1t is a curious fact that Germany's near
neighbor, Holland does not observe Christi
mas at all. except as an ordinary Sunday.
With them it is the 9th of December that
is given over to jollity and mirth. 1t IS the
day of Saint NICHOLAS, the patron saint of
childhood, and an excellent rival of Santa,
Claus, who goes ahoJt. on. his white horse

QUAINT YULETIDE CUSTOMS
OBSERVED IN OLD WORLD

Hes In quite poor houses the Christmas
tree is nothing more than twig of a fir
tree stuck in pot and placed in the center
OF the table. IN every case the Christmas
tree is Illuminated. If il is big tree it Is
hung with hundreds of Chinese lanterns
and candles which throw a brilliant light
over the imposing array Of presents hang
Ing from the branches, which bend under
the load of good things. The smallest
Christmas trees are illuminated by minute
candles scarcely bigger than matches.
One popularity of Christmas IN Germany
Is that the celebration takes place on
Christmas eve instead of on Christmas day
itself. The celebration begins soon after
. sunset on December "a and concludes on
the same evening. Christmas day itself is
ton enjoys itself. All theaters and places
OF amusement are closed on December "a
and are open again on December %.
The program of proceedings on the He'll
ige nacht, as Christmas eve is called In
Germany, is in its essential features the
same in every German family. First the
family circle gathers round the Christmas
tree and sings one or two Christmas carols,
for the Germans are nation of musicians.
The husband then embraces his wife and
kisses her; father and mother embrace and
kiss all the children, and the children en-
brace and kiss one another. If more dis
tant relatives and even friends and ac-
uuaintances are present they also receive
and bestow kisses on all present. There IS,
in short a general outbreak OF kissing. Al
most family gatherings some benevolent
elder, wearing a fur cap, long white beard
and red cloak, enacts the role OF santa
Claus and distributes the gifts.

Another evidence OF the determination
OF the owners Of the local ball club to
buy up every available player of repute
who is on the market, came last night.
when a deal whereby Charley Hickman,
the former Detroit infielder, become
Nationalite, was closed.
Ever since Hickman jumped the Tiger
fold last Saturday, negotiations for his
purchase have been under way. but II
was not until late last night that the
purchase was conSumated-
The latest acquisition is now on his
way to Washington, and it is likely that
he will be in the lineup tomorrow after
noon. Just where Hickman will be
played has not been decided. His forte
lies in his ability a batter and 1t was
chiefly because of his reputation as
hitter that he was purchased. Hickman
has played first and second base AS
Manager Stahl will continue to hold
down the initial sack Hickman will
probably supplant Mullen at second.
