BUY AT HON E.

We desire to call attention to a
communication on our first page
from Martin Shea, Secretary of the
Sank Centre Grocery company, as
it is fertile of suggestion and
furnishes much food for thought.
Every dollar oe Sank Centre
money that is kept in Sank Centre
is distinct and positive addition
to the assets of the city. We be-
lieve it is a civic duty for a person
to buy at home when he can get
the article he desires of the same
quality and price in his home town.
If this rule was rigidly adhered to
there is hardly a town in the
Northwest whose business would
not be increased at least one-third
during the next year.
But desirable as it is to keen
home money at home it is still more
desirable to encourage those insti
tutions that bring into our city
outside money. st. Paul, Mime
apolis, Chicago and New York were
not built up with the money de
rived from local trade. 1t is the
stream of outside dollars that i.
constantly pouring in upon then
that has made them the great cities
they are.
This city by reason of location
transportation facilities is specially
adapted for many industries. lie
us 60 after them.

Co. of Lake City, Minnesota, during
period of thirty seven years Of pains
taking culture brought their stock to
the highest standard of excellence,
purity and vigor. Buy the best, that
which has been tested. Foreign stuff
that is hawked over the country by
Tree Tramps like cheap machinery, is
always disappointing, even worse than
that, as you are obliged to labor and
wait four or five years to find out at
the end that you have been miserably
and rascally sold.
Geo. H. Stout, agent for the Jewell
Nursery, will call on you in the near
future and be glad to take yonr order
for the best nursery stock that money
can buy.
Yours respectfully,

HOW TO GET DESIRABLE LEGIS-
LATION.

Lawson has Numbered his anath
emas against the System and thu
people have applauded. yet the
System undisturbed continues in
business. Ida Tarbell has exposed
the iniquities of the Standard Oil,
yet the people still pay tribute
Russell has laid bare the exactions
of the Meat Trust but the exactions
still exist. 1t is as futile to shoot
words at corporation as it would
be to send crowd Of boys to
capture battleship with pea
shooters. The only way in the
world that relief can be secured is
by legislation. Action is de-
manded, not talk. What did the
last congress do along these lines?
Nothing. What did our legisla-
ture do last winter? Nothing.
What will the next congress or the
next Legislature do? Nothing, I'M
less the people take action. When
the watch dog sleeps thieves steal
the householder's treasures. The
citizens, of, nation must guard
their own rights. If they sleep the
sleep of Indifference and depend
wholly on officials they will surely
be plundered:
1t is time for the members of all
political parties to wake up and see
that their conventions adopt plat
forms that represent their senti-
ments and then serve notice on all
officials that if they do not enact
legislation in accordance with the
principles promulgated they will be
supplanted by those who will.
Not one in a thousand of the
average voters ever spends a
moments time or goes to one cent
of expense to find out how candi-
dates for official positions stand on
the questions of vital interest to
him, or to find out if he possesses
energy or ability enough to &C
complish anything even if he
stands right. They let men who
hold petty positions and ever alert
interests dictate nominations and
elections. When officials under
stand they must enact legislation
demanded or lose their positions
the people will get the legislation
they demand, not before.
Which shall rule this republic,
men or money? 1t is up to the
men to say.

DIR. Anna Shaw says that the
way for the women of the country

BENEATH THE MlSTLETOE,
Origin of One Of the Happiest Customs
of Christmas Day Is Traced
Back to "Conqueror."
By HENRY VAN DYKE.

The origin Of one of the happiest GUS
toms of Christmas, which has been al
lowed to lapse with the passing years.
that of kissing under the mistletoe-is
traced back to the coming over of the
conqueror.' Washington Irving re-
minded us that the mistletoe is still
hung up in farmhouses and kitchens all
over England; and the young men
have the privilege of kissing the girls
under it. plucking each time a berry
from the bush. When the berries are
all plucked the privilege ceases" At
one time,> it is said, the youth could
claim a kiss for each berry be picked,
but unless there were a great many
berries and very few pretty maids such
a liberty would have to be used with
moderation. Mares says that the
maiden who was not kissed under the
mistletoe at Christmas would not be
married during the coming year.
A strange superstition prevails in
many English families in connection
with the Christmas holly. Before mid
night on New Years eve every vestige
OF holly must be removed, or ill-luck
will be sure to fall upon the house. The
inference to be drawn from this is that
the New Year must be entered upon in
all seriousness, with nothing to recall
the festivities.
According to the old-estab lished rule.
the holly should not be taken down un-
til after the twelfth night

CHRISTMAS OF PURlTANS.
After Time Of Queen Bess Birthday
Of Christ Was Made Occasion
for Mad Revelry.

More and more after the time OF
casion for mad revelry instead Of JOY
GUS Christian celebration.
Finally that part of the English peo-
pie called the Puritans, who had become
disguised with the growing foolishness
of the Christmas celebration, got parlia-
ment to prohibit Christmas festivities
Of any sort. And for ten years the only
way Christmas was celebrated was by q
fast. Even for merely decorating their
church with evergreens the trustees OF
st. Margaret's WESTMINSTER church,
in London, were placed under arrest.
The Puritans went entirely too far,
you see, in their sternness, and, natur-
ally, the people rebelled So they be-
gan celebrating Christmas secretly at
home with all sorts of festivities. And
because they did it secretly, they felt az
if they we're very sinful. when tho
church refused to use her pleasant nests
Satan stole them and made them
snares" So people said at that time; or,
as other people put it: Father Christ
mas was let in at the back door,
A little later, when the Puritans lost
their political power in England and
had to seek refuge elsewhere, many of
them, as you know, came to America.
Bringing with them, as they did, their
stern prejudice against festivals, they
completely ignored Christmas for a
long, long time.
Their children and great-grandchil-
dren, however, did not inherit their
prejudice so strongly, and then, too, they
were Influenced by the Dutch colonists
in New Amsterdam (now New York;,
who always kept very merry but per-
fectly respectable, Christmas.
SO, at last, Puritan New England
came around and permitted Christ
mas to be celebrated once again in all
her homes with moderate festivities
and rejoicing after attendance at the
place where God is preached"
