A Roar From Kiowa.

The Kiowa News-Review of last
week has two separate "roasts' on
Medicine Lodge on account of the treat
ment received by the visitors who at
tended the race meeting and other
"doings' on the Fourth. The princi.
pal grievance is the fee charged at the
gate, grand stand and quarter stretch.
In other words if man wanted to take
in the whole show it would have cost
him IS cents. On the surface, this
looks little steep but when you take
into consideration the expense attached
to getting up race meeting it was not
unreasonable. AS it Is now, even after
having such large crowd the Associa-
tion Is money behind. Regarding no.
tel Accommodations, we admit that they
were crowded but the crowds were bet
ter taken care Of than other crowds
have been on other occasions IN other
cities. We have been to several differ
ent towns on occasions Of this Kind and
we paid for everything we got and
sometimes tor things we didn't get.
Medicine Lodge is not perfect but she
provided for her visitors as well as 9th.
or towns do.
The people of Medicine Lodge are
satisfied that the News-Review corre-
spondent does not express the senti-
ment of the citizens of Kiowa. Tie
Kiowa people appreciate the fact thai
on similar occasions many Medicir.
Lodge people went to Kiowa and Coll
tributed to the success Of the occa-
sion materially, spending their money.
freely and literally.
We think we can read between the
lines the real trouble with the Kiowa
writer's. The reference to the lone
thousand dollars" !" IL 1t means anything.
means that the Kiowa sports dropped
wad on the ball game and OF course it
made them sore. Yet they should be
satisfied. The Medicine Lodge boys
treated them nicely. They paid their
hotel expenses and did all they could
to please them except lay down and let
them beat them. They threw of few
times just to make the score look re-
spectacle. We hope the News and its.
correspondent will yet see where they
are wrong.

The kiows ball players are not bad
on the diamond but they are ''rocky"
on the talk and given to much 'beef.
ing" The one who is responsible for
that column of stuff in the KiowaNews-
Review should apologize. The Kiowa
team is simply outclassed when they go
against Medicine Lodge and every time
they put coin on game it amounts to
a mere donation. We don't blame
them for feeling sick but they ought to
keep their trouble up their sleeves, and
If they are foolish enough to stake
money en- the result of a game and lose
it, it is poor policy to whine about it.

the Kiowa people could not even get
water in Medicine Lodge on the 4th.
There was pump on the ground and

something was wrong or he could have
found the water.

Tropical Celebration with Santa
Claus Lett Out.

a Tropical Celebration with Santa
Claus Lett Out.
The white people Of Jamaica cele-
brate Christmas in spirit rather than in
active observance. OF course Santa
Claus is unknown here. for wnai would
Kris Kringle do in his fur raiment and
with his RENDERS in land where few
indeed Of the people know what snow
is and fewer still ever saw it. Outdoor
sport is out of tie question, and even
lawn tennis cannot be substituted for
the skating and tobogganing Of the
north. The white people sit or swing
in hammocks under the cool shade Of
the palm trees and look with curious
interest over the holiday numbers Of
English and American magazines, with
their strange pictures Of snow scenes,
and read the stories Of Christmastide
in the land Of Kris Kringle and Jack
Frost. After shutdown there are social
gatherings. at which the guests sit out
on the verandas eat ice cream, fan
themselves and while away the even
ing with conversation and in that
"sweet doing nothing" way that is
such a feature Of life in the tropics
Very many of the white people of ia
maica were born in the island and so
know nothing Of the Christmas Gus
toms of the north. But there are also
quite a number of Americans and Brit
ishers here, and these try various ways
to get up a semblance of Christmas, but
it is like the crew Of polar expedition
celebrating Fourth of July while ice
bound in the Arctic circle, and their
Christmas is mostly one of reminis-
cence. Still wintering in the tropics is
not without it's compromising advan-
tages, and although Christmas here is
apt to be a pretty lonesome time to
Americans, they are very apt to find
cause for congratulation after the fes-
tive season is over in the fact that they
are safe from the cold, the snow, the
slush and the billiards. of the north.

YULETIDE IN AUSTRIA.
Customs and Legends of the Nom
German Population.


German Population.
Yuletide as kept by the non-German
population Of Austria is very pictur-
esque. On Christmas day the Poles in
Galicia first attend mass and then sit
down to family supper. The chief dish
on the table contains consecrated eggs,
which the father distributes. After eat
ing, all eyes are closed and all heads
bowed down to the table in the belief
that Jacobs ladder Is then descending
from heaven to earth and down the
ladder angels are coming to bless the
worshipers and to carry away their
earthly troubles to heaven. Among the
Czechs the legend runs that he who
most strictly fasts on Christmas eve
will see the holy Christ in his dreams
that night. In the evening the real eel.
ebration begins. All lights are then
extinguished In the house; no fire, no
light is visible. The children crowd to-
gether in fear and remain perfectly ST.
lent, as otherwise they know they will
receive none Of the presents brought
by the Christ Child and laid at the en-
trance of the house. The older fe-
males amuse themselves by throwing
heated lead into water and gathering
from the forms it assumes some hint
as to the appearance Of their future

bird is to appear Oh the table, put a

on a bed Of celery and parsley leaves.
