WITH THE CHRISTMAS PLANTS
Trees and Flowers Are Believed TO
Owe Pecuilarities to Connection
With Jesus.

AAY< HE legend of the Glaston-
\ bury Thorn Is that after the
death Of Jesus, Joseph Of
O Arimathea came over to
England. Shortly before
Christmas. he rested on the summit
Of Weary-all hill, Glastonbury There
he thrust into the ground his stan,
and on Christmas eve 1t was found to
be covered with white blossoms. The
bush Is said to have continued bloom
Ing thus each Christmas eve until dur
Ing the civil wars, when 1t was cut
down. Cuttings from the original
thorn are said to bloom In this same
wonderful way even yet.
The SiliciaB children put penny
royal In their cots on, Christmas eve.
believing that at the exact hour and
minute when Jesus was born 1t will
blossom.
There is cherished legend In the
East that the Rose Of Jericho first
blossomed at the birth of Jesus, closed
at the crucifixion, and opened again
at Easter. from which comes its name
of Resurrection flower.
Many plants, trees and flowers are
believed to owe their peculiarities to
their connection with the, birth or the
childhood OF Jesus. 'The Star Of
Bethlehem" is SO called because its
white starlike flowers resemble the
pictures Of the Star Of the East.
"Our Lady's Bedstraw" received Its
name because 1t was believed that the
manger In which the Babe lay was
filed with this plant.
An old account tells the story I'm
this manner: 'The broom and the
chick-peas began to rustic and crackle,
and by this noise betrayed the fugi-
tives. The fax bristled up. Happily
for her, Mary was near Juniper; the
hospitable tree opened its branches as
arms and inclOsed the Virgin and the
Child within their folds, affording
them secure hiding place. Then the
Virgi ttered malediction against
the .oms and the chick-peas, and
evea since that day they have always
rustied and cracked But later the
Virgin pardoned the fax its weakness
and gave the juniper her blessing
which Is said to account for the use
OF the Juniper as Christmas decora-
lions In some countries.

BUCK HUNTING IS
THRILLING SPORT
TWO LOCAL BOYS GET GOOD
Il SHOOTING AT MASON
w. A. Drake and Victor Hakan-
son Each Shoot Big Bucks in
WildS Near misunderstanding
Community is Being Rapidly
Developed in that Section.

w. A. Drake and Vic Hakanson re-
turned Thursday evening from Mason
this state, where the boys enjoyed
their first deer hunt. Both brot
home dandy buck, something that
most of the. veteran hunters failed
to do this fall and naturally the boys
feel pretty good about it. And to
top their good luck, their hunt this
fall marked their first attempS in
shooting big game.
But we'll let Mr.. Drake, our genial
foreman tell it himself:
"First of all I'dr call the Mason
country the SWEETEST big game coun-
try in the state. Although weather
conditions were not ideal for good
hunting, we saw lots of game. The
second day out | sighted my first
buck, but it was long shot and only
a glimpse and a few hurried shots
failed to stop him.
"Vic was having worlds of sport.
About every fifteen minutes he'd
lay over a barage and every hunter
within seven miles had to "dig in"
or learn to play a silver trumpet. He
got considerable shooting before he
finally landed his buck on Tuesday.
II brot my buck down about l1:30
on Sunday, the 10th. I was taking
a survey of the country from big
pine stump when / sighted him on
the dead run. The first open space
he hit / drew bead on him. The
first shot knocked him down, but it
took two more to finish him.
'It was conceded up in that coun-
try that if Vic Hakanson would for
get to deliver a sermon every time
he started shooting he'd got
a dozen bucks. Vic started yell
ing at 'em before he'd pull, and
above the din of his high-power rife
you could hear him giving them fair
warning to keep going or die in their
tracks.
"The. farming section around Ma
son is rapidly developing. They've
got the greatest soil in the state and
in a few years Mason will be the
garden spot of Wisconsin. Dairying
has already gained great Roadway
and with farmers creameries CO.
operating with them, they are well
along on Prosperity Avenue.
Mason is a progressive town and
they were enjoying splendid fall
business.

WASHINGTON CITY
Of THRIFTY men
SAYS LOCAL STORE
Eager Crowds That Swamp

Testify to This
/ Statement. ..

Appropriate OF National Thrift
Week. which q launched next
p Tuesday on the birthday OF that
fam Gus Amer can, Benjamin
Franklin, Ia this statement just
issued by q local mems clothing
store.
F'riedlander Bros. of AS Ninth
street northwest, are quoted as
saying that the National Capital
has the thriftiest men In the
country. They attribute this
statement to the fact that ever
since they announced their first
sale Of extra mems trousers,
many years ago-there has al
ways been a steady. demand for
extra trousers.
Their business In this one par
ticular line has grown to such
proportions. that they often have
in stock thousands of pairs Of
trousers, in order to meet the
varied demands for different col.
ors and patterns.
This they say is proof Nof their
statement that Washington men,
. on the whole. are a thrifty set.
Instead Of throwing to the old
clothes man. their practically
new coats and vests after the
trousers have gone beyond USE
fulness-they bring them to
Friedlander Bros. at 428 Ninth
street northwest. There they are
matched or nearer matched with
a new pair Of trousers. 50 expert
ly that only the closest inspec-
ton will reveal any difference
Of color or pattern.
Prominent manufacturers Of
trousers in the nearby mercan.
tile centers cater to the orders
Of Friedlander Bros, because OF
their size. Outlines they are
offered enormous lots of high.
grade mems trousers at pr.ce
concessions that make possible
sales Of such magnitude as to
sweep ASIDE all competition.
These sales have been an i'm
portant factor in keeping up
this thriftiness among Washing.
ton men.
Even as we write, crowds are
tamming Fr!edlander Bros, at
428 Ninth street northwest In a
hurry to share In their latest
gigantic sale of thousands Of
pairs Of mems extra trousers.
Perhaps the prices will explain
the reasons for this crowding.
Briefly they are: all $3.50
trousers, now sass: all $3.50
trousers. now $3.65; all. $3.50
trousers, now $500; all $1,000
trousers, now $8.15.
Friedlander Bros, are to be
congratulated upon their efforts
Of putting thrifty ideas into the
public's mind. Their trousers
sales are making business history
and II Is only a question of
time. when they win have every
thinking man swung over to
their thrifty ideas Of making
one suit do double duty, with
the economical purchase Of one
