The City Council Is Accused of Deprving
the Musser Family Of Their
Christmas.

A senational report: appeared in a
Sunday morning paper TO the effect that
the Musser family, are in destitute cir
cumstances. II this we're the fact there
would be no objection to making 1t pub
lie, but the animus Iof the article in
question was plainly to bring an indict-
ment against the city government. Inc
council was charged with turnining the
Musser home into pest house, defacing
the property, destroying the contents
and refusing to pay Mrs. Battersby Tor
her services.
The facts are these; The first case Of
small pox, which has proved 80 expen.
sive to the city, was Mrs. Battersby, and
Of nine cases in the city seven were in
this family. Without the assistance
given by the city their case would have
been desperate indeed.
The city paid out for medical attend
ance, nursing, grocercies, clothing, bed
ding, quarantining etc., for TINS family
over fOUO.
Now the family have bills against the
city aggregating about $ll0 for nursing
etc. These have been presented to the
council and are not held up, but are
passing through the regular routine Of
reference TO the committee, and when
found correct will be paid.
As TO the alleged acute destitution OF
the family il is worthy Of note that one
member, is regularly employed driving
delivery wagon; and a minor child is
heir to pension.
II they have been minus Christmas
cheer, it is to be regretted, but an APP
peal for help would be more readily
responded 10 were II not put in the shape
OF political howl.

CHRISTMAS FOOTBALL.
The Portland Team Too Many for the
Salem Aggregation.

The football game at Portland, on
Christmas day, between the team Of the
Multnomah Athletic Club and the sa-
lem Eleven resulted in score Of II TO 0
In favor OF the former.
This indicates excellent work on the
part Of the Salem aggregation, the more
remarkable from the fact that some OF
the players never played in game be-
fore this season, while others are busy
young men, who have little time to
spare away from their work.
While the Salem team did not score in
either half Of the game it kept the OPP
position down TO in the first half and
8 in the second.
There we're many spectators and
much noise and enthusiasm prevailed.
The weather and the condition Of the
field we're both excellent.
The casualties were not serious. MUIR
ray, Of Salem, sprained limb, and
Kerrigan, Of Multnomah, had nose
broken, but these are small matters in
this ideal Christmas game.

A Christmas Greeting.

You think of the dead on Christmas eve,
Wherever the dead are sleeping,
And we from land where we may not
grieve,
Look tenderly down on your weeping.
You think of us far, We are very near,
From you and the earth though parted;
We sing tonight to console and cheer
The hearts of the broken-hearted.
The earth watches over the lifeleSS clay
OF each of it's countless sleepers,
And the sleepleSs spirits that passed
away
Watch over all earth's weepers.
We shall meet again in a brighter land,
Where farewell is never spoken
We shall clasp each other, hand i'll hand
And the clasp shall not be broken.
We shall meet again in Il bright calm
cline,
Where We'll never know a sadness,
mas chime,
With rapture and with gladness.
The snow shall pass from our graves
away,
And you from the earth, remember;
And the flowers of Il bright, eternal May
Shall follow earth's December.
When YOU think of us, think not Of the
tomb
Where you laid Us down I'M sorrow;
But look aloft, and beyond earth's
gloom,
And wait for the great tomorrow.
From Father Ryan's Christmas Chant.

gins with the lengthening of the days
comes from Germany. From the Morse
mythology comes the suggestion of the
Christmas tree as typical of the new
born sun in that it was bedecked with
lights, and was an emblem Of spring
on account of its rich green. Probably
the Morse mythology was the origin Of
the Tree Of candles" more than Of the
present Christmas tree. On the intro
duction of Christianity the Christmas
tree, although not known then by that
name, became the type Of Christ.
The following quotation from l.. p.
Lewis gives these emblems of the
Christmas tree:
The tree itself, stately and tall, was
symbolical Of His majesty and gran
deur; the green, of His godiiness and
Immortality; the lights Of His glory
and OF the Star in tAe East, and the
angel on top (Which Rwas then never
omitted) Of the angels who gave to the
shepherds the words still spoken each

Won't the cabin floors be sandy an the

When the boys go home for Christmas

When the boys go nome for Christmas,
don't you know that they will meet
The friends they knew in youth-time,
when the world with flowers was
sweet?
They'll know the hearts that loved 'em
by the music of their beat
When the boys go home for Christmas
in the mornin'!
When the boys go home for Christmas,
many hearts they loved they'll
miss
Songs that were ever sweeter than a
dreamer's song, like this!
even hearts that heard their own hearts
and lips they loved TO kiss,
When the boys go home for Christmas
in the mOrnin'!
When the boys go home for Christmas
from here and everywhere,
let them leave behind life's lonesome
ness-forget the vacant chair;
Nay they see the tranquil spirit of the
Christ who made it there
When the boys go home for Christmas
in the mornin!

The Christmas Tree.

1t is said that Christmas trees We're
used to place gifts upon as early az
1862. France adopted the Christmas
tree about 1910 and Prince Albert in
troduced it into England the first
Christmas after his marriage. The
Queen still keeps up this custom, hay-
ing IA tree for her own gifts. one for
her children and grandchildren, and
one for the household, Since then the
custom has become worldwide. The
Tree of Candles" is OF more ancient
date. There is an old French romance
Of the thirteenth century in which the
hero sees tree whose brances from
top to bottom are covered with burning
candles, while on the top is figure of
child shining with still greater ra-
dance. This tree symbolized humanity
the upper lights being the souls of the
good, those below, OF the wicked, while
the child represented Christ The poetic
