Superintendent Elliot is satisfied that
he can make ample arrangements for
introducing the high school system in
Salem and continue it untn there is i'm
perative need of the construction Of ad-
ditional school buildings.
The Junior high school system, wher.
ever it has been tried has proven al,
unqualified success, particularly SO in
McMinnviIle, where the first junior
high school building in the state was
constructed and operated, and, educa-
tional authorities state, cit is only n
question of time until its adoption will
become universal. BY grouping the chill.
drcn of the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth
grades and the Tenth, Eleventh and
Twelfth grades together, respectively,
there is more uniformity in size and
age in the pupils in each grouping and
the results obtained have been found
far more satisfactory tnan is the case
where the smaller and younger pupils of
the Ninth grades arc grouped together
with the pupils Of the higher and ply
sically larger grades.

JURY GIVES FRANK WADE
/. DAMAGES IN sum OF $275
Nibbler Pays for Horses As Well As
Being Assessed the Cost Of Holding
the Trial.

The jury in the ease of Frank Wade
against II. f. Nibber brought in a
verdict for the plaintiff last night in
the sum of $215 as payment for the
horses. A special verdict finding
"that the defendant has not duly
rendered to plaintiff prior to the com
mencement of this action the sum Of
$275" was also returned by the jury.
The records of the court as produced on
the stand last evening by U. G. Boyer,
clerk of the court, showed that Nibbler
had deposited with the county treasurer
the sum of S275 as a show of good faith
to settle for this amount. This tender
was not construed by law as a tender
of this sum in payment Of the horses
as it was not made to the plaintiff in
person. According to legal authorities
tender must be made in coin Of the
realm and must be for the exact amount
and must be made in person, even
checks can be refused according to at
torneys Of this city.
BY returning the special verdict nc
tender was made. however, the costs OF
the suit are assessed to the defendant
Nibbler. If the verdict Of the jury had
been for the sum which the defendant
rendered in payment previous to the
commencement of the suit the plaintiff
would been obliged to pay the costs OF
the action,

Hov Each Land Celebrates Christmas

done in wonderful and divers ways, and fish 10
eaten a week before the great feast night Con-
spicuous among the presents is the urn OF
Fate" Children and friends, in order Of their
age, are hidden to put their hands into the urn
and draw their fate Many blank is drawn, but
in the end each one is satisfied with what best
suits him. This urn is to the Italian children
what the Christmas tree is to the young people
OF other countries.
From the land Of the Midnight Sun" to the
evergreen south OF perpetual Summer is long
journey, but in all the distance there is found
no country where the Christmas festival is not
celebrated.
The Christmas customs in America have been
transplantcd from Europe. Our Christmas tree
comes from Germany, our Santa Claus from Hol-
land, the Christmas stocking from Belgium or
France, while "Merie Christmas" was the old
English greeting shouted from window to street
on Christmas morning.
At present Christmas day, II somewhat shorn
of its ancient gories, and unmarked by that jol-
lty and exubcrancc OF spirits which distinguished
it in the time of Our ancestors, is, nevertheless,
still the holiday in which, Of all throughout the
year, all classes OF society most cordially par
ticipate.
In no country is Christmas more heartily eel
ebrated than in the United States. The spirit
Of good will and OF gift-giving seems to fill the
very air The rich give lavishly and willingly
Of their abundance-princely sums toward the
building OF churches the endowment Of colleges,
the housing Of the poor. Even the countless
thousands OF poor newsboys who work hard and
faithfully in all weahers through the entire year.
TO them and to the poor in all our great cities
is given every Christmas day substantial dinner.
And so, as the Christmas Of :er5 is ushcred
in by the merry pcaling Of the church bells, may
every living being catch something OF the music
as they ring out this vibrant message:
Rejoice And again ! say unto you, Rejoice
For Christ the Lord was born on Christmas dayp
The Snyder signal. (Snyder, Tex.) 1887-????, 1915-12-17

shippers are armed with lighted candles, and the
first conner OF course, will lind the church IN
darkness. lie places his lighted candle before
him, and, as one after another appears fresh can
dies flash out, till the building resembles large
parterrc OF single flames. The services over,
the season is supposed to have fairly begun, ana
Christmas greetings are heard on every side
In the rural life OF Russia Christmas Eve is
an important event. At sunset young and old
assemble in the principal street of the village,
and forming in procession, visit the house OF the
resident nobleman, the mayor and other village
dignitaries, where they sing carols and receive
coppers in return
As soon as the evening star appears above the
horizon supper is served The feast begins by
dividing the blessed wafer a small portion OF
which is given to each person. This is sacred
rite in which none dare refuse to participate. The
head OF each family is given his first The re-
naming members are served according to their
ages the little children, Of course, being left to
the last.
In Scrvia and Bulgaria an early ceremony has
to be performed by the head OF each household.
Before breakfast is thought Of, corn is placed in
a stocking and the chief OF the family sprinkles
a little salt before the house, saying, Christ IS
Born I" TO which one OF the inmates replies, He
is born indeed" Then the houseiather has to
wish" and advancing to the hearth, where logs
are burning in readiness, strikes them until sparks
fly out with good wish for the horses, another
for the COWS, and so on through the whole farm
ing stock winding up with an extra blow for
plenteous harvest
Then the ashes are collected, coin is placed
among them and the whole is hidden, or, in some
districts, burned As for the yulc-ogs, they are
not permitted to shoulder quite away but arc
carefully gamcrcd, and the burnt ends placed in
cleits Oh the fruit trees, so rs to insure bounti-
iul crop

brated early Christmas Eve. Greens are hung
from window and door, and garlands upon the
walls. Upon the dining table great cold sup
per is spread. The children's eyes are glued
to the sliding doors which are presently to open
and disclose the tree At o'clock bell rings
Back swings the portal, and there it stands, re-
splcndent with lights and tnsel
Everybody kisses everybody else, and for
three or four hours the cares OF life are entirely
forgotten. For the evening there is dance,
with much music and much merrment
In no land is Christmas more generally ccle
brated than in Scandinavia. Peace and good will
are the order of the season The courts arc
closed old quarrels are adjusted and ieuds are
forgotten A pretty symbol that rcigns is the
yuetde practice OF placing in a row every pair
OF shoes in each household IMPLYING that dur
ing the year the family will live together in
peace and harmony Scandinavia is especially
the land OF the yulc-log OF Christmas stories and
legends Of Thar and Odin The time out OF mind
custom Of telling stories around blazing hearth
is still popular and a good story teller is ever
welcome Even the birds OF the air are reli-
gously thought Of and a shcaf OF wheat is placed
aoit on a pole in front OF each house, to provide
them with food, and in compliment OF the day,
all the household animals receive double rations.
In Sweden the people, rich and poor, alike rise
as early as o'clock on Christmas morning to
attend divine service But before leaving, every
mans house is illuminated with as many candles
as he can afford The curtains are drawn. The
windows are brilliantly illuminated and through
them one may catch glance OF the myriad OF
mystic lights that sparkle on the pungent Christ
mas tree pointing the way and cheering the pro-
ccssion as it passes along the road OF snow. No
nation in the world can surpass Norway in its
enthusiastic love Of country, and national songs
are in order even at Christmas dinr'r

but impressive service is ways held. The wor-

81 mushed into prospectors' camp in Nevada
one Christmas night There were two or three
burros rustling about near the camp, but one OF
these animals was more favored than the rest
for she was lying down at the campfire when !
came in, snoozing away for all the world like
human being. To my amazemcnt ! saw little
pine tree by the fire knew it must have been
brought down from the mountains forty or fifty
miles away It was hung with knife and salt
shaker and various other things out of the pack
outfit | knew it was meant for a Christmas
tree, but had learned the wisdom of keeping a
close mouth where other mems affairs arc con-
cerned so | said nothing. After ! had sat az the
camp fire and talked awhile, with the buuo
snoozing on as il il wasn't worthy OF any atten-
ton, the prospector told me the story Of that
tree.
1T seems that he had gone 10 the hills and
got it and set it up for his pet burro She had
saved his life a week or two before. She had
sounded a note OF warning when he had reached
for some sagebrush 10 start fire, and had laid
back her ears and had come down with lightning
quickness, with all four feet punched, on one OF
the deadly side-winder rattlesnakes OF the desert
The reptile that is dreaded above all things by
the prospector. Il wasn't enough for the old
man to show his gratitude by pampcrng that
burro out Of al rcason-shc must have a Christ

The Prospector's Christmas

perhaps or, perhaps in imagination, the old
man may have seen little child playing about
that Christmas tree which the pampered burro
regarded with such cold indifference Who
knowsl
Down in Old Mexico knew a prospector who
dated all his luck from one Christmas, several
years ago when he stopped at a little settlement
not far over the American line. Broke and hun
cry he knocked at the door OF the most prctcn-
tious dobc house in town, A peon was about
TO drive him away on account OF his disrcputablc
appearance, when priest came and intcricrcd.
The alcade also put in an appearance, and the
tired almost barefoot man was hidden to enter
and his burro-a bunch OF boncs-was taken
care Of After being given food the prospcctor
was asked to Join in a Christmas service az mid
night He accepted and found out that the al
cadc was the owner Of great ilocks OF sheep that
had grazcd on the edge Of the barren country
in which the stranger had been prospecting. The

he had given her to spend She spent about $47
for ribbons, which she had strung all over her
self from head TO heels She was a sight when
she strolled into the lobby OF the hotel, where
most Of us were standing, Just as we had arrived.
Not one OF us cracked smile but a travelling
man who didn't have much idea about the dan
ger Of laughing at a sourdoughs wife let ont
ha-ha. At that heavy muckIuck propelled by
the brawny leg OF the biggest prospector in the
outfit, landed on him and he flew several feet
in the air
Down in our southwestern deserts one will
find scores OF lonely prospcctors who fairly dread
the word Christmas, OF course, It isn't quite so
bad there as in Alaska, as with two or three
weeks start a man can be at home II the longing
gets too strong for him. But the prospcctor who
has to spend Christmas out in the desert dclib-
cratcly tries to fool himself regarding the date.
He will try to skip days but the harder he tries
the more firmly each date becomes impressed
