''Breaking the Pinate''

Not until after the religious service
In the cathedral does the real Christ
mas dancing and feasting begin in the
City of Mexico. One of the curious Gus
toms is the breaking of pinates. says
Mexican writer in the New York Sun.
The pinate is very brittle earthen
ware pot or vessel, usually gay in color
and OF various shapes. These pinates
are sometimes modelled and dressed to
represent a clown, ballet dancer, an
angel, almost anything your fancy
might conceive. Into the pinate are
stuffed the small favors Of the Christ
mas season. such as candies. peanuts.
unbreakable toys and little silver ar
ticles.
Swinging high in the we'll lit court
yard Of the Mexican home, the game
is for the children to reach up and
break the pinate. Parents and chill
dren all gather under it. Each one is
blindfolded and given a long stick,
placed under the pinate, turned round
three times and told to strike at it.
One is given three tries, usually I'M
successful. Finally some one does
smash it, and as the innumerable
things tumble to the ground there Is a
general scramble for them.
This ceremony takes the place Of
the Christmas tree, which Is purely
fiesta for the children. After the
children have been sent to bed we who
are grown up enjoy typical Christ.

OREAMLAND,

Mae Allison and Harold Lockwood,
Metro favorites will have the leads in
mister a." which will appear at
Dreamland on Thursday of this week.
On Friday Lasky production, en-
titled, "After Five" will be shown. The
plot is dandy.
On Tuesday of next week, Madame
Pavlowa will be seen in 1.-THE Dumb
Girl of Portici," nine reel produc-
ton. The role she assumes in this
picture is the gamut of emotionalism.
AS the lithesome young girl she moves
about in perfect rhythm, then she is
seen in a lovers embrace, then as a
victim of tyrannical cruelty, thrown
into prison, desperate and despairing.
On Friday and Saturday of this
week, there will be special vaudeville
numbers in addition to the pictures.
The acts include Wright and Albright,
Destroyers Of Gloom; Miriam Mahr,
the "Singing Coincidence" and Bic
Der and Vernon, comedy, Songs and
Tanglefoot dancers" The admission
for the evening will be 10 and 20 cents
and for the matinee 10 and Is cents.

Raising MaIIards.

G. D. Velie, farmer of Lake Min
netonka, placed on the market in Min
neapolis last week three hundred NAL
lard ducks that were raised under a
special permit for commercial pur-
poses from the state game and fish
commission, Matched from eggs sup
piled by the state from the Big Island
game reserve, by the incubator pro-
cess. They were sold for one dollar
each.
According to the secretary of the
Minnesota Game Protective Associa.
ton, the state statutes provide that
mallards and pheasants can be raised
for commercial purposes by anyone
who receives permit from the game
and fish department. These permits
are not difficult to obtain and will be
issued to farmers and bird raisers
anywhere in the state It is said that
there will be at least 5000 mallard
eggs for distribution at the Minneton-
ka reserve next year and that means
that there will be nearly that many
mallards raised for the market.-Hop-

An Old Story.

The stockholders Of the Dan Patch

were the rich investors while the
holders. You see, the bondholders
stockholders were the inexperienced
boobs. Dan Patch stock was peddled
in all the country towns and sold to
the farmers. The daily papers and
farm papers carried generous adver-
tisements of this stock and numerous
inexperienced people were led to in
vest their savings in it. When the
company got all the money it could
from the boobs and built all the road
it could with that money, it then put
a mortgage on the property and could
offer that security to the rich and ex-
perienced investors and get what ad'
ditional funds were required. One
class was protected; the other was
not. It is an old story.-Belle Plaine
