HONOR OLD AND YOUNG
ON CHRISTMAS DAY

ESPECIALLY in the southern part
T. of France great preparation is
made for Christmas, which be-
gins the 4th of December with planting
st. Barbara's grain. Women fill plates
with wheat, which are well watered
and then put in the sunshine or in
warm ashes to terminate. Ii St Bar
bara's grain grows well or III SO will
the coming harvest be. Later comes
the cutting of the Yule log. The oldest
man Of the family cuts a fruit bearing
tree almond, apple, oak or pear. The
grandfather uses the ak, and then the
son finishes the work. The log is FIVE
feet long and is expected to burn, If
covered all night, from Christmas eve
to New Years day. Before the eating
Of the great supper the youngest mem
bers of the family light the log.
The little gayly painted "creche' and
other small, inexpensive clay figures
are found in every home. Before dark
Christmas eve the children 60 out to
look for the magi. They carry with
them confectionery for the magi, figs
for the servants and hay for the tired
camels. They also put up sheaves for
the birds, and the wealthy send out
donkeys laden with bread, meat, figs
and almonds, which are sold for q few
cents to the poor. The nougat pie or
pudding Of almonds and honey is on
the table for the great supper.

SHALL We AMEND OR REPEAL
THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW

from any person, or company, or
corporation as a consideration for his
attendance at the convention or for
any vote or action taken thereat.
This provision is further to safe
guard the state by removing as far
as possible, all opport nifty for can
didates to promote their own ends
by corruptly securing, through the
use of money, the attendance of any
particular person at convention or
influencing in this manner the vote
of any member.
s. It forbids the use of proxies at
conventions, ut authorizes those
present from any county to cast the
full vote to which such county Is
entitled.
This provision removes the posi-
bility of having any person attend a
convention as member who has not
been regularly elected thereto by the
people, thus making convention action
as truly representative as possible.
8. 1t defines the taking Of any
false oath or the making of any false
certificate as perjury and provides for
it's punishment as such.
This provision is for the purpose OF
adding the influence of the criminal
law to that of the most binding moral
consideration in an effort to secure
upright conduct and to punish de-
.partures therefrom.
10. 1t provides for the nomination
Of candidates for the supreme and dis
trict courts at state nominating con
ventions.

ways attend state conventions, and
thus tend largely to prevent clique
or ring rule. The cost of holding these
conventions would not exceed SIS, 900
Tor the present population of the
state. The modified primary with
the convention would thus effect a
net saving to the taxpayers of approx
imately $4,000 in every year when
nominations are made.
6. 1t provides that each conyen-
tion representative must subscribe to
an oath to vote for the adoption of
such party principales only as, If en-
acted into law, would be for the best
interests Of the state, and for the
nomination Of such candidates of
known honesty, integrity and ability
only as will, If elected to office, re-
fleet credit upon the party and upon
the people Of the state.
The idea Of this provision is to
make each convention representative
an officer of the state, who, in the
most solemn manner possible, will
be made to realize that, even in strict
ly party actions, he must safeguard
the interests Of the whole people of
the state by advocating only sound
governmental policies, and by sup
porting only the highest class of can
lidates his party can find to offer.
Z. 1t provides that before any can
didate may receive from the state the
allowances mentioned above he must
certify that he has not received and
that he will not accept any pay, ex-
pense money, gift or allowance Of

ever have been attempted, but the
others had not influence enough to
persuade Lee against it.
So the fearful cannonade was open
ed and shook the field with its thund-
ers for two hours and then Pickett
was given the order to charge. 1t
was directly against the center, where
Hancock, with his corps, made the
wall which must be broken down be-
, fore Pickett could win.
OF course, the destruction was fear
full. It is said a few Confederates
pierced the line, but they never re-
turned save as paroled prisoners. In
that assault Hancock was grievously
wounded, but when the remnant OF
the assaulting column turned and fed,
Hancock took one long look over the
field and then wrote and dispatched
note to Meade, giving it as his
respectful opinion that the proper
thing to do would be to order charge
along the whole line.
The chances were more than even
that If that advice had been followed
Lee would have been forced to sur
render, for his army was as tired as
was the army of the Potomac; the
Potomac uncrossable because of high
water, and then the statement is pref
| ty well authenticated that Lee had
left only enough ammunition to make
brief fight.
1t is easy enough, looking back
over. the years for even layman to
tell what should have been done, but
many soldiers who were on that field
have given it as their opinion that,
after the failure of Pickett's charge
had the main army been ordered to
advance and fierce charge by the
freshest troops been ordered agaist
Lees right, he would have been fore
ed to surrender. But those are prob
abilities only Hancock's part in the
tremendous struggle is fact, and
the memory of it will make a halo
around his statue in the Temple OF
Fame forever.
He never recovered from his
would. After that he dropped, and
SO in 1880 was persuaded to accept
La nomination for the presidency. II
was great mistake. He was simply

WINFIELD SCOTT HANCOCK

He was born in Montgomery county
Pa, February 4, 1924. He was two
years younger than Grant, four
younger than Sherman. He was as
gallant soldier as Henry of Navarro
He was as unselfish a soldier as ever
drew sword for native land. From
the time he graduated from West
Point he served in all the schools of
war-on the frontier; in the depart
ment of the east and south; he was
at home in the highest society; in
camp his soldiers looked up to him
as one of superior clay to common
mortals.
He made his great fame in the
army of the Potomac. We believe
that he was in every battle Of that
superb army after Bull Run up to
and through Gettysburg. His fame
eliminated on that field.
In all the battles in which that gal
lanta army suffered defeat, Hancock
never was defeated. Divisions and
corps broke on either side of him and
because of that he was many times
forced to fall back, but his individual
command was never successfully as
sailed and when, because of the mis-
fortunes of other commanders he was
forced to fall back, with him it was
always an orderly retereat, never a
rout
The story of Gettysburg has often
been told. Lees advance met the
divisions of Reynolds and Howard
early on the first day. The Confed-
crates pressed on and General Rey-
nolds was killed about noon Then
Howard succeeded to the command
and stood the whole shock of the
southern battle until shutdown. There
the Confederates made their first mis-
take. Instead of the hating advance
that they made, half waiting until the
remainder of their forces arrived
they should have noted that it was
only an advance force they we're fight,
ing and by fierce onset should have
sought to take and hold the obvious.
ly fine position in plain sight
At about sunset Hancock came up
on the field. Howard, who had been
fighting great odds all the afternoon,
was about spent, but Hancock, after
one swift glance at the situation
said: This is the place to fight
and hurried messages to Meade to
hurry up the main army.
They arrived and took up their po-
sitions during the night, as did Lees
main army. The hard fighting of the
second day was against Sickles' corps
On the third day Lee, against the adj
vice Of some of his foremost corps
commanders, determined to stake the
res, 1t on charge against the fedora
center where Hancock was in com

Think Mistletoe Brings Trouble.

In many parts of the United King
dom the silver berries and the gray
green leaves of the mistletoe are look
ed upon as anything but an emblem
of good cheer. On the contrary, the
plant is regarded with dread as being
the bringer Of Ill luck and the sign OF

places does the plant flourish.
