YULETIDE THORN TREE SAVED
Blooming Glastonbury, Subject Of
Beautiful Legends Of Christmas,
Was Doomed to Destruction

NNE Of the most beautiful legends
~ Of Christmas is that Of the Glas-
tonbury thorn. The thorn tree grew
at Glastonbury Abbey, in Somerset
shire, and was supposed to have de-
veloped from the staff Of Joseph Of
Arimathea. According to the legend,
Joseph came to Glastonbury and while
he was resting on hill, afterward
known as Weary All hill, he stuck his
staff in the earth. The staff immedi-
ately grew green and budded, and at
Christmas time it blossomed into
beautiful flowers.
One chronicler states that during
Queen Elizabeth's reign the thorn had
a double trunk, but that somewhat
bigoted Puritan, who disliked the tree
because to his mind 1t smacked Of
popery, started to cut it down, and
succeeded in demolishing one of the
trunks. miracle rescued the re-
naming trunk of the tree by causing
a chip of wood to fly up and hit the
Puritan in the eye. while at the same
time he slipped and cut his leg.
Later the tree was grubbed up, but
a number of smaller trees raised from
slips of the original are said to be
owned by persons in the neighbor-
hood

Little Girl Killed in
Wadena Auto Accident
Northern Pacifs Passenger Train
Hits Car-Father and Brother
Escape With Injuries.

Wadena - Miss Mary Geber Ia
years old, was killed, and her sister
Annie seriously injured on Friday
morning when the automobile in
which they were riding was struck
by a southbound passenger train on
the Northern Pacific crossing. The
father, John Geber, who was driv-
ing, and his son, John Geber Jr. who
was with him in the front seat, were
only slightly injured. The machine
was struck squarely in the middle
and hurled a distance of rs feet.
Annie suffered a broken shoulder
arm and pelvic bone and is in a seri-
Gus condition, but hopes are held fol
her recovery, though she may be an
invalid for life.
There was dense fog at the time
of the accident, it is said, and the
side curtains of the car were up
making it difficult to see the ap-
preaching train, which was late, and
which John Geber says he thought
had already passed.
The car itself was not badly dam
aged. After replacing a broken real
wheel it was driven back to town ca
its own power.

a sufficient justification for growing
the Christmas rose, but besides that
1t Is worth growing for itself. says
Country Life in America. It's large
white flowers. fully two inches across,
resembling those of giant single
rose. although as matter Of fact 1t
belongs to the same family as the but
tercups, never fail to excite enthusi-

The plant itself grows only six to
eight inches high, and the large,
greenish-white flowers are borne In
clusters and nestle closely among the
dark green leaves.

Differ on Christ's Birthday

THE early Christmas were d.
8 i vided as to the date on
which the nativity Of Christ
should be celebrated. Some of
these celebrated it on the first
or sixth of January, other groups
observed September 20 and still
another March %. AS early as
the fourth century, however, the
period Of the new year had been
generally accepted as the time
for celebrating Christ's birth.
The Western branch of the
church observed December Is
and the Eastern church January
6. Finally it was decided that all
should celebrate December 25.
Pope julius l., who presided In
the first half Of the fourth Gen.
fury, is credited with having set
the date.
