CHRISTMAS REVELRY

A figure everywhere dominant in the celebra-
ton of Christmas in the middle ages was that Of
the Lord OF Misrule, also called the Master Of
Merry Disports. In Scotland this same master
OF the revels was known as the Abbot of Unrea-
son, while In France his title was very much the
same-"Abbas Stultorum"-or Abbot Of Fools.
The king, the great lords of his realm and other
important personages must needs appoint such
a leader and organizer Of their Christmas festiyi-
ties. In Scotland, previous to the Reformation,
the monasteries used to elect such a functionary.
but in 1856 a law was passed for the suppression
OF the Abbot Of Unreason, along with all the
other burlesque and fantastic features of the
Christmas celebration.
The barons and knights kept open house at
Christmas time for a fortnight. Reyelry reigned
throughout this period, and on Christmas day the
grand feast, given by the feudal chieftain to his
friends and retainers, took place with great pomp
ana magnl1cence. The boar's head was first and
foremost on the board, and its entrance to the
panauetlng room was heralded by a great blare
OF 1oyful trumpets. Borne on a gold or silver
platter by the server at the head Of a procession
OF MOBILES, knights and ladies, the foremost dish
OF tne feast made the round of the hall to merry
minstrelsy. When 1t was finally given its place
rosemary and bay were spread around II. a pinnin
was placed on its tusk and a mammoth not ~
mustard close at hand.
The boar's head was put down by act Of ma rlia.
ment In the time of the commonwealth and oftor
tnat' although 1t was officially freed Of tbe han u
never quite recovered its former place as q mart

Fred Stangler, held to the charge Of

Hes an Austrian" the officer de-
scribed. HE came to the station house
ten times last night and begged to be
locked up SO that he might be sent to
the workhouse."
The lad bore a c~ountenance so clear
cut and SO manifestly honest that his
honor vas 10th to believe the accused
could be so discouraged as voluntarily
to ask for Imprisonment.
Surely you do not want to go to the
w%orkhouse?" he was pressed.
Yes, / do, judge, | got no home and

Judge informed him alphabetically.
I'VE propose to get you a position and
help you along"
But nobody will give me a job the
boy answered. please send me where
I'll have something to eat and a bed to
sleep on"
Not willing to accede to the request,
the court made every effort through
the city employment office to obtain
for the detected lad some profitable
occupation and finally succeeded.

the boy, and young Edison reloaded his
gun and waited for a chance to get a
shot at a vital spot. After a while
the animal tried to climb the tree and
was making an effort to reach him.
Taking careful aim, the boy fired
at the white of bruins eye. The ami
NAL fell, but Edison took no chances
and waited a full half-hour, when he
descended. The bear at once arose
and went after him. The lad seized
a club that lay close by and beat it
over the brute's head. This time it
fell and did not rise. After a long
wait the boy cut it's throat and started
home, when he met bis father and
neighbors hunting for him. They car
ried the carcass home. 1t weighed 200
pounds and was the biggest bear killed
in this section in many years.

Mr. Given was instructed by United States Attorney Laskey to ask Major
sylvester. chief of police, to instruct the officers at the various police sta.

In Massachusetts it was the worst of all, for
custom, and any child daring to think of as much
as a plum pudding on that day would make him
self liable to reproof by the authorities. All along
the stern and rockbound coast the only Christmas
trees in the days of the Puritan domination were
those that nature had planted there and had
adorned in December with 1eecy snow. The fires
burned brightly on the open hearths, but there
was no invitation to the good saint to descend the
ch1mney when the embers had burned low. AS
far as the children knew, Christmas was just like
any other day in the calendar. Even after the
Puritan reaction against the forms and customs
of the old church had spent itself to some extent
pected no gifts in honor of the birthday Of Christ.
In New Amsterdam the outlook was a little bet
ter for the children. The Hollanders had brought
with them their st. Nicholas, and his birthday
was celebrated ~joyously by young and old just
before Christmas, but this day was kept, too, by
the Protestant Dutch as heartily as by any Catho-
lies. OF course, they had not many real toys as
we know them today, but in the shoes that the lit
Tie Hollanders set by the fireplace in the shining
kitchen, which was also the living room, were
homemade sweets and cakes and homemade
gifts. Many of these were of a useful character,
such as hand-knit caps and mittens, but now and
then a skillful Hollander would carve a model of
a boat such as that which had brought them to
new Amsterdam or a miniature chest of drawers,
