has openly sympathized with
them. He was appointed by
Governor Sparks as County Com

criticism of the appointment at
the time, and within a few days
after the appointment Governor

friends "that the appointment was
the worst he ever made and he
wished he could undo il"

4E6inber 25 is a legal holiday in all
thS states and territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia. General recognition
of Christmas in America is of COM
paratively modern origin. A genera
ton or two ago the Roman Catholic
and the Protestant Episcopal churches
observed the day by religious services,
but the great body of Professionals, in
New England especially, ignored it as
they ignored Easter, says Youths
Companion.
The Dutch settlers in New York and
Pennsylvania observed the day, as did
also the English settlers in Virginia,
and the French and Spanish colonies
farther south. AS a more tolerant
spirit prevailed among the descend
ants of the Pilgrims, the Puritan OBJ
lection to Christmas celebrations dis
appeared.
Christmas was not observed even in
the Roman Catholic church till the
second century after Christ, when, ac-
cording to tradition, Pope T~elesphorus
instituted the celebration of the ami
versary of the birth of Jesus. The an
%niversary was celebrated in January,
March, April, May and September, at
different periods and in different parts
of Europe and Asia, and it was not I'M
til the fourth century that the east
ern and western churches agreed upon
December rs as the proper day.
The Christmas tree is of German
origin and Santa Claus is supposed to
be akin to the Knecht Rupert of north
ern Germany, to whom parents gave
their presents to be distributed to the
children on Christmas night. Rupert
dressed in a mask, wig, white robe and
high buskins, went about from house
to house, awarding the presents to the
young children, who supposed him to
be a supernatural messenger.
Kriss Kringle, another name for the
distributor of gifts, is a corruption of
the German Christ Kindlein, or Christ
child, from whom the CHM pas gifts
are supposed to come pristmas
tree was practically in Eng
land until after thdt bf Queen
Victoria to a Gerpd who in
troduced Germ
are derived froN heather customs
adapted by the Whristian fathers to
make it easy for the worshipers of the
old gods to accept Christianity.

. Sergeant Says Home That's Fit to
Go TO Wouldn't Welcome a Run
away SoIdier-A New Years
Burial of Cavalrymen.

There are few assertions from the
army just before Christmas, and the
company commander is almost as sure
of holding his men through the holt
days as the Sunday school teacher is
OF having an overlooking class until
the bespangled, candle-lit tree has
been pruned of it's gifts.
A recruiting sergeant is responsible
for the statement concerning Christ
mas and assertions.
Aren't men apt to desert their gar
risons at this time to get to their
homes for the h~olidays?" he vas
asked.
No" replied the sergeant, whose
many service stripes, several of which
had the white edging to indicate actual
field service in the islands, indicated
that he might be relied upon as IN au-
thority. Then he reasoned 1t out this
way:
"You see the man who has got a
home that's fit to go to on Christmas
o. any other time wouldn't have the
nerve to go to it as a deserter, be-
cause his folks would be respectable
and they wouldn't have any use for a
man who had run away from the army.
Then again the man who has a sort
of hankering to get to his own home
must have a streak of decency in him
that wouldn't let him desert.
"And the fellows who just take the
holidays as a time for a lot to eat
wouldn't desert now, for you can't beat
a company cook on roasting turkey
and baking mince pies. We're great
eaters in the army on Christmas. 1t
doesn't make much difference whether
we're round New York or on the
plains, or in the islands, that is, the
Philippines, every company has its
holiday feast. l never happened to
serve up in Alaska, but l bet they
don't let December rs go by just like
an ordinary day.
I'VE did miss one Christmas dinner
in the Seventh cavalry, though. That
WAS about 1890, when we had a fight
18th the Sioux on Wounded Knee
reek. The fight wasn't on Christmas,
hut two or three days later, although
Eor a week we had been expecting it.
That was in the Bad Lands, and our
New Years day we spent in digging
enough graves in the frozen ground
for 20 of the cavalry who had been
killed.
That wasn't a fair fight. ItMWas
t~reachery after surrender. WeWhad
captured about $50 bucks, and were
disarming them. There were nearly
as many more squaws hanging around
with rifles hidden under their blankets.
The medicine man was mumbling
something all the time, which didn't
sound well, but nobody really expect
ed a scrimmage then.
But, finally, that medicine man
stopped down, scraped up a handful of
sand, and threw it in the air. That
was the signal. In an instant bucks
and squaws fell on us with knives SSs1G
guns. For 20 minutes it was -

it will soon be one of the largest

The democratic state cou-en'
ton which was held at Bozeman
last week was chiefly noticeable
for its harmony, as the Butte
Inter. Mountain puts it. 1t did
nothing out of the ordinary ex.
ccpt to keep the peace. and end.
ed in genuine good humor. In
these respects it differed from
many conventions of tho party
held in Montana in recent years,
A singleness of purpose marked
the entire proceedings. From
beginning to end it was a Bryan
convention. All democrats are
orators and at the Bozeman con.
vention every other delegate
felt it to be a high privilege as
well as a duty he owed to home
and country to mention "that
peerless leader, that splendid
citizen in whom the hope of the
common people rests.' With
the Bryan speeches omitted the
actual business Of the conven-
ton could have been transacted
in a few hours. Side by side
were men there who had fought
each other tooth aud toe nall in
the past campaigns that made
Montana one of the greatest po-
litical battle grounds in the
country. If they had not for.
gotten they at least kept still.
Under the spell of the "peerless
one" they smoothed Mr.. Con-
RAIDS fuv with a meaningless
resolution, they complimented
Mr.. Clark, and forgot Joe Toole,
and endeavored to put all 9TH
ers in good humor. Valley
was represented by only
one delegate.
