quaintance with them at all.
Few people of the present
span have indeed ever seen
live, whole, yule log in either its
wild or domesticated state. 1t is
practically extinct except in the
unframed and woody regions
where civilization has not yet
tread.
Now and then huntsman or
an explorer will report having
stumbled across a savage yule
log in the back stretches of the
wilderness which lie beyond,
but to actually capture and sub
due" one for domestic consump-
tion is a feat which even the
most crafty adventurer would
not attempt.
In the first place the yule log
is very timid. He is also very
bashful. He does not seek the
association of his human broth
ers and that is one ~eason why
you hear more about him than
you see of him.
AS far as the people of our
times are concerned he is only
a rumor, a kind of myth that
you can believe or discredit, just
as you please.
Among we olden days they
used to drag him into the house
with a great deal of ceremony
as if he, were a corpse going
out. The family would stand
with barred heads and Christmas
chagrin as the pallbearers
brought his prone form into the
living room and loosed the ropes
from his PROSTATE body.
Then the mourners would all
sit around until the victim was
thoroughly cremated and laugh
and talk and drink .toasts to
everybody and everything in
general.
But like the buffalo, the taz-
manian devil and the high
wheel velocipede, the yule log
has gradually become quenched
and the few which remain are
not even given protection by
the game warden.

surprising that some of the younger
