SATURDAY SMALL TALK.

The American mistletoe is called a
oradendren-compo of two Greek
words, thief and tree-because these
plants steal their food from the trees thew
grow on. 1t was cassed as viscum by
Pursh, the same as the European variety,
but by Nuttall as noted above. Its
berries are white, while those of the Eng
lish growth are yellow. 1t is q true
parasite, growing on many kinds of trees
1t is common from New Jersey to southern
Illinois and southwark, and it t1ourishes
luxuriantly in the ceDtrals Rio Grande
Valley of New Mexico. The New Mex
IoAN's news scribe is under obligations to
Mr.. Charles Whitmore, OF San Marclal,
for a quantity OF 1t for holiday uses.
The use OF the mistletoe is supposed to
be of druidish origin, probably by the way
of Scandinavia. At any rate, in early
Scandinavian mythology it is related that
Mana, one of the goddesses, took shaft
or stick of mistletoe to collect tears on,
and he who examines will atll find them
on the fruitful bush of the mistletoe in
the form of little white berries.
According to fairy stories, to cut oak
that has this plant growing on it was to
seek misfortune. 1t had the reputation
of being an antidote for poison and a spe-
cifc against epilepsy, a panacea for apo
plexy, palsy and falling sickness. Finger
rings were made of its wood In Sweden.
The tree which formed the wood OF the
cross on Cavalry has even been indenti
fed as the mistletoe. According to Sir
John Vaudeville there is legend that
tho mistletoe which exists now as a mere
parasite, before the crucitiAion was fine
forest tree, its present condition being
lasting monument of the disgrace it in
cured through its ignominious.use.

Christmas, with all its JOYS, was gaily
celebrated in Santa Fe. The religious
services were all well attended and the
music and decorations were matters OF
special moment. Midnight mass was
celebrated at Guadalupe and San Miguel
chapel, and DR.. Chapele celebrated high
mass, Archbishop Salponte preaching
the sermon, at the cathedral yesterday
morning. At the EpisC opal church there
were profusion .of Gala lilies, Marechal
Mel roses and other flowers, appropriate
designs in evergreens and rich collection
of golden colored flowers, while the grace
full smilax was entwined everywhere.
Mr.. Ilderton preached an instructive ser
mon.
As for Christmas trees, dinner parties
and the like, the people seem to have
quite exceeded all previous records in this
line. In fact the Christmas trees were so
numerous as to exhaust the supply OF

HALTED BY THE WAY.
Two Solomonites Who Took Slow
Trip Homeward.

Trip Homeward.
For several years now there has been
a naVigable river, three railroads and a
we'll kept highway between Abilene
and Solomon City, yet it seems impos-
sible for some of the old time residents
of that town to come down to Abilene
without walking part of the way home.
They do not always walk because they
are out of money or because they have
no horse and buggy, but some of them
have way of getting drunk when they
get down here and then they do not
care whether they ever get back or not,
consequently they take the slowes5
method.
Now last week two of these old citi-
zens came down to see whether it was
true that there was deal on between
the saloon men and Judge Nicholson.
OF course, the only way to find out was
10y consultation with the joint keepers
and no man can consult with jJint
keeper until he has bought and drunk
something, not necessarily for pubiica-
tion but as an evidence of good faith.
These two men from Solomon went
the rounds. Very naturally, by the
time they got around they got drunk,
and after holding meeting in the
alley back of the First National bank
and passing resolutions to the effect
thai no deal had been made by the
joint keepers and Judge Nicholson,
they started fer home. When they got
about half way between here and
Solomon the horse they we're driving
became thoroughly disgusted with the
outfit, dumped them out beside the
road and after leaving the buggy and
harness in sections over Mr.. Hoover's
farm, returned to Abilene fully deter
mined to vote for Humphrey. A spec
cial dispatch from our correspondent
at Solomon City says that the gentle
men are at home but that the horse
has not yet returned. A representative
of the REFLECTOR found the horse this
morning at J. B. Petrie's in west
Abilene. Mr.. Petrie says that he
showed up there two or three days ago
with collar and one tug. Those who
are acquainted with the horse say that
he is thoroughly respectable. Wehave
not yet had an opportunity to find out
what those think who are acquainted
with the men.

THE ABILENE BRIDGE WORKS
GONE GLIMMERING.
The President Of the Citizens Ali

Night and Ships It Out of the
City-Many Merchants Mourn.

There is a large and aching VOID in
the red building at the corner Of Null
berry and South Firs; street, formerly
occupied by the Abilene Bridge COM
pany's works. The hum of hammers
is heard 40 more and the lonesome
echoes fill the rooms.
There was apparently nothing wrong
at sundown Saturday night but when
darkness had come and Halloween
noises attracted the peoples attention
wagons were loaded with the entire
machinery and material of the works.
They were unloaded on the cars and
Sunday morning eaw the plant far
outside the limits of the county and oG

No one knows what is the destination
of the concern, bat it is certain that il

guess to be m.de is that it has been
taken to HarrisOnville, Mo, though

and II is supposed that lie has gone

he is indebted to them in large
amounts. One lumber bill is $l,lOO,
grocery houses report accounts of $50
to $IO0 each and the sum total will
reach something like $1,000.
Wallace was president of the citizens
alliance and until a few weeks ago
secretary of the peoples party central
committee and a candidate for Isomina-
tion for sheriff. He was in fact one of
the party's leaders in the county and

STATE RECORD BROKEN.
The Yearling Time of Kansas Low
ered-Good Specials.

The event of Saturday afternoons
races at the Driving park was the
breaking OF the state yearling record
by Mary, q handsome brown mare
owned by Il. l. Lee, of Topeka.
The state trotting record for yearlings
was 2:39 but Mary put it down to
2:3S}. A second cheat was made in
2:4O, both being in splendid time for a
yearling.
o. NJ. Keets is the driver and trainer
of Mary. The horse is one of Kansas
phenomenons, only five horses in Amer
lea having made better yearling
records. If she carries out the promise
already given her owner will have a
fortune in his speedy flyer.

unanimous opinion Of its fatality to

opinions of the various merchants were
all to the effect that the establishment
of a cooperative institution such as
was determined upon at Salina, in this

ers and give them the monopoly on
everything sold in the city. The mer-

OCTOBER'S WEATHER.
Chancellor Shows Report for the
Month Past.

mOuGu Z dSGs
Although the mean temperature of
the entiIe month was slightly below
the October normal, the mean for the
last half of the month Q6 days. was
more than degrees higher than that
of the first half (15 days., and much
higher than that of any preceding
second half of October on our "a years
record except that of 1876. There was
no black frost during the month and
unpicked apples still hang uninjured
on the trees and foliage of Madeira
vines and other vegetation above
ground remains unframed in the LAW
renee gardens. The first snow of the
season occurred on the 6th-a few
flakes only. This is more than q
month earlier than the average date.
The rainfall was less than half the
average; the skies were thirty per cent
clearer than usual and the wind veloc.
ity was ten per cent higher than the
normal.
Mean Temperature -54.14 degrees,
which is OFT deg. below the October
average. The highest temperature
was Sc deg, on the End; the lowest
was 80 deg. on 2Sd, giving range of
81 degrees.
Rainfall-1.35 inches, which is Les
below the October average. Rain fell
in measurable quantities on days.
There was one thunder shower. The
entire rainfall for theI1O months of 1891
now completed has teen 40.1O inches,
which is S.2S inches above the average

ANTI-CALAMITY.
Dickinson Forges Ahead on October
Mortgage Releases,

The calamityites with their howl of
despair and desolatiOn iii Dickinson
are being met by some very substantial
facts that give the lie to their state
ments. To be sure they hide these
facts as far as possible. Their register
of deeds scrupulOusly avoids giving the
amount of mortgages released in excess
of filings but through the courtesy of
w. T. Davidson's abstract office the
REFLECTOR is able give the exact
figures for the past month, October.
They are as follows:
Farm mortgages filed $S3, Is
Farm mortgages releas .d.............. Al IA. .45
Excess of releases. ....... 1922 80
City mortgages 1iled......... ........$ 5,O95 90
City mortgages released. Il AIS. %
Excess of relca es ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. u 324. 20
Total excess of releases. ....... go, ,617 o.
So much for Dickinson county's
record in one month. In September
the excess of releases vas S13, ,134, ,21
making total decrease IF land indebt-
edness for two months of S33, 1921 or
at the rate of nearly $2OG,O year.
Any calamity about that? Does it
look like poverty in old Dickinson?
When a calamityite begins to talk
defamation of Kansas to you just show
him the figures of the past two months
in this county alone. And also ask
him to remember that large portion
of the mortgages filed were for
purchase money.
