THE CURIOUS MIsTLET0E
Something Like 800 Varieties in the
Worid-Pink Berries Found Only
on Cedar Trees.

There are about 800 kinds Of mistle-
toe in the world, and each variety
grows on the branches Of trees and
has little white or pink berries. says
st. Nicholas. But the pink berries
are found on only the cedar trees. The
mistletoe, unlike other plants, gets no
food directly from the ground. In
stead, IL gets its nourishment from the
trees on which IL grows.
Another curious thing about the mis-
tletoe is that though il blossoms earl
Ter in the year than the tree on which
1t grows, yet the little berries do not
ripen before December. Maybe that
is because il has to steal its food from
the trees, and therefore cannot ripen
early. The very name "mistletoe"
gives some idea OF its insignificance.
In the AngD Saxon language "mist"
means gloom, and ii comes in mid-win-
ter, the gloomiest time of the year.
Tie gathering of mistletoe was q
very important ceremony among the
ancient Druids. About five days after
the new moon they marched in state
ly procession to the forest and raised
an altar of straw beneath the finest
misunderstanding oak they could find.
The arch-Druid would ascend the oak,
and. with ieweled knife, remove the
sacred mistletOe. The others stood be-
meath the tree and caught the plant
upon a white cloth. for, If portion
of il touched the earth, ii was an omen
of misfortune To the land.
And this is doubtless the reason why
il is still the custom to hang it from
the ceiling and why il Is supposed to
lose its charm If il touches The floor.

MIRACLE OF JHE THORN STAFF
Pretty Legend Of Ancient Britain
That Is often Repeated in Eng.

II is one of the prettiest legends OF

story of the thorn Of Glastonbury.
William of MaImesbury. the chronicler,
told Ii hundreds OF years ago i'm his
Antiques of Glastonbury" IL is re-
peated often ats Christmas time In
England. @
The legend tells how Joseph OF Ari-
mathea, was so prosecuted by Pontius
Plate. because he had laid away the
body of Christ i'm his sepulcher, that
he fled to Gaul. carrying with him un-
der cloth of mystical white samite,
the Holy Grail. In Gaul he found The
Apostle Philip. preaching to the heath

One night radiant light awakened
him. and an angel babe him go to
Britain and preach the glad tidings TO

He and hand of followers FOL
lowed the instructions of the angel,
and Arvigatrus gave them the Isle OF
Avalon, and bade them erect an altar
there to the new God. 1t was beau-
tifuI gift. The tiny isle lay warm In
d verdant valley. Sparkling waves
softly Tapped its shore. Soft breezes
played in its trees, and nowhere was
the sky so blue as over Avalon.

Hill called Weary All, Joseph planted

junction against the taking over and
operating of the coal. mines by the
state, asked for by some of the opera
tors involved; an injunction, that if it
had been granted, would have meant
suffering untold and perhaps death to
some. The decision is given in full in
the Yakima American of Dec. Is, but ]
will give a. few brief extracts from it
here:
every strike in key industry in
wolves three rights-the rights of the
employer, the rights of the employees
and the rights of the public"
"The firm establishment by law OF
the rights of the people is the next
step in the life of the American peo-
pie. Heretofore the public has been
the sufferer. Private rights have been
placed before public welfare. En-
ployer and employees have been per-
mitted to fight while the public has
acted simply as police officer, and
borne most of the loss. By long suf-
fering we have got sufficient wisdom
to end that regime.
"***I cannot believe that just men,
if their minds We're not inflamed by po-
litical passions, would think of char
acterizing the peaceful operation of
the coal mines by the chief executive
of the state as an act OF anarchy. If
the crisis which was presented to Gov.
Frazier had been presented to Gov.
Hanna or Gov. Lowden and he had
called out the militia and operated the
mines would any just man have con-
sidered that he was guilty of an act of
anarchy? IS If he had failed to
do what he did condition of anarchy
might well have arisen.* = will go
back to the great anthracite strike in
1902, when Theodore Roosevelt was
president and when he warned the
owners of the anthracite mines that if
the strike was not settled and the pro-
duction of coal resumed, he would take
possession of the mines and operate
them. If he had done SO, ! know the
American people would have approved
his act. IS The only thing that
would meet the needs of the situation
and safeguard society from a great
disaster that was impending was the
actual operation of the mines. The
mines have been operated here; they
have not been operated elsewhere.
That is one Of the outstanding facts
of the present nationwide strike. =
I therefore deny the application for
an Injunction"
Now Mr.. Keith, does this fill the
kill? By their fruits shall We know
them, and by the results such as the
above we know that Governor Frazier
and the people of North Dakota are
on the right track. They have the
right idea, to vote for the men instead
Of the party, and they are making
majority rule" a reality in North Da-
