What Has Happened
On Christmas Day

How many know that Christmas
day was first celebrated in the year
s96. although not as q Christian fes-
tival until forty years after that date?
1t was not until the fifth century that
1t was permanently celebrated on Dec.
20. Many interesting events have &C.
Cured on Christmas, and many tradi-
tons cling to that day. They make
entertaining and instructive reading
for old and young alike, SO few are
jOtted down here as we linger over the
"walnuts and wine"
When Christmas comes on Sunday
it is considered a most lucky day. 1t
means good winter and an unusually
fine summer. Should a child be born
on\a Christmas Sunday it will be ia
vored by good fortune all its life.
Two notable coronations occurred on
Christmas day-that Of Charlemagne
as emperor Of the west in the year
300 and that Of William the Conquer
or at Westminster abbey in 1866.
Clovis, the first Christian king of
France, was baptized on Christmas
day, 1876.
The pilgrims, who condemned all
church festivals, spent their first
Christmas in America working hard
all day long amid cold and stormy
weather and commenced the building
of the first house in Plymouth, 1920.
1t is a significant fact that no great
battles were fought on Christmas day.
They have occurred on the Oath and
the Goth Of December. but the ami
versary of the advent of peace on
earth has ever been observed by ces-
sation of hostilities. A notable eX-
ception. however, is that of the bat
tie Of Okeechobee. Fla. in which
Zachary Taylor defeated the Indians
in 1897.
On Christmas day Of 1861 President
Lincoln and his cabinet met and de-
cided to comply with the demand OF

George Barstow, Lake street, Bar

lameness in the small of my back and
steady, dull ache across. my hips
that made it almost impossible for
me to lift. It was with the greatest

A LATER STATEMENT
! When Mr.. Barstow was interviewed
on June 5. 1911, he said: my for
mer endorsement of Doan's Kidney

has brought me entire relief from
kidney disorders.

He knows a splendid way he says, at

Des creep up close an drop a bit of

Lavenworth and Seventh street a large and complete

from its adjacent track and the moment McCormick

been active continuously at the head of private busi-
since the day they first started unless
Fred Krug is taken in Mr.. Simpson has owned the
lot where his carriage shop now stands, on Dodge
street. for fifty years and the present building
has been standing for more than thirty years When
Mr.. Simpson built it, he never thought of big sky
scraper being erected at his front door, and modestiy
admits his lack OF prophecy. In the old shop that
used to stand the back of the lot in the very early
day Mr. Simpson built great many two-wheeled
carts for Brigham Young during the Mormon exodus.
"old Brigham business man and leader
who had his own ideas" says Mir. Simpson. He fur
nished horses and wagons far possible for the
married folks with children but the bachelors and
childess couples had load their goods the two
wheeled and push them clean across the praires
rivers, mountains and desert to Salt Lake valley.
Nowadays the printers boy kicks If he has to push
a small package two three blocks in a two-wheeled
cart; but many a chap who was only boy in years
has showed OF those vehicles through thousands
OF miles of mud sand rock sagebrush and cactus;
and the money for them left here in Omaha.
They served the purpose however, just well the
larger wagons hauled by horses"

In 1870 as the old chronicer relates, there were
no heaven-pointing spires in Omaha. The various

Biting Finger Nails an Ugly Habit

One of the most unfortunate habits which
young girl contract is that of biting the finger
nails in times Of nervousness excitement OF all
things girl should take pride in keeping hands
soft and white her nails we'll polished in good
order The nails do not require manieuring
to look we'll, but they do demand certain amount
ordinary and consideration OF all things the
tips should be pretty shaped and the cuticle kept
soft and free from hangnails
All this is impossible for the girl who will not
refrain from indulging in this worst of all ugly habits
She must make up her mind always 10 hide her hands
in disgrace for she cannot infct either upon herself
her friends hideous a sight her hands with
their nails bitten half the quick and the ugly
which always conspicuous at the the
fingers of one who bites her nails.
1t is by no means easy task to ones self
Of the habit OF biting the nails. To commence with
strong self-control and firm determination must be
brought TO bear. Some little discomfort well must
be endured It is a curious fact that the sure
means of overcoming the habit is to have the nails
always well manicured When they look nicely polished

and begin TO acquire shape it gradually becomes
easier to let them alone. But they will have to be
done at least day. perhaps oftener, If the
experiment is to be crowned with real success.
This deplorabe habit is of course, governed
entirely by nervousness, but the girl who exert
sufficient control overcome this unfortunate failing
will develop amSunt of character that will help
her to accomplish many big things in life.
While biting the finger nails is the most
fortunate of all habits, because it will ruin
of womans chief charms her hands, still there
others equally deplorabe which girl should
struggle hard to overcome Biting the lips for ex-
ample, will this feature that should be so
beautiful and it will also II INDUCED in continually
destroy all the pretty lines of the mouth. Some girls
constantly playing with or lingering their
mouth or face-smply another nervous habit that is
singuary unattractiye and should be overcome with
all haste
RepOse is great asset to a girls charm, and the
women who are most remarkable for its quality are
those who young girls have fought and conquered
every tendency toward giving in all forms Of nerv-
BUSINESS and all nervous habits.
