These Lordsburg Merchants Extend Holiday Greetings
SACRED MISTLETOE.

The druids with ceremonies Of great
solemnity used to collect mistletOc with
a golden sickle against the festival Of
winter solstice.' Only the oaks bear
ing mistletoe were sacred to this au-
cient order of men.
1t is recorded that the peoples rev
erence for the priests proceeded In
great measure from the cures which
the priests effected by means of this
curious green Plant of the pear-like
berries. 1t was collected thus cerc-
moniously by the druids because II was
supposed to drive away evil spirits.
The reason among the druids for
bringing in bits of evergreen from the
woods and adorning the house is n
most charming and lovable one: 1.-THE
houses were dccked with evergreen
in December that the Sylvan spirits
might repair to them and remain I'M
nipped with frost and cold winds until
a milder season had renewed the foli-
age Of their darling abodes Crafts

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Surprise.

n SurpEIGc.
Law found it good TO feel n horse
between his knees. He had not realized
until now how long Montrosa's saddle
had been empty The sun was hot and
friendly, the breeze was sweet In his
nostrls as he swept past the smiling
fields and out into the mesquite coun-
try. Heat waves danced above the
patches of bare ground insects sang
noisily from every side; far ahead the
rond ran a, wnverlng course through a
deccitfu mirage of ripping ponds. 1t
was all familiar, pleasant: 1t was
home. With every mile he covered his
strength and courage Increased.
Such changes had come into his life
since his last visit to Las Palmas that
it gave him II feeling of unhealthy to
discover no alteration In the ranch.
He had somehow felt that the build
! ings would look older, that the trees
would have grown taller, and SO when
1 he finally came in sight of his desti-
/ nation he refined in to look.
Behind him he heard the hum of an
approaching motor, and he turned to
behold ear racing along the road he
! had Just travelled The machine was
running fast, Ms Il long strcamer of
choking dust gave evidence, and Dave
/ soon recognized 1t as belonging to
JOnesyille's prosecuting attorney. AS
Il tore past him its owner shouted
something, but the words were lost. In
! the automobile with the driver We're
/ several passengers, and one of these
/ likewise called to Dave and seemed to
motion him to follow. When the ma
1 chine slowed down hafmile ahead
/ and veered abruptly into the Las Pal
mas gateway. Dave lifted Montrosa to
n run, wondering what pressing neces-
sity could have induced the proSecut-
/ ing attorney to risk such a reckless
burst of speed.
Dave told himself that he was un-
duly apprehensive; that Strange's
warnings had worked upon his nerves
| Nevertheless he continued to ride sc
hard that almost before The dust had
settled he too, turned into the shade
of the palms.

War Department Perfecting
Plan to That End.
Army Recruiting Kept i'm Back
ground to Enlarge Navy.

Washington, March 2S.-President
Wilson has taken all the steps within
his power to bring the navy to its
maximum man strength for the pres
ent. He may still ask congress that
1t be raised to 100000 men.
He still has several ways open
whereby he can bring the land forces
to greater strength, tho speculation is
that he win get his main increase by
asking for volunteers or by having
congress pass a compulsory trainins;
law.
The means whereby the larger army
could be obtained are:
Increase of the national guard from
80. 600 men to full war strength
100000.
Increase of the army by adding at
once all the annual increments desig-
mated by the last army bill This
would give 275,OOO in ALL
Call for volunteers.
Have congress pass universal ser
vice measure which would probably be
so shaped as to furnish 100000 youths.
just what is in the presidents mind
is not known
Real War Our Part
Military men say, however, that as
plans are now shaping, the war de-
partment is considering its enlarge
ment measures on the idea that 1.-The
bitterest struggle this nation has ever
known, may be our part
These men say the country ought
not to be misguided in it's view that
real war-and not merely police work
must sooner or later be the portion
of the big force which will probably
be demanded of congress next week.
The question of army recruiting is
kept in the background of public at
tention for the moment, so that the
navy may be brought to full strength
Nothing must hamper getting the full
