CHRISTMAS FOR THE BIRDS
Scandinavian Custom Of Providing
Feast of Barley for Feathered
Creatures.

Among the other delightful traits OF
the Scandinavian people is their Gus
tom in their Yule festivities OF think
ing not only of the happiness of their
little ones, but of teaching these chill
dren to bear in mind the happiness OF
others and in particular Of the animals
about them.
At the Yuletide season, we are told,
the market place of Christmas pre-
sents very gay aspect, filed in as it
is with spruce trees Of all sizes for
the children's festival. But there is q
feature in the Morse Christmas that
have not heard of in any other country
in that in this market place there IL
for each Christmas tree Juleneg, or
little sheaf of barley; each person who
buys q tree also buys sheaf. Then,
when the tree. is set up in the main
room Of the house at Yuletide for the
BARN (born, as they are called in Nor.
way) the sheaf Of grain is fastened on
the end of pole and put out In the
yard for a Christmas feast for the
birds!

The Cakes Were Baked.
The great Dutch feast of st. HiehJ-

difficulty. For one thing, the war cut

ket."'' At the last moment, however,
a single shipload Of almonds arrived
from Spain and partly saved the stu.
alton There still remained the short
age Of white -four due to government
restriction, and of cooks owing to the
mobilization Of the troops. But the
government removed it's embargo for
the festival, and the bakers called up
to arms were granted a weeks leave
at their ovens, and so the feast Of st.
Nicholas held it's traditional sway.

If you wish to place red or green
candles around your cake, take piece
of pasteboard somewhat larger than
the cake, cover with fine white paper
set the cake in the center; melt paraf

Christmas Rites.

One OF the charms OF Christmas is
its perpetuation Of ancient rites and
customs. The Christmas tree, the mis-.
tletoe and the holly, the chants and
anthems, Santa Claus and the rein
deers-all bark back to earlier centu-
ries when life was simpler and man
kind sought it's Joys on less intensive
plan. in a sense, there is no such
thing as a modern Christmas, though
we ma y give it mcdernist touch here
and there.

through my act
@Oh. would your" cried the lady in
quick delight. Indeed, it would cap
4 the climax of all her Christmas eve
Joys.

Westerner buoyantly. s'1'll do the

Ing behind q screen, the Westerner
studied the walls Of the room circum-
specify, just as he had done at the
Moody mansion. ATeat glow spread
ever his face as he noticed portrait
over the piano, in the special place OF
honor. It was wreathed with holly
and evergreen.
NO, not forgotten; that's certain" !"
) he uttered in an intense tone.
B guess I've landed in real home spot. .
The little one of the household
came in, leading the children of some
poor neighbors. They screamed and
then sfuttered with delight as Sanity
came into view Then their eyes
danced as his jolly manner restored
confdence. He handed out the pres
ents from the tree. The air quivered
with the joyful shouts of the happy
little ones.
For Uncle Reuben, he read the
card pinned onto an old worn woolen
stocking. Where's he? : Come on,
Uncle Reuben!" he shouted into
space, and his tone was sob.
ssOh he isn't here" pratued little
Esther, stepping forward. "He hasn't
been for two Christmases. That's
him." and she pointed to the holly
wreathed portrait. Hell come back
some time, though. Mamma says so,
don't you, mamma? And every Christ
mas put nice card in his old
stocking, and then save them all up,
& to give to him when he comes back"
A choking sound came from the
throat of the Westerner. He turned
aside and reached under his robe. It
was to unclasp a great belt buckle, a
belt bulging with gold.
Your Christmas gift, Mary" he
cried to the mother OF little Esther.
Only a trifle out of a whole mine
it's full of the stuff and he threw
it into her lap.
Then off went costume and cap.
Don't you know me, Mary?"
Uncle Reuben!" she gasped.
Uncle Reuben and Santa Claus
both in one!" shouted the Westerner
hilariously. Little Esther-come!"
Ard Esther bounded into his arms
in q wild transport of recognition and
delight.

FURIOUS STORM
VISITS COUNTY

On Tuesday night of this week one
of the worst storms that has ever Wis
tied this section did its devastating
work. Monday night ther was quite
ccpious rain. Tuesday was drizzling
ard dismal. Toward evening the rain
fall increased and the wind began to
rise until it became a gale-a furious,
destructive gale that did a great
amount of damage. Probably its
worst effects are found in the growing
would not fel at liberty to take this
ually fine crop, but which were sadly
wrecked by the fury of the storm.
At Elkton the heaviest tide ever
known backed the Elk River up until
much adjacent property was flooded.
The Scott Fertilizer plant and the
Gas Plant were the chief sufferers
from the high water, the fires of the
gas plant being put out of commission
so that no gas can be made.
At Chesapeake City, while the high
est tide ever known rose over the
causeway that divides the town, no
especial damage was done. The most
serious loss came to the promoters of
the annual excursion to Colchester,
which was booked for Wednesday.
The steamer, however, did not leave
Baltimore Tuesday night for Chesa-
peake City, because of the heavy
storm and the excursion had to be
called off to the disappointment of
hundreds of people.
