ReuiUing Old Tir,,(
YuLe Customs

CPECIAL efforts are being made ~
y women in many communities tt
spread a revival of the old Gus
toms regarding Christmas. Some years
ago a Boston woman with touch OF
antiquarian spirit managed to stimu'
late Boston to revive a pretty Yule-
tide custom by celebrating its coming
by singing carols in the streets and by
Illuminating the houses through the
placing of candles In the windows
Other cities emulated Boston in this
matter. In Carlisle, Pa, community

continued all along the streets by light.
ed candles placed In the windows,
many of which showed in the middle
Of the rooms so lighted up, displayed
to the passersby in the night, private
Christmas trees, the glitter and beauty
of which thus were shared with all.
An objection to this attempt at glad
ness-at least so far as concerns the
use of candles--has been the risk of
fire. But these days Of electricity or
even Of gas seem to minimize the idea
Of danger. and there are different de-
vices that may be applied to do away
with all risk in the carrying out of
the friendly suggestion. 1t Is advised
therefore that 'the gladness and
brightness Of the home on Christmas
eve be not kept behind closed blinds,
and to that end it is suggested that the
light from every window, whatever its
nature. be permitted to shine into the

"Not Our Business"

! A story is told Of little girl who,
in her evening prayer, told Of a child
she had seen in the street that day.
HE was ragged and l guess he was
cold" prayed the little worshiper, ''but
that isn't any Of our business, is it?"
That is the attitude Of some people at
Christmas time. They do not seem to

out for any outside their own happy

day. but this dish gave place to
the peacock, and the peacock In it's
turn was conquered by the turkey,
when Capt. John Smith, fresh from
his Virginian wars. came home to tell
the amazed English folk Of the bird
that he saw parading the new world

When the peacock was In its glory
at Christmastide its plumage was gen.

Its beak gilded. Sometimes the whole
bird was covered with gold leaf and
strip of cotton, saturated with spirit,
set alight In its beak-a relic possibly,
with the English snapdragon and
blazing pudding. Of the fire worship of
pagan days. A lady of noble birth and
great beauty was always chosen to
bear the bird into the banQuettng hall.
In the days of tournaments it was
over the peacock that the knights, with
uplifted swords, swore their oaths OF
chivalry and valOr. The last record OF
such fare seems to have been not upon

by the duke Of Granada to the duke

Beans Condemned
Belonged to the
Union Packing Co,

The 1000 sacks Of navy beans
which have been discovered in
local warehouse by food inspectors
and against which suit has been filed
In the federal court, were consigned
to the Union Packing company, which
has a plant on the belt line Of rail-
way at Spaulding street.
This company is now involved in
voluntary bankruptcy proceedings. It
was through these proceedings that
the beans came to the attention of
federal inspectors.
The beans are said to be "culls,"
the very lowest grade of beans, the
sweepings.
As to their being allowed" to
spoil as part Of big conspiracy to
make food shortage and conse-
quently boost prices, this is said to be
improbable.
It Is pointed out that, il that had
been the object, they would have
been permitted to spoil in Indiana and
Michigan. The owners would not
have gone to the expense of shipping
them to Omaha. The freight charges,
however, have not been paid. The
Union Pacific and milwaukee" rail-
roads have claims against the con-
signce for freight charges.

MISSOURI RIVER
is RISING RAPIDLY
Moves Up Five Feet and Three
Inches in Last Four Days
Now at Fifteen Feet.
FLOOD STAGE is 10 FEET

The Missouri river is rising rapidly.
During the twenty-four hours ending
at 2 a. m. Thursday it rose or of a
foot. During the three preceding
twenty-four hour periods it rose re-
spectiveiy l.6, ~ and l.3 feet, a total
OF So feet in four days.
This is going some, Colonel
Welsh OF the weather bureau admits.
Flood stage is nineteen feet here.
The river now stands at little more
than fifteen feet. A month ago II
was only seven feet.
Reports from up the river shown
that the river has risen rapidly there.
"All the tributaries are full to the
top and there is heavy covering Of
snow over large area of country
north OF u.s." said Colonel Welsh.
Thursdays weather reports were
favorable, as they showed decided
drop in temperature in the Dakotas.
This will retard thawing and allow
the surplus water in the Missouri
here and below to run off. But il
sudden and decided thaw comes in
the north it will develop a very
serious situation here.
There has been no very serious
flooding Of Omaha since April q,
1881, when the river reached 23.8
feet, the highest record here. You
could row boat from Seventeenth

and in passing the Bottling Works
he saw two industrious females busy
loading their buggy with coco-cola
and other good drinkables from
Mrs. Cochran's plant. Supposing
that the good things were being
bought, Mr.. Hall passed on after be-
ing assured that "there is big doins

that they soon captured the wife
and daughter Of Sam Padgett and
