That this will be good tourist year is without question, according to Noel W. Smith, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, who recently re- turned from a trip to the Outside Bookings at the present time, said MT. Smith, are greater that they were last year, and the only handicap to be experienced in this line is the lack of accommodations of the steamship companies for handling the large par ties seeking transportation to the Territory. In spite of these hmita- tions the travel to the country will be very heavy during the tourist season, said MT. Smith.

Christmas Tree Custom
Had Origin in German,

The custom Of displaying and dec
Grating Christmas trees had its origin
in Germany. 1t was introduced into
Great Britain by Queen Charlotte, the
German wife of George I'LL The Hon.
Amelia Murray, lady attached to the
court, thus described the Christmas
tree festivities: Queen Charlotte,
true to her German associations, regu
larly had Christmas tree dressed up
either at Buckingham palace or at
Kew palace. 1t was hung with pres
ents for the children, who were invit-
ed to see It; and we'll remember the
pleasure 1t was to hunt for ones own
name which was sure to be attached
to one or more of the pretty gifts"
Queen Charlotte came to the throne In
176O, so that the British cult Of the
Christmas tree is only 166 years old.

Christmas Cards Vital
Part of HOLIDAY Season

TN OUR modern world Of today the
1 sending and receiving Of greeting
cards has come to be very vital
part OF the holiday season, so much
so, in fact, that we can nearly gauge
the number Of our friends by the
number of cards received. Each year
as the Yuletide season approaches
millions Of these little messages OF
love and good wishes travel from one
to another and everywhere mail car
riers stagger under the load Of them
which they carry. For while one
Christmas card may not weigh very
much, yet, when hundreds Of them are
piled together they make NO mean
weight.
Nowadays there are special cards
for every member Of the family from
grapdpa 10 baby. not to mention those
for swssthsarts, friends. ETC.. and
there are cards for any and all occa-
sions. Just ~ you and are recover
Ing from the effects Of the Christmas
celebrations each year verse writer's
are working fsverishly and racking
their brains for new and catchy senti-
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1926-12-08

ments for cards for the next Christ
mas season. A really good verse-a
bit Of sentiment that speaks the very
thought within our hearts-is worth a
small fortune to the manufacturer
that gets hold Of 1t.
1t seems hard to believe in the face
Of all this that 1t Is only little
fewer than eighty years ago that the
first Christmas card was made and
that it was as late as the year 1862
when the public first began to send
out cards and then the custom was
practiced only by the few. But, like
other things that supplied long-felt
need, the sending Of greeting cards
grew by leaps and bounds until. today,
Christmas would not seem like itself
at all without these little messages
from those we love.-Katherine Edel-
man.

The Things Divine.
(Jean Brooks Burt.)

These are the things 1 hold divine:
A trusting childs hand laid in mine
Rlch brown earth and wind -tossed
trees,
The taste of grapes and the drone of
bees,
"A rhythmic gallop, long June days,
A rose-hedge lane and lovers lays,
The welcome smile on neighbors,
faces,
COOL, wide hills and open places.
Breeze blown fields of silver rye
The wild sweet note of the plover,s
cry,
Fresh spring showers and scent of
box,
And soft pale tint of the garden
phlox,
Lllacs blooming, a drowsy noon,
A flight of geese and autumn moon,
Rolling meadows and storm washed
heights,
A fountain murmur on summer nights
A dappled fawn in the forest hush,
Simple words and the song of thrush
Rose red dawns and a mate to share
With comrade soul my gypsy fare.
A waiting fire when the twilight ends,
A gallant heart and the voice of
friends.

A Plea.
(By Esther NJ. Clark

(By Esther NJ. CLARKE
Give me one friend, just one who
meets
The needs of all my varying moods,
Be we in noisy city streets
Or in dear Natures solitudes.
One who can let the world go by
And suffer not a minutes pang,
Who'd dare to shock propriety
With me, and never care dang.
Who in my rarely righteous streaks
Should love me-love me not the
When 1 am given to outbreaks
OF pure besotted selfshness.
One who when I am sick and glum
Can lay contention on the shelf
And just for my dear sake become
A blooming heather, like myself.
One who can share my grief or mirth
And know my days to praise or
And rate me just for what I'm worth
And find me still-oh, not so worse!
Give me one friend for peace or war
And I shall hold myself well-blest
And richly compensated for
The cussedness of all the rest.
