"Of course-y-y-yes, of course; but
there's one thing I'd like to say, sir, if

THE YULE BOAR.

Christmas Eve Vows In Swedish
Families--The Oxford Hogs
Head.
The yule boar was sacred to Freyr
or 70, who rode the boar Gullinbur-
#sti, OF the golden bristles. In some
parts OF Ostgotland, in Sweden, a GUS
tom prevails to-day that is a rem-
nant OF the yule boar feast Of pagan
times,
In every farmhouse the whole fam
lily assemblies on Christmas Eve. A
log covered with the skin OF a hog is
brought in and placed on the table.
The father steps forward and, placing
his hand on the log, hey VOWS in solemn
terms to be agood father, husband and
master. After him the other members
OF the family step forward and make
similar vow, each one to do his duty
in his allotted sphere.
At the Christmas dinner at the Uni
versity at Oxford the head OF a hog
used to be among the principal dishes.
A similar custom continues in some
parts Of Germany.
In Sweden the yule boar survives in
big cake or piece of confectionery
that is served at the Christmas dinner,
at which all the members Of the fam
lily in the widest sense of the term are
present. These family reunions at
Christmas are common to all the leu
tonic nations, and the Anglo Saxons
especially. They have been custo-
mary ever since the old pagan times.

A MERRY CHRISTM AS DAY.

Elaborate Christmas Celebrations.
One of the most elaborate celebra
tions Of Christmas that ever took
place occurred in 1852, during tn
reign OF Henry III. The marriage o.
the Kings daughter, the Princess Mar.
garet, with Alexander, King OF the
Scots, took place on that Christmas
Day. The Archbishop of York gave
600 fat oxen and e2,7oO toward the
expenses.
In the year 124s this same Henry
III. filled Westminster Hall with poor
people and toasted them royalty at his
expense throughout the whole OF
Christmas week. On Christmas Day
he caused a great number Of cattle to
be slaughtered and, throwing open his
palace gates, permitted the populace
to enter, and allowed each man to
carry off as much meat as he could
impale and bear away upon his dag

DEAR OLD SAINT NICHOLAS.
How He Came to Be Considered the
Patron Saint of Children.

How He Came to Be Considered the
Patron Saint of Children.
Apretty Catholiclegend tells how St.
Nicholas came to be considered the
patron saint of children. One day
passing by a wretched house he heard
weeping within. Stepping softly to
the open window he heard a father la
menting the wretched fate to which his
three lovely young daughters were
doomed by poverty.
st. Nicholas's gentle heart was
touched. He returned at night, and
threw in at the window three bags of
gold sufficient for the dowry OF the
girls. His kindness to them and to
many others equally wretched made
him regarded as the especial benefac-
tor of children. ~.
In Russia he is reverenced as the
chief saint of the Greek Church, but i'm
Germany, Switzerland, Holland ana
Austria it is as the children's saint
that he is chiefly honored. -.
The good Dutch burghers who found
ed New Amsterdam placed the little
settlement under his care. 1t has
grown to be che great city of New
York, but his name is no less honored
in the splendid metropolis than in the
humble Dutch town.

A Plea for Santa Claus,

Don't be too matter OF tact,
mothers, as the Christmas tide comes
round. Give the little peoples imagin-
alton full play. One thing most boys
and girls have in larger degree than
their fathers and mothers, and that is
their faculty of making unrealtles
real. They often prefer to look at
things in this imaginative way after
they know that what they have pic
tured to themselves is not actually
true. 1t is often a, blessing to the
little ones because they are able to
put q transferring halo around what
seems common and sordid to their
elders. A rag doll becomes a "beloved
Angelina" ana broken rocking horse
an Arabian steed. A very small
present on Christmas morning, if
tucked away in the stocking and
hung under a sprig OF holly, means q
great deal to little boy orgirl. Their
belief in old Santa Claus, too, is Very
dear to them, and it is a common
cause for bitter tears that some older
person has thrown down and Knocked
at the image Of the Jolly children's
saint, perhaps even dared to deny his
existence
The child faith is OF a gentle, loving
kind, and when you ruthlessly break
it down you are destroying something
which will never come again, and per-
haps, at the same time, injuring some
OF the delicate tibres that make up
the moral nature Of the young soul.
This is a world of realities, but don't
forget that it hasits spiritual side too,
and it wouldn't be worth living in if it
didn't.

FIRST CHRISTMAS IN AMERICA,
Inc Pilgrim Fathers Celebrated It
by Drinking Beer

Inc Pilgrim Fathers Celebrated It
by Drinking Beer.
The chronicles Of the Pilgrims, de-
scrlbing their arrival in Cape Cod Bay
IN December, 1920, refer thus briefly
to the first Christmas spent by them
in America:
monday, the 25th, being Christ
mas Day, we began to drink water
aboard. But at night the master
caused us to have some beer, and so
on boardwe had divers times now and
then some beer, but on shore none at
ALL"
What was done in Plymouth the
next Christmas is more fully described
IN the quaint language OF Governor
Bradford:
son We day called Christmas-day,
ye Govr. called them out to worke-
as was ed,-but We most OF this new
company excused themselves and said
1t went against their conscience to
work on We day. So We Govr. told
them that if they made it a matter Of
conscience, he would spare them until
they were better informed. So he led
away We rest and left them, but when
they came home at noon from their
worke, he found them in We streete at
play, openly, some pitching We barr;
and some at stoole-ball, and such like
sports. So he went to them and took
away their implements, and told them
that was against his conscience, that
they should play and others work. II
they made We keeping OF it matter Of
devotion, let them kepe their houses,
but there should be no gaming or
revealing in We Streets ...

A Fair Strategist.

81 think it's just horrid in you men
to claim kiss just because you hap
pen to catch us under little piece Of
mistletoe," said Miss Thirdseason, as
she chung to the arm Of modest gen
tleman and led him about so gently
that he was unaware that he was be-
ing plotted. "You men take advant-
age OF us just because an old heather
custom sanctions it. tell you l am
very careful to keep away from it. No
man ever kissed me yet, and I'd die
before I'd let him do it. Oh! Mercy!
There's the horrid thing right over
my head now" and she turned her
face up and stood paIalyzed with
fright until the spell was broken in
the regulation way.

On Christmas, IN the morning,
When shepherds, watching thro' the night,
Saw round them shine the wondrous light

They heard the angels saying then,
ION earth be peace goodwill toward

Oh! blessed Christmas morning!

A New Christmas Game.

For the benefit of those who may
have become tired OF the old fashion
ed games usually played at Christmas
we suggest the folio wing:
Gather q party on Christmas eve,
or early Christmas morning and then
hunt up q lot OF poor people who have
no Christmas dinner and give them
one.
The game can be played by any
number of persons and is warranted
to make more real enjoyment and
merriment for all who take any part
in it than any other game. New York
