naval battle between the Russian and
Japanese fleets is now on near the is.j
land of Anambas and that there are

The Reports.
The reports come from widely
separated points. The scene of the
engagement is given as the island Of
Anambas which is rather vague as
there are three islands lying about
fifty miles apart and all about two
hundred miles northeast Of Singapore
The southernmost Of these is st.
Anambas, the westernmost, Middle
Anambas and the one lying farther
north, North Anambas. ,'
They are Dutch possessions which
would account for the presence OF
the war ships Of that nation being
present, probably being ordered there
when it was seen that there was
likelihood OF a battle in that neighbor.
hood. The islands are about seven
hundred miles north of Batavia, Is.
land Of Java and twenty-seven hun.
sdred miles southwest Of Yokohoma.
Although the report of battle is not
.confirmed, it is not at all improbable
that the greatest of naval battles is
taking place at this point now as it
Is here that the Russian fleet are said

his original plan to pay each adult

district, on Rosebud reservation, in
South Dakota, $25 as his share of the
purchase price of the land which was
ceded to the government last year.
The money due women and children
on the reservation is to be held in
trust by the government.
The Indians have Informed Mr..
Leupp that unless full payment of $25
each is made to each man, woman
and child they will refuse to accept

the Indians agree to his proposition
the money will be held in the treas

representing the Transfers union and
the Federation of Labor called upon
Mayor Dunno at the city hall and
made formal protest against closing

streets. Mayor Dunno assured them
that the union teamsters would have
the same privilege of the streets as
any one else as long as they pre-
served the peace. The mayor said
that he would allow no discrimina-
ton and that Union teamsters and
the Ward company teamsters should
have equal rights. stsSE
IN reference to the charge of brutal
ity made against the police he told
the committee, which was composed
Of seventeen members. to file charges
In writing with the chief Of police

THE MYSTIC MIsTLEToE.
once n Feature of Pagan Rites, It Now
Belongs to Lovers.

once n Feature of Pagan Rites, It Now
Belongs to Lovers.
From time mmemorial the white ber-
ried mistletoe has played a leading part
in Yuetide festivities, though 1t has not
always conveyed the osculatory privi-
leges which give it its value in the eyes
of the romantic youth of to-day. Like
so many other features of the Christmas
celebration, mistletoe has been borrowed
from the pagans of antiquity and Chris
tianized by the lapse of centuries. The
Persians before the birth of Christ used
the mistletoe in their sacred rites, and
in parts of India pagan priests still In
corporate ii in their ritual. 1t figures
largely In Scandinavian mythology. Bal
dur, the son Of Odin, though demigod,
was slain by a spear OF mistletoe,
proof of its magic powers.
1t is from the Druds Of old England.
however, that mistetoe has come to us.
The Druidical priests, sprung, 1t Is said,
from the magi of the east, the wise men
who worshiped at the cradle of the infant
Savior, held the mistletoe as their most
sacred possession, and the cutting OF the
pretty parasite from the oak, the tree
which the Druids claimed God loved
more than any other, was attended with
/ the greatest bOlemnlly. Ou luo AtiuiuS
festival day grand procession, leading
two white oxen, moved to the mystic
grove. There the oxen were fastened
to the oak by their horns, and white
robed priest climbed into the leafess
branches and cut the punches Of mistle-
toe with a golden knife. The oxen were
then sacrificed and religious services per-
formed, after which the procession re-
turned to the temple IN the forest and
the mistletoe was deposited In the Druid
ical arcanum.
Besides taking its place In the relig-
Ious observances of the Druids, the mis-
tletoe, which the priests gave name
meaning "all healing" was made into
many curious decoctions by processes In
which times and seasons and incanta-
tions were supposed to add to Its mystic
rious powers. These medicines were re-
garded as cures for human Ills generally.
With the advance Of civilization and
the death of superstition mistletoe has
iost it's religious character, but not its
popularity, and the forests OF England
and of our own Southern States are al
eagerly frequented by mistletoe gather
ers as ever were the dark woods of the
ancient Druids.
