The Lord of MisruIe.

The Lord of Misrule" who some
times rejoiced in the whimsical title
of the abbot of Unreason." was u
very important functionary of the
Christmas ceremonies in the olden
time. His office was that of master of
the revels, and in castle and hall, from
Christmas eve down to Twelfth day,
he was absolute master of ALL On TAX

orally made some quaint speech, ex-

that they We're to be just wise enough
to make fools of themselves. Under
his rule all were to be equal. No one
was to sit apart in pride of self suffi-
cheney to laugh at others. Moreover,
being possessed of the magic power to
turn his auditory into children. it was
his intention while his sovereignty
lasted that they should conduct them
selves as such.

ever after blossomed forth on Christ

BANKER PONIES.
Half Wild Horses That Trap Fish and
Then Eat Then.,

Then Eat Them.,
Along Albemarle sound, on the North
Carolina coast, there is mile after mile
of low, sandy shore, where nothing
grows except coarse grass, a few
salt water weeds and Wild parsley.
On these banks lives a strange breed
Of half wild horses. known as banker
ponies" These creatures are general
ly about twice the size Of Shetland
ponies.
Every year the herd owners drive the
bankers" into pens, braI the foals
with the proper mark and catch some
of the older animals to sell to the
dealers. North Carolinians say that
the beasts must be starved into eating
grain, hay or grass. for they have al
ways lived on the rank salt marsh
grass of the marshes and on fish.
They catch the fish for themselves at
ew tide. With their hoofs they dig
deep holes in the sand below high
water mark. When the tide falls they
greedily devour the fish that are
stranded in these holes. Often they
fight briskly over an especially tempt
ing morsel.
In captivity these strange horses are
intelligent, but seldom are even in
temper. Once tanned. they make excel
lent draft animals, for they have a
strength that is disproportionate to
their size. Foals that are bred from
bankers in captivity make valuable
animals = strong, healthy. intelligent
and far less vicious than their parents.

THE BEAUTIFUL SANTA MYTH
Don't Undeceive the Little Ones About
st. Nick.

Don't Undeceive the Little Ones About
st. Nick.
If your daughter is just six or seven
years old and you are beginning to feel
your conscience pinch you at deceiving
her any longer with the beautiful myth
of Santa Claus, just silence that con-
science and wait until she finds out the
truth for herself.
If your daughter has any illusions
left in this day of disillusion, let her
keep them. She will feel more resent
ment toward you for shattering them
than she will for deceiying her. You
do not think it necessary to tell your
grownup girl all the things you have
discovered about love and matrimony
and thereby terminate her dreams that
those myths are all they seem to be.
do you?
After all. the sweetest part of a girls
life from babyhood up is the dream
part. Some day she will find out that
there is no Santa Claus, and then she
will find out that there are no fairies,
and then she will find out that ro-
nance doesn't last, and then that mat
rimony has its thorns, and then that
women grow old but why open her
eyes to these things?
Let child believe in Santa Claus
just as long as he or she will and
pluck the delicious fruit from the
mythical Christmas tree to her hearts
content. 1t is bad enough to discover
the sawdust in the doll of life when it
begins to fall out without being told
about it when you thought it was real
ly flesh and blood
If any mothers conscience is trou-
bling he's about the Christmas fib tell
ing just now, let her sit down and try
to remember that awful day when she
first discovered that there was no
Santa Claus, and that conscience will
shut up tight and never open its mouth
again.

the senate today.
When the above news was COM

.Otero had resigned the post of regis

as his successor Judge McFie con-
sented to do so.
A curious coincidence was mention
ed by the judge in discussing the
matter. He said that he came out to
New Mexico in 1884 as register of
the land office at Las Cruces, receir'
ing his appointment from President
Arthur Later he served on the
bench, having been reappointed sew
eral times
1t has been known for some time
that NJ. Il. Otero was in poor health
at his home in Albuquerque and ii
was said he was unable to transact
the business of his Office here.
In view of the election of demo
cratic president. it is not known how
long Judge McFie, who is republic
