WHY YOU HANG STOCKINGS
Popular Christmas Custom Said to
Have Come Down to Us From
Old Italian Practice.

There is story from Italy which
some suppose to be the beginning oil
the present idea of the Christmas
stocking Years ago good old 81.
Nicholas OF Padua used to throw
knitted purses with money in them in
at the windows of the poor These
knitted purses we're not unlike a
stocking without foot, and later IL
became the custom of the people TO
hang this knitted sack just inside the
window that st. Nicholas might put
something in as he passed. When
these purses went out of use the
stockings we're substituted. In the
northern part of Italy II was q little
too chilly to leave the windows open
and the stockings were hung by the
mantel place so that they might be
filed from the chimney.

A CHRISTMAS HYMN

No tramp OF marching armies.
No banners flaming far:
A lamp within a stable
And In the sky a Star.
Their hymns OF peace and gladness
To earth the angels brought,
Their Gloria In Excelsis
To earth the angels taught;
When in the lowly manger
The Holy Mother Maid
In tender alteration
Her Babe OF heaven laid.
Born lowly In the darkness.
And none as poor as Ire.
The little children Of the poor
His very own shall be.
No rush of hostile armies then.
But Just the budding sheep,
The angels singing OF the Christ
And all the world asleep.
No flame OF conquering banners,
No leglons sent afar;
A lamp within a stable
And In the sky Starl

MARRIED MEN JURY
At CARMAN TRIAL
Woman Accused of Murder
ing Mrs. Bailey, Exercises
Care in Selecting Jurors.

Special by United Press Wire.
Mineola, l.. l., May A jury of
married men will decide whether or
not Mrs. Florence Carman fired the
shot that killed Mrs. Louise Bailey
June 80 last. This was almost GER
tain by noon today when court re-
eessed. Ten jurors had been chosen
at that time. Nine of them are mar
ried and the other is wtdower. The
jury as it is composed at present is
one of Mrs Carman's own choosing.
The physicians wife has refused
to allow her attorneys to accept a
Juror until they had her consent.
All the time the talesmen were being
quizzed by attorneys, Mrs. Carman
fixed with her cold blue eyes on him;
if the juror appealed to her a slight
smile passed over her face. If he
did not she curtly shook her head.
Attorneys on both sides elaborated
on their questions to the talesmen.
The state attorney asked each man
whether he knew Thomas Ludlum,
who was foreman of the first jury.
Ludlum has been reported as having
been the man who held out the
strongest for acquitting Mrs. Carman
and who tried hard to win her free
dom for her. The prosecutor also
AFFECTED to talesmen who admitted
knowing the Carmans or who ever
had Carman treat any members of
their families.
Mrs. Carmsn's counsel asked tales
men whether or not they knew Hovey
and Aston, members of the first jury,
who voted to convict Mrs. Carman.
