"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 weresstFicken in poverty
and sullefed 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 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 coFnmiseration
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 sympathized 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 a space Then he said meekly:
"And'I must not come in?"
As to that, they did not answer. but
they said again unto him:
"All those that you sympathized
with are here, and now they will SYM
Dathize with you"

The legend says that when the tree
fell, 1t left a young FIR growing De-
tween the shattered branches, and un.
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-
tality.
II part of the story is myth, 1t is not
all myth; and 1t is surely a beautiful
way of explaining one Of the most
beautiful of Christmas CUSTOMS

ALL ABOUT THE MIsTLEToE
Popular Christmas Plant Is Parasite
and in oIden Times Was Con-
sidered Sacred.

Although in the majority of Ameri.
can and English homes mistletoe ia
displayed at Christmas time, 1t is re-
markable how little is known of this
curious plant. Mistletoe is para
site growth, appearing most frequent
ly on apple trees, although 1t Is also
found on evergreens and on poplar.
hawthorn, pear and oak trees, but
very rarely on the last named. 1t is
an evergreen bush, about four feet
in length, thickly crowded with
branches and leaves. Unlike all 9th.
er plants, its leaves extend down as
well as up. The plant flowers every
year, but does not bear the little whit
ish berries until 1t is four years old.
The mistletoe proper is native OF
Europe, especially of England and
Normandy. In olden times 1t was con
sidered a sacred plant, because its
berries grow in clusters of three
emblematic of the Trinity. The an.
cient Celts used to hang sprlgs of
mistletoe around their necks as a
safeguard from witches. The maid
that was not caught and kissed under
the mistletoe at Christmas would not
be married within the year, so the
tradition goes. According to the old
rules the ceremony was not properly
performed unless a berry was pulled
on after each kiss and presented to
the maiden. When all the berries
we're gone the privilege ceased

Guess you'll have to. It's in your

Give turned quickly as the old sta.
ton agent went chuckling toward the
express Office trundling truck OF
baggage. He followed him, his dark
eyes keen and troubled.
SCOT whom, Mr.. Dunkley? I haven't
heard any news from home for weeks
I've been abroad since June, and Just

west for Christmas. So you see it's

Surprise to all the town. Never
thought Bob had the nerve to ask q
girl to marry him, let alone that
spunky little Lawrence one."
The name struck Give like whip
lash. He called goodnight and hur
ried over to where the old station
hack waited.
The driver called a CHEEKY Christ
mas greeting to him, and he an
swered it, but as they swung up the
long rock hill toward the town, he
leaned back and shut his eyes and
wished he had never come back.

at Christmas, which happened to cor
respond with the Yuletide festival, at
the time of the winter solstice
Longfellow has used one Of these
stories in King Olafs Christmas"
Another, in which real religious fer
vor and moral heroism play 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 Briton by BIRTH and
his name was Wynfrith. 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 q great oak at Gelsmar.
There they gathered at midnight at
the winter soIstice, and offered fair
lad as a sacrifice to call back the re-
treating sun.
Thus they were 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 a child who was born seven hun
dred 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
the scene Of 20 many
sacrifces.

in the wind, deep dimples at the cor.
ners of her mouth, and the swift
flashing smile that eyes and mouth
and dimples Joined in. Yet 1t had
been more than beauty that had held
him true through the years. There
had been q look In her eyes, a look
Of abiding faith and clean, straight
honor, that he had loved and trusted.
The memory of that look had brought
him back over the sea, to find her
this Christmas and tell her that now
he could claim her.
Bob! Stolid, good old Bob. While
he had been playing globe trOtter,
trying to catch the flying heels Of a
madcap, wayward fortune, Bob had
stayed quietly at home and won the
girl he loved.

% the side door that he had had oc-
casion to use many a time before
when he had been out late larking.
1t was unlocked, and there was no
one In sight. It was still early, about
$3.50. Probably the family was at
dinner. Yet some one was playing
softly in the long music room south OF
the library. He stood in the dimly
lighted hall listening, old memories
sweeping over him. 1t was only {
little quaint Christmas carol that Fay
had always loved Years ago, when
ehe had first come to live with them,
a little forlorn kiddie, orphaned and
with no one butts hia father to act rs
guardian, she had loved that carol,
and always sang it at holly time. He

hands as he listened.

the dear old room they both knew SO
well, in the tender winter gloom, he
held her close, and kissed her-lips

face and holding it in her hands al

"And too late," he added bitterly.

They? Who?"

HIGH SCHOOL HALLOWEEN
PARTY.

The barking of dogs and the
mewing Of cats proclaimed to
passersby that something was do
ing at Red Mems hall Friday
night. Over seventy-five high
school pupils had responded to a
summons Of the witches to come
in a ghostly garb and as myster-
iously as possible.
The first thing to be seen on
arriving was a set Of rules which
the ghosts were requested to
obey. The inside of the hall was
decorated with articles and de-
signs appropriate to the occasion
After all the ghosts had arrived
they were ordered by q large hal
low-voiced ghost to get partners
for the grand procession of the
ghosts. This was one of the main
events Of the evening and was
done perfectly. After this the
ghosts took off the white man
ties they were wearing and found
out who their partners were. Their
came dancingi accompanied by ex
cellent music, after which lunch
was served by the guild Of the
Episcopal church, After lunch
few stirring high school songs
were sung, yells given, and then
the ghosts hied away to Their
haunts, to remain in hiding until
next Halloween.
