" j a. y
That the management Of the Grand
is making every effort TO- provide a
pleasing entertainment for their pa
lions, is evidenced by the many plans
they have in view toward securing
attractions for this popular play house.
While road shows OF the quality de.
sired for local presentation are almost
imp ossible to secure, the management
is in correspo ndence with some first
class attractions. which they hope to
show here in thesnear future. In the
meantime they, haVe9a proposition un,
der consideration to offer big vaude-
vile entertainments every Saturday
night. They plan to secure four or
five first class acts in addition to the
usual numbers and also to increase the
molten picture feature, with some
extra good films added. If their plans
go through this offering will be given
every Saturday evening, and should
prove a very successful venture.

motor Trueke M. Need q No Reaf. !.

In paper read before the Electric
Vehicle Association of America, Mr.:
Hayden Eames called attention to the
fact that horse-drawn vehicles musa
remain idle for a ycertain portion of
the day in order to- rest the horses.
A recent Investigation showed that
the teams CT the different expresg
companies in New York city were idle
40 per cent. Of the total working hours.
much Of this idieness being due to the
fact that the horses needed rest, and
that the periods of loading the wagona
had to be suited to these rest hours.
The motor vehicle on the other HAND
requires no rest. and hence requires
no adjustment of the loading hours.

stories in King Olafs Christmas y
Another. in which real religious fer
vor and moral heroism play a part, Is
the story of the first Christmas tree
There stands at Altenbergen, in
northern Germany a statue erected in
1871 in honor of Saint Boniface; and
the place of the statue is said to be
the site of the first Christian church
in north Germany.
Boniface, who must not be confused
with any of the nine popes who bore
the name. was a Briton by birth. and
his name was Wynfrlth Declining
high ecclesiastical honor, he chose to
be a missionary to the rude tribes of
the German forests. OF these tribes
Tacitus tells us; and we know that
they were implacable in war and
bloody In their worship, but that
among their virtues was a marked
purity of private life and love of
home.
Each year these people sacrificed
to their gods. One of their holiest
shrines was a great oak at Geismar.
There they gathered at midnight at
the winter solstice, and offered fair
lad as sacrifice to call back the re-
treating sun.
Thus they we're assembled at the
Yuletide in the year 724 AS the mid
night approached, an old priest raised
the hammer to strike down the child.
when Boniface interposed strong
arm and an eager word. He told them
OF child who was born seven hun
bred years before. and how he show
ed to men that they need offer no
more bloody sacrifices. He told them
of the love of God and the beauty of
his service. The stern men heard and
believed, Urged by the heroic mis-
sionary, they hewed down the dark
thunder-oak, the scene of SO many
sacrifices.
The legend says that when the tree
fell, II left young fir growing be-
tween the shattered branches, and I'M
broken by their fall Boniface told
them to take that tree to their ban
quoting hall: to serve God with Joy
and feasting; and to take for their
Yule tree this one. with roots un-
stained with blood, and with ever
green foliage for a symbol of immor-
tally.
II part of the story is myth. 1t is not
all myth; and 1t is surely beautiful
way Of explaining one OF the most
beautiful of Christmas customs

"AS YE DID UNTO THEM"

So he died, and they said unto him:
1T is written against you that you
needed not the sorrow and the want
of them that were stricken in poverty
ard suffered In Illness and want"
And he said.
THAT is unfair. for all my life long
| noted especially the suffering and
want OF the poor, and not a Christmas
went by that did not say over and
over that | was sorry for them. No
one gave them more sympathy than /.
no one showed more commiseration
tor them. Why. lots of times
thought of them on cold winter
nights, and said to my friends that 1t
was too bad they had to endure pri-
vations."
THAT is correct" they said unto
him. But 1t is written that you did
not materialize your sympathy-you
simply sympathiEed in words. and
words are not eaten, nor are they
worn. nor are they burned In stoves"
So he was abashed, and stood silent
for space. Then he said meekly:
And l must not come in?"
AS to that. they did not answer, but
they said again unto him:
"All those that you sympathised
with are here. and now they will sym
pathi1e with you"
