Why We HANG Up Stockings.

The custom of hanging up the stock
ing On Christmas eve arose from an
incident in the life of the good St
Nicholas. One day when he was over
taken by severe storm he took refuge
i'll convent, and the next day being
Christmas he preached 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 Il regular Christmas
feast. mutton was the only meat for
merly used. as commemoratiOn of the
fOcks 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
lanG OF spices.

A Grave" Question.

Editor the Monitor:
Judge Taylor in speaking of local
option says, IA grave question is
before the voters of the state This
is certainly true, 1T is grave" ques-
ton. when we reflect that alcoholic
liquors carry to the grave in this
country two hundred people every day
in the year, Or one man out of every
seven and one-half men. Insu rance
records prove that drink shortens a
mans life IL per cent, nor is this all, a
girl goes to her death every seven
minutes, who has been sacrificed to
lust. which is an accompanying evil of
drink. This is a form of Grace
sljcide" which some classes of peopIe
have seemingly overlooked.
The traffic being optional in some
towns. and not at all"local" in effects.
we find over SO per cent of our insane.
fully 80 per cent of our paupers and at
least 70 per cent of our criminals are
in our public institutions as a result
directly or indirectly of intoxication.
Lei Us not forget that ! cal option
very successfully protects the saloon
keeper better than it protects the weak
and tempted citizens, who are perfect
" willing to do themselves and their
families harm
Alcohol is absolutely worthless in
the sickroom as food or stimulant, it
is today recognized as a heart depres.
SAINT and nerve poison After ] an. l.
1916 it will not be recognized as med.
inc in the U. S. Pharmacopoera.
In view of the above facts why
should there be any local option what.
ever regarding that which produces
disease, degeneracy and death?
Truly it is grave question.

The Monitor hastens to print the
following because the Banner is of
the opinion that we are misleading
our readers. The banner says the
Herald is the "more persistent. {"
Undoubtedly the rest of the local
option advocate papers are "consis
tent" in their advocacy. They believe
in it but don't care to say much about
it.
The Rutland Herald is the only per-
sistent advocate of the local option Jaw
left among the Vermont newspapers.
Perhaps "conspicuous" is a better ad-
jective describing the Herald's position
in the campaign. -Barton Monitor
Isn't the Monitor misleading its
readers in the foregoing statement?
Without doubt the Rutland Herald is
more persistent on the subject than
others for the Herald has a creditabIe
habit of being persistent and thorough
in advocacy of any cause it supports,
but without any careful canvass of the
matter, the Banner is of the opinion
that somewhere near one-half of the
Vermont newspapers are consistent
supporters of local option because they
believe it is a better temperance
measure than any prohibition law vet
proposed. Bennington Banner

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Holiday Buying.

The retail trade has now reached the
point in the year when an unusual
amount Of money will be spent The
approach of winter makes necessary
the purchase of an unusual amount of
regular supplies. On top of this comes
the gift-buying habit. The people who
do this buying have lot of hard work
ahead of them in shopping. They will
try to cut down the time this takes.
They take advantage of every adver
tIsement seen in the newspapers to
find out what merchants have the most
attractive offerings. This saves an
enormous amount of running around
from store to store. Advertising is
always read quite as carefully as are
the news columns. At this high tide
of the buying movement it is Of double
interest. The merchant does not have
to create want, he finds the public
all ready to buy. The people are reach
ing through each issue of the news
papers for the desired information,
thus silently asking the merchants
what they have to offer. Those who
refuse to meet this desire for informa-
ton in the public print are lost in the
shuttle. White River Junction Land

Hlymnm For Christmas
M@rmimga

Hank. burst Of heavenly music
From a band of seraphs bright,
Suddenly to earth descending,
In the calm and silent night.
To the shepherds Of Judea,
Watching in the early dawn!
Lo, they bear the joyful tidings-
Jesus, Prince of Peace, is born!
Sweet and clear those angel voices,
Echoing through the starry sky,
AS they chant the heavenly chorus,
GLORY be to God on high-
And this joyful Christmas morning
Breaking DER the world below
Tells again the wondrous story
Shepherds heard so long ago.
Who shall still our tuneful voices,
Who the tide of praise shall stem,
Which the blessed angels taught us
In the fields of Bethlehem?
R&"k, We hear again the chorus
Ringing through the starry sky,
And we join the heavenly anthem,
GLORY be to God on high"
