A characteristic sight which precedes
a Roman Christmas Is the so called
cottio, or sale Of fish by auction, which
Is held at San Teodoro, nea the forum,
in the small hours Of the morning, and
every year attracts large crowds Of
buyers and sightseers. 1t is a sight
worth seeing, the vast circular market
literally packed with row upon row of
baskets, in which the scaly fry are
carefully arranged, the light ~glancing
Off their many colored scales In a
thousand prismatic reflections, while
the owner Of each stall shouts at the
top of his voice and the merry crowd
goes round laughing and bargaining
and trying to cheaper the fish, for at
Christmastide 1t often reaches fabulous
prices, and one Is reminded Of the ex-
travagance Of the ancient Romans, one
Of whom is said to have paid 10000
sesterces for a single gray mullet--

The unbending footman was still

They both turned toward the door

carefully over the threshold.

r WATER SPIRIT.
Origin OF Odd Beliefs About Rescl
Ing Drowning Persons.

ing Drowning PERSONS
liz Great Britain the belief that you
must not rescue a drowning person is
most prevalent in Cornwall and yari-
Gus parts of Scotland. The French
sailor and the boatman Of the Danube
bow to the decree, together with the
Russians, and let the people drown.
DR.. Taylor in his primitive Cul-
ture'' declares this lingering fondness
for this old creed is because the water
spirit y angry at being despoiIed of its
victim, and should the unlucky person
who has dared to Illustrate him trust
himself to the waters power he will
drown MS sure as fate.
The Bohemian fisherman siirinks
from snatchlng a drowning man from
the waters, fearing the water demon
will take away his luck in fishing and
drown him before he gets to shore with
the would be victim. In Germany
when some one is drowned they say,
1.-THE river spirit claims its yearly sac
rifee,'' or, ''The nix has taken him.
The belief is current not alone in
those countries above mentioned, but
the Kamchatkans rather than help a
man out Of the water would force him
under, and ii he should escape to the
shore no one would dare receive him
into his house or dare to give him food.
He is supposed to be dead after once
falling into the water.

The samiel is a hot. noxious cleo

deserts of Arabia and Africa. 1t moves
with the q~ulckness of lightning and
passes In narrow currents for a few
minutes at a time. 1t deals instant
death to every man or beast happening

Santa Claus is of German origin.
This is true if only because that is the
German name for st. Nicholas. That
be is an, old man Is because in the an
cient pagan feasts in celebration of
the decay of the old year ana the birth
of the new an old man played the prin-
clpafpart. Among the Greeks and Ro-
mans 1t was Saturn, the father Of all
the gods, and among the Norsemen il
was Thor, who was long bearded and
white haired. That the saint Is st,
Nicholas is due to the fact that that
venerable ~personage's feast day was
celebrated at about that period. st.
Nicholas was a bishop OF Myra, who
lourlshed early in the fourth century.
He is the patron saint of children and
schoolboys, and hence it was natural
that he should be a part Of a celebra-
ton when the children received gifts
and when they were allowed to be
heard as well as seen."-New York

the sight of the happiness of others,
stood side by side and gazed with long

costly gifts and brilliant decorations.
A small girl of twelve or fourteen,
with face unnaturally old and sharp,
unsmiling eyes, critically examined the
tree in silence. Up and down, from
side to side, her keen gaze wandered.
Il bet It's empty at the back" she
finally muttered.
Poor child! Her brief experience had
already taught her the unreality and
falsity of many glittering things. She
stepped quickly into the vestibule where
she could see that part of the tree away
from the window. A sudden Joy flashed
into her face.
ITS true-that tree is true" she
whispered eagerly. The back Is as
good as the front"
She hesftated an instant and then
raised her clasped hands be~seechingly.

Her intense longing made her voice
sharply imperative, and the first word
struck barshly on the ear of a richly
dressed young lady who was passing
close to her.

WANTS SHORE LAND.
Wallula Pacific Applies for River
Frontage.

Olympia, Nov, 16.-Application in
the name of Louis Gerllnger OF Port
land, was made yesterday to the state
land commissioner for the purchasa =
of shore land on the north bank of the
Columbia river in front of lot 3, see
tion "a, township 3. range east. This
IS near Drano.
Mr. Gerlinger is treasurer of the
Wallula Pacific Railway company, re-
Gently Incorporated to build a line of
railway down the north bank ot the
Columbia from Wallula to the Pacific
ocean. 1t has already secured about
40 miles of right of way and more is
being secured right along.
Surveys have been made and the
officers OF the company say that they
have line which nowhere will have
a greater grade than one-half per cent
and that the entire line Is a straight
down-hill pull to the sea.
Early in the organization of the
company it was stated in the ncwspa-
pers that the company was identified
with the Hartman interests. Later
developments indicate that the Chica-
go, Milwaukee Il st. Paul is probably
behind the company,
