THE CURIOUS mIsTLEoE


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
81. Nicholas. But the pink berries
ore found On only the cedsr trees. The
mistlstos, unlike other plantss gets no
food directly from the ground. In
stead, 1t gets it, nourishment from the
trees on whichEit grows.
Another curious thing about the mis-
Sletoe 10 that though it blossoms earl
Ter IN the year than the tree on which
Il grows, yet the little berries do not
ripen before December. Maybe that
ID because It has to steal its food from
the trees, and therefore cannot ripen
early. The very name "mistletoe"
gives some idea Of its insisniflcance.
In the Anglo Saxon language "mist''
means gloom, and 1t comes in mid-win-
tef, the gloomiest time Of the year.
The gathering Of mistletoe was q
very important ceremony among the
ancient Druids. About Ave days after
the new moon they marched in state
y procession to the forest and raised
IN altar Of straw beneath the finest
misunderstanding oak they could find.
The arch-Druid would ascend the oak,
and, with a jeweled knife, remove the
sacred mistletoe. The others stood be-
meath the tree and caught the plant
upon 4 white cloth, for, II a portion
az It touched the earth, it was an omen
q misfortune to the land.
And this II doubtless the reason why

MIRACLE Of THE THORN STAFF
Pretty Legend Of Ancient Britain
That 10 Often Repeated IN Eng

/! It is one Of the prettiest legends OF
ancient Britain-the old Christmas
story of the thorn of Glastonbury.
William Of Malmesbury, the chronicler.
told it 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 Pontlus
iPiIate, because he had laid away the
body of Christ in his sepulcher, that
! he fed to Gaul, carrying with him un-
der q cloth Of mystical white samlte,
the Holy Grail. In Gaul he found the
Apostle Philip, preaching to the heatn-
ec. and he rested with him a few days.
One night a radiant light awakened
him. and an angel babe him 60 to
Brita in and preach the glad tidings to
King Arvigatrus; and, where Chrlst-
mas miracl should come to pass.

He and q band of followers fol-
lowed the Instructions Of the angel,
and Arvigatrus gave them the Isle OF
Avalon, and babe them erect an altar
there to the new God. 1t was a beau
tiful gift. .The tiny isle lay warm n
a yerdant valley. Sparkling waves
softly Tapped it shore. Soft ,breezes
played in its trees. and nowhere was
the sky so blue a. 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
It took root, and Immediately there
blossomed q bush Of beautiful white
flowers.

church." the good man said, and so.

New Iberia, Abbeville, Jennings
and Rayne.
In explanation Of the foregoing
it should be stated that the Lafay-
etc Furniture & Undertaking com
pany is the new firm name and
style Of the successors to the Falk
Mere antile company. The new
company now is in charge Of the
Falk Mercantile company business
and is operating in its own name
and rights, the final details Of the
negotiations for the purchase Of
, the Falk business having been com
pleted and the stock transferred
Tuesday morning. It involved
a cash deal between $4,000 and
100000.
Mr.. Frank J. Dauterive Of New
Iberia, head of the Dauterive Fur
niture & Undertaking Co., conduc-
ted the negotiations for the pur-
chase of the Falk business and
will be the directing head of the
new company. Interested with
him are his brother, l.. J. Dau-
terive of Lafayette, and their
father, Mr.. F. J. Dauterive of New
Iberia. Discussing the deal and
the plans Of the new company,
Frank Dauterive said:
For the present we will con-
tinue business at the Falk stand,
but it is our present plan to build
the largest and most modern build
ing in this part Of the state within
another year and in all probable
ity there will follow a consolida-,
ton of the Dauterive Furniture K
Undertaking establishments with
the new firm and the extension of
it's business to include branch
houses in Rayne, Jennings and
Abbeville. These branches woulI
follow Immediately if the roads
between Lafayette and these
cities were in condition for our
trucks to make regular trips. We
are forcedto delay these branch
houses pending the building Of
these gravel roads that are now
projected or under way.
| "The company will be under
the active management of Mr.. A..
| A. Crouchet, who has been with us
for several years and he has had
twenty years experience IN this
| line. He will establish morgue,
chapel and modern show rooms
! for the undertaking department.
and we will add an ambulance as
modernly equipped as our auto
hearse. The furniture stock will
J; be constantly replenished for we

HAS BUST OF HERODoTUS
Antique In Metropolitan Museum of
Art Identified as Portrait of
Father of History.

DR.. Robinson, director of the Metro
politan Museum of Art, in. New York,
has identified an antique marble bust,
which has been in the museums store
room for 20 or 80 years, as being a
portrait of Herodotus, "the father of
history" The marble, which has lain
In dust all these years, will now as
sumo an important place of honor in
the institution.
There are but five known portraits
Of Herodotus. The New York portrait
bust was originally found at Benha,
In Lower Egypt, and passed into the
possession Of Emil Brugsch Bey, from
whom it was acquired and presented
to the Metropolitan Museum of Arts.
The recognition was based on the re-
semblance of the known portraits and
the finding Of the learned mans name
Inscribed upon it. As a work of art it
was not very highly regarded, but as
the sixth known portrait of Herodotus
1t assumes new dignity. 1t is also said
to be n of the best portraits extant.

HOW THE SQUIRREL HELPS
Uncle Sam Needs Seeds of Douglas
Fir and Knows Where to
Find Them.

Tree seed can't be bought in large
quantities in the market. To restock
the huge forests which are demolished
every year, Uncle Sam needs the seeds
Of the Douglas fir, western yellow
pine, Engelmann spruce. lodge pole
pine, not by the pound, but literally
by the ton.
The government needs men, from
two to six weeks every fall, to gather
seed. When the call goes out, lumber
jacks, college men, hoboes and former
convicts drift into the camps and work
side by side, gathering huge stores Of
the precious seeds. Through expert
ence they have found that their rich
est sources are the cunningly hidden
squirrel boards. The squirrel is canny;
he always picks the very best Of cones
for his winters store.-The Nations

GET READY.
FOR FLU
Keep Your Liver Active, Your
System Purified and Free From
Colds by Taking Calotabs,
the N~ausealess Calomel
Tablets, that are De-
ightful, Safe and
Sure.

Physicians and Druggists are advis-
ing their friends to keep their systems
purified and their organs in perfect
working order as a protection against
the return of influenza. They know
that a clogged up system and a lazy
liver favor colds, influenza and serious
complications.
To cut short a cold overnight and to
prevent serious complications take one
Calotab at bedtime with a swallow of
water-that's all. No salts, no nausea,
no gripping, no sickening after effects.
Next morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system is puri-
fed and refreshed and you are feeling
fine with a hearty appetite for break
fast. Eat what you please-no danger.
Calotabs are sold only inc original
sealed packages, price th~irty-fve cents.
Every druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not perfectly
delighted with Calotabs.-(Adv.)
