burned steadily and upright were
whose lives had been marked with
good deeds, while those which were

The English Version
| The English story of the origin of
the Christmas tree is better known.
When Sir Winifred went to Britain he
found the people of that country wor-
Shipping Druid oak on Christmas day.
To prove to them their error he took
an ak and began to chop it down to
show that the tree in itself had no
power over their lives. Finally the
tree tottered and fell with a crash,
but in the path of young fir tree.
The oak split in its fall, one part
falling on one side of the fir tree and
one on the other, the smaller tree be-
ing left unharmed. The resourcefu1
Sir Winfred Immediately proclaimed
that the fir tree should be the holy
tree ,as it was the wood Of peace and
of which all homes were built at that
time. He said that it was the sign
of everlasting life, because it was al
ways green and always pointed TO
heaven. He commanded the people
that they should always allow it to be
free from sheltering sacrifice and
"blood deeds" such as the oak had
done. but that it should instead be
the shelter for free gifts, rites of peace
and deeds of kindness.
Sweden and Italy
One of the oldest legends is the
Swedish, which antedates Christianity
itself. When the Scandinavians be-
came Christians, they transformed
their world tree or 'yggdrasil' into
the Christmas tree. The ancient peo-
ole had previously believed the world
10 be tree with its top in heaven and
It's roots in hell. People during their
ives went up or down this tree ac-
,ording to their deeds. The 'yggdrasil''

,eligion came to the country the peo-
pie reasoned that the "yggdrasll
should be the sign of the birth OF
Christ, as the branches spread wide,
md Christ was the broadest of these
branches.
Swedish children, however, have two
myths to choose from, the other being /

The Way Of Progress.

A dog barking at a passing automo-
bile is generally supposed to be as tell
ing a symbol OF futile objection to the
march OF progress as could well be
imagined. In the almost same category,
however, belongs the strike of the
stevedores in New Orleans against the
introduction of the electric truck to
transport freight between vessels and
warehouses. The wonder is that this
improvement has been SO long delayed
instead of only now appearing-and
then as a source of new labor dill
Guilty. One cannot have much SYM
pathy for opposition in this particular
instance. The motor vehicle in all OF
its forms has come to stay. and the
rest of the world has been rather rap
idly adjusting itself to the new condi-
mountaineering Record.

In addition to giving a preventive
dose Of tetanus antitoxin, it should
be an invariable procedure to lay

foreign matter, dead or badly injured
flesh, should be removed, an anaes-

After the wound has been thor

After the wound has been cauter-

Pueblo.-!Three men were killed,
four were injured. while several 9th
ers whose bodies have not been re-
covered. are believed to have been
hurled in the debris. when the engine
of an extra freight train comprising
thirty-two cars and caboose left the
rails on the main line Of the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad near the Good
night ranch, six miles west of Pueblo,
and plowed into an embankment.
The wreck is attributed by railroad
officials to the spreading Of the rails,
caused by their expansion under in
tense heat. A repair crew was at work
on the track, over which trains were
passing frequently. when the accident
occurred.
The dead:
John M. Nolan, engineer; crushed
to death in his cab.
Jose Perez, thirty; crushed to death
in refrigerator car.
Juan Sevalues, 49, crushed to death
in refrigerator car.
The injured:
o. V. Hipps, fireman; scalded by es-
Gaping steam and bruised in jumping
to safety from cab.
Charles Barone. thirty, Shawnee,
Okla. ribs broken and possible inter.
nal injuries.
Andrew Alcon. twenty-eight, Lu-
cerne. N. M; bruised and possible In.
ternal injuries.
George Lowe, thirty-five, member OF
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen.
Sparks. New: broken leg.
Only about half of a band of twenty
five tramps who were riding the train
toward the wheat fields of Kansas
have been accounted for. 1t is thought
likely that an examination of the
wreckage of the eight cars which fol-
lowed the engine from the rail and
were demolished may, reveal more
dead. None of the present list of
known dead or injured were members
of the train crew except the firemen
and the engineer.
The body OF the engineer was dug
from his cab about four hours after
the crash. The force of the impact OF
the giant freight locomotive against
the soft dirt embankment forced one
side of the engine into the slope for
several feet. Nolan's skull was
crushed and his body was completely
buried.
