'Tis now the joyous Christmas time;
The pancs are etched with pens of rhine.
(Alas, that one so young as
Should lend myself to such a lie
Alas, that truth should be defed
When both the windows at my side,
Though screened by wire, are open wide)
The air is rent by sleet and hail;
The snow is deep on hill and dale.
Otis hard TO think that this is true
When grass is green and skies are blue.
But think ii true a poet must,
Though every wanton, wayward gust
Increase his tables coat OF dust)

The walls are green with mistletoe.

And as ! toll to earn check
My collar stiff becomes a wreck,
And beads OF sweat run down my neck)
The singing wires are harped, | ween,
BY frosty fingers all unseen.

But art demands the early bird,
And Christmas lays can't be deferred;

The Dinner Table.

The Christmas dinner table should be
appropriately and PRETTY decorated with
evcrgreens, holly, bunch of mistletoe
hanging below the chandelier and sprays
of wintergreen everywhere they can be
tucked Roses and chrysanthemums
seem to be the favorite flowers. Wher-
ever ribbons are used let them be OF a
rich, bright red for that is a warm and
glowing color and especially fashionable
this season. Branches Of holly placed
tastefuly among the draperes of an
apartment add much to its cheerful feast
day appearance.

The MistIetoe Bough.

To the mistlctoe bough our heather an
cestors attached the greatest Importance.
The forest yielded no more sacred en-
blem. The very oaks on which it grew
were hallowed.
No significance belonged to mistletoe
from any other tree than the oakland it
may be found on the fir, the lime and
even the apple tree. The graceful para
site creeper with its pale berries SYM
bolized the choicest blessings Of the gods
and was defense against evil.

Christmas carols were another inven-
ton Of the early church to offset the joy
Gus license of paganism. Song was an
expression of rejoicing among the Ro-
mans.
Hence the making Of pious canticies,
simple in form. so that they might be
sung by learned and ignorant. Such Is
the origin of the custom, which still lin
gers in certain parts of England, Of
waits" going from house to house on
Christmas eve and singing carols.-New

There Is nothing Christian in the Yule
log, which has almost become obsolete in
these days of steam heat and gas logs"
1t belonged to the Saxon feast Of Jul
pronounced Yule).
The custom passed into Christian OBJ
servance when the god Jul was forgotten
and the barons made their hearths big
enough to accommodate the Yule log.
Lighted on Christmas eve 1t was a sign
of good luck if it continued to burn after
dawn of Christmas day.

The Decorations.

The custom Of decorating dwellings and
churches with evergreens is relic Of
paganism.
1t was transmitted to the English races
of today directly from the Druids Of an
Gent Britain, who believed that IL house
were mantled in holly, laurel or bay the
good sylvan spirits that loved those
growths and kept them green by protect
ing them from winter frosts would also
protect the dwelling from harm.

Why should people make presents at
Christmas? IT'S a gracious custom, sub
ject to abuses, but what was its origin?
Unlearned pety, to investigate the mat
ter, studies the New Testament and
reaches the conclusion that the exchange
Of gifts symbolizes the homage paid to
the infant Jesus by the kings and wise
men of the east.
But historians say that the early Chris
tans exchanged gifts because their pagan
neighbors did.
Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1901-12-20

In its aspect as a religious celebration
Christmas entered into rivalry with the
pagan festivals of the winter solstice in
Rome.
OF these the most popular and the most
scandalous were the Saturnalia. Making
allowance for the mercurial Latin tenn
permanent, the fathers of the church
deemed it wise to give Christians an op-
portunity to make merry no less than
their heather neighbors and established
the celebration.

Christmas was first kept as a holy day
In A. d. 9S, but for three centuries it was
the most movable of festivals. The date.

fury by commission of theologians.
This is the height of the rainy season in
Judae, which makes it improbable that
shepherds would be watching their flocks
by night and that the stars would be WIS.,

by many investigators.

ANOTHER ROBBERY.
This Time Krueer's Jewelry Store Is
Visited.

One Of the large plate glass win
dows in Frank ]. KTuger's jewelry
store at the corner Of Fort and Mer
chant streets was broken about II
O'Clock last night and about fifteen
watch cases were stolen.
A piece of iron sixteen inches long,
probably used to break the window,
was und on the sidewalk, and every
thing seems TO show that the burglar
was interrupted in his work.
One of Captain Bowers night rat
rolmen made his regular round at
1880 and found everything all right.
At u O'Clock a second patroIman hap
pened to go along Fort street and
noticed a large hole in corner of
the wind W. Look ng in the winlow
he noticed that hat of the watches
were gone. He Immediately notified
Captain Bowers. who in turn sent for
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth and
Frank J. Kruger. Opinion is divided
as to the identity of the burglar.
Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth re-
marks that the numerous burglaries
of late are perpetrated about II
o'clock when the police watch is be-
ing relieved.
Examining the piece of iron, Dep
uty Sheriff ChilliDgwcrth remarks
that it had been used somewhere else
a little earlier in the night Several
deep cuts and newlv made marks on
the iron strongly support this theory.
However the burglar made poor
haul. He did not git single watch.
as only cases had been left in the
window by Mr.. Kruger.
This is the second time that Mr..
Kruger's store has been burglarized,
and the proprietor saws that the
burglar visits about Christmas time.

approached when the congregations

the same process as when in 1862 the
