THE TREE ON THE ROOF.
An Old Building Custom to Propltiate
the PAGAN Gods,

1
| Did you ever stop to think why a bit
| of ornament In the form of conven-
tionalized fruit, grain or flowers is al
most invariably added to the gable Of
a Gothic building and very frequently
| to the gable of any other type of build
| ing? Do you know why the lightning
rods of our grandfathers were branch
ed at the ends like little trees and why
the old fashioned Scandinavian. Dan
ish and German contractors contrive
to fasten a branch of d tree or an ear
of corn to the topmost peak of house
that has progressed SO far in the course
OF construction that the rafters are in
place? Usually the contractor laughs
sheepishly w6en he is asked about the
matter, giving no other reason than
that his father always provided the
birds with some grain or offered them
q green branch to rest in.
The fact Is that the birds have moth
Ing whatever to do with the custom.
1t is purely religious in its significance
and entirely pagan. 1t had its begin
ming before Christianity was inflicted
on the barbarians of the north" The
gable of a building was exposed to
both wind and lightning, so the gods
must be propitiated. For Wotan there
was small evergreen tree and for
Thor there was q bunch of flowers. If
the favor of the god had been invoked
while the house was still incomplete.
the ceremony must be finished the day
the house was done by the burning of
the little tree or the withered flowers.
Then bunch of grain was tied to the
gable to feed the white horse of the
death god, so that he would hasten on
his journey without stopping at that
particular house.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

les. 1t consists of board eight or ten
inches wide and as long as the window

one end it is marked and cut on a
slant. The small piece removed is
hinged to the main part so that it can

Why Constipation Injuries.

The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When they
become obstructed by constipation a
part of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed int
the system, making you feel dull and
stupid, and interfering with the
digestion aud assimilation of food
This condition is quickly relieved by
Chamberlain's Tablets. Obtainable
everywhere.

Patriotism.

A nation is made great, not by
its fruitful acres, but by the men
who cultivate them; not by its
great forests, but by the men who
use them; not by its mines, but by
the men who work in them; not by
its railways, but by the men who
build and run them. America was
a great land when Columbus dis
CO 1ered it; Americans made of it a
great nation.
In 1916 our fathers had vision
OF new nation conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the prop
osition that all men are created
equal" Without an army they
fought the greatest of existing
world empires that they might
realize this vision. A third of
century later, without a navy they
fought the greatest navy in the
world that they might win for their
nation the freedom of the seas.
Half a century later they fought
through an unparalleled Civil War
that they might establish for all
time on this continent the inalien-
able right of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. A third of
a century later they fought to
emancipate an oppressed neighbor
and, victory won, gave back Cuba
to the Cubans, sent an army Of
schoolmasters to educate for
liberty the Filipinos, asked no war
indemnity from their vanquished |
enemy, but paid him literally for
his property. Meanwhile they
offered land freely to any farmer
who would live upon and cultivate
