cannot cash the stamps. If the name
is written in, then only the owner
may cash by giving ten days notice
to the postmaster. In other words, war

THE CURIOUS MlSTLETOE
Something Like 800 Varieties in tho
World-Pirk 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
miStlctoc, unlike other plants, gets no
food directly from the ground. IN
stead, it gets its nouriShmcnt from the
trees on which it grows
Another curious thing about The mis-
tlctoc is that though it, blossoms earl
icr in the year than the tree on which
it grows, yet the little berries do not
ripcn before December. Maybe that
is because it has to steal its food from
the trees, and therefore cannot ripcn
early. The very name ''miSlctoe"
gives some idea OF its inSignincnnce.
In the Anglo Saxon language mist"
means gloom, and it comes in mid-win-
ter, the g!uomicSt time of the year.
The gathering of miStictOc was a
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 Onk,
and, with a icwclcd knife, remove the
sacred miStlrtoc. The others stood be-
meath the tree and caught the plant
upon n white cloth, for, if Il portion
of it touched the earth, it was an omen
Of misfortune to the land.

MIRACLE OF THE THORN STAFF
Pretty Legend of Ancient Britain
That Is Often Repeated In Eng.
land at Christmas Time.

1t is one of the prettiest legends of
ancient Britain-the old Christmas
story of the thorn of Glastonbury.
William of Malmcsbury, the chronicler,
told 1t hundreds of years ago in his
antiques Of Glastonbury" 1t Is re-
peated often at 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 in his scpulchcr, that
he fled to Gaul, carrying with him un-
der a cloth Of mystical white samite,
the Holy Grail. In Gaul he found the
Apostle Philip, preaching to the heath
eE, and he rested with him q few days.
One night radiant light awakened
him, and an angel bade him go to
Britain and preach the glad tldings to
King Arvigatrus; and, where Christ
mas miracle should come to pass,
there to build church.
He and a band 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 now God. 1t was beau
tifui gift. The tiny isle lay warm in
verdant valley. Sparkling waveF
softly Tapped its shore. Soft breczes
played in It's trees, and nowhere was
the sky so blue rs over Avalon.
When they reached the top Of the
Hill called Weary All, Joseph planted
his thorn staff he had carried with
him on his long journeys over land
and sea, deep into the ground, and 10
1t took root, and Immediately there
blosSomcd a bush of beautiful whito
flowers
"ThiS is whcrc we will build our
church." the good man said, and so,
at Glastonbury Abbcy-for so Avalon
is known today-the thorn bushes
bloom white at each Christmas time,
lend their fragrance to the frosty air,
and remind all who see them of the
Christmas miracle

THE PROBLEM OF GETTING COM.
. MISSION statesmen TO STICK
A Cold. .Blooded Sales Manager

THE day after Bruno Duke had told
l.. me something of "the problem of
the Glider Automobile Company" he
and I visited the factory, which was
about half an hours trolley ride from
the hotel.
There met Mike Feather, the general
sales manager, and he proved to be
everything thought he would not be.
OF course, knew he would be a big
man physically, for Duke had told me
SO, but expected to find jovial "hail
fellow we'll met" kind of chap. Instead
he proved to be rather surly looking and
regular "show- me" kind of chap.
He spoke in a very positive, domi-
neering way, and was evidently more
in the habit of giving commands to his
district managers than in, writing thu
man" letters to them.
He was a bright chap, though, for
whatever Duke asked him he could an
swer. He had charts, graphs, statistics
and comparative figures of every angle
of the business.
He knew to cent what each car cost
to sell; he knew exactly what each man
did; he could tell the percentage of in
crease in sales in each branch and the
statistical value of each branch both
from population and for the wealth in
the territory.
As Duke dryly said afterward, LAS
general sales manager he's an excel
lent statistician. He knows what has
been done and what must be done to
keen the factory going, but he doesn I
know how to help the statesmen and dis
trict men to get the sales"
"You observe, gentlemen" his words
came out short and curt, that the cost
of getting statesmen is increasing rap
idly. In exactly-er-two years and
twenty eight weeks the cost OF selling
our cars will exactly equal the prott
assuming that the sales expenses con

"Very clear" commented Duke
.. "your data is very complete and exact
remarkably so-but what have yo'
planned to reduce it?-what suggestions
have you given the district MANAGER
to help them? You know, Mr.. Feather
that it's harder than ever to get goo'
statesmen on commission basis.
Feather shot questioning look a
