SONG OF THE TREE.

Once out of midnight sweet with mys-
terry
The wonder of all wonders came to be,
So shall the dawn marvel make of me,
For when in all my beauty 1 am born
In the first glimmer of the Christmas
morn,
Angels of innocence in mortal guise
Shall look upon me with their faithful
eyes,
And looking, see
A greater thing in me
Than the bare figure of a tree.
Behold! in every limb
1 thrill with praise of him
For whom 1 stand in memory.
Kings of the east and wise men three
there were
Who brought to him rare frankincense
and myrrh.
So do my balsamed branches when they
stir
In the warm airs that move about this
room,
And render forth their homage in per-
fume.
Lift up your hearts anew, o, careworn
men!
Look up with glad, believing eyes again;
And, looking, see
A greater thing in me
Than the bare figure of a tree.
Behold! in every limb
1 thrill in praise of him
For whom / stand in memory.

Why We Hang Up Stockings.

The custom of hanging up the stock
ing on Christmas eve arose from an
incident i'll the life of the good st.
Nicholas. One day when he was over
taken by a severe storm he took refuge
in a convent, and the next day being
Christmas he preached a sermon to
the nuns which they liked so much
that they asked him to come the next
year and preach to them again. On his
second visit, which was also on a
Christmas eve, before going to bed he
asked each of the nuns to lend him a
stocking. and he filled the stockings
with sugar plums.
In the making of mince pies, which
form a part of a regular Christmas
feast. mutton was the only meat for
merly used, as a commemoratiOn of the
fiocks that were watched on the holy
night by the shepherds of Bethlehem.
The spices were supposed to be sugges-
tive of the wise men from the east, the
land Of spices.

Christmas of the Shetland Islands.
A scene less populous but not less
striking is old Christmas eve, the 4th
of January, when the children and
young men of Lerwick, in the Shet-
land islands, so a-guizing. The chill
dren disguise themselves in strange
dresses, parade the streets and invade
the houses and shops begging for offer
ings. At l o'clock the young men,
coarsely clad, drag blazing tar barrels
through the town, blowing horns and
cheering. At o'clock in the morning
they put off their grimy clothes and
dressed in fantastic costumes go in
groups to wish their friends the sea-
sons cOmpliments.-Har Magazine.

PRETTY CHRISTMAS GUS
TOMS.

In some of the small towns on
the Riviera a curious custom
takes place on Christmas eve,
when at the chief church in the
town, during the midnight mass,
a number Of shepherds from the
hills make their appearance
wearing the picturesque dress of
their calling.
The chief shepherd carries
lamb in his arms and, advancing
to the high altar, gives it to the
priest as Christmas offering
from the shepherds and a symbol
of the Nativity.
In some towns of southern Ger
many a pretty custom prevails
on Christmas eve.
A yelled woman walks through
the streets after nightfall, carry
ing child, chosen for his beauty
and goodness to personify the in
FAINT Saviour. The cottage win
dows are left ajar so that The
representative of the Christ Child
can leave some gift upon the
window sill.
Every good child thus finds on
Christmas morning fruit and
sweets, but the bad children only
receive a birch rod, typical Of
we'll deserved chastisement.

to light when the railroad company
presented the assessor of Lincoln
county some plats of Newport beach
for assessment purposes. The mat
ter is now in the hands of the attor-

will probably be called upon to ad-
judicate the question.

GIVES OPINION
! In WILD CASE
JUDGE STEELE DISPOSED OF
& MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE SUIT
IN WILD ESTATE
Orders Mortgage of Plaintiff Fore
3closed-AIlows Equitable Attorneys
Fees in Case

A claim involving the settlement of
an estate in which the Kendrick State
bank is plaintiff and Ruth w. Bro
man, as administrator of the estate of
Joseph M. Wild, deceased, George P.
Barnum and others, are defendants,
was adjudicated by Judge Edgar c.
Steele in an opinion handed down to-
day. G. w. Suppiger was attorney
for Ruth w. Broman and A. H. Over
smith and F. l. Moore were attorneys
for the bank and Barnum- The decis-
ion follows:
I'm the above cause the court holds
that the mortgage of the plaintitf
should be foreclosed for the amount
of the principal, interest, and attol-
ney's fees of one hundred dollars.
"The plaintiff having received from
the public administrator the sum OF
$41960, which amount was a dis
tribution made upon the mortgage
debt and unsecured claims, the court
OIuCIS tudL lAC WilOlC VI Oeti0 cAAAOuAi
be repaid by the plaintiff and paid i'll
to court prior to or at the time OF the
signing of the decree as condition
precedent to the court signing the de-
cree. Any amount to which plaintiff
may be entitled as a ''pro rate" on the
unsecured indebtedness can be cas-
lily taken care of by the public admin
istrator if proper unsecured claims
are allowed. Upon failure of plaintiH
to so pay said money the court will
decline to enter decree of fore
closure. An attorneys fee of $10h
will be allowed on the foreclosure.
Attorneys. for the plaintiff will pre-
pare proper papers for my signature.
eaThe mortgage will be foreclosed
for the principal, interest, taxes paid
and insurance and 500 attorneys
fees. Concerning the attorneys fees
the court realizes that the fee is mucn
too small under ordinary conditions.
The case has been very difficult and
hard case, but the court feels that the
plaintiff bank by its mistakes in the
probate court has made these COM
plications and will expect the plain
tiff to pay such additional amount to
the plaintiffs attorneys as will make
a sufficient fee. One hundred dol
lars attorneys fee upon a simple fore
closure would have been small
enough The bank should pay for the
additional trouble caused by it's mis-
takes. If defendant Barnum desires
to redeem, the court wishes to not al
low any larger attorneys fee than ne
cessary so that something will be left
for defendant Barnum."

reasons for the stagnation of the
Northwest lumber industry were cited
at the hearing before the federal trade
commission here today. w. D. Wheel
wright, president of the Pacific Coas,
Lumber company, declared that the

the curtailment of the market by the
lack of shipping. A. L. Mills, presi
dent of the First National bank, dis
