Christmas Pie Has
Long Family History

HAPPY the Christmas reveler who
has digestion to tackle the
Christmas pie. The modern fad
dist in diet is trying to rule out the
plum pudding and the mince from the
Christmas feast.
Shame on himi Better a night IF
grooming to the few than a ban on Il
time honored custom for the many.
Lay in a stock of soda mint, pepsin
and salt water. Be sporty and take
chances on the plummy goody.
First it was old Santa under a ban
IL dreary world it would be without
Santa Claus-now il is the toothsome
Christmas pie bullying with raisins,
haky of crust and redolent of burning
brandy.
Truly the modern progressive who
lives by rule is akin to the old Puritan
to whom the Christmas pie was an
abominatiOn savoring of heresy. In
deed the Roundhead had more excuse
for his abstinence it was test of or
thodoxy. He felt his morals would be
injured by eating pie whose savory
contents We're typical of offerings of
the Magi and whose form was often
that of a manger.
The Christmas pie Is of ancient and
honorable lineage, and its name of
'mince pie" came centuries later be-
ing given in derison by the Puritans
Are we such weaklings that what our
ancestors have thrived on for centu-
ries will STAY us in one eating? Surely
the stomach specialist, that product
of modernity, must have slipped up.
Our grandparents did mot eat one
measly little slice of the Christmas pie
in fear and trembling. Boldly they
swallowed huge hunks, not on Christ
mas day only, but during the entire
season of Christmas, unto Twelfth
Night. Was it not writ, "As many diff
ferent houses as thou shalt eat mince
pie during Christmastide so many hap
py months shalt thou have during the
year?"
And they began the mixing of that
Christmas pie early and with great
ceremony. 1t was a gala occasion
when the plum pudding was to be
stirred and each member of the house
hold down to the infant in arms must
have turn at the spoon.-Philadel-

The Wondrous Season.

Christmas-the same old story
Sweet with its sweet old way;
The gifts and the songs and glory,
The spirit of youth and play.
Christmas-the tabled Santa,
The tree with its magic light,
The stars and the drums and trumpets
The toys and the tinsel bright.
Christmas-no change forever;
The letters to good old Kris,
The arms of the little children
And the lips that are sweet to kiss.
Christmas-the changeless beauty,
Older, and still so young
With its glory OF childhood spirit
And its tales of the fairy tongue.
Christmas-the streets to show it,
The shops with their brilliant sight;
The windows of charm to glow it,
The festive and magic light.
Christmas-and still appealing
With its utter glory to men
As over their gray hearts stealing
Their boyhood comes again.
Christmas-the same old blessing,
The holy and lovely spell
OF tenderest trust and confessing,
And the glory of all things WELL
Christmas-the wondrous reason,
AS fresh in its joy today
As IL was I'm the vanished visions
OF the childhoods far away.

This Lad Had a Real
Christmas Tree
"|THE question of how to meet the

>HE question of how to meet the
needs of the education we
wanted our boy to have was
with us from his BIRTH and it was my
love of all kinds of trees which solved
our problem" said the mother of Il
growing boy.
He came near the Christmas sea-
son, and l wanted to do something to
mark the wonderful event My mind
turned to trees. What could be more
appropriate than to plant tree and
let this child of nature grow up with
mine?
"Then came the thought, why moi
choose fruit tree, something that
will yield tangible profit to be laid
aside as the beginning of Il fund for
the boys educationY And so the plan
took shape, and as we live in a warm
climate, fruit tree was planted each
year on Christmas day for the little
one
'Soon the lad was taking an active
part in the ceremony, and by the time
inv II uit uppNaiSu hS was oiu
enough to take real delight in the
proceeds of its sale, which went into
his bank A few years more found
him in eutire charge of small or
chard His ever growing bank ac-
count has always been his own, sub
ject to the inspection and advice of his
father, who keeps before him the pur-
pose for which it was started"
If you live where the climate pre-
vents tree planting on Christmas day
could you not give your son the price
of fruit tree and let it be planted
when the proper season arrives?-

days" says the veteran, were Sener-
ally spent in reading letters. After
dinner the men INDUCED in sports, par
ticularly prize fights, and then in the
evening they gathered together and
sang the wartime songs and told
stories of the Christmases before the
fighting began. 1t wasn't all chorus
singing, either, for we had some good
soloists in the line, and our company
actors showed their abilities by re-
citing or rehearsing the plays they had
seen y lille on furloughs."

Christmas Mystery Plays.

On their return from the Holy Land
the pilgrims and crusaders brought
new subjects for theatrical representa-
ton, founded on the objects of their
devotion and incidents in their wars,
and the early mysteries and other
plays of Christmas, among them that
of st. George and the dragon, which
has survived to modern times. prob
ably owe their origin to this period.

How Animals Figure
In Christmas Customs


TIME Christmas customs in Norway
and Swden are the most inter-
esting of any country. Ii is time
Of great rejoicing. To show that there
are friendly feelings between every
one in the household the shoes are
placed in row in the hall when retir-
ing on Christmas eve, and, like the
German custom, candles are left burn
ing in the village windows all night
to light the way for "Kristine," who
brings the gifts. The Christmas tree
is largely decorated with candles and
pretty cakes arranged in bright colored
baskets, all usually home made.
The richer households send good
things to the poor, and everywhere
among both rich and poor are the ami
mails and birds remembered, says Our
Dumb Animals. The boys and girls
save up their pennies during the year
for this purpose. Sheaves of grain
are fastened to the window lodges in
town, and in the country the sheaves
are fastened to long poles and renewed
every day for week, and many are
the birds that spy this feast. On the
barn floors of the peasants bowls of
hot porridge are set for poor "Robirl
Goodfellow" to comfort him because
he has no soul" The cows and the
horses share in the general happiness
by having a double share of food given
them.
1t is big skip from the northland
to the southland or tropical countries
where Christmas is celebrated without
the evergreen tree to decorate and
hang gifts on. In Brazil the holiday
may be spent outdoors in the sunny
flower scented air.
They have quaint superstitions in
these summer lands relative to Yule-
tide. On the coffee plantations the old
folk say that on Christmas night the
animals have the gift of speech and
that if only child has sufficient cour
age to go out alone after dark it will
hear on the stroke of II the cock
crow in loud, clear voice from his
highest perch
"Christo nasceu'-Christ is born.
The bull in a deep, sonorous bass
inquiries from distant field, "Onde"
where?
The sheep then answer in chorus,
EN- Belem de Judah Bethlehem
of Judea.
In turn all the domestic animals give
to the world the glad tidings of the
Nativity. Many a child wishes it had
the courage necessary to enable him
to spend midnight outdoors and hear
this wonderful conversation of the
brute creation.

Washington, Aug s. Representa-
tive c. H. Randall of California, the
only Prohibition party member of con-
gress. issued a statement declaring
"the friends of national prohibition
have been fiimfammed by the liquor
lobby i'm the constitutional amend
ment adopted"
He added that "a great jollification'
by liquor representatives in a Wash
ington hotel followed the vote and that
we'll defined rumor had sprung up
that the six-year clause added on Sen
Qtor w G. Harding's motion was real
~ written by the brewers attorney.
"The joker is not in the six-year
handicap said Mr. Randall, though
that is without a single precedent in
history The Harding clause provides
that this article shall be imperative
unless ratified within six years.
The impression is that the prohibi-
tion amendment would not become a
part of the Constitution unless so rati-
fed The fact is it will become a
part of the Constitution il ratified
after the time limit but will be inop-
erative.
This promises long years of litiga-
ton. The whole campaign to obtain
ratification by the states will be cloud
