The christmas stockIne

An ancient legend thus accounts for
the custom Of hanging up the Christ
mas stocking. While yet ST Nicholas
was a pagan immortal, ne became in
yolved in a struggle with giants, in
which his son slew a ferociOus wolf by
thrusting his foot, clad in a great shoe
made by the poor from strips Of leath-
er given by the prosperous, into the
monsters mouth. The shoe stood for
the deeds of giving charity by which
the wolf OF want and sin and death
is overcome. So, when the leader OF
departed souls came to earth on his
white steed at Yule, the children
placed their shoes, filed with oats for
his horse, before their doors, and in
the morning the shoes were found to
contain apples and nuts instead OF
oats. In time, the more convenient
stocking was substituted for the
clumsier shoe as the symbol Of the
happy hopefulness with which Santa
Claus yearly visits were expected

Thoughts on Going Into Battle
a Los Angeles subscriber contrib
utes the following:
Some old war horses" got together
in the lobby Of one Of Los Angeles
hotels a few evenings ago and eX-
changed experiences and spun yarns
Of the war Of the rebellion Among
other things they discussed their sen
satiOns on the occasion Of their first
battle. Said one:
"As we were going into action, and
I saw across the fields great columns
Of gray advancing to meet US, 1 kept
wondering if over there in those ranks
some Johnnie had in his gun the bull
let meant for me"
Said the second man: a little
ahead Of men was our color bearer,
and as we marched on the enemy I
kept my eyes fastened on the flag.
and I thought to myself, If 1 die, it
will be for the dear old Stars and
Stripes
The third man spoke: Our regi-
ment was mostly made up Of city
chaps, and, take US as a whole, we
were a pretty gOOd-fOr-nOthing lot We
had been attracted 10 the service by
a love Of adventure and in a measure
tempted by liberal bOunties- As a
rule our lives, up TO the time Of our
enlistment, has been spent in idleness
or worse. In our account of the world
the credit side was mostly blank
Later in the war we were patriotic
enough, and many OF Us would have
stayed on indefinitely in the service
for pure love Of country and hatred o.
her enemies. but at the time Of our
first battle we had little OF that spirit
in our regiment. Our captain pretty
thoroughly understood the situation,
and before We started IN for the fight
he made a little address for the pur-
pose Of awakening enthusiasm on our
part and reassuring Us as much as
possible. He closed his address by
telling US to be brave Don't be
afraid, boys he said. Remember that
for every man hit his weight in lead
has been fred at him Then he gave
the order to move on the enemy. We
had TO advance across an open field.
under the guns Of the enemy, and
remember thinking, as the boys began
dropping pretty tOlerably fast about
me: What an expensive way to get
rid Of a lot Of cheap cusses like US
That's all I thought Of till about two
weeks later, when woke up to hear
the hospital surgeon say: Guess this
