Christmas in
8 Various Lands

Christmas ONE bu. once a year,
and it is observed as an occasion Of
general rejoicing in every civilized
country.
In Germany the chief celebration Is
held on Christmas eve. This is the
time the Christmas tree is lighted and
the presents distributed. Many Of the
superstitions of the North German
~peasantry at this seaso Of the year
are Of a curious character.
Old wives tell young maidens that II

trades Of their husbands they must,

he will in all probability be a black
smith. And there are various other
tones of the boiling water by means
Of which other trades may be deter
mined. Again, to find out what sort
OF weather it will be during the next
year one must on Christmas w take
an onion, cut it through into twelve
equal parts. put salt on each m and
then place them In a row. The months
corresponding to the cups in which
the salt is, the following morning, II
found wet, will be rainy.
In France Christmas day itself is
very little observed. From the mid
die Of December the streets of Paris
are lined with booths where every sort

Of toy and decoration are sold, but
these are intended for the New
Years occasion. when the French tx
change gifts and good wishes. On
Christmas eve, there Is midnight mass
at the Madeleine, to which immense
numbers flock. The high altar is pro-
fusely adorned with flowers, and the
building decorated all over. The peo-
pie enjoy the music, which is very
significance for them. In some of the
country districts. especially in Nor
mandy and Brittany. more attention
is paid to the celebration of Christ
mas. The parish churches hold espe-
cial services in honor Of the birth Of
Christ.
In Italy the churches are illumina.
ted with thousands of WAX tapers. To
bring the scene wildly before the
mind of the reader the following de-
scription by a traveller and an eye
witness of one of the churches near
Naples may not be out Of place:
The high altar was blazing with
light. On the right lay tie presepe
(manger) and on the left stood erect
a wax figure Of the Madonna; while
around that impersonation clustered
the young country girls. A magnifi-
cent flaxen wig covered the head of
Our Lady, and her china blue eyes
stared straight ahead of her into va

LOVE FINDS A WAY
BY BELLE MANIATES
80 rriph', 81, by Da ly Sto y Pub. Coz


The Southern express never carried
a more reluctant passenger than
!\athie Darrell, who was en- route to
visit her grandmother, not from choice.
but ordered there perforce by stern
parents. Simply because she had been
meeting Dick Mordaunt. sub rosa, after
he had been forbidden the house. Not
that there was anything Objectionable
in Dick, but there was a silly, family
e handed down from two genera
tons.
My only inheritance" laughed
Dick.
Ever since her earliest childhood
days she had been sent to South Har-
Dor when she had incurred the paren-
tai ~displeasure, and she had come to
look upon her grandmother's house as
a veritable st. Helena. Her grand
mother was not the picturesque, story
book grandmother, with soft, white
hair and a passion for spelling chill
dren: on the contrary, she was a for
bidding, stern-visaged female of mid
die age. with ironclad rules for the de.
pertinent of the young.
Kathie had been so strictly guarded
since the discovery Of her meetings
with Dick that she had found no op.
p%ortunity to inform him of her exile.
Within a few miles Of her destina-
ton the train stopped. After a long
wait the conductor explained that a
freight train had broken down a few
miles ahead and INSTRUCTED the way.
"Hnu pronIfp fhnnuhf K,tJto NIbI

grandmother's."
Two hours later the conductor an
nounced that the passengers would be
transferred from this train to the one
In waiting on the other side of The
wreck.
1t was a dark, moonless, starless
night. A deep embankment on each
side Of the track left no alternative but
tie-walking. an accomplishment neg
lected in Kathie's education. The 9TH
er occupants of her coach, including a
rice-showered couple. had preceded
Kathie in exit, and she found herself
quite alone. Presently she came to
the scene Of the wreck, where she
was forced to leave the track and find
her way over a stretch of rough
ground. She heard the sound of ap-
preaching voices and steps.
Just then she studied her toe and
fell headlong. A lantern flashed a red
light in her face, and a b~lue-coated
figure picked her up.
Are you hurt?"
No; but what are you going back
for?"
You are from the south-bound
train. Your car is on the other side
of the wreck"
The conductor must have taken
good care Of his passengers said a
voice.
The voice belonged to Dick Nor
daunt. In the darkness Kathie recog.
nized it because she loved it.
ooh. Dick!"
What? Kathie. Where are you 60

"Banished to South Harbor. And

mansion, surrounded by a circle of
evergreens, Dick hung back in the
shadows, while kathie proceeded to
enect an entrance. After a vigorous
and continued ringing of the bell, an
upper window was opened, and a trem-
ulous tone demanded:
who's there"
me! Kathie Darrell. Let me in,
Lucy"
The window closed and in a moment
Kathie was inside the house, Dick still
waiting without. Kathie came out n
called to him.

the dimly,lighted hall, grandmother
Is away. She won't be home for a
week. No one here but dear little
Lucy. the maid. She is afraid in this
spooky old house, and will be glad to
take us in for a week"
There followed the happiest week of
Kathie's life-a week Of Imprisonment
with Dick. Lucy served p%alatable lit.
tie meals, and the old house rang with
peals of merriment from the happy
young runaways.
ITO think" exclaimed Kathie one
night, that this ever detested place
could become so dear to me. I shall
always love it,"
Just then the front door opened and
In the hall were heard ~well-known
voices.

cried Kathie, paling a little, but Dick
resolutely met the advancing foe.

exclaimed Mrs. Darrell, glazing at him.
"How long have you been here?" de-
manded pater Darrell.

response.
"And stayed herein this housed"
shrieked grandmother.

To Mr.. Darrell. now advancing In
threatening attitude, he observed:
"Wait a minute" and he pulled from
his pocket a document which he
passed on for inspection.

A Broken Dream.

As size came down the stair
In a cloud of misty tulle.
The heated ballroom air
Seemed swept by an incense cool.
Full many a callous heart.
Weary and world worn there,
To quicker pulse did start
As she came down the stair!
Down drifting through the air,
Clad in a cloud OF white.
] fancied a seraph there.
With pinions plumed for flight,
Hag"ard and old had grown
Faces l fancied fair.
In the light of that lily unblown.
The vision upon the stair!
Then enchanted In every sense.
Breathing a perfume rare,
The fragrance of innocence
And the happy flowers in her hair,
I tripped on that dreamful dress.
Well, imagine my deep despair!
For we f1oored a dozen, l guess.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionisthemod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

TO RESTRICT THE ELECTION FRAN
CRLSE.

Now that the senat orship and the
gubernatorial appointments have
both been disposed OF, the next
serious matter claiming the attention
of the legislature is the passage OF
the franchise bill, which was pledged
in the democratic platform at the
last State Convention. Two bills
have already been introduced. one by
Senator Gill and the other by Sena-
tor Wilson. Both contain what is
known rs the grandfather" clause,
but differ materially as to the
educational requirements. The bill
introduced bv Senator Gill is the one
prepared by Attorney General Bryan
and is said to have the sanction Of
Governor Wartield with the excep-
ton that his Excellency approves of
Il property qualification. The bill in
troduced bv Senator Wilson is pre-
suned to be the one that is favored
by Senator German and lodges much
power in the hands Of the registers,
who have practically unlimited
powers as to the degree ofintelligence
required to be shown by the would
be voter. The provisions of this bill
are said to be almost exact with that
of the constitution of Mississippi,
which has already been passed upon
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The Importance of framing Il con-
stitutional amendment that will sue
ccssiullv stand the test of the courts
cannot be over estimated. In num-
Der of cases, the highest tribunal of
our country has given practicalnotice
that it will interfere with no reason
able franchise restrictions so long as
they are not in direct violation of
the Fifteenth Amendment. \ num-
be: of recent cases show that the
Court has been consistent IN this
view, and the chances are that this
position will not be deviated from in
a material manner.
The condition of affairs in this
State will admit of no risks, as recent
events have plainly demonstrated
that the democratic party must now,
while it is in power, take the decided
stand that it promised the voters i'll
the recent campaign. This issue was
fairly made and accepted and it now
remains for the party to carry out
its pledges. The session of the legis-
lature is considerably more than half
over and if anything is to be done it
should be pushed without further
delay.
The restriction of the elective fran
chise, so as to eliminate as many
negroes as possible, is the line of clear
duty that the Caucasian race owes
to itself as a matter of self protection
and there should be no bubble about
this important matter. The demo-
Gratis should get together on what
they consider is the wisest course
and one that will most certainly
bear the tests Of the courts.
