LEADERS HAVE ADMITTED THIS

Chicago. June 4--Republiean or
ganization leaders admitted tonight
that Charles Z. Hughes would get
more votes on the first ballot for the
presidential nomination than any OF
his competitors. They estimate his
strength on the initial ballot at be
tween lis and 225.
The organization forces estimate
Roosevelt's first ballot strength at
less than $50, but admit that his vote
will grow when the fsyorite son can
didates begin to drop out Of the race.
This situation il is said, may lead to
a temporary combination between
the organization and friends OF
Roosevelt 10 fight Hughes IN the
early hours Of voting
Plan for Harmony.
What will happen after the first
few ballots are taken and the favorite
sons candidates begin quitting the
race, nobody seems able TO predict at
this time. There are outward indica'
tons that the Roosevelt men ana the
organization republican leaders are
paving the way for possible harmony
later by numerous talks OF an in
formal character between representa-
tives OF each group. While no dcfi-
mite understanding regarding a pro-
gram has been reached. both sides ex-
press the hope that some kind OF an
agreement may be consumated later
The organization leaders are said 70
be counting on the assistance Of the
Roosevelt delegates to defeat Hughes
and later to have the Hughes men aid
them IN preventing Roosevelt from
obtaining the nomination.
In this way they believe they may
succeed in their plan 10 nominate
either one OF the favorite sons or a
dark horse who will be acceptable TO
the progressiyes.

There was nothing for the rest to do

who knew all about the chair, and at

VIII Stearns was even made to stand
up and give that speech. And the
bride declared, and, bless her dear
heart everybody believed her, that she
was glad it had turned out just the
way 1t did.
Somebody remembered the old lady's
name, and then somebody else remem-
bered that it was said that her father
was the man who planted those elms
on Elm street in the early days Of
the town. The bride announced that
she was going over to see the dear old

SERVICE MORE THAN GIVING
Deepest Spirit of Christmas Does Not
Confine Itself to One Day, but
Is Manifest Entire Year.

The deepest spirit Of the Christmas
.outpouring that flows over the Chris
tian world is the impulse for human
service that runs through the whole
year,
1t is easy to give recklessly out of
ones abundance, or even to share care
fully ones pittance. The distribution
of Christmas dinners through hun
dreds of self-denying families means a
days happiness for the giver and re-
celver. But it is greater happiness to
both to follow through the year with
aid to self-dependence, encouragement
to hope, and support in striving for
better living.
This is the giving of self, and they
Uho know how to give Of themselves
wisely are the highest givers. The

OLDEST CHRISTMAS CUSTOM
Decorating Houses, Churches and
Streets With Evergreen Popular
Since Dawn of History.

ERHAPS the very oldest of all
- Christmas customs is that of
decorating our houses, churches
and streets with evergreens.
At the very dawn of history began the
worship of the trees, or forest worship,
and the groves were mans first tenn
pies.
All our instincts, our passion about
nature, are forest memories, for forest
worship was universal.
In later times to each god some tree
was dedicated: Apollo had the laurel,
Jupiter the oak, and Greece for ages
had it's sacred groves.
The forest worshipers could not
worship without giving, because to
worship is to give, and these bOughs
and garlands were the oldest gifts of
man. Before he had learned to shape
offerings of his own rude skill he could
bring to the sacred trees and hang up
on them the first flowers and greenery
of spring and the perfect fruits of au-
tumn.
These gifts, remember, were never
as with us, decorations; they were sac
rifices.
The Romans, with a fine eye for
beauty, used to garland their temples
and homes and gathering places and
even the big Coliseum with boughs of
green and ropes of flowers. This par
ticular custom was received by the
Christians with a special sort Of APP
proval, recalling, as it did, the fact
that our Lord entered Jerusalem amid
the strewn branches of the multitude.
We must not forget the welcome and
lovely mistletoe and holly. Indeed,
Christmas without them would not,
with us, seem quite complete.
Mistletoe was for ages regarded as
sacred by the old British pagans-the
Druids-and was surrounded with

Every Moment Precious.

BE on your guard against the short
days of the year. We dare not spend
our years hike tale that is told"
dilnessly, uselessly, but must use
every moment In perfecting the life OF
Christ in us, in growing in righteous
ness and God-like beauty. -EYangell-

neckties for Christmas yet?

PILE SUFFERERS
Can Avoid the Pain and

There is no more annoying and embar-

causes suffering to thousands of people who
can find no relief in the remedies ordinar-
lily used who fear the pain and serious
after effects frequently accompanying an
operation, and in many instances cannot
afford the expense of such an operation,
which involves not only high surgical and
hospital bills, but loss of time during con-
valescence. To Pile sufferers we offer

great mystery and sentiment, little un-
derstood by us.
1t was supposed to possess healing
powers and that 1t could ward off evil
spirits. The reverence paid to this
little parasite seems to have been re-
stricted to it, only, when it was found
growing on the sacred oak trees in the
Druids groves.
Once every year the Druid high
priest cut 1t with a golden sickle,
blessed it and distributed the sprays
among the people, praying aloud that
each one who received it might receive
divine blessings, of which it was the
symbol. Having received the sprays,
the people hung them above the doors
to propitiate the gods during the year.
The only remaining significance at
tached today to the mistletoe Is the
idea that If a maiden is not kissed
under it on Christmas day she will go
mwed throughout the year. This idea
goes so far back into the past that one
cannot trace it.
1t is because the mlstletoe is rare
and not easy to get that we found
and brought forward the holly, which,
though lovely, is used only as a SUBJ
stitute for the mistletoe.-New York
