Although it may seem incredible, it IS
q fact that not SO many years age
Christmas was considered a supersti
tious festival and was stopped being
held by the strong hand of the law
Holly and mistletoe were destroyed
and were called "the plants of the evi
one." Cakes and wines were consid
cred impious by the superstitious.
When Oliver Cromwell was protect
or, he ordered all the most important
towns in England not to observe
Christmas, as he considered it to be {
hurtful custom.
Yet stricter law he commanded t.
be kept SO that people might forge
Christmas. That was that all the mar
kets were to be held on Dec. %.
Naturally this created a great sti
among the country folk, and they de

How n Buffalo Runs.

The world has read the exaggerated
description of n buffalo stampede, but |
don't believe anybody has ever done
justice to the wonderful speed of a buff
falo when lost from the herd and try
ing to catch up, says man of expert
ence 1t is deceptive gait. The man
who never saw it before would swear
that he could outrun the animal bare
footed. But the fastest horse ridden by
cowboys couldn't catch buffalo when
running alone.
Its marvellous lope, steady and endur-
ing, carries it over the prairie at q
speed that would make race horse liz
down and cry at the end of the first
mile. But the buffalo keeps this gait
up all day, and at night his great
fanks show no signs of fatigue.

~Drying preparations simply devel-
op dry catarrh; they dry up the secretions,
which adhere to the membrane and decom-
pose. causing far more serious trouble than
the ordinary form of catarrh. Avoid all dry

and use that which cleanses, soothes and
heals. Ely's Cream Balm is such q remedy
and will cure catarrh or cold in the head
easily and pleasantly. A trial size will be
mailed for 10 cents. All druggists sell the

their differences, and came to Wadena. He
gave 1t out that he had reformed, and for
a few days has been employed as a So
licitor for the Wadena Tribune w. E

apparently short-lived as Mrs. Heathcote
charged that he abused her cruelty.
Heathcote says he is a member of al
illustrious family in England, his father
being an old and wealthy clergyman in the
Church of England. He has travelled a
good deal. He is the father of two chill
