Putnam Inn Case Raised Legal Cues

An interesting legal question was
raised in the demurrer in the appeal
of Ellen NJ Bugbee from the board
this case, Mrs. Bugbee, who is the
owner of the Putnam Inn property,
was i'll at tho time the beard met, and
her agent appeared for her, and re-
quested an adjournment that she
might appear, or offered to be sworn
himself and answer any questions
which must be answered, and they
delegated one OF their number to go to
the home of Mrs. Bugbee and take
down her answers. This was done.
An appeal was taken from their de-
cision. and the demurrer raises the
question whether under the statute,
G. S. 234S. the board had the right so
ito do. The law reads that the per-
son must appear and offer to be sworn,
and the town of Putnam claims the
board is judicial in its nature not min
isterial, and could not delegate its
powers. \ -

out that this might make hardship

to come before the board, but Mr..

OF BRITISH FORCES

London, Dec. 17.-Field Marshal Sir
John French, who at his own request
has been relieved of the command Of
the British forces in France and Elan
ders, has been succeeded by General
Sir Douglas Haig. 1t was declared
that the elevation of General
Joffre by France had nothing to do
with the change.
Since the landing of the expedition

his chief. whose place he now takes.
Upon him has developed the carry

There is legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple the
leaves of the tree Immediately shriv-
eled into needle points and its bright
green turned dark. The nature of the
tree changed. and it became an ever
green, in all seasons preaching the
story of mans fall through that first
act of disobedience. Only on Christ
mas does it bloom brightly with lights
and become beautiful with love gifts.
The curse is turned into blessing by
the coming of the Christ Child, and
thus we have our Christmas tree.
The visits of st. Nicholas to the
homes Of the people on Christmas eve
as an annual custom grew out Of
festival in honor Of Hertha, Morse
goddess. At this festival the house
was decorated with evergreens. and
an altar of stone was set up at the
end of the hall where the family as
sembled. From Hertha's stone we get
our word "hearthstone." On the
stones so set up were heaped fir
branches. which were set af1re, and
through the smoke and fame Hertha
was supposed to descend and influence
the direction of the flames, from which
were predicted the fortunes of those
present.

delivering toys down the chimneys. He
simply couldn't do it if he tried. That
; kind Of thing was all right when his
business was small and he was young
err than he is now. In those days he
made the toys himself-glued even the
little tails of the little toy sheep in
place, stuck the little eyes on the tops
Of their little heads. painted the little
bodies as different from the real thing
as he could and do it quick. and then,
hitching up his six RENDERS, delivered
the whole batch before sunrise Christ
mas morning. 1t is different now.
Santa Claus is old, and all he does 10
to live on the profits Of the business.
The business now is run under the
name of S. Claus & Co., and the firm
has many workers-clerks, drivers and
the rest Some Of the employees Of
this big firm have grown so careless
that they miss little boys and girls who
live in out of the way places. Old
Santa Claus never did such thing In
his life.
If any of our young people are over
looked this year they must not blame
Santa Claus. He is just as jolly and
good as ever. They'll have to blame it
on the new driver that looks after their
section of the earth.

is the kindliest and best in all our
hearts.
Then comes the Christmas season,
with its memories of other years, Of
better, happier hours. and the hand Of
a little child brushes away that ice
film, and there rise up silently into
our busy day those gentler, kindlier
feelings which. though dormant, We're
not dead.
At home we are loved best; there, too,
we love best. In the genial Christian
home, as in no other place on earth,
there are full meaning, full apprecia-

The older girl saw Don tackle the
snake. and she seized her little sister
and pulled her away from the reptile.
Both the girls then ran home as fast
as they could and told their father Of
the adventure. Don got back to the
house, but died soon afterward.

British Officer Finds Cause Of 4, 900 Year
Seouros.
London.-Lieutenant Colonel Leiper
Of the London School of Tropical Med
icine has just returned from Egypt,
where he had been investigating bill
harziosis, and has communicated an i'm
portant discovery respecting this dis
ease to the Royal Society Of Medicine.
The disease, which has been q
scourge to the Nile delta for thousands
Of years, has been discovered to have
been the cause Of death in mummies
dating back to 1000 B. C.
In his report Colonel Leiper cited
village where 30 per cent Of the chill
dren are infected. 1t has long been
known that the disease was transmit
ted by water. but the life and history
of the parasite have remained unes-
tabIished.
It has been discovered that the dis
ease is started in worm which lives
III the human body. The eggs Of this
worm pass from the body into canals
and pools, where they enter molluss
and there undergo certain evolutions.
They emerge from the molluss in
form enabling them to enter the hu-
man body through the skin. In this
way the disease Is commonly contract
ed while bathing and washing.
Colonel Leiper contends that the dis
ease can be exterminated by filling the
pools during the dry season.

The backiog's fame has died away;
The embers into ashes drift.
Outside the SHOWS are eddying, gray.
And piling fast in many rift.
White robed is now the cedar tree
Where once the catbird nightly sang,
And from the caves by two and three
The icicles like arrows hang.
The shadows on the somber wall
Fit, cross and dance amid the gloom.
And streaks Of ghostly color fall
In changing hues about the room.
The spiders in the corners dim
Within their webs the closer cling.
And from the manters oaken rim
A pair of children's stockings swing.
Ger field and forest. lane and road
Fast and still faster swirl the SHOWS.
And in the barn loft snugly slowed

The clock strikes twelve, and midnight

While winter skies stretch cold and

Frost flowers blossom on the panes.
The SHOWS float by and disappear.
And then across the rooftree swells,
Borne by the winds that fall and rise.

A sound that GIBBS and peals and dies.
And next adown the chimney creeps
