THE ORIGIN OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE

Italy. Christmas is celebrated in 9TH

great family festival, and is much
given to pleasure and dining.
I'm Sicily the fir tree is unknown as
a Christmas adjunct but the very In
dicrous custom OF beating the Dach-
elor" is observed by the women. All
of tho unmarried men in the village
are driven into tie church after mass
by the outnumbering women and run
about the sacred edifice and beaten
until they declare toften falsely that
they will wed ere another Christmas
comes around
In all Catholic countries peculiar
Christmas custom is the barring of the
right leg of the "Santo Bambino,' or
sacred child used in the representa-

to the people OF the civilized world,
it is surprising how very few there
are who know Of its origin or its in
PRODUCTION into the celebration of the
most beautiful and impressive festi-
val Of the year.
Legends there are in plenty. but
few of them seem founded upon ba-
sis Of fact. Most of them have been
handed down-with the customary
warping from the original story-from
generation to generation
The use of the fir tree i'm the ccle-
bration of Christmas. is usually be
lieved to have originated in Germany.
Careful research proves this to have
the ancient customs and institutions,
its origin as Il Christmas adjunct is
traced to an Irishman.
1t was Saint Columbanus. who en-
gagged in converting the pagans of
Germany and Switzerland to Chris
tianity, found them SO firmly Impress
ed with the sacredness Of trees-es-
pecially the tir-that he conceived the
"a Of endowing them with an illus
.ative Christian meaning. To these
people the tree was an object OF wor-
ship from which no amount OF reas-
oning would convert them. and be-
cause Of this, Saint Columbanus and
his fellow missionaries found IL cs-

AS far back as the seventh century
the fir tree, because os it's evergreen
vendure. was known in Christmas
writings and pictures as a symbol OF
eternal life, while legend dating
from the same period, represents an
old man bearing a lighted tree who
entered every home at Christmas time
and granted a single wish to each OF
the inmates. The evolution Of this
beneticent old parsonage. with his
beautiful fif into our own Santa Claus
and his gift laden tree. is easily trac-
ed.
1t is believed, moreover. that the FIR
tree was used for festival celebration
long prior to the Christian era, for the
poet Virgil speaks of the "oscilla"
suspended from the pine tree branches
These oscilia We're small carved or

About 100 armed Out at Paw Paw.
Much S,lller Crowds at Other
Places Friends Disappointed

Congre,mau Chas r. Townsend OF
Jackson. candidate for United States
senator las been here and gone. lie
made whrlwind automobile tour of
Van Bren county last Friday. He was
greetd by smaller crowds than had been
Anticipated. The farmers are busy and
areapparently uot very enthusiastic over
the, distinguished congressman's cam
paIgn.
Mr. Townsend made the trip in his
own automobile and was accompanied
through Van Buren county by 9. ..
Monroe, editor of the South Haven Trib-
une, and Chas. E. Hall also of South
Haven, an old time schoolmate of the
congressman.
The party arrived in Paw Paw on
nearly schedule time. The automobile
was run in the shade of the trees on the
old court house grounds, where a crowd
of perhaps 100 people had gathered TO
hear the speech. This is said to be the
largest crowd that greeted the congress
man during the day. Larger even than
the evening crowd at South Haven, where
the speaker had been extensively adver-
tised. The speaker was introduced by
II. c. Waters.
The congressman stated on the start
that he was not out on a speech making
tour, but merely to meet the people. In
the course of his remarks he contrasted
the new with the old method of electing
United States senators and urged every
enrolled voter TO participate in the pri-
maries. He said that there we're at least
% per cent more clerks and employees
at Washington than were necessary, but
did not say whether he would correct
the system if elected or not. He touched
the subject of insurgency rather lightly,
but intmated rather strongly that he
was not in accord with the present tariff
law
He made a strong appeal for the old
soldiers vote and devoted considerable
time to the discussion OF bills he la To-
troduced in the soldiers interest. He
regretted, however, that the bills ip
question had not become a law. he
spoke of the part he had taken in amend
ing the rules of the house and the hard
work be had done as a member of that
body.
In conclusion, Mr.. Townsend stated
that he was not begging for a seat in
the senate, but if elected he expected
nothing but hard work. lie had with
drawn from the congressional race in his
district TO make this race and If elected
it would be the heighth of his ambition
to come back and face the people of his
state All the compensation be had re-
ceved, he stated, as public servant
was the friendship OF his constituents
