barn along of me- like I was goin' to
lick him.
THAT satisfied his ma. So Chef an
me went to the barn an made a box
to keep the rabbit in. I knowed the
thing d freeze to death If he KEEP 1t
anywheres but in the house, an
knOwed his ma wouldn't listen to his
doin' that. so puts him up to gittin'

"Waal, when Chet told his ma what
he was goin' to do she said he could
keep the rabbit in the attic till Chris
mus an not a minute longer So he
writ to Artie, an this mOrnin' bright
an early here comes the hull family
Mis- Baker an the hull eight Children.
"Chet, he hadn't even got up yet, but
I rousted him out. an when he come
down he tolt Artie about the Jimmy

Mis- Baker chips in an says she never

"Wait till I tell you," said Ezra. II
called Chet to come up quick, an he
come a-runnin'. Look here says to

Stomach Trouble and Constipation.

ach trouble and constipation should

trouble and constipation as Chamber

circles and kept FOR year to cure
hectic feverS and other troubles. In
Sweden on midsummer eve mistletOe
is diligently sought after. the people
believing it to be possessed of many
mystic qualities, and that if sprig
of it is attached to the ceiling Of the
dwelling house, the horses stall or the
cows crib, the trolls will then be pow
erless to iniure either man or beast.
Many German peasants also consider
the mistletoe powerful charm against
evil spirits. A similar belief seems to
have fingered among the Romans.
When Aencas descended into Hades
he gathered, to protect himself from
the internal powers, branch of mis-
tletoe, which Vergil Calls the golden
bOugh.
The custom of kissing under the mis-
tletOe goes back to the days when
Thor and Odn and all the other gods
of the Northland walked and talked
with men. Baldur, the son of Odin
and Frigga. the Apollo Of Scandina-
Wan mythology. the tlaXen- haired god
of sunshine and its attendant bless
ings. was loved by all earthly and
heavenly beings save one--Loki, the
god of earthly fire and It's attendant
evils.
How of all the things animate and
inanimate in the world, except the
Surly miStlctOc. SWOre never to harm
the sun god and how Loki slew Baldur
with a branch of it, has been told with
beautiful poetic power by Matthew
Arnold.
In conciliation, hoping to soothe the
passionate sorrow of the mother, Frig-
ga, they dedicated the mistletoe to her.
And now sin and sorrow had hallowed
it; for henceforth it was to grow, not

as symbol of bitterness and hatred,
but as a sign of tenderness and love.
But the gods decreed that it was to
stand for these things only so long as
it touched not Lokis kingdom, the sol. ;
and for this reason it is never seen
growing on the ground and we our
selves always hang it high on the raft
ers or chandeliers. And now that It
was the plant of love, the custom arose
for enemies to become friends under
the miStletoe; for lovers to pledge
their troth beneath 1t; and for those
who met there to kiss as sign of af-
fecti0nate fellowship.

A promise to pay from the Boil
sheviki bank is good enough for the
Russian peasant, but Lenine can't get
over his prediction for German gold.
