YULETlDE I'M SHETLAND.
Curious Customs In the Island Where
the Ponies Come From.

Curious Customs In the Island Where
The Ponies Come From.
The festival of Yule, as is well
known, dates back to prehistoric
times, when men worshiped nature
rather than natures God.
The inhabitants Of the Shetland
isles are descended from Norsemen,
who were Zealots in religious belief
and "Yule' to them meant Il season Of
great importance. The "Gammel Norsli
HUI signifies, literally, wheel" and
the festival so called was held in honor
of the sun at the winter solstice wheel
ing round toward the equator The re-
turn of the sun formed an important
period of the year as being the begin
ming of renewed life in nature, which
only could be revived by the light and
warmth of the ascending orb
The course of the sun was observed
in all things as far as possible. Every
thing was turned from left to right
the boat was so turned on the water
the corn stacks so built in cour8es, the
mill so turned in grinding aud the
wheel in spinning in fact everything
went with the sun. even the round of
the drinking horn.
Many superstitions included in ma
ture worship had fun scope at the
"Hiul' time-or more modern "Yule"
when Il vast multitude of ''trows,"
or fairy folk, who ut that season were
not only active. but malicously dis
posed, had to be propitiatcd.
To give the fairy folk no opportunity
of playing tricks, the fishing crecI and
lines were removed from the wall, the
spinning wheel taken out of gear and
its integral parts laid aside, and every
thing suspended from ceiling or walls
lifted down, as if left in their usual
places the ubiquitous elves were sup
posed to set all going against the suns
motion, which Of course would mean
serious trouble. The time of Yule was.
and still is, rigidly observed as ''helly''
i. e., time of rest from all manner
of labor.-Madame.

Christmas In Guam.

Christmas was celebrated in Guam
last year in as true American style a.
the possibilities of the situation would
permit. Great interest was taken by
the Americans in celebrations for the
native children \ number of enter
tainments were provided. A feature
was floating Christmas tree, mag
nifcently decorated, which was parad-
ed through the streets of Agana drawn
by six plumed mules with costumed
outrders and preceded by a native
band and from which Santa Claus dis
trlbuted abundance of good cheer.

CALLED ON POLICE
FOR ASSISTANCE
BATTLE WITH SOME CHINESE
ON NUUANU STREET TODAY.

Tax Collector Francis had an en-
counter with some Chinese this MORN
ing and had to call upon the police to
assist him in carrying out his orders
to seize a sufficient quantity of the
stock owned by the Chinese to satisfy
claim of delinquent taxes.
The trouble occurred at the koa fur
niture establishment of the Fung Inn
Company on Nuuanu street near Bere-
tania. There was a claim of about S125
for unpaid taxes due the Territory and
Francis tried to collect the money. The
Chinese seemed in no hurry to pay and
Francis was directed by Tax Assessor
Holt to make a sufficient seizure of
goods in the store to realize at auction
sale sufficient sum to liquidate the gov
eminent claim.
Francis and an assistant went to the
store but the. removal of the goods was
resisted by the Chinese. Finally Fran
els had several police officers go to the
place and prevent the Chinese from in
terfering with the removal of the fur
niture. Attempts were made this af-
ternoon by the Chinese to put up a
bond of $500 so that they could get
their furniture restored to them.
