joyously and noisily and one knows
that another Christmas day is at
hand.
No one gets up early on Christmas
morning except the devout women
who in their black dresses and with
their black mantillas over their heads
attend the ten o'clock mass
A visit to the booths or "puestos"
during the holiday season is full of
interest as well as surprises to the
foreigner in a Mexican city. The
sight Of these queer and varied look
ing booths going up on the side of the
street adjoining the sidewalk on two
sides of the alameda or park is the
first indication Of the approaching
holidays. Each booth is erected by
the humble merchant who is to oc-
cupy it, according to his own fancy,
and as they do not conform to any
rules or regulations as to size or
shape, they are a queer tumble of
gaiIy lighted "puestos"
There one can buy jumping-jacks
for two centavos; clay dolls for two
to four cents, beautiful and curious
pottery, made from the Identical aztec
and toltec designs for from twenty
to fifty cents, beautiful baskets of
imperishable weave and color and
every size and shape from twenty-five
cents to one peso; clay figures of
men and women with bits of bright
calico fashioned into clothes; figures
of ungainly looking animals shaped
like nothing ever seen before, sacred
images, jewelry, clever whistles, rat
ties, electric sparklers," fireworks of
all description, delicious candied
fruits, cOnserves, in fact anything and
everything is to be found at the "pues-
tos." The Mexicans are especially
clever at making candied fruits.
All day and until midnight great
throngs of people crowd and push
each other, good naturally, going and
coming, crowding the walks in front
of the booths almost to suffocation,
making their purchases, visiting,
laughing and talking But at mid
night, when there is no possibility of
more sales the merchants spread their
blankets on the mats or "petates,"
blow out their torch lights, drop down
their one window in front and all
crawl into the one bed, or roll up in
their single blankets, and crawl under
the rude counter and go to sleep. No
one thinks of going home, in fact some
Of them are regular nomads and have
no fixed home.
One by one the lights go out and
the tropical moon looks coldly down
on one of the strangest little gypsy
camps in the world.

IN MEXICO
Continued from Page 1

family taking it each night until the
rounds are made by Christmas eve
The Christmas tree is unknown to
the Mexican child, but the religious
ceremony is always followed by the
breaking of the "pinyata." If the
Christmas tree is joy itself to the
American child, the "pinyata" means
even more to the humble Mexican
child.
They are made of large or small
"Ollas' (jars of pottery:, gaily dec
GRATED with colored paper and tinsel
TO represent some figure, either
grotesque or pretty. One may buy a
bride, clown, baby, goose, swan, pine
apple or anything the fancy has
dictated in the making, and at any
price from fifty centavos to twenty
i've pesos. The jars are entirely con-
cealed in their fancy coverings, with
a stout rope around the top to sus,
pend them from the ceiling. A little
brown boy will trot along by your
side and carry your pinyata home
for you for a few cents, no matter
how heavy it is.
Thereafter they are filed with nuts,
candies, raisins, small oranges, bana-
mas, dates, pieces of sugar-cane and a
few small simple toys as, dolls or
animals; the pinyata is hung ready
for use. The servants and their chill
dren are permitted to come in and
share the fun, no distinction of class
being made at this time.
One after another of the company
are blindfolded and allowed three
strikes each at the pinyata with a
heavy cane as it hangs, suspended
from the ceiling. When it is finally
broken and the contents tumble to the
floor of the patio" there is a grand
scramble for the good things that have
fallen out, and each person is permit
ted to keep whatever he or she can
get hold of first. Woe unto the poor
child who is timid and slower than
the others, she is liable to get very lit
tie indeed.
After the pinyata the servants re-
tire, more or less elaborate supper
is served, according to the station of
the host; favors are distributed, usual
ly some odd little figures of china
or bisque, filed with candy; dancing
and music follow until a late hour.
Wine or cognac is plentiful, but very
few become intoxicated The churches
celebrate these "fiestas," leaving out,
of course, the social features. On
Christmas eve at midnight is cele-
brated the mass, when the image of
the holy child is carried through the
cathedral by the high dignitaries of
the church, and the people are al
lowed to kiss the toes of the sacred in
FAINT to show their alteration, after
which it is placed in the grotto fol-
lowed by the litanies, etc. After the
mass is celebrated the bells ring. out

the CuTlSCIQdS DOllQaYS.
This demand always exceeds the nor
NAL demand for new coins, and the
treasury has heretofore not always
been in a position to meet fully each
request. The recent satisfactory re-
suits from the washing of currency
has given the treasury department an
idea for meeting the demand for
shiny Christmas money. twenty-five
thousand dollars in halves, quarters,
dimes, nickels and pennies is to be
washed and polished by the mint bu-
reau of the treasury department, so
that all who wish can have their
shiny Christmas money. Most of TIE
old coins which are to be renovated
will be sent to the Philadelphia mint
from the United States treasury
vaults, whence they will be supplied
to the banks calling for them.
Just what folks do with all this new
coin at Christmas time is a mystery
to the treasury officials. Of course
much of the smaller coins, bright,
new and shiny, are used for Christ
mas-tree decorations, but the major
share Of it, it is surmised, is just
spent

Popped Corn a Good Food.

A government bulletin says that
popped corn is superior to many

Sometimes it is eaten with milk and

the little Tom Thumb variety are par
ticularly popular for Christmas tree
decorations.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
In a late issue of the Waldo County
Herald was an article by II. A. Cum
mines. Freedom, who claims 10 be a
Temperance man. These are some of
his views from Observation: Il see
as much drunkenness here in Maine
now as l did so years ago
No doubt, but he can remember when
they had number of places III Free
dom where liquor was sold Does he See
as much drunkenness there now as he
cid then. or in any of the surround
ing towns? / guess net. In his opinion
that "old cellars, deserted and falling
down school houses that then had 30 or
40 children, villages that were then
fourishing and now going to decay
mills that were then doing a good bust
ness and now tumbling down-over
ninety per cent of all this should be
placed this sign Results of Prohibi-
ton So if we want our schools filled
with scholars, our villages built up and
our mills all running. we must have
booze to do it with. Pretty good logic,
isn't it? Why is it that business men
looking for place to locate prefer
no-license town or city? Ask the butch
err the grocer or baker If their bills
are not paid by their customers better
under no-!ecense. They will say yes
He says "let our license fees cut down
our taxes" Who pays for the license
fees? Does it, not come out OF the Tel
low who drinks? Pretty good business
methods, to pay out millions for booze
TO get a few mills lower tax rate! He
says, THE Constitution gives To us all
the right to eat and drink whatever
seemeth good for us" Does 1t give us
