WHEN CATTLE kNELT IN ADoRATIoN

Many an awe-stricken group has waited in the
chill air to see the cattle fall upon their knees in
alteration at twelve o'clock, the hour when Christ
was wrapped in swaddling clothes. An honest old
Cornwall, England, man, who lived at St Stephen' s
Downs near Launceston, said, towards the close of
the eighteenth century, that he once, with some
others. made trial of the superstition. Watching
several oxen in their stalls at twelve o'clock at
night on the Oath of December they observed the
two Oldest oxen only to fall down upon their knees
and make cruel moan, like Christian creatures I"
Ihere is an old print in the British museum in
which the oxen in the stable near the Virgin and
Child are represented upon their knees. as if in
supplant posture. This graphic representation is
perhaps, the origin of the foregoing superstitious
notion.
But more curious than all is an addition to this
superstition, to the effect that the brute creation
UNANIMOUSLY refused to acknowledge the change
OF style, from old to new, under the calendar
though on old Christmas day not only would the
bees sing their welcome song but the oxen and
asses would kneel in their stalls in token of hon.

day caused cattle to go mad and lame

CHRISTMAS TREES

From ancient days Christmas trees, lighted with
candles, used in the chancels of English
churches. But it has been put on record that the
introduction of the modern Christmas trees into
England was due to the late duchess of Kent,
grandmother to King Edward VII, who was cred
tied with having brought the custom from Ger
many for the amusement of Queen Victoria when
little girl at Kensington palace.
The Christmas tree by 1916 was undoubtedly es-
tablished at Windsor; indeed at that period per.
feet plantation appears to have sprung up in the
drawing room Of the castle. In the newspapers of
the time it is recorded that after dinner at which
the principal dish noble baron of beef weigh
ing 260 pounds, that occupied many hours in roast
ing, and at which the band of the Scots Fusiliers
discoursed such popular airs as Auber's Bronze
Horse and selections from Norma" the queen
and the prince, with the royal suite retired to the
drawing room, where, tables, we're gracefully
displayed several imitation fir trees upwards of
six feet in height from the branches of which
were suspended variety of French bonbons and
numerous elegant presents for the royal visitors
and suites. The trees, further learn were
brilliantly Illuminated with wax tapers iudiciousy
placed among the leaves
1t is not certain, however that the custom had
not been in use for centuries in rural parts of
Great Britain.

Curious Suit.

A curious exposition Of callousness
and greed was recently made in civil
suit brought against a Colorado sur
geon. He became interested in the
case of cripple whom he found beg
ging in the street, and by an operation
requiring great skill removed his dis
ability. The relatives Of the cripple
promptly brought suit against the
physician for removing their means OF
support, claiming that, as cripple,
the youth had brought them in an av-
erage of about five dollars daily while
now they were compelled to support
him until he could gain the means OF
earning his living. The judge prompt
ly dismissed the suit on hearing the
case for the prosecution.

The clerk, considerably relieved,
took his departure in some haste, and
she was left with the morning papers,
each of which she scanned rapidly.
The details, OF course. were meager.
There was a double-leaded account of
her visit to the inn and her extraor-
binary return to the city. Her chief
interest, however, did not rest in
these particulars, but in the s~pecula-
tons of the authorities as to the iden-
tity Of the mysterious woman-and
her whereabouts. There was the like
lihood that she was not the only one

inn. So far as she could CLEAN from
the reports, however, no one had seen
the girl, o was there the slightest
hint offered as to her identity. The
papers of the previous afternoon had
published lurid accounts of the muir
der, with all of the known details, the
name Of the victim at hat time still
being a mystery. She remembered
reading the story with no little inter
est. The only new feature in the case,
therefore, was the identification OF
Challis Wrandall by his beautiful
wife," and the sensational manner in
which it had been brought about.
With considerable interest she noted

Mrs. Wrandall returned to her post

adjoining room. Deliberately she
placed the newspaper on a chair near
the girls pillow, and then raised the
window shades to let in the hard gray
light of early morn.

JUDGE STEWART PASSES ON.
Honored and Beloved Jurlst Succ unbed
at Portland Last Sunday.

Justice George II. Stewart of the
supreme court of Idaho died at Port.
land santarium Sunday following an
illness of four months. His condition
has been considered serious for some
time.
Judge. Stewart was elected in No
vember. 1912, for his second term on
The bench, but at that time was in i'll
health. He was subjected to an opera
ton two years ago, but no permanent
relief was received. Prior to election
to the supreme bench Judge Stewart
served as district judge at Boise.
The death of Justice Stewart creates
a vacancy which Governor Haines will
be required to fill by appointment I'M
til a successor shall be elected at the
next general election.
Justice Stewart was born at Con-
nersville, Ind, in 1858. He graduated
from the law department of the North
Indiana Normal school in 1886. In 1905
he was elected justice of the supreme
court and reelected two years ago.
There will be no appointment at pres
ent to fill the vacancy on the supreme
bench caused by the death &c Justice
Stewart. Governor Haines aas said
that the matter had come so suddenly
that he had given the appointment of
a successor no thought. He intends
to take no hasty action and the vacancy
may exist for a little time at any rate.
The court has been so long without the
services of the third member that so
far as expedition of business is concern
ed. 1t will not be further handicapped.
1t is generally understood that there
will be no appointment until after cleo
ton 1t so happens that one of the
candidates for the bench to succeed
Justice Ailshie Is from the northern
part of the state and the other from
the south. 1t is always felt that the
membership of the court should be as
evenly divided possible between the
two sections and an appointment at
this time, it is thought, would work a
hardship on the men from the same
section as the appointee in this cam
paign for a place on the bench.
Justice Stewart was one of the most
popular men in Idaho. both as a cit
izen and as a jurist. OF a kindly dis
position and unfailing loyalty and in
tegrty he endeared himself to all with
whom he came in contact and to know
him was to admire and respect him.
