that the men are not experienced In

good many house carpenters and rep

mate made Monday by the employ

Kiss Under the Mlstletoe.

The mistletoe. was held In great
reverence by the Drulds. II was be-
lieved to be particularly and divine
ly healing; In fact. 1t was given this
attribute for centuries. It had special
significance as the cause Of the death
Of Balder ne Morse Apollo, who was
killed by an arrow made from Its
branches.
Subsequently Balder was restored to
life, the mlstletoe tree was placed un-
der the care Of FrIgga, and from that
time until I touched the earth was
never again to be an Instrument Of
evil.
The present custom Of kissing un-
der the mistletoe Is the outcome OF an
old practice Of the Drulds. Persons OF
opposite sexes passed under the sus-
pended vine and gave each other the
kiss Of love and peace. In full assur-
aDce that. though II had caused Bal
ders death. 1t had lost all Its power
OF doing harm since his restoration.

WORTH OF MIOOLE.AGED MEN
Older Workers, Because Of Skill,
steadiness and Reliability. Out
class Younger Fellows.

In several Western cities "young-old"
men have formed an organization that
may become nationwide In its scope,
for the purpose of securing employ
ment for men who have passed their
prime.
This Is decidedly the day OF young
men. and the man who has passed
middle life without having laid up n
competency or mustered some special
line of work Is at a dreadful dlsadvan-
tage.
But II has always been 40. And age.
now az always, says the Christian Her
aid, Is not so much II matter Of years
as Of declining enthusiasm.
We have seen men ON whose strong
shoulders rests the burden Of seven.
eight and sometimes nine decades, full
Of unwasted power Of spirit and
strength when It comes to freshness
and JOY in the work done and the
vision fulfilled
The great work Of the world Is be-
Ing done and always has been done by
men of middle life and more. Four
fifths Of the business failures are made
by young men. II IL ripened experience
and judgment that count In the busi-
ness world, as In any other.
In physical work the older man may
be outclassed by the younger one; but
In lines Of work calling for skill, stead
iness and reliability the older man has
the advantage.
There Is something seriously wrong
with an economic system that finds
man useless at fifty.
