them are trimmed with gilt paper cut
out in lace like patterns. Cornucopias,
too, form a part of our tree decora-
tons and these are, perhaps, the most
popular owing to their inexpensive
ness. The tinsel is put on the baskets
and cornucopias by machinery, and
this instrument is very like the one
used in shoe factories for fastening
on shoe buttons. This instrument
too, can be worked by a boy The
tinseI, which has been cut to the de-
sired length by girls. is held by the
operator on the edge of the basket.
He presses pedal with his foot and
one end of the tinsel is fastened. There
is a twist OF the hand, another press
of the pedal and another fastening is
made, and so on until six stitches of
wire complete the work. The cornu-
copias are decorated by the use of the
same kind of a machine.
The garlands are made by the tin
sci being puckered on string by
machine, thus forming the pretty sill
yer and gold garlands which play
such an important part in tree trim
mings. 1t is made in various colors
and from half an inch to three and
one-half inches in width and usually
in lengths of ten yards. The spools
of tinsel wire are placed on reels Just
as in the fringe making, and the ma
chinery does the rest-ties the tinsel
firmly to string. The operator must,
of course, watch closely and see that
the delicate wire does not get tangled.
The waste tinse1 is used to throw over
the tree loose to represent a shower
of silver. Hundreds of girls are
employed in the factories and quite
as many do the work at home, be-
ing paid by the dozen pieces. The
work is sent to their homes and called
for when finished. AS the gluing and
forming of ornaments do not require
much physical strength the work has
proved a boon to cripples and fnvalids
who are thus enabled TO make a COM
Portable living.
So, it will be seen that the Christ
mas tree and its decorations bring
in many ways.

- HE origin OF the Christmas tree
is difficult to trace. There are
many interesting legends and
~ myths concerning it, and sew
eral countries claim the honor of Civ
ing this beautiful custom to the world
One story tells us how Martin Luther.
the great religious reformer, was
travelling over the country at night
and who on looking up from the
snow covered ground to the sky with
its countless brilliant stars began to
mediate, and on returning to his
home tried to explain his feelings to
his wife and children. Failing in
words he went into the garden and
cut a little fir tree which he dragged
to the nursery, where he fastened
candles on its branches and lighted
them. One of the popular pictures in
Germany shows Luther and his fam
lily seated about the Christmas tree.
The Scandinavians claim that the
tree sprang from the blood-soaked
soil where two lovers were killed, be-
cause, runs the legend, during the
Christmas season mysterious lights
appeared on pine trees which no wind
could extinguish. The French, too,
have a Christmas tree story. 1t re-

century found a gigantic tree with its

Not in the memory OF the oldest
member of the House has a tariff
measure ever been passed over the
Presidents veto by the lower branch of
Congress. Neither Speaker Clark nor
Majority Leader Underwood could
recellect such an occurrence.
When Speaker Clark announced the
vote and declared the bill again had
been passed the Presidents veto to
the contrary Notwithstanding" there
was a wild outburst of applause from
the democratic side The tumult was
increased by the demands of a half
dozen Republicans that the ruling was
unconstitutional When sembianee oe
order was restored Gardner, Mass, in
sisted that the constitution provided
that a two-thirds vote of the House
was necessary. that 10 members vot-

they had recorded their presence in the

most parliamentarians in Congress,
supported this contention.

Shortly before the vote was taken,
Minority Leader Mann appealed TO his
followers to stand by the Republican,
party and protective tariff principles.
Mr. Underwood. who followed Mann
and closed the debate. exhorted the
wavering Republicans to join with the
Democrats in passing the bill over the

some of the things Mr. Goodwin
brought to the attention of his hear
ers were that the Democratic leaders
stand as representatives of broken
promises and forgotten pledges; a
party of delay. deception and disap-
peintment. cit promised to enforce the
laws as long as they are on the stat
ute books. but has deliberately violat-
ed its promises, openly made an ALI
ance with the liquor trust to bring
about local option and license. With
the help of the money of this trust, the
party elected it's Governor
He mentioned he fact that they had
resahmitted the question and Cover
nor Plaisted said in his Saco speech he
was willing to trust the people. Mr.
Goodwin said that is the very feunda-
ton IF the Democratic party. and yet,
after the people voted against the
question by majority of 75S. .Gover-
nor Plaisted announced that the peo-
pie could not be trusted and a special
session of the Legislature must be
called. This cost the State more than
$4,000" he said, 'and nothing came of
it"
Governor Plaisted said in his Saeo
speech that he had found the State
bankrupt by Republican administra
ton. and that the Democratic party
had to pay the bills. Yet the tax rate
had been raised by the Republican adj
ministration five mills from 1910 which
would have paid all of the debt which
the State owed. inclusing $4,000 for
new construction, Governor Plaisted
did not mention this fact. In fact, his
argument was to deceive the voters on
the financial condition of the State"
He said that the Democratic tax rate
was four mills, but they had not stat
ed that in the year between the State
tax had been six mills, this being an
illustration of how the present admin
istration is trying to deceive the pub
lie.
He said Governor Plaisted had called
attention to how the Democratic party
had saved by the $95, 600 rebate of the
Washington county. Somerset and
Bangor & Aroostook Railroads, but MIR
Goodwin said: The Democratic party
did not have anything to do with this
The contract with the Bangor & Aroos-
took Railroad went out by the statute
OF limitation. 1t required no act of the
Democratie party to collect the SIS, 900
tax. this year. 1t would have come just
the same whether Fernald or Plaisted
had teen Governor. and yet Governor
Plaisted attempts TO deceive by claim
ing credit"
Mr.. Goodwin spoke with emphasis
on the matter of the Democratic Leg
islature, how f2S bills were referred to
the next Legislature. refusing appro-
priations for charitable institutions
and the payment of pauper bills. and
refusing to make appropriations for
roads and bridges. He stated that by
the Increase of state tax by the Dem
oefatie party $500 had come out of the
town of Hartland and was lying idle in
the State treasury doing nobody any
good. He touched on reciprocity and
told The people to ask the Hon. S. W.
Gould if he would again vote for rec
iproeity.
