Barlow's Budget on the Sacred
ness and Joy Of the Day.

One Of the prettiest of the many
pretty things said about the coming
Christmas is the following from the
pen Of M. C. Barrow in the Douglas
Budget:
Only q little while now and through
out the world, a. a new day is born,
the bells Of ten thousand cathedrals

Whether fact or fiction, it is one o.
those beautiful things about which

as accentuating the better qualities OF
a human nature which will go wrong
at times. Though the festival bears

The christmas Shirt.

It Is the desire and effort to con.
tribute to the happiness of others that
makes Christmas the most delightful
Of all our holidays. Children at first,
perhaps, think most of the gifts that
they may receive, but every wise par.
ent teaches the child to be a giver as
well as a receiver. and to find the
deeper Joy of the Christmas time in
doing something for the pleasure of
some one else. The maxim, 1T is
more blessed to give than to receive"
IL one Of those beautiful statements
that is easy to approve, but one never
knows how true 1t is until one finds 1t
verified in experience. We often make
the mistake Of thinking that giving
consists in the bestowal of some ma
terial thing. But 1t really consists in
devotion to another of what we have;
It may be money. or time. or skill, or
tho~ughtfulness. or patience. There is
NO one SO poor that he cannot give
another something. That is the real
Joy of Christmas time. II we carried
the Christmas spirit into all the days
Of the year We would make life ia.
.dnitely sweeter and happier.

Sun Worshipers' Christmas,

The United States Bureau of Ethnol.
ogy has been making a special study
of Christmas in America. and n sur
prising fact ascertained is that many
of the aboriginal tribes on that con-
tinent, long before Columbus landed.
were accustomed to celebrate festivals
corresponding to that Of Yuletide. In.
deed, they pursue the practice even to
the present day, and among the Moki
Indians Of Arizona there Is much mer-
ry mumming at or about December 25,
with exchange Of gifts and ~masquerad-
ing by persons who are got up in pic.
turesque costumes to represent super
natural beings. The st. Nicholas Of
the Moki is the Sun god. and their
Christmas festival is to celebrate the
beginning Of his return northward
from the Land Of Shadows that is
supposed to be located in the far
South.
On the top Of the highest building
in the town the priest of the Sun
stands and looks toward the South
west, where the great San Francisco
mountain uplifts its rocky mass out Of
the desert One end of the mountain
II prolonged in the Eldon Meso and
by a series Of foothills and between
the end Of the Mesa and the second
series Of hills there Is a peculiar
notch. In this notch is supposed to be
the Sun house-the place where the
Sun god has his home. When the
solar orb sinks at niRhtfall into that
notch 1t has reached its most distant
point on the horizon and the 21st day
Of December has arrived. Formal no
tice Of the fact Is given by the Sun
priest and announcement is made Of
a general rejoicing. Various divinities
dressed In strange costumes will ap
pear in the town and the occasion will
be signalixed by q mystery play SYM
bolizing the struggle Of the Sun god
against the powerful spirits which try
to prevent him from returning to the
North.

IN consequence to rise as high as they
wished
Few tears will be shed over the out
come of the contest. The latter was
simply childish in conception. Had
the airships been self propelled some
thing of importance might have been
learned from keeping them afioat and
in action for several hours. Up to the
present time no flying machine has
Imade a voyage lasting more than an
hour and three-quarters. From a sci
entific point of view. the fate of a bal
loon which merely drifts is OF. no more
consequence than that Of an autumn
leaf flying before 10-knot breeze.
Again, no new records would have
been made had the aeronauts who en-
gagged in this recent race come any
where near their objective point, TIRE
Washington monument. As long age
as 1859 John Wise made continu-
Gus journey in balloon from St. Louis

between these places in a straight line

200 miles more than that between st,
Louis and Washington--and owing to
the irregularlty of the course which
he was obliged to follow it is believed
that wise travelled fully 1850 miles.
There is reason to think that a slight
ly more brilliant feat was performed
about four years ago. The Count de

Christmas day Is the same as any
other day Of fhe year, such places
are comparatively very few and in
nearly every homo Christmas day is
a day Of gladness. The little folks
hail the time with unsubdued glee
and receive their gifts In an abandon
of happiness impossible to those Of
elder growth. Though selfish graft.
fcatiop may predominant in the ex.
tremely young minds, the children
quickly learn the true significance Of
the gifts and find as much JOY in
giving as In receiving gifts The
season teaches them in generosity and
regard for others; two things Of
which the world cannot have too
much. Christmas is a day Of re-
unions, family ties knit closer and
friendships strengthened, It's in
fluheoe is uplifting and were it not

Last Thursday evening G. o. BERN
ger came TO Grants Pass to have Dr.
Kremer to set the bones of his right
{ arm, which were broken in three
places. DR.. Kremer reduced tho
fractures, and, though the old fellow
is 10 years old and the bones had been
broken since the previous Tuesday.
he is on the fair road to recovery and
may regain the use of his arm to a
limited extent but the accident will
end his prospecting days. The old
fellow was on a propsecting trip in
the hills down Rogue river, about IS
miles from Grants Pass, aud late
Tuesday afternoon he fell down n
steep rocky hillside about 60 feet and
broke his arm. He claims to have
laid out that night and the following
night in the woods, while slowly
making his way to the home of his
son-in-law, Joseph Arnold, near
Wilderville, which he reached Thurs-
day forenoon. That afternoon he
came on to Grants Pass, walking in
as though he were young man and
not suffering from a severe INJURY.
He is now at the county hospital.
