Another Kissing Man.

Another chapter to the Sinker
Creek mystery has been added, but
which throws no light upon the case.
Our readers will remember the mys-
terious disappearance of Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Thomas last March.
If they had dropped through the
earth, their withdrawal could not
have been more complete. There
were no signs Of foul play. All the
stock, vehicles, saddles and other
effects were on the ranch. Several
theories were advanced, but nothing
has developed to justify the beliefs.
John r. Thomas, of Haley,
brother of the missing man, came
over as soon as he learned of the
disappearance, and took charge of
the property. Sometime in April
last he hired a German, called Otto,
(no other name known), tocultivate
the ranch, care for the stock and
take general charge of the place.
It now developes that this man has
disappeared as effectively and mys-
terously as did Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas. He was last seen about
five weeks ago. He had not drawn
any wages. Mr.. John Thomas, who
is mine foreman for the Florida
Mountain Mining Co. has been kept
constantly at the mine, and did not
learn of the disappearance of the
German until last Monday. He
feels greatly incensed at the way
matters are drifting, and although
man who is dependent upon his
labor for funds, he says he will
meet the Board of Commissioners
of this county halfway in offering
reward to ferret out the danlnable
work. No effort should be spared
to clear up this mystery, which is
a blot upon the good name of the
county. A reward would tend to
do this.--Silver City Avalanche, 81.

How the Greek Celebrates Christmas.

1t is more than likely that many Of
our Christmas customs were born in
Greece, more particularly the decora-
tions, lights and games. Here ghosts
and hobgoblins are rampant between
Christmas day and Epiphany, and chill
dren arc often frightened into unwilling
obedience by the tales. As the pious
Greek fasts for month before Christ
mas the feast Of that day is very well
come to him, though it consists princi-
pally Of macaroni and strong cheese.
On the island Of Chios there is in use
a strange sort Of Christmas tree, which
is sometimes simply "A pole adorned
with fruits and flowers, carried By a
tenant farmer to his landlord as pres

wishes for an abundant harvest. .-Ex-

message speaks The wise men required

Vow Year Fairies In Wales.

Among the Welsh people fairies are
known by the name Of ~ tylwyth teg,
which means the fair folk or family,
and are believed to have remarkable
privileges on New Years eve, at which
time they are said to be rampant and TO
possess unusual power. They are thought
to have great fondness for children,
and woe hetide the fond mother who
has in any way offended the tylwyth teg
during the now dying year. Let such
mother watch carefully and increasingly
at the cradle where her darling lies
sleeping ON New Years eve, for if she
fails to do so the malicious fairies will
come in her absence and steal away the
child and substitute for it ''plentyn
neuid," or changing, who, though it
may at first be the exact counterpart of
the stolen little one, will soon alter in
to a frightful looking, shrunken, pulling
brat, not unfrequently becoming idiotic.
