The library should be supported by a
tax on all the inhabitants Of the city, snd
the very fact that all helped in maintain
ing it would insure general use. Too
much praise cannot be accorded TO the
management that has conducted this en-
terprise thus far, diligently and without
ostentation, in the face of great difficult
ties and neglect. have these noble women
persisted in their laudable undertaking.
They have shown fidelity and zeal men
might well emulate, and, are not now
complaining or seeking to escape the re-
sponsibilities of their change
The duties are onerous, the work pub
lie. 1t should no longer be left to the
private enterprise OF a few ladies, but
should be public charge, cared for by
the city, fostertd by the inhabitants,
patronized by all for the process Of in
struction is something like The decanting
of old wine into new bottles; and books
are the funnel
This is one of the many topics we can
reflect upon with profit durine our Christ
mas festivities. Ii the suggestion offered
meets with general appreciation, and is
acted upon the coming year, another
great step forward will have been made
by our city towards her destined goal of
moral, educational and business promi-
hence among the cities of the northwest.

stand, with all this and even more, as
the soul-lnspiring and gladstone Christ
mas tide comes creeping over us like the
rays of the rising sun, feel justified in
saying to every man and woman, stand
fast. Do not waver, for the victory is
ours. The horrible nightmare OF the past
is being gradually dispeled by the warm
rays of the sun OF better times that is now
rising. One and all will soon feel its
warm, life-giving rays, permeaiing with
its brightness every nook and corner. No
great victory was ever won without a
struggle. Every man is soldier and
must fight something as long as life lasts.
Ii he is a coward, and runs, he is lost.
The year 1896 is about to be born. Wise
men predict better times and conditions
Everything points that way; aud now
as the greatest OF days is at hand, let rs
one and all, no matter what has hap
pened, or how black things may look,
grid our loins afresh and face the future
with confidence, for as sure as time, a
change for the better is now at hand.
Now rs the year closes, and Pm more
than glad it's going let us enjoy our
Christmas and give the new year well
come, believing it will be the messenger
of prosperity for one and all.

A Christmas Suggestion.

How often have We noticed a gang OF
laborers, forcing up heavy weight with
handspikes, stop, rest, take long breath,
and then with fresh, sturdy concen-
trated effort, give one grand united heave,
and thrust the load into position. Free
quently have we observed number Of
sailors straining on the halyards, giving
a strong pull, then resting, whilst tho
notes of the marine ditty continues, and
then with recovered breath, keeping time
to the enlivening strains OF the song,
hauling again on the line, and steadily,
surely the heavy yard mounts into place.
The Christmas holidays are our breath
ing time, in which We can enjoy few
days respite, after the years continuous
tuggng and straining for existence and
success and thus prepared, refreshed and
invigorated, for the struggles that are
yet to come.
1t is not inappropriate, whilst listening
TO the Christmas carols, that We should
occupy few OF the leisure moments re-
respectively and perhaps draw from the
past lessons and announcements for the
future.
In looking back, the past twelve months
during this period of general depression
and business stringency, we notice with
Just pride the continuous advance our
city has made. One thing that contin-
ually strikes the observer in new coun-
try Is the relics OF municipalities, expert

of honor. 1t was decked for the sacrifice,
as the song has it, with garlands and
rosemary, while in its mouth a lemon
fated to flavor good flsgon OF punch
was carefully placed. Nothing less cost
ly and precious than silver dish was
good enough for the head of the boar.
No one less dignified and distinguished
than the baronial clergyman was called
upon to say Craze over the table on which
lay the head OF one of the mobiles of the
race OF swine.
The best harper in all the barony
played his best airs over the head OF this
fortunate animal-fortunate and honored
even in death. Good jokes ard old, good
ale and rounds. The twin Yule candles
sparkled. The great Yule log cracked
and went 10 the sherries, good soup and
hearty vent to the assistance of the can
dies in the matter of tightening up the
banqueting-room. The table yroaned
under the weight of fiagons, beakers,
goblets, basins and ewers-good signs OF
hat was to become in those DAYS OF
heavy drinking.

ments in city building. The coast is
covered With these relics of populations
that have passed away. Antiquities of
men, eternally moving, chasing Fortune
and Fortune found, still wander.
North Yakima has long since passed
the experimental stage. Our population
permanent, attracted by the genial eli
mate, fertile soil and unequalled posi-
bilities, own their properties, have ceased
/ being globe trotters, and whether Saxon,
/ Gaelic, Celtic, Latin or Teutonc, bound
by community Of interest, have become
compatriots. and with true affection for
their home, are making lasting and beau
/ tiful Improvements.
| Yesterdays walk discovered fiity-two
edfices Of timber, brick and stone as the
result of the past years construction.
Some Of the residences, palatial in their
proportions, furnished with elegance and
4 taste, would do credit to any older local
ity; and some of our new business houses
for beauty, convenience and durability
cannot be surpassed by any metropolis,
Surely all this speaks well for the faith
and energy of our population OF forty-five
hundred souls in these times OF business
uncertainty and anxiety.
The different Christian denominations
all have suitable and commodious houses
of worship and are we'll attended. The
different fraternal societies thrive here,
end all do their part in bringing our citi-
zens together and in soothing, modifying
and adjusting the asperities and pecu-
liarities of the individual to the welfare
of all
Our citizens have ever been eager in
the cause of education, and we can boast
OF as many, ii not more, large, beautiful
modern public school buildings than any
city of our size in America.
We all recognize that knowledge is
power," and although the average citizen
rebels against every other species of tax
alton, an assessment and levy for educa-
tional purposes is always cheerfully paid.
There is, however, one important
branch Of cur educational system we have
hitherto been rather negligent concern
ing--the public library. A few years
since number of cur noble, public
spirited women instituted a public IL
brary in this city. Its chief promoter,
to whose indefatigable energy and perse-
verance the continued existence of this
beneficial public institution is due, has
since passed away to her reward above;
but her good works live after her.
Our public library consists OF fortui-
tous selection Of some seven or eight hun
bred volumes of general literature. The
wisdom displayed in the selection evinces
the sound judgment and pure taste of the
board of directors, and that these women
are eminently qualified for the trust that
they hold. But how little for the i'm
provement # five thousand people can a
library OF seven or eight hundred volumes
do. Our public library should supply
this whole city with profitable reading.
1t should be the seat and source of knowl-
edge to those of every age among our in
habitants. A library to which, on terms,
all should have access, and the place OF
deposit be within easy reach of all.

/ and eyergreens. In the center of the wall
hung the mistletoe bough, and on the
right, where the boar's head was first set
up, the maidens regarded it with much
outward terror, particularly ii it still held
many white berries, for while the white
berries remained any maiden caught
under the mistletoe might be kissed
whether she liked it or not Great was
the Indignation OF these madens when
caught under the mistetoe, but strange
to say their indignation was greater when
all the white berries had disappeared, for
after that any maiden might walk under
the mistletoe without fear of being kissed
for with the disappearance of the white
berries the rights OF The sterner sex, in
the matter of kissing under the mistletoe,
went with it.
They still give the bears head an hon
orable place at Yule tide in many Eng
lish homes, and they still serve it up
with due honors at Oxford. For many
years it was the custom to honor the
boar's head on each Christmas day at
Qneen's Cottage. Hawthorne wasa Wit
ness of one of these Christmas dinners.
and writes enthusiastically oft. Here is
the old carol that they used to sing in
honor OF the head of the boar

Bedeck'd with bays and rosemary;
And pray you my masters be merry

Caput apri defero,

Turkey was unknown in the DAYS
when the song was composed
In fact, it was another and more pre-
tentious sort Of bird that was popular in
those days, and this was none other
than the peacock. Then they used to
make this vain and rather unpopular
bird into pie, from which is head, care
fully fixed in the pie, used to stick forth
most suggestively. We have all read
how that inconsequent butt of Jack Fall
staff, Justice Shallow, swore " by cock
and by pie,' showing the antiquity OF
this dish. The peacock and the boar sup
piled the dainties to the old Christmas
table.
! No one thinks of boar's head and pea
cock pie now. The lords OF rule have
displaced the lords OF misrule, and be-
sides tastes have changed. 1t is doubtful
if the American turkey, if it were in the
position to review the whole affair, would
look upon the change with any large de-
gree of equanimity. However, as We
shall not see the old order again. the tnr-
key will have to make the best Of it. As
for the boar's head, we fear that few do
it reverence now.
