TWELVE GAYS Of YULE.

Observation Not Confined to Dec. 25
Century Ago.
The New England custom during the
early years Of the ninctccnt! century
was to observe Christmas from Dec -
to Jan. .. the twelve days being gcncr-
ally given UP to receiving and return
ing family visits. Contemporary with
this custom was the belief. lnculcntcd
III the minds Of the children, that If
they would visit the COW stables at
midnight of Christmas eve they would
see the cattle knccl before the man
gers.

Down In the town Mrs. Tucker
waited supper that Christmas eve un-

Tucker slcepily announced that Mrs.
Halliday had invited teacher to spend
the night and eat Christmas dinner at
the Halliday ranch. Gliding Willie for
his tardy information, Mrs. Tucker
hastened to the telephone and called
the Halliday ranch but the wires were
all down, and so the anxious little
woman decided that the teacher had
been unable to send word about her
change OF Christmas plans, and went
about the trimming Of the Tucker
Christmas tree with renewed activity.
Bernice opened her eyes in the llv-

sponge for his fighter, and followed the
second one by bounding into the ring
himself to prevent serious injury to Cof-
