familiar ring to our ears, but who
of us has ever tasted the famous
English dainty Of dainties, peacock
pie? Yet at one time, this was a
favorite Christmas dish which. was
brought In with great deal of cere-
mony by the lady, most distinguished
in all the company for beauty and high
position. Many times this dish was
garnished with the head and tail of
the peacock in such way as to APP
pear that the bird was alive. Knights
made vows over 1t to break spear in
defense Of beauty and distress. 1t was
this ceremony which gave rise to the
once popular oath "by cock and pie"
Probably the use Of the peacock
pie as a Christmas dish arose from
the old belief that the flesh Of the pea

Robert 2. Leonord, reveals the famous
star in the most ambitious Of her
roles. No other charter that she has
portrayed requires as much difficult
emotional acting as "Fascinationy at
Caughren Theatre next Wednesday
and Thursday. Altogether it marks a
new step in her career, step in the
direction of tensely emotional drama.
Fascination" is by Edmund Could
ing, who wrote Miss Murray's sensa-
tionally successful Peacock Alley"
from story of Ouida Bergere. Most
of the scenes are laid in Spain. Miss
Murray appears as Dolores De Lisa,
the daughter of a Spanish father and
an American mother. She combines
Latin fire with Yankee pep. The COM
binotion leads her to bolt from the
rigid restrictions of her Spanish home
to join the crowds going to the Easter
Day bull fight. There she becomes
fascinated by a Sandstone toreador
and this fascination leads her into
series of vivid adventures.
The cast includes Helen Ware,

SOME OLD YULETIDE BELIEFS

ATTN OLD superstition says
A44 "a that it is lucky to be bern

French peasants believe
that in addition to being
lucky Christmas Day babies have the

Among Vosges peasants, children
born on Christmas Eve are supposed

Christmas Day will grow up to be

Over 500, 900 Tourists
Visit Minnesota In 922
Travellers Come From Every State in
Union Attracted by Minnesota's
Lakes-Spend $25, 100000

More than half million people
from other states spent their sum-
mer vacations in Minnesota in 1922.
Tourists came from every state in
the Union, attracted by Minnesota's
Ten Thousand Lakes, and left in their
wake more than $25, 0O0, 900. Money
brought into the state by the visitors
exceeds by wide margin that of any
year since Minnesota set out to adver-
tise it's attractions.
This is brought out in survey of
the 1922 season, just completed by the
Ten Thousand Lakes of Minnesota As
ISOLATION.
The figures are not guesses. The
totals are based on traffic census
showing the number of foreign cars
using the main highways and by ques-
tionnaires sent to resort keepers and
large number of residents of other
states who spent the summer in Min
nesota. 2ia=5. rs
Compilation of the data for the sur
vey, the most complete evidence of the
value of the tourist to- Minnesota, has
taken many weeks. oasru .E3.fsE
Main trunk highways leading into
the state literally were jammed with
automobiles bound for the Minnesota
lake districts. A traffic census TAX
en- by the state highway department
during the. summer showed that AL
automobiles from other states were
passing along. No. IL, east of st. Paul,
daily during the period of the census.
In 1921 the number of foreign cars
using this highway was only 264. y
Highway No.. 8, north of La Cres-
cent, was just as busy. So, with the
other highways. Every day during
the summer, approximately 1700 diff
ferent automobiles brought guests
from other states into Minnesota to
partake Of it's wonderful recreational
facilities, while every train brought
large numbers in addition. !,
Allowing for ALL duplication, this
means that more than 500, 900 visitors
from other states spent their summer
vacations in Minnesota. ajSa - a@
And what did they do while they
were here? For one thing, they spent
a lot of money. To see just how much
money the average tourist does spend
in Minnesota, the Ten Thousand Lakes
Association sent missionaries to a
large number of visitors registered on
it's books during the summer. .'f II,
Many Of these visitors replied that
they spent as much as $1,000 and
some even more, The replies showed
that the average for every man, wo-
mon and child was approximately $50.
In other words every single person
who comes, to see Minnesota's lakes,
while he is here, spends $50 in Min
nesota stores, hotels, garages and re.
sorts. asszaaers7s~z-

Though He Didn't Know 1t.
But for Chance Encounter, Mystery
Of Missing Catfish Might Never

feet from his rough pine porch

the heart Of the spring a gully had
been dug which was kept filed with
ever-changing water, in which the
fisherman kept his fish alive.
The disappearance of the catfish
was followed by an eager examina-
ton of the ground near by, and then
cautious fingers CROPPED beneath the
water, without being rewarded by any
discovery that would explain the mys-
terry. There were only two explana-
lions. so far as the fisherman could

was that thieves had rifieo his pre-

"darned thing had sprung leak and
the catfish had got back to the lake"
But the latter proved to be ground
less. and so the conviction was lodged
securely in the fisherman's breast that
his fish supply had been stolen.
He prepared to catch more of the
fish. and Just after shutdown. when
the shadows of night were beginning
to creep over the lake like great blan-
