opinion, many important, practical ad-
vantages As a matter of fact there is room
for both. Let US have a rousing county iI-
stitute another year, says the GLoBE-RE-
PuBLIC
