THE LEGEND OF
THE MISTLETOE.
THE hnnglng of the mistletoe at
this coming Chrlstmaatide In
vites the usual tour across the
mystic, musty page* of the
past. This branch of the holiday's
decoration treasures within It sweets
that to the young people are moat
tempting. It was the same ten centu
ries ago, and so It will be for centuries
to come.
While their ladyship* wnftlng
And their lordship* were debating
Ther? were other genuflections going on.
(It la hardly worth while statins
That acoustic osculating
Baptized that British Christmas before
dawn.
The sacredness of the mistletoe has
always been respected, particularly by
the Britons and the Scandinavians. It
was a part of the religion of the
drulds, and they regarded It with the
utmost veneration, but restricted their
worship of it to the plant when found
growing on the oak. The oak was the
favorite tree of their divinity. Tutane,
which the books sn.v appears to have
been the same as the Phoenician god
Baal, or the sun, was prayed to under
different names by the early pagans
At the period of the winter solstice,
which was abont Christmas time, a
great festival was celebrated In honor
of Tutane. When this anniversary ar
rived the Britons,, accompanied by
their priests, the drulds, went forth
with glorious pomp and Jollity togath
er the mistletoe, which they believed
to possess wonderful curative powers.
With them they took two white bulls I
and sometimes human beings to be
sacrificed.
Upon finding the oak with the mis
tletoe clinging to It the chief druld.
clad in white, the emblem of purity,
ascended the tree and with a golden
knife cut the vine. As it fell it was
caught In the folds of the robe of an
other priest Then the bulls snd some
times the humans were offered to Tu
tane, and various festivities followed.
The mistletoe thus gathered was cut
Into small portions and distributed
States on the Curacao and Mr
Morrlaon returned home on Wed

Trade At Home
IT is a hard thing to convince lome people, who hare acquired the
* mail order habit, that it ia to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them, ao they aend their money out o#
town (or something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, r r any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can > nobody
good bat the person who has it and he is hundreds or th.- tands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests of the commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against'mail order bwnnets.
