DERIVED FROM THE HEATHEN
Custom of Decorating With Greens at
Christmas Time Once Was Under
Church's Ban.

Did you know that the custom of
decking our houses, shops and
churches with greens at Christmas
time is derived from a practice
which prevailed centuries before the
birth of Christianity? The ancient
Romans, the Druids, the Scandinavia.
ans, the Celts, and even the Jews,
used evergreens in their religious GER
emonies, and while, for a time, such
decorations were under the ban of
the church-the love for them was so
universal that it was not long before
they were again in use. Some of the
ecclesiastical writer's of that day
found a deep religious significance in
the practice.
The ~favorite decorations for the
church at Christmas tire have long
been the holly, bay and laurel. In
the home the ivy and mistletoe
combine with the holly as the popu-
lar decoration.
II one desires to be true to the
ancient customs, all Christmas dec
orations must be put in their proper
place before the beginning of Christ
mas eve, otherwise the sylvan sprites
who are abroad that evening, and who
may be enticed to the house by an
abundance of greens, will not enter to
bless the inmates with their protect
ing presence. Important as it is to
have these green things in readiness
by Christmas eve, however, it is quite
as necessary that they should be re-
moved before the end Of January, for
it has always been held to be a most
evil presage to permit a single green
spray to remain until the dawn of
Candlemas day, or February 2.-Delin-

pale face before her. No, she did not
think it would be possible to get a
gold locket, nor even an imitation one,
for the amount mentioned. Why did
the lady not try to purchase a pretty
string of beads? Muttering a low
thanks for the suggestion, the disap-
pointed turned once more to
the street, depressed and f~orlorn, and
decided to return home and make the
best Of what she had.
Suddenly her foot kicked something
on the snowy pavement; 1t was a lit
tie square, rubber-bound package.
Picking it up she flew down the street
toward the spot she called home. Hid
ing it in her dress, she prepared the
simple evening meal and after a few
games coaxed the little sister off to
sleep.
Nimbly and quickly the work-hard-
ened and u~nbeautiful fingers decorat-
ed a small chair beside the child's bed;

animals and the gingerbread man took
their places Of honor to await a pair
Of blue eyes in the early dawn.
All this while the little square pack
age lay like a bit of lead against the
eager woman's breast. At last with
trembling fingers she removed the rub
Der bands and tissue wrappings. A
loud exclamation Of joy made the
sleeping child urn on her pillow, but
she did not waken. On a dainty bed
of blue cotton, swung on a chain as
delicate al a thread hung a tiny gold
heart. A queer half-sick feeling sud-
denly swept over the little woman as
she realized that this did not belong
to her; a white card cell from the
wrapping and fluttered to the floor.
Picking 1t up she read:
Merry Christmas to Maggie"
She laughed with the joy of posses
sion. 1t was for Maggie, and taking
it over to the little chair, she hung it
lovingly around the neck of the gin
g%erbread man.

ASANTAC LAUSG GIFT

DOSY HAGGERTY pulled the worn
N coat more closely about her frail
form as she hurried out into the
cherries dawn of the raw December
day. The little lame sister-Maggie-
crippled but always merry, the one bit
of sunshine in the older sisters life,
still lay asleep, blissfully unconscious

Everybody wants the honor OF

"Of all the ladies' OF antiquity Niobe

The Habits Of Elephants.
J. Alden LorIns. In the Outing.

A"
An elephant uses several original and
effective methods of discriminating its
victims. It may rush upon q man,
seize him in Its trunk, beat him to
death on h ground, and before leay-
ing tear up the foliage for yards about.
There are many instances OF ele-
plants literally tearing their victim to
pieces. The story is told Of an Eng
nsh official In Uganda who, on MOTTO
ing a "safari" passing, stepped to the
door to inquire OF the head man the
whereabouts Of his master. In re-
Spouse the black swung a human arm
before the official and replied that q
few days previous his master had been
torn to pieces by ar elephant and that
he had brought back the arm as proof
Of his assertion. ..l
Then again. after knocking a man
down, an elephant will often continue
on its course without stopping to learn
how much damage It has done. A
hunter who was within close proximity
OF q herd Of elephants handed his rifle
to the CUR bearer and started to Climb
a tree to look about. At that moment
an elephant charged from the tail
grass m made for the gun bearer. AS
the man started to run. he threw up
his arms and In some peculiar nan
ner, the elephant in reaching for him
snatched the rifle from his hand and
stopped to hammer IL on the ground,
while the black made good his escape.

WATERY BLIsTERs ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had Q few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and q fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
q small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until In a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead OF the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
I'VE used a number Of remedies
which seemed to give relief for a short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got o cake OF Cutt-
cura Soap and a box Of Cuticura ONT
ment. I washed the child's face with
very warm water aSa Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cut'cIra Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone In two

An Object of Contempt.
FROM the National MontbI,,

William e. Borah, senator from Ida
no, tells this yarn: .
There was at one time In Georgia n
Judge who had many duties beside his
legal ones to perform, but who never
for q moment forgot that he sem
bodied the law under any and all cir
cumstances. So =
On one occasion he was called upon
10 act as auctioneer to dispose OF some
merchandise left by q dry goods mer-
chant who had died some time before.
During the auction one of the bid
ders created a disturbance, and finally
the exasperated au~ctioneer, assuming
his character as judge, fined the man
$50, and sent him to Jail for contempt
or court. An attorney made an appli-
cation to remit the fine and release
the prisoner, on the grounds that there
had been nc contempt Of court. He
maintained that the Judge when acting
as aucttoheer was not q court, and
therefore was not liable to contempt.
The judge heard this application pre-
scented with rising wrath, and assuming
all tho dignity which he possessed.
he glared fierceiy down upon the dim
inutive attorney.
Sir" said he, In stentorian tones, 'I
would have you know that I am Judge
OF this place under any and ali cir
cumstances; / am Judge all the time,
sir, from the rising OF the sun to the
going down Of the same! And as such"
shaking a foreinger at the attorney,
"asr such, let me tell you, sir. thu I
am always and everywhers an object
OF contempt" t% ~.

TIGER VS.. SNAKE.

After we struck the main river, we
passed many long sand bars, and on
one OF these Felipe's ~everroving eyes
discovered a tiger asleep. The jaguar
lay stretched out on his belly, his nose
on his paws, the water almost having
the cruel talons OF his front feet. We
were about SO yards away when we
first sighted him, and I raised the
rifle to fire. The canoe rocked q trtfe
and I lowered the repeater, raising II
again almost Immediately, but Felipe
seized my hand, saying:
Don't shoot, senior, the tiger is
dead" " %. ."t -
The remarkable intuition Of Felipe
proved correct, as II has on many a
trip into the jungle, but when ] asked
him how he knew, he merely replied
that the tiger looked like he was dead.
We landed a yard from the jaguar. and
saw, crushed In in he powerful teeth,
the body Of a snake, something like the
water moccasin of the lower Missis-
sippi river. The fangs Of the snake
were imbedded in the tigers Jaw and
the reptiles body was cut completely
In twain. II was as dead as the crea-
ture IL had killed, though neither had
been dead more than "a hours. ~
According to Felipe, the tiger had
come down to the stream TO drink and
as the great round head lowered to the
water the snake had sent home the
deadly poison. According to Felipe,
also. a Jaguar never runs when he can
