ORIGIN OF THE CHRISTMAS
FESTIVAL

The Christmas festival seems
to have first been devoted to the
children in Germany and the
north of Europe. Here st. Nicho
las, real parsonage, lived, a
bishop in the time of Constantine
and died December 8, 343. For
a time Christmas was here ceIe-
brated on the sixth of December
but later transferred to Decem-
ber 25, to correspond with the
practice in other countries. The
patron saint Of the children,
known as st. Nicholas in Ger
many, is called Santa Claus in
Holland, and Samiklaus in Swift
zerland. In Austria he is known
~ Nikto or Niglo, and is follow
ed by y masked servant called

krampus; while in the Tyrol he
goes by the name of Holy man,
and is accompanied by st. Lucy,
who is the girl s saint, and also
sometimes by little girl repres-
enting the Christ child. AT times
st. Nicholas is accompanied by a
masked bug-bear who carries
rods for the naughty children. in
stead of presents. The Christmas
tree in its present relation to
this festival originated with the
Germans, but similar ceremony
was much earlier connected with
pagan rites of different kind.
In the Protestant districts of Ger
maiiy, Christmas is celebrated
with the Christmas trees very
much as with us, by the giving Of
presents between parents and
children, and brothers and sisters
and more sober scene follows
the Christmas tree when the
mother takes occasion to tell the
daughters, while the father tells
the sons, what has been most
praiseworthy in their conduct and
also those things of the opposite
nature.

the modern custom of having a

covered that these pies at an
earlier date were called minced

that "the coffin shape of our

Christmas pie are mentioned in
a satire of 1856 against the Puri-

Gets Support From Small L

Faith, Dec. 18.-Loren Slocum,
living near Faith, demonstrated
the fer tility of South Dakota
soil this year by raising sufficient
produce on one and three-quar-
ters of an acre Of ground to sup
port himself and family in COM
fort. Besides supplying the family
with all the garden truck they
needed. Mr.. SLocum during the
fall and winter has sold $780,
% worth, and has kept enough to
supply the family during the win
ter, and for seed next year. The
$lOO.25 brought in purchased the
family clothing. fuel and meats.
Faith is a small town, and the de
mand for his vegetables was not
active and Slocum says had he
been located near larger town,
the amount of vegetables he
could have sold would easily hav,
brought him in $500.

KEEPING WATER AT HOME

A16E AN0 WAx6& Al 6ON4
The supervisors Of South Creek
Township, Ira j. Edwards, John
Block and B. Boyle, are working
at the right enterprise to prom
ote a general water supply. Some
one having been struck by the
idea that it would be q good plan
to build dams instead of bridges,
they went right at it. Last week
they finished a dam between Sec
tions 8 and 10 in their territory.
some three miles south Of here,
1t is 20 feet wide at the top, Is
feet deep and about 100 feet
long. Then they started an
other one, bigger yet. two miles
west of that point.
Now there is a sensible thing
to do. Instead of building IN arch
over the water AZ an invitation tc
freely and gaily run on to the
ocean and then complain that the
country il dry, the wet element
Is stopped in it's progress and will
be right there for general benefit
If this plan were generally adopt
ed this country would present
quite another appearance. It
would be dotted with small lakes,
lined with timber If wanted. just
think Of the comfort it would
give the cows If they could 60 to
water almost anywhere during
warm weather and Of the increase
in their yield Of milk which will
be the result Of their drinking
freely without being obliged to
walk large distance to water.
Think of the influence which this
number of lakes probably would
have upon the atmospheric con-
dition.
There is sense in this dam
building proposition. Stop the
water from running to where il
is not wanted. The ships on the
ocean have plenty to navigate in,
anyway, while we could use it to
good advantage.--Csps Hustler.

ed to the front from Adrianople, where
they were relieved by Servian troops.
The Bulgarians began their advance

day and continued the bOmbardment of
the works throughout Sunday. They,
however, found the Turkish positions
so strong that they could make no i'm
preston on them and for the time at
least the attempt has been given up,
the firing, according to dispatch
from Constantinople, having ceased
yesterday morning. Observers who
have been to the Turkish front agree
that the capture Of the Chatalja lipes
must prove a task of tremendous diff
ficulty
The days the Bulgarian troops were

distinct advantage over the attackers.
The Turkish soldiers, too appear to
have been steadied.

tack east of Chatalja. The strong
forts, the marshes and the guns of
the Turkish warships, evidently dis
icouraged them from making an at

BATHTUB TRUST BEATEN
supreme Court Has Smashed Preten-

sherman Law nder Cover
of Patents

Washington. Nov. l9.-The supreme
court Of the United States delivered a
death blow at violations of the Sher-
man antitrust law under the cloak of
protection Of the patent laws, by an
nuIing as invalid license agreements"
which held manufacturers of sanitary
enameled ironware together in the
com mbination known as the 'bathtub
trust"
Justice McKenna delivered the unan-
imous opinion Of the court. He said
that rights conferred by patents were
extensive but did not give a universal
license against the positive prOhibi-
tions Of the sherman law. The decis-
ion fully sustained the government in
its fight begun over a year ago against
the bathtub and enamelware manufac-
turerS.
