Linen Tobacco Pouch.

A tobacco pouch that is easily made
by the girl who embroiders only a lit
tie is of gray. tan or dull blue home
spun linen embroidered with a con-
ventional design of crossed pipes on
one side OF the pouch and with the
monogram of the owner on the other
side.
Cut the linen in two pieces, with a
r~saAs@ssagottom and hnlging aidas
narrowing to a neck and widening
again above 1t. Stitch the two sides
together to the neck, where there is
a casing, and leave the upper part or
rufie open at each side.
Line the bag with oiled silk If you
can find it in a color that looks we'll
with the pouch; If not, with a heavy
waterproof silk.
Embroider the pipes In Kensington
stitch in a dark brown flo, using a
lighter tone of brown in center of
bowl for high lights. The mouthpiece
and rim of the pipes a be worked in
gold thread or. If you fear that may
tarnish, in an old gold flo.
The monogram on the other side of
the pouch can be done In the same
shades as the pipes. The letters should
be heavily padded and worked in satin
stitch.
A cord should be used as a draw
string rather than a ribbon. which is
too feminine for such a bag. If a
cord cannot be bought in the right
colors one can be twisted by using
several shades of brown and dull cop
perry red rope silk.

SANTA CLAUS
IN PORTO RICO

NHRISTMAS in Spain is a reli-
gious festival rather than a so
- cial one. It was so originally in
Porto Rico. but the population
has been influenced partly by the
spirit of the new world and partly by
the many American merchants who re-
side in the cities and who exert an in
fuence much greater than the mum
bers would seem to warrant.
The churches welcome the day with
chimes which begin at midnight and
last until the midnight of the next day.
What with one church beginning ten
minutes too soon and another ten min
utes too late and a third at the right
moment, what with bells which ring
every fifteen minutes and bell ringers
who under some ancient custom will
sound the great bells every half hour,
the air is filed with music which never
seems to end.
If you are neal a campanile the eff
feet is not altogether pleasant on ac-
count of the volume of sound striking
the ear with too much force, but in a
public square several hundred yards
from the nearest belfry, where trees

Sin Eaters.

"Sin eaters of the old days, like
"mutes'' of quite recent times. were
hired performers at funerals. In con-
sideration of sixpence in money. a
bowl of beer and a crust of bread these
sires, as they were called-"long, lean.
ugly. lamentable rascals"-would by
eating over the body take upon them
selves all the sins of the deceased and
so free him from afterward walking
the earth as a ghost, so that his soul
might rest In peace. This custom pre-
vailed all over Wales and the adjoin-
ing English counties and was observed
even down to 1856. The usage is said
to have arisen from a mistaken inter-
probation of Hosea ~. s. 'They eat up
the sin of my people," The more like
" origin of this strange custom is the
Levitical scapegoat. A much later rem
nant of this obtained at Amersden. Ok

a cake and a 1agon of ale were brought
to the minister in the church porch

and buildings break the sound waves,
or in suburbs on the hillside the effect
is uhspeakably delightful.
Pleasantest of all is 1t when you are
sitting Ia the inner court or quadran-
gle of a Porto Rican home. Around
you on four sides the house rises above
you'll and In the grounds or in great
tubs and porcelain pots rich flowers,
grafeful vines and restful trees afford
shade, color and perfume. The sound
of the bells descends from the air
aboFe very much like a benediction.
You sit in an easy chair, and servants
brink you tea or steaming coffee,
syf55enneats and biscuits, coufections
and cigarettes, while a daughter or son
plays ancient songs or dances upon a
mandolin or guitar.
The churches are crowded; so are the
clubs and most of the places of recrea-
ton. Every vehicle is in use. and here
and there can be seen young men and
women trying to initiate English mod
els. Some of the people of the noun
tain districts carry out many of their
early superstitions in regard to Christ
mas. They hang over the doors of
their houses boughs of trees which are
supposed to possess charms and often
conduct marriage ceremonies under
great canopies made of these charmed
trees.
A great many wild flowers are In
bloom at Christmastide, and these are
worn by children of the mountain dis
tricts in wreaths and garlands about
their heads, necks and waists. The
Christmas giving is sadly missing in
our new possessions. The churches
hold no Christmas tree. and there are
few charitable societies to give feasts.
However, one hospital for old people
and orphans in Ponce gives a Christ
mas fete, and the inmates have a good
meal and receive warm clothing, med
icines and other needful gifts.
The American occupation has brought
extra Christmas cheer to the people of
the island. The American residents
celebrate the day in good American
fashion, and, best of all, they put
money into circulation and give zest to
industry and business.

When Shepherds Watched by Night.

When ShepnerCS Watched ny NiSht'
Some historians contend that the
shepherds could not have watched by
night on the Bethlehem plains in De-
cember, it being a period of great in
clemency. In answer to this a well
known student says: bethlehem is
not a cold region. The mercury usual
~ stands all the month Of December
at 46 degrees. Corn is sown during
this time, and grass and herbs spring
up after tn, rains, so that the Arabs
drive their 6ocks down from the noun
tains into the plains. The most deli
cate never make fires till about the
end of November, and some pass the
whole winter without them. From
these facts / think it is established
without doubt that our Saviour was
born on the 25th day of December, the
day which e church throughout the
world has united to celebrate in honor

AS result of a fight which Oc-
Cured on a street car Tuesday night
in Aberdeen, Conductor Drake was
taken to the Aberdeen General hospi-
tai in an unconscious condition,
while his assailant made his escape.
Just how the trouble started is
not known, but as the car was leav-
ing Aberdeen two men got aboard.
Some words were exchanged and one
of the men suddenly struck a vicious
blow, telling him. Drake was then
given terrible beating as he lay
across a seat. His face was badly
bruised and cut.
The car was stopped and then run
back to Aberdeen. While brakes
injuries are very painful it is not
believed they are serious.

doing this, the matter could be set

DECISIONS OF THE
STATE SUPREME COURT

OLYMPIA, Nov. 16.--Because the
legal notices concerning the improve
ment of Ontario street, Hoquiam,
were not printed in the official city
paper, but another paper and other
charter provisions were ignored, the
supreme court says the assessment
roll is void. 1t therefore grants the
injunction asked for by the Poison
Shingle company and the Coates
Shingle company to enjoin the city
authorities from attempting to col
lect the assessment.
In the case of Frank M. McCand-
less against Fred T. Peterson and
others to recover property held on
tax foreclosure the supreme court
has reversed the judgment of the
lower court for plaintiff.
