harder and harder into the stricken
beast until finally she got him actually
pinned to the ground. He squirmed
and writhed while she held him down,
her intention being TO crush the life ou,
Of him there and then.
But coyotes are as hard to kill as
they are to catch. Mrs. Voight had to
make q new attack. She reached and
caught rope with one hand while she
held the fork handle with the other;
and with the rope she tied the fork te
the wall In such a way that the i'm
paled victim could not dislodge 1t. This
left her free to go after club. with
which she soon returned and beat the
animal until he was past doing any
further mischief In this world. Then
she released him, put a moose around
his neck and dragged him to the house
where she held him as a trophy for her
husband to see when he returned from
the field, where he had been all day en-
gagged In plowing.

Useful Hints.

In boiling meat for soup put cold wa
ter to it and let II come slowly to a
simmer to extract the juice. II meat
Is boiled for itself alone put 1t into boil
ing water, which causes the outer sur
face to contract. and the richness of
the meat Is retained within.
To make sealing wax for fruit cans
take eight ounces of rosin, two ounces
gum shellac and a half-ounce of bees
wax. Melt all together. This will make
quantity. and may be melted for use
when wanted.
A farina boiler Is a necessity, as
with one there is no danger Of scorch-
ing.
Thick brown paper should he laid
under carpets II the patent lining is
not to be had. 1t saves wear and pre-
vents the inroads of moths, which.
however, will seldom give trouble X
salt is sprinkled around the edges when
the carpet is laid.
Green corn and lima beans deterior-
ate more quickly than any other vege-
tables; they should be spread out sin
gly on the cool cellar floor as quickly
as possible after they come from the
market.

When forced to an issue a woman in

dog knew enough not to go in after the

dog barking SO significantly she knew
there was "varmInt" of some kind in

her than she jammed the fork full

the blow. Yet he made leap forward.

But that wasn't half so odd as the fact

CONCERNING SANTA CLAUS.
Where He Originated and Why Rep
resented as an Old Man.


B Santa Claus is of German origin. This
Is true if only because that is the Dutch
name for St. Nicholas. That he is an old
man is because in the ancient pagan
feasts in celebration of the decay of the
old year and the birth of the new an old
man played the principal part. Among
the Greeks and Romans it was Saturn,
the father of all the gods, and among the
Germans it was Thor who was long
bearded and white haired. The tradition
of hoary age is appropriate. for repre-
sentation of the dying year was too
strong to be driven away by the new fig
ure of the early church observances.
| Fat the saint is st. Nicholas is due to
the fact that that venerable personage's
feast day was celebrated at about that
period. St. Nicholas was bishop of
Myra who fourished early in the fourth
century. He Is the patron saint of chill
dren and schoolboys, and hence it was
natural that he should be part Of eel
ebration when the children received gifts
and when they were allowed to be heard
as well as SEEN"
The practice of making presents on
that day undoubtedly owes its origin to a
general idea to carry into practice the
Biblical mandate, peace on earth; good
will to men," At first the great lords
made presents to their retainers, and the
season was marked by universal charity.
By degrees the practice Of Christmas Civ
ing spread until now everybody gives
his friends presents.-New York Mail and
ExDreSS

According to an article by Paul Carus
In The Open Court, Chicago, the apoc-
ryphal gospels tell somewhat different
story Of Christ's birth from the canon
ical books. According to the former,
Christ was born in a cave and thence
transferred to stable, where the OK
and ass worshiped him, while, according
to the canonical gospels, the Nativity
takes place in a stable. The apocryphal
legends proved so strong that, in spite of
the canonical version of the story, cave
near Bethlehem came to be finally re-
garded as the place of the Nativity, and
church was erected on the spot to
commemorate the event and still stands
as a lasting monument Of this belief.

sometimes contributed to the
agINsSNn forensic periodicals-and the pa.
- terfamilias enjoyed the pleasure
of seeing his articles in print. With Mrs.
Hieronomus and her specialized young
daughter labor was usually its own re-
ward. Professor Hieronomus explained
the rejection of their contributions to
urrent wisdom by saying that they were
above the heads of the editors, which
may have been true.
There was no denying that the Heron
omuses were in the vanguard of thought.
AT least all of them were save one. Au-
relius Hieronomus, aged Z, and known
to disrespectful playmates as Azure, was
not ethical nor advanced nor learned.
The paths Of learning were tangled jun
giles to Azure, and his Imagination infest-
ed them with wild beasts. He avoided
knowledge and circumvented it with a
discretion which was no doubt the better
part Of valor. He was a rosy boy, with
eyes that were wistful in spite of his
glowing health and with manners which
were not as frank as boys manners
ought to be, by which an astute person
might have inferred that Aure's individ-
uality was not affectionately cultivated.
1t is true that his father, mother and
sister attended the psychological con-
gress and that they talked about and
wrote on child study-nay, they employed
Azure as model for their observations.
But still Azure did not feel himself under
stood. He cleaned himself scrupulously
before entering the presence of his par
ents and sat in respectful silence while
they talked. 1t is an aphorism that boy
of who attends to his finger nails is not
happy. The depths of Aure's melancholy
may be measured by the fact that his
nails were always scrupulously mani
cured.
1t was to be observed, too, that the
household had another member who was
not advanced. This was Hulda Paulsen,
the kitchenmaid. There were nights
when the conversation in the drawing
room was scientific to the last degree,
when Hulda and Azure sat by the much
secured kitchen table playing casino and
laughing together with the most inconse-
quential happiness. The usefulness Of
Aure's eyes reached it's minimum on these
occasions, and it was to be noticed that
certain dimpies. which did not ordinarily
show themselves in Hulda's cheeks, came
into charming play when the little boy
snuggled up to her and begged her to tell
q tale of old Sweden.
Now Hulda knew almost no one in the
new world, and she told her dreams and
her troubles to Azure, who sympathized
with them and who told his in turn.
Without exactly knowing why Hulda
was sorry for Azure.
"Where you have your Christmas
tree?" asked the girl of Azure as the holy
day drew nearer.
81 do not have Christmas trees" Azure
answered quietly. Mother does not be-
lieve in Christmas trees"
GLOW she not believer
"She says it has no sense''
"You hang up your stocking. then, lit
tie Aure?
ooh, no! Sister says it is silly to have
things put in your stocking when they
look much better laid out on the table,"
