CHRISTMAS DAY.

How the Date Dee. - Came 10 he Els
tnbhInhca.
There Is some disagreement rs to the
origin of Christmas day. The legend runs
that In the earliest period of the Chris
tian church some communities Of Chris
tinns celebrated the festival Of Christmas
on Jan. ], others observing ii on the 9th
OF that month. In some of the eastern
churches 1t was kept about the time OF
the Jewish Passover, near the end of
March. There IL also some evidence of
its having been observed on Sept. -, be
ing the Feast or Tnbcrnnclcs. In tho
year A. u. 32J. when the Emperor Con.
stantne legally established Christianity
In the ltomnn empire, Christmas was OBJ
served Mt the beginning Of the new year,
while IN the eastern church IL was cele-
brntcd on Jan. u. Pope Julius eventually
effected compromise and the 10Th day
OF December was established. These his.
toricaI statements have been called in
question by some, but John Chrysostom,
the eloquent preacher Mt tunStnntinoplc,
In the fourth century confirms them.
II IL Il curious circumstance TINT somo
difficulty has been found in accepting the
date Of Dee. - NJ the probable day on
which Christ was born, because, the close
of December being usually the height OF
the rainy season In Judacn, it il said That
neither ilocks nor shepherds could have
been ut night In the fields of Bethlehem.
This strange objection IL considered OF
such Importance that 1t Is incorporated in
almost every encyclopedia aud dictionary
which treats of Christmas. 1t Is ono of
Tho curloaitics of literature. Tho present
writer has been IN those parts at this
season of the year and has found no diff
ticulty In excepting watch by night in the
open fields of Palestine. Whnt is posi-
bic for western traveller unused to liv-
ing IN the open air in the nineteenth cen.
tury, must have been far easier for n
bnnd of eastern shepherds ut the begin
ming of the Christian era.

Death Of q Former Resident Of this City

Mrs. Wilson Williams, for many
years a resident of this city, died at
Savanna, Ill, Monday morning Of
this week. From the Journal Of that
place Is CLEANED the following:
Mrs. w. Williams, who has Tor
many years been in poor health, an
swered the call Of the Reaper at $40
this Monday morning. While the
lady has been unwell for long time
her death comes as q shock to her
family and friends. About q week
ago she was taken to her bed and
continued to grow worse and 1t was
evident to the faithful watchers that
the life of their beloved mother was
drawing to II close. Mrs. Williams
was q woman devoted to her home
and children. IN the home was her
world and here by her kind and gen
tie manner had she gained the conf
dence of her children and they keenly
feel their great loss. AS friend and
neighbor she was loved and esteem
ed and 1t Is the truth to say that n
truly good woman has gone to her
reward.
Anna Rule was born in England
about 81 years ago. She came to this
country as n child and was married,
to Wilson Williams AZ years ago.
Six children were born to them, Fred
Harry and Frank and Mrs. Ed.
Briggs, Of this city, Mrs. Lizzie Nc
Cormac, Of Milwaukee, and Mrs.
Daisy Smith, of Kankakee. All We're
present ut the parting, and with her
were privileged to partako Of the
Lords supper on Sunday night. Mrs.
Williams was member OF the M. r..
church and was an earnest christian
woman. The husband and father
passed away about ten years ago.
Shortly after his death the family
came to Savanna to reside.
The funerel will be held Wednes-
day morning, the body to be laid to
rest in the cemetery ut Sabula.

At the Evansville School.

A very pleasant social event took
place last Friday evening at the
Graysville school house, in shape of
a basket sociable, The object Of the
event was for the purchasing OF an
organ for the district, The amiable
school teacher, Miss Kinch, and the
good people of the district prepared
the baskets, and N. K. Van Matre,
with his melodious voice, was selected
to dispose OF the baskets by auction.
When the hour OF eight O'Clock ar
rived, the house was called to order,
and Van, with one or two very APP
pirate songs, started the thing in mo-
tion. The bidding was very lively
and spirited, some baskets selling as
high as $l.50. The lady-like manner
in which Miss Kinch conducted the af-
fair was a credit to herself, and the
district may we'll feel proud of having
secured such teacher And she did
not stop when the festival was over.
She went the next day and purchased
the organ for the school. After sup
per was over, the balance of the even
ing was spent in listening to some
very appropriate vocal music accom-
panied by the violin, and all present
pronounced it one Of the most social
events Of the season.

Balance of Trade of $500, 900, 900.

the milwaukee journal.
The report of the national bureau
OF statistics shows that the foreign
commerce of this country for the year,
a conservative estimate being given
for the rest of this month, will amount
So ,034 900 600, being $40 900, 900 great
er than last year and 2l5,COO,OO
greater than two year ago. The ex-
port trade has fallen off about $780,
600 900 from last year, owing to the
lower prices for our staples, and
the imports have increased, but still
there is a balance OF trade in our
favor of over $400, 900 600, a'sum that
should be highly gratifying. A large
portion of the excess in imports has
been in material for the use of our
manufacturers. The money value of
our manufactured exports for the
year is about 1925 200, 900, and that is
doing pretty well for a country which
it has long been alleged needed pro-
lection from the pauper labor of
Europe.

THE YULE LOG.
Il Has Itz Origin In Scandinavian
Mythology.

In the Scandinavian feast of JUL,
when they burned huge bonfres In honor
OF Thor, we discover the origin OF the
Yule log. The descendants of the old
Norsemen, who no doubt are responsible
for the custom in England, carefully
preserved half Of the log with which to
be burned at next Yuletidc, and so we
have the old English proverb, but in
poctical form, by Herrick

Druid god Tutanus, who corresponds IL
