CHRlSTMASTIDE IN MEXICO.

A Feast That Is Celebrated For TIVE
.'% Weeks.
In fiesta loving Mexico Christmas is
celebrated for two weeks, beginning
with the 18th Of December and not
ending until New Years day. The
principal features of the celebration
are the "posadas" and "pinatas," both
very quaint and picturesque customs
and entirely peculiar to Mexico.
"Posada" in Spanish means "abid-
Ing place" or "inn'' and In Mexico is
applied to the nightly semirelig1ous and
entirely jolly performances which in
the houses Of all Mexicans last from
the 18th to the 25th of December.
These celebrations are called ''posa-
das" because they are in commemora-
ton of that night when the holy fam
lily unavailingly searched for an "abid-
ing place" or "inn' and, unable to find
such place. sought refuge in the sta
BILE where our Lord was born.
At an early hour. on account of the
clamoring children, the signal is given
for the pinata breaking, and all the
guests flock gayly about the bobbing
clown. with the servants and small
babies congregated in the background.
When the assembly is complete all

LEGENDS OF CHRISTMAS.
German Folklore Connects Everaresn

German Folklore Connects Evergreen
and Garden Of Eden.
In Germany there is a legend that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple the
leaves shriveled, the tree changed its
nature and became evergreen. bearing
witness in all seasons to the fall of
man. Only once a year. on the birth
day of the Redeemer. It blooms with
lights and is laden with gifts of love,
and so we have the Christmas tree
In the Black forest regions in Ger
many there is tradition that on each
Christmas eve the Saviour comes to
earth in the guise OF a poor boy and
asks aims at the house doors. On that
day no beggar is refused food and shell
ter.
1t is said that the popular tradition
Of the entrance Of Santa Claus by
means of the chimney arose from the
story Of Hertha, goddess Of the Morse
mythology. When the festival in her
honor was celebrated an altar of stones
was erected in the house. and fir
branches were piled upon it and set on
fire. Through the dense smoke made
by the green wood, the goddess was
supposed to descend and extend her in
fuence according to the petitions OF
the worshipers.
Some Of the Christmas hymns and
carols are very ancient and have been
In many cases transmitted orally
through many generations. In Eng
land it is still the custom for men and
boys. called the Christmas waits" to
go around on Christmas eve and sing
carols

HRISTMAs is as pathetic as it
is joyous to many Of the old
" Confederate veterans who. by
fate and circumstances, are
forced to depend entirely upon the gen
crosby Of their comrades and their
friends who have prospered since the
war. There are no pensions for these
old soldiers except the meager sums
they get from the various states. Some
of the veterans are dependent on these
insignificant funds to keep them out OF
the poorhouse.
The fftieth anniversary of the battle
of Gettysburg was celebrated last
July. The twenty-year-oA boy of this
battle is now gray haired veteran Of
seventy. The old soldiers are crossing
the great divide by the score. and be-
fore many years have passed there will
be few left
About twenty years ago it WAS dis
covered that many of the bravesx SOL
d1ers of the war were drifting to the
poOrhouses because there was nowhere
else for them to 60 and because their
wounds kept them from work. Many
had no relatives, and the relatives Of
others were too poor to support the
old soldiers. In many cases the veter-
ans declined to accept aims .% The
movement to take care Of these men
resulted in Confederate homes ill all Of
the southern states. and descendants of
the men who wore the gray bow spend
about 100000 annually in pensions
and in the support of varinus homes
Christmas is happy reality in these
institutions Although. owing to the
slender incomes, the homes have to
run on the most modest basis. there
is no skipping at Christmas time. From
the neighborhood around come tur-
keys and chickens and pies and biscuits
and fruit and cakes and tobacco in
plenty-everything except wines and

President Wilson and those who agree with him
have gone Just about far enough in the com

wish to accept It they should have 1t rammed

People are losing confidence in the testimony
Of all special interests. They pay no more at,

them honestly believe they will BE- seriously
injured by duty reductions. Probably prejudice
and selfinterest do not sway them from the
truth more than other people but they have

without producing the wolf or even finding any
tracks that the average man is inclined to close
his ears to anything they may have to say or, If
he listen to listen with more amusement than

WHAT'S THE TTST2
seriousness

Mr. J. N Stubs. In a communication to The
VtrginiaH, declares himself in favor of State
convention of the Democratic party of Virginia
to adopt platform.
First: Who is authorized to summon such
body. TO assign the representation In It and
to declare plan for electng delegates?
Presumably, the convention would be a SD
preme, self-g6yerntng body. Nobody could pre-
pare for it in advance a scheme Of plan and
scope"
Who would suggest the platform? Why
should a convention undertake to fix and find
in advance the action of the next general as
sembiy? All that could be done would be to put
forth few general principles for our State
politics; and on these ali OF us are pretty well
agreed. Republicans and Progressives as well
as Democrats.
Unless some definite plan Is put forth. If we
undertook to hold a convention just to be hold
ing one, the net result would be about three
days of debates and oratious more or less windy
and of alterations more or less acrimonious
and then we would be exactly where we started.
