MERCY WORK
Christmas Cheer of Substan-
tial Kind to Be Given to
Needy Families.

In San Antonio, Phoenix and other
progressive cities. temporary organi-
cations of "The Good Fellows" have been
acts of unostentatious charity. Its mem
for the needy and the ones in want.
Through the various organizations and
the press of the cities where these or
CARNATIONS have been perfected. a large
Christmas fund has been secured and
will be devoted to the worthy cause on
Christmas.
FL Paso needs no such organization,
nual duty it has been to perform these
acts of Unostentious charity. Its menu
bers are good fellows 365- days in the
year and on Christmas concentrate all
their good fellowship upon the Christ
mas cause. The Elks of FL Paso have
made many merry ChristmaseS for the
poor of the city and the Christmas work
is one of the many precepts of this
lodge.
This year the Christmas cheer is to be
diffused as usual but more practical
methods have been adopted by the COM
mittee in charge of the work for apply
ir;s the Christmas fund The annual
Christmas Tree and supper which has
been given each Christmas eve in the
Elks' club has become such an institu-
ton that it was found almost impos-
sible to accommodate the crowds.
Adopting the plan of the practical
charity workers, the Elks are prepar-
ing a list of those known to be in need
or to whose homes the Christmas spirit
will not enter. To compile this list the
committee, through secretary H Y.
Ellis. is sending out the monthly bulle-
tin with an appeal to the members TO
contribute literally to the Christmas
fund. They are also asked to send in
the names of those known to be in need
or with whom Christmas might be but
a name.
These lists are to be prepared and a
Christmas basket will be delivered by a
brother Elk at the door of each needy
nome on the night of nights throughout

pointed heavenward. He asked the
people to gather about it in their own
homes, where it should shelter nothing
but loving gifts.
On Christmas eve we illuminate the
tree with many Pickering candles-un-
less we prefer safety to sentiment,
when we make use of the electric
lighted devices. One may choose
among several picturesque accounts
of the origin of this practice. In me-
dieval times when the forests seemed
peopled with none but sacred trees,
there was a tradition Of particular
holiness being invested in an illumi.
mated tree. Then the ancient Jews
held a Feast of Light about Christmas
time in which candles were an impor
tant feature, so that their use may
oddly enough have been thus adopted
by the Christians. The huge Yule
candle signified the coming of the light
into the world. The most beautiful
idea is that our use of candles is de
rived from the fact that probably
when Christ was born twinkling lights
were burning in every house.
The holly and mistletoe indispens
able for holiday decoration were erig
inally identified with pagan festivals
There is tradition that holly is the
bush in which Jehovah appeared to
Moses. The mistletoe was an<object OF
great veneration to the Druids,/ al
though only when it grew upon an
oak tree. The propriety of kissing
under the mistletoe Is relic of an old
Scandinavian myth. 1t seems that
Balder, the Apollo of the North, was
hated by one Loh because every.

and water" had given promise not to
hurt the former handsome gentleman
Whoever it was had thus coerced ali
things of the earth and sea, had some
how neglected to mention the matter
to the insignificant mistletoe. So
Loh straightway made an arrow of
mistletoe, and being an unprincipled
chap induced blind Holder to shoot
Balder. Little good it did him, how
ever, for the gods restored Balder to

toe to the Goddess of Love to keep.
Everyone who passed under it received
a kiss to show that it was the emblem
of love, and not death. The popularity
of mistletoe was undated for centu-

decking of churches together with
kissing at the services, because both
were found to set the young ladies and

walls of Christendom The Christmas
tree, the gift giving, the candles, the
holly and the mistletoe have become
SO identified with our celebration of
Christmas that they seem as inherent
and peculiar to it as the radiant points
to the Star of the Nativity. And yet
1t is to antiquity and heathendom that
we owe the customs we observe, the
stock phrases we utter and even the
mince pie, without which no Christ
mas dinner is complete. The Ger
mans. the Scandinavians, the Jews, the
Romans, the Goths and the Saxons
have all contributed to make our
Christian festival.
Merry Christmas" It is on our
lips from the stroke Of twelve that
ends the vigil Of Christmas eve until
the last candle has burned out on
Christmas night. If we think Of it al
all we accept merry" as meaning
lively, sprightly and gleesome and
wonder a bit perhaps at its preference
AS a matter Of fact when the English
first used the old Saxon word in this
connection, spelling it "merrie," ii
meant simply pleasant and agreeable
but we cling to it in spite OF its
changed character.
The day before Christmas we bring
into the house a great fir tree that is
made the center Of the festivities. II
is an old German legend that has pro-
vided us with this pretty custom.
Saint Wilfrid, the tale runs, was one
day cutting down one of the sacred
oaks of the Druids. Presently great
wind seized 1t and 1T fell, split in four
pieces. Behind 1t Saint Wilfrid saw a
young fir tree. standing staunch and
unframed, pointing green spire to
the heavens. He thereupon pro-
claimed it a holy tree and the tree Of
the Christ child because its leaves
were evergreen and its majestic spire

With the exception of the inter

spects has moved along as usual. At
the Jerome-Verde Copper Mine Super
ir+endent Dean has everything ready
y start up with the exception of one
or two small parts Of machinery which
is expected to arrive daily. When the
work of unwatering the shaft will
at once be started With the new
machinery IL is thought that this will
take but a few days. When the shaft
is unwatered and the large pump in
stalled below the work OF develop
ment will be rushed along as rapidly
as possible. The line of the Arizona
Power company has been completed
to the mine and that company is ready
to deliver power.

When once in operation it is, from
the character Of the plant, almost an
impossibility to tie up the work. It
is expected, the machinery will all be
on the ground within a short time.
The purchase outright Of the claims
Of w. S. Owen and the Allisons by

means that this company will start
on in the near future. This company's
holdings are located about one and
half miles south Of Jerome, and
are well within the proven ore zone.
Considerable work has been done on
the property and that the results were
satisfactory is proven by the purchase
of the claims by the company. The

lication Of the figures in January, 1909,

quite significant when it is rememb-
cred that for the last three months
the increase has averaged over Il, 000,-

The fast that in face OF the enorm-

l.. c. Shattuck. who is prominently

business and pleasure.
While in Boston he was engaged

ed "a they were by the very favorable
report OF a mining expert who had
been sent TO this district 20 inyesti-
gate and report on conditions at this
and other mines received favorable
consideration by the board of govern
cr's OF the exchange and there seems
TO be no doubt that the stock will
be listed This will be OF great benefit
financially and otherwise to this
stock as will give it more stability and
fluctuations in the copper market will
not so greatly affect it.
Mr.. Shattuck found trade conditions
in the iron and allied industries very
prosperous with an excellent outlook
for the future. Labor Of all kinds Is
in great demand and the big plants
have orders booked for months ahead
The cotton industry, be found to
be not so thriving however. and many
idle men are to be found in cities de-
pending on this industry.
In his opinion. any action taken by
the big metal selling companies can
not affect the selling price Of copper,
as it is regulated entirely by the law
OF supply and demand.
The Shattuck Arizona mine is not
running on full capacity at present
as the market is rather slow but It
is expected shortly that the mine will
be pushed to the full capacity OF its
