ART THOU THE SAME?

Art thou the same, thou sobbing winter
wind?
The same that rocked the cradle of the
May,
That whispered through the leaves OF
And swelled the anthem of the full
grown year?
Art thou the same, thou piteous, moan
ing thing
Beating against the pane with ghostly
hands,
waiting in agony across the waste
Art thou the same--the same?
Art thou the same, thy poor heart
bruised and faint,
Treading thy way along through twi-
light gloom?
Art thou the same that sang to greet
Caroling in the sunlight like a bird,
Too glad for speech, too glad for aught
but song?
Art thou the same that prayest but for
night,
For night to come and ease thee Of thy
Art thou the same-the same?
Thou winter wind that wailest through
the night,
Thou broken heart too crushed to moan
or cry,
There will be rest even for We, poor
thing,
And more than rest--a Joy new washed
in tears;
For through the portals of the fading
year
Lie sunny hills and fields fresh-clad In
green,
And after night who knows what day
may bring?
And We unchanged, The same-the same ?

Hodur, who was so unhappy because
he could not see that he seldom smil-
ed, and almost never laughed.
why don't you play?' asked Loki.
'How can blind god play?" an
swered Hodur, sorrowfully.
Loki laughed loudly.
s'Why, I'll show you how" he said.
"Stand here and throw this spear with
all your might"
Hodur took the spear, aimed it as
Loki directed. and hurled it with all
the power Of his strong arm. 1t hiss
ed through the air; it struck; Baldur,
the god of sunshine fell dead The
had killed god!
Silently his body was put upon his
ship, and all was made ready for send
ing the vessel out to sea, as was the
custom among the gods. Then came
Mamma, his wife, to see him for the
last time but when she saw the beau
tiful yellow hair about the white face
she could not bear the sight, and fell
dead beside him. And so, side by side,
they lay upon the great ship as it
was set afire and fioated out into the
far-off ocean. And of evenings, when
the sun is going down, you yourself
may see Baldur's ship still burning in
the distant west.
But all nature refused to be COM
forted; it mourned so bitterly that
Hela restored Baldur to life at Easter
time so that sunshine came back to
the world.
Moreover. to put the mistletoe on its
good behavior the gods decreed that
forever and forever it should be Frig-
gas sacred plant and evermore should
stand for friendship and love.
But that Loki might never have
anything to do with the mistletoe, the
gods declared that it must never come
down to his kingdom. the earth, and
so to this day it grows far up in the
trees, and at Christmastide is hung
above our heads in the house.
And. since the mistletoe is the sign
of friendship and love- and Christmas
is the time of peace and good will
why, no home is complete without the
odd green bunch with its waxen white
berries.

So the messenger told about Baldur's
dream. and Woden's visit to the land
of night and the plan to save Baldur.
Come! Promise!' said the messen-
ger. "All the world is promising"
Il will not promise" said the mistle-
toe. And he didn't, in spite of all
the messenger could say.
But who cared? What could any
thing so frail as the mistletoe do to
harm Baldur? His refusal was for
gotten in the general rejoicing over
the fact that all the world had prom
ised never to harm Baldur.
And the rejoicing was great. And
when the rejoicing was at its height
the gods, just for lark, began to
throw things at Baldur, knowing moth
ing could hurt him. What fun they did
have One would throw a rock, an
other spear, another a ball of fire.
and two or three getting together
would hurI whole tree trunk; but
as soon. as anything drew near him,
it leaped to one side or the other,

wasn't that wonderful?
One day, as the young gods we're
shouting over the way they couldn't
hit him, an old woman, seeing Frigga
at her spinning wheel, asked what the
laughter and noise were about.
"Oh," answered Frigga. proudly.
"the gods are amusing themselves try
ing to hurt my boy; but they can new
err do it, for all things have promised
never to harm him."
rs that so?" exclaimed the old
woman. "Everything?"
Eyes, everything in the world except
the little mistletoe, who, of course,
couldn't hurt anybody"
"Well, l am glad to hear it." said
the old woman. as she turned away.
The old woman was Loki in dis
guise!
He hurried straight to the old oak,
climbed up, and cut piece of mis-
tletoe, and, running TO his dark den.
turned the slender bit of vine by mag
ic into long. sharp spear. Then. with
the evil weapon. he rushed to where
the gods were Playing.
Everybody was still shouting over
the fun except Baldur's blind brother.

Farmers in Yaqui Valley
Live in Forts and Always
Prepared to Fight Indians

Some day it may occur to somebody
to write a book with the title Sur
prises of Mexico" for it becomes more
and more evident that the land is full
of odd places and people. Not far over
the border, for example, lies d region
where life is still lived by white set
tiers under pioneer conditions, and,
as says a recent traveller, the pioneer
farmers in the Yaqui valley have to
live in forts and carry guns for pro-
lection against the Indians" Here are
still wild American ab0rigineS, horde
of about 10000 of them, classified as
the Tarahumare Indians, who live in
caves, worship woodpeckers, and are
for the most part doubtless as 1gno-
rant of the United States as If Column
bus had not sailed from Europe Inc
land itself is unquestionably an asset
TO the future of Mexico, once the pres
ent troubles of the nation are over.
but, except for the pioneer farmers
and the growth of few mining towns,
the ''land of Nayarit" remains much
as it must have been when Cortes was
conquering another part of the coun-
try. In its promise of agricultural
produce a1d mineral wealth it is said
to be one of the richest regions in the
world, but so far sits only roSds are
the winding cow-trails made by cattle
on their way to water holes. Not
single railway crosses it from east to
west; and one line only splits it from
Nogales to Mazatlan. Vast areas OF
the interior are practically uninhab-
tied except for lonely huts here and
there in canons or near water holes"
And the United States is only days
ride away across the Texas border.

gets most of its trees from Michigan,
Wisconsin, by boat.
Each tree is neatly sawed off near
the base, trimmed and tied and then
bundled, the largest trees going in a
bundle by themselves. and other bum
dies holding from two to II trees. The
farmers receive from 3 to 10 cents
apiece kor trees; the ultimate consum-
err pays all the way from SO cents TO
$40. Each carload contains from so
to 600 bundles, and averages 1900
trees to the car.

Woman Physician Asserts
Carriers Prove Injurious

Here's another theory of a woman
physician. Savages develop a better
race than do civilized nations-because
savages do not wear carriers. DR.. Au-
gusta Rucker of New York made this
claim recently before the international
conference of woman physicians, held
in New York. She condemned chill
dren's garters and elastic shoulder
straps, at the same time urging looser
clothing for women, and theeabolish-
ing of pointed toed shoes and high
heels.
