COMMITTEE
what Archer proposed, if it thought
best.
The cost of publishing the proclama-
ton which the clerk said would be
about $500, was urged against the reso-
luton.
"I am not in favor of holding over
when we can avoid it by issuing the
proclamation, said Archer.
Hustace's Regret.
cit will not be our fault if we have
to hold over for another two years.
said Hustace. cit will be my regret"
When it came to vote Archer voted
aye, and Fern voted aye, when their
names were first called and Cox the
second time his name was called. All
the others asked to be passed, and the
clerk kept calling the roll of the mem
bers who had not voted, half a dozen
times before Kealoha finally summoned
up courage to vote to hold over, if he
could, by voting "no" on the resolu-
ton. He was joined by Dwight, Har-
vey and Hustace, and the resolution
was lost.

three electric lights. There were other

Porto Rico S
Christmas
Few Stockings No Chimneys

Christmas for the Americans in POr-
to Rico is pretty much the same, SO
far as the observance of the day is
concerned, as Christmas at home or
anywhere else.
The chief difference is in those char
acteristics of the season that are due
to or are Influenced by the weather,
which more nearly resembles that Of
the Fourth of July than a winter holt
day.
There is the same spirit of good
feeling, the same CHEEKY greeting, the
same happy experience for the little
people in the shape of gifts from San
ia Claus and that same more or less
sincere determination on the part Of
their elders to forgive their enemies
which sometimes they do.
Among the natives Christmas day is
church holiday only, and it is very
generally observed by them as such,
but it is not the occasion of family re-
unions nor the day of gifts, as with
US.
The Porto Rican family gatherings
occur and their Santa Claus makes his
appearance on the 9th of January
"El dia de los Reyes" or 'the day OF
the kings" concentrating the bring
ing of gifts to the infant Christ-but
Kriss Kringle manifestly does not come
down the chimney for the very good
reason that there are no chimneys to
Porto Rican houses, and for equally
obvious reasons he does not bring his
reindeer nor his sleigh.
Instead Of hanging up their stock
tngs the native children prepare a box
filed with grass to represent manager
and place it outside their doors on the
night Of the 9TH of January, just as
the little Dutch children in Holland
put out their wooden shoes.
Christmas will always be a church
holiday to the natives, and Ell dia de
los Reyes will also probably always
be observed by them. But the Porto
Rican is quick to pick up American
