Every resident OF this northern min
ing country who has come into contact
with the Cornish people is familiar
with the Christmas Carol but few of
them know much of the origin Of these
popular songs. A writer in the Min
ing Gazette last week covered the
ground very fully in the following.
Carols were introduced by the oler
mated in a usage of the primitive
church. for in the early ages the bish-
ops were accustomed TO sing carols on
Christmas day with their clergy.
The term carol rs supposed to lie
derived either from the Italian carroll !,
song OF devotion. or carol properly
a round dance from the French ma.
role. querole : Breton 'kerolI' dance
or the Welsh CAROL 10 reel. TO dance
Carols were introduced 10y the cler
Ky into England from Italy soon after
the Norman Conquest as substitute
for the Yule and wassail song of hea-
then origin, which until then mad been
in use among the vulgar.
THE custom of singing carroll is
still maintained in Italy, indeed on the
continent; caroling at Christmas is al
most universal, and particularly in
Rome.
"rhe custom of carol singing in En-
gland formerly prevailed over the lar
ger part of the British Isles, apd there
are still in use in many parts among
the peasantry, carols of undoubted an
tiquity. illustrative of the manners and
sentiments of the Middle Ages Dur.
ing the celebration of We old Christ
masse' in England, carols were divided
INTO two classes the more serious of
them IF religious character. were
sung morning and evening, and those
which were cunviyial in their nature
were sung AT those bountifnl and state
Iy banquets which our English ances.
tros came to 80 greatly delight in. and
which became the especial glory of
the Christmas holidays OF the Middle
Ages
THE old English Yule songs were
sung by the people about the church
yards after service on Christmas day.
An example given is identical with
that in the Christmas Of Washington
IrvIng's book
Tile. Ule. Tile. Ule
Three buildings ina pule.
Crack nuts and cry Ule.
These Yule songs were usually sung
at the bringing in of the Christmas
block, or Yule-log. which was ancient
" introduced into the old English bar
ouial hall with pomp aud circum-
stances, the Ministries saluting its APP
pearance with these songs.
In reference % the celebrated
Boar Head Carol. il is said the car.
OILS of this nature became SO popular In
the fifteenth century that Wynkn de
Worde. one OF the earliest printers
published collection OF them in 1921.

REPORTS I. R. IN DUMPS
Feels Perkins Is a Burden, Says
Western Supporter.
LIKE WILSON-HARVE CASE
Perkins Himself Declares He
Has Heard Nothing of the
Kind from Colonel.

1t leaked out yesterday that one of
Colonel Roosevelt's most spectacular sup
porters had come to town from the Far
West last week with the information that
the colonel was lin the dumps" about his
chances for election because he had dis
covered In the last week that George w.
Perkins, Of the Harvester trust, was q
real milestone about his neck. Mr.. Roose-
velts supporter, It was said, declared that
the voters of the farming states were
turning their backs on the colonel on ac-
count Of Perkins, and that Roosevelt
realized the gravity of the situation so
thoroughly that he was considering how
he could best put his arm around the
Harvester director and lead him gently
to seat in the rear of the house.
The rumor caused a stir in the Pro-
gressive ranks here. The identity of the
Western visitor bearing the doleful It'd
ings was not disclosed. II was said, how
ever, that he was still the ardent admirer
OF the ex-President that he was when he
fought for his nomination In the Repub-
lican convention last June. II was also
reported that he had talked with the dis
illusioned candidate about the votes that
Harvester trust and George w. Perkins
suspicious were costing him. In fact,
Colonel Roosevelt was represented by his
Western admirer as feeling toward them
pretty much the same as Governor VIII
son was said to have felt toward Colonel
George Harvey.

Perkins Doubts the Story.

The story was borne TO Mr. Perkins,
the chairman OF the national executive
committee Of the Progressives. who sat In
his shirt sleeves, UP to his knees in cor
respondence. at the Manhattan Hotel.
Colonel Roosevelt has not by impli-
cation, directly or indirectly, conveyed
such feeling TO me. We talked over the
advsabillty OF my giving him active sup
port several months ago. l do not care
TO be unnecessarily drawn into public no
tice over a matter Of this sort, but l do
not mind the attacks that are made on
me personally. What l do mind Is
whether my affillation with the Progress
sive party will injure the cause. l will
say, however, that / do not believe the
truth Of the report and I'll tell you why.
You will remember that the Taft peo-
pie gave out the Harvester correspond
cnce last April on the eve OF the Mas
sachusetts primary. Doubtless they felt
that the sensational exposure OF Colonel
Roosevelts action in the matter OF the
proposed suit against the Harvester and
the publicity OF my name in connection
with his campaign would be a death blow
10 his hopes in New England Every
body knows what the voters did In the
Massachusetts primary.

HE "BOUNCES" A "COP"
Colonel Martin, at Democratic
Headquarters, Got Wrothy.

Colonel John I. Martin, known 10 pretty
nearly every big Democrat the country
over as the grand bouncer at all Demo-
cratic conventions within the memory OF
those now living, had a chance to be a
real sergeant-at-arms in the rooms OF the
Democratic National Committee. in the
Fifth Avenue Building, yesterday after
noon. PatrOlman Martin Walsh, OF
Traffic Squad c, was Colonel Martins
near prey. II happened this way:
Just as the italian Democratic Club OF
the I'd Assembly District Ia section Of
the Columbus Day parade) was passing
the building an ambitious young clerk was
moved TO proselytize He rushed to the
window on the fifth floor and shook about
three hundred Wilson campaign buttons
out Of a borrowed derby hat. The en-
blems battered down like hail on the
heads of the crowds on the sidewalk In
stanter there was near riot Police In
spector Dwyer. who has been cleaning up
the 4th Inspection District got the i'm
preston that certain affiuent gentlemen
inhabiting the rooms above had been
scattering coin Of the realm into the
crowd Just TO start scramble. Accord
ingly. he dispatched Walsh upstairs to
take down few names Walsh was lack
ing a quorum when he made the ac-
quaiptance OF Colonel Martin. A dialogue
ensued.
You've got your names; there's the
doorv calculated the colonel with ma
jestic wave.
I'm acting under orders from my In
spector, and he says you've got to stop
throwing coins into that crowd or you'll
start riot" replied Walsh hotly.
Again / say, there's the door," with
an eloquent toss OF Colonel Johns head.
II won't be made a monkey of for the
sport of office boys" cried Walsh.
You've made monkey of yourself"
rejoined the sergeant Of arms at the door.
IF you want campaign buttons you may
have all we've got. But don't say another
word about COIN"
On the way down to the street the
tratfc cop" expressed the conviction
that he had been shabblly treated by the
Democrats for doing his duty.

Calumet Mich, Oct 12-The repeated
charges made by John NJ. Harlan, Of
Chicago, one Of the "trailers" OF the Bull
Moose nominee for President, that Roose-
Welt shot a Spaniard in the back in a
cowardly manner in the Spanish war, re-
suited in a near-riot at a meeting here,
and brought out a lot Of corroboratfve
statements by veterans of the Santiago
campaign that the charges were true.
When Mr.. Harlan made his charge. DR..
Peter McNaughton, Bull Mooser,
Jumped to his feet and yelled that II was
a lie. His brother, John McNaughton,
yelled that it was true.
IT won't let my brother say something
that he knows Is not true" called John
McNaughton. He knows that Roosevelt
did shoot a Spaniard in the back. Every
soldier who was before Santiago knows
Il. I call upon any man in this room

TAFT GAINS IN MICHIGAN
Careful Canvas Shows That
Roosevelt Is Losing Rapidly.
rRv telegraph 70 The Tribune


Detroit, Oct. 12.-"The Detroit Jour
nal" announces to-day the result Of a
careful investigation into political con-
ditions in the state which 1t has just
completed through the medium of its
correspondents. Their reports were all
of the same tenor-President Taft Is
gaining everywhere with the stride Of
seven league boots, while Roosevelt Is
losing just as rapidly.
Correspondents reporting on the de-
cline of Rooseveltism give as the prin-
cipal reason the exposures regarding
the campaign contributions Of 1904
brought out by the Senate investigat-
ing committee, and that people be-
lieve the trust policy advocated by
Colonel Roosevelt now is exactly the
policy which the corporations who do
mated to the Roosevelt fund eight years
ago desired.
President Taft's gain is coming
strictly from the Roosevelt ranks, and
is proceeding at a rate that indicates
the President will have almost the nor
NAL Republican vote by November D.
This can mean but one thing, If the
conditions now pertaining hold good
until election-that Taft will carry the
state by at least $4,000 plurality.
