MONEY OUT WEST.


Colorado, Idaho, Montana and Wy
oming have made remarkable pro-
gress on the road to wealth during the
present Republican administration.
This is due to several causes, such as
the increased demand by manufac-
lures for mineral products now that
the policy of protection gives the home
market to home made goods. Another
reason is that protection to wool has
doubled the value of the farmers clip.
and all of these foul states are wool
states. Still another reason is the es-
Enlistment of the gold standard,
which gives us stable currency and
more settled business conditions. Add
to these three main causes the gen.
eral prosperity OF the country which
has created a better demand for arm
products. and the reasons have been
assigned for the great increase in the
bank deposits of those states. as shown
by the following table:

originally hymn to Saturn. for one of
the principal features of the saturnalia
was the singing of hymns of praise to
the gods Saturn and Bacchus, and the
richly rewarded. Even the family
banquet, so dear to our hearts, is a
relic Of the bacchanalian era.
Various were the early superstltions
in different countries, the most curious
being In Scandinavia. In the German
Alps it was held that on Christmas eve
"cattle fell on their knees In adoring
worship" being given the power of
speech during that one night. but woe

Death would surely find him, let him

were passed. Maidens thought to find
the key which would unlock the door
to their future life, and especially
among the peasantry of Poland was
full reliance placed upon the result of
these mystic rites.
Among Christmas eve customs one in
Holland is Of exceeding interest. In all
the towns and villages at the midnight
hour the men in varied costumes meet
In the principal squares chanting the
"Gloria In EXcelsis." Proud is the man

Virginia, where it is called the fortune
bone. Two unmarried persons each
taking hold of one end of the bone, pull
against each other until the bone
breaks. The one who gets the shorter
end will be the first of the two to mar
ry. Further divination is by placing
the short end of the bone over the
door. The first unmarried person of
the opposite sex who walks under the
bone Is supposed to be the future wife
or husband of the person to whom the
bone belongs.

CHRIST'S BIRTHDAY
THE DATE DEFINITELY SETTLED BY
POPE JULIUS.

EARLY Christians Incorporated Many
Pagan Customs In Its Celebration.
Origin of the Name of the Festival.
Customs and Superstitions.
III HERE is something akin to
| sadness In the fact that in
- tracing the origin Of many of
lsGaSAj our church festivals we find it
in pagan celebrations antedating the
Christian era, writes NJ. e. Munroe in
the New York Home Journal. There is
nothing certain even about the birth
day of Christ. Some authorities assert
that December was in the rainy season,
when no shepherds could have been
watching their flocks by night" 9th
ers claim that 1t was in the dry season,
when shepherds were on duty day and
night. In the controversy over the date,
extending from December to May,
Pope julius (337-352) had an investiga-
ton made by st. Cyril and was satis-
fed that the 25th of December was cor
rect. 1t was so established in the Ro-
man church, and before the end Of the
fourth century the dictum was univer-
sally accepted.
This acceptance was made easier be-
cause the date was that of the great
festival of the winter solstice, the sat
urnalia, which was celebrated In all
parts of the world from Dec. % to Jan.
6. At that season houses, temples and
shrines were profusely decorated with
evergreens, holly laurel and sometimes
Ivy. No mistletoe was used in the dec
orations on account Of the Druidical
superstitions regarding It's peculiar and
dangerous power. One of these super
stitions, however, has become the her.
itage of all ages:
Those who kiss under the mistletoe bough
Together will walk to the altar.
The early Christians incorporated as
many pagan customs as possible with
their celebrations and festivals as a
matter Of expediency, and In the Ro-
man saturnalla, with its decorations,
its Yule log, its candles and tlnsel
laden trees and gifts, there was much
that even today forms part of our cere-
monial.
During the saturnalia all restraint
was removed, and the stemming of the
tide was so nearly impossible that 1t is
not hard to realize the difficulties the
Christians had In wedding out the evils
of this festival before 1t became our
festival of Christmas, so called from
the Christ mass, which was celebrated
on Dec. 25. Our Christmas carol was
