Bill Before Senate Providing 500
Bounty for Mountain Lions.

A bounty of $lOO for mountain lions
is provided for in a bill introduced BY
Senator j. l.. Morrison, of Dolores,
Tuesday. If the bill becomes a law
the state will pay this sum upon pre-
sentation of the skin to the state game
and fish department within thirty days
from the day on which the animal was
killed. The skin must be accompanied
by an affidavit setting forth the day of
the killing of the animal and the loca-
ton.
Senator Morrison, a stockgrower,
was prompted in presenting the bill by
the enormous damage which mountain
lions have done to stock and big game
in recent years. He has a letter from
John H. Hatton, assistant district for
ester, in which Hatton states that
during the year 1919, mountain lion
killed 9l9 deer in the national forests
of the state alone. not to speak of the
deer which we're killed outside the
forests
The bill has the backing of all sports
mems organizations in the state.

Birth OF the Christ Child An

Good Tidines Of Great Joy to All the
People In Coming of
the Savior.

NJ OW it came to pass in those days.
~ there Went OUT decree from
Caesar Augustus, that all The world
should be enrolled This was the first
enrolment made when Quirinius was
governor of Syria. And all went to en-
roll themselves. every one to his own
city. And Joseph also went up from
Galilee. out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judaea. 10 the city of David, which
is called Bethlehem. because he vas of
the house and family of David. to
enroll himself with Mary. who was be
trothed TO him. being great with child.
And it came to pass while they were
there. the days were fulfilled that she
should be delivered. And she brought
forth her tirst-born son; and she
wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and
laid him in maDger, because there
was not room for them in he inn.
And there were shepherds in the
same country abiding in the field and
keeping watch by night over their
flock. Ard an angel of the. Lord stood
by them, and the glory of the Lord
shone round about them; and they
were sore afraid. And the angel said
unto them. Be no afraid; for, behold
| bring you good tidlngs Of great JOY
which shall be to all the people: for
there is born 70 you this day In the
city Of David Savior, who Is Christ
the Lord. And this is the sign unto
you: Ye shall find a babe wrapped In
swaddling clothes. and lying in 8 man
ger.
And suddenly there was with the
angel a multitude Of the heavenly host
praising God and saying
Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men in whom
he Ia well pleased.

CHRISTMAS IN 1921
Rebuke Administered to New
England Observers of Day.
Young Men Who Had Arrived on Little
Ship, Fortune Reprimanded
for Festivities.

TT WAS in 1921 that Governor Brad
L ford was called upon TO administer
a rebuke to some of the young men OF
the New England colony who had just
come over on the little ship Fortune,
and who wanted TO celebrate the holt
day, the Detroit News recalls. Puritan
ism brought over with Ii In the May
flower the anti-Christmas feeling, and
when the group of lusty youngsters at
tempted TO observe the day they were
sharply criticized by the colony.
The men were called out to work
that day as on other days but the
newcomers declared it against their
cOnsciences to work ON Christmas day
The governor left them and led away
the rest of the workers. But when he
returned at noon the young men were
IN the street at play-sOme pitching
the bar and some playing stool ball.
He took away their implements and
told them II was against his conscience
that they should play while others
worked and that they could observe
the day within doors, but there should
be no revealing In the streets.
On the day in question a tree was
chopped down and dragged into one OF
the rough cabins where it was
trimmed with cranberries and pop
corn while the young people Toasted
their eyes on it's beauties. These rev
elries" were frowned upon by the ma
iority of the cOlonlsts and In 1859 the
general court of Massachusetts enacted
law that made any person observing
Christmas day liable TO fine OF five
shillings" The law was repealed In
1861.

OLD YULETIDE CAROLS
''HoN Night" Regarded as One of
Most Beautiful Songs.
~Oraw Nigh, Emmanuel" One Of Old
est Pieces and Far Ante
dates Any Others.

TT HE ancient Christmas carol, Holy
Il Night" is German In Its origin
and is considered by many persons to
be the most beautiful of all Christ
mas carols. 1t has sometimes been
ascribed to Martin Luther, but the
consensus of expert opinion is that it
70 much older than his time and is one
of the Oldest of German folk songs.
The carol God Rest Ye Merry,
Gentlemen" is English in its origin
and dates back to about the beginning
OF the Seventeenth century, although
the author Of the words and the com
poser of The music are unknown. The
fine old melody sung to this poem pos
sesses all the best qualifications of a
sterling hymn tune and win probably
last as long as the verses with which
II Is always associated.
The carol "Draw Nigh, Emmanuel"
is one of the oldest pieces of coherent
music in existence, and both the words
and music far antedate any of the 9TH
ers. The music is an cd French mel
ody, dated from the Thirteenth cen
y, aAAhOuEhY VI NOulSCs IL has UCtE
harmoniZed to conform with more
modern standards.
There is most curious but besuti-
ful musical effect at the close of this
carol. The words of DRAW Nigh, In
manuel" are about 100 years older
than the music, being taken from the
Mozarabic breviary Of the Twelfth cen
fury, and tits generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy of
the early Christians at Toledo, Spain,
where the Mozarabic breviary was for
mulated.
Another carol, 1.-THE First Noel"
has a traditional French melody and
probably originated In Breton, al
though the exact origin of this fine old
song is somewhat IL doubt.
