It's a Wild, Wild World!

THOSE who have been to assert that this is the

and nothing else but.
John Bisonger Chicago sportsman, is under the care

for his life, and is just he can be.
If you don't believe him he show his footprints

medatey the great flock of geese reinforced by those
fiery redheads swooped down him and gave him their

How Bout 1t, Buddies?

JTTORD comes from the White House that President
wv Coolidge will not protest the return OF the former
kaiser to Germany, the restoration of monarchy
with him the throne.
We only spent SO 625 S43 licking the kaiser;
raised 100000 soldiers sent 100000 overseas lost
1072S4 men, counting those who died over here; lent
S10000000000 to allied countries to help them fight
the kaiser most of which well never get back and few
more little things like that.
True told that quarrel was not with the
German people, but with the kaiser And every dough-
boy who braved the U-boatnfested TO reach the
welknown Flanders field inspired with the vision
that he personally going to get the kaiser.
In fact, the whole war, so far as America was con-
cened seemed hinge upon the kaiser and all the kaiser
represented As to the Crusades our boys went to the
far side of the world to rid mankind of the kaiser menace
and make the world safe for democracy That was the
inspiring thought that what the war was all
about 1t helped the Goughboy his marches it favored
his bully beef it softened the sting OF homesckness 1t
alone made the blooming worth while.
And now, they say it doesn't matter. We are not IN
terested in the kaiser any Let him come back If
he likes We should worry!

dough cut out In the form OF little
boy or little girl and baked and which
II was the custom OF bakers 20 present
to their customers at Christmas.
"rule" Is derived either from Scandl-
navian or Angio-Saxon aud there are
four times as many explanations or
guesses at the original meaning Of the
word as there are letters IN Il. IL has
been said that 'yule-log" is a corrup-
ton OF "ale-lOg." and It Il set down In
old chronicles that Il was a custom In
England. more especially in the coun-
U OF Norfolk and other parts OF
the North. 10 allow tenants and retain
ers OF the lord OF the manor TO drink
the best or strongest ale as long as
the yuls-log burned. For this reason
the lords servants were Interested In
cutting the thickest and longest-burn-
ing log that they could find In the
lords forest. II was cut as long as
the fireplace was wide and knotty oak
was usually chosen
To the ashes OF the yule-log were
ascribed certain eiiicacious properties
and thsy were gathered from the fire
place with care. For one thing they
were mixed with cattle feed to pre-
serve the animals from disease and
also to cure them of any disease.
Scattered ON the land the ashes OF the
yule-log protected crops against blight
There are authorities" who say that
| the yule-log was the center of the bon
fires which the pagan Scandinavians
| lighted In honor of their god Thor, at
| about the time of the winter solstice.
| and that, Christmas coming at about
the time Of the winter solstice, the
| yule-log burning was continued by the
Scandinavians after their conversion
| to Christianity. Another story Is that
the Christian missionaries, after con
verting the northern pagnns. required
them to cut down large tree, hew
from its trunk heavy log and then
burn that log as n symbol that they
renowned their heather gods. This for
NAL remuneration Of paganism and In
duction into Christianity was often
timed to take place during the Chris
tian celebration of the birth OF Christ,
and It Is said that in this way the yule-
log came to be part of the celebra-
ton Of Christmas.
''Yule" Is spelled in so many ways
by the early writer's that 1t is confus
ing and one cannot always make out
what "yule" Is meant. A clear and
frequent way Of spelling it in the Mid
die ages was 'ewle." Some writers
have hit upon a theory that there is
connection between the words "yule'
and "yowl" or "howl," and that II was
the ''yowllng time" or the time for
making noise and being festive-the
time of greatest revelry Of the year.

what a brute he was TO 90 and leave

she was sure Of it-else how could he
have done as he did? Perhaps there
was someone else? Now that she came
to think Of II, he had acted sort Of
queer the past few days. as II he had
been trying TO hide something from

live with him now, she thought. She
would pack up n few things and go
home to her folks before he got back
from the Office; perhaps then when he
came home and found her gone he
would realize how cruel he had been.
But II was quite a while before she
could bring herself to the point OF pre-
pairing TO make the break; then. still
sobblng, she went to the back closet
Of the little apartment. and reaching

small travelling bag. But in getting
