Though green the wails and bright the

He cannot be a guest
But where the thought that angels

Good will to men and peace, again
The Christ-child, listening, hears.
He turns His feet with welcome sweet,
Enters, and there abides.
Angels know best how such are blent

Day Celebrated as Christian Festival
for Centuries—Holly Onoo
! - v a Sacred Plant
lir
Christmas Uriy Is the anniversary o^
the birth of Christ', and has been cele
brated as a Christian festlv&l for sev
eral centuries. The Christftmstlde lasts
from the 25th of December tor the Gth
of January, the twelfth day after
Christ’s nativity.
The origin of the Christmas tree Is
obscure; the thought of Christ as the
Light of the World and the Tree of
“leaped in the heavens ap~9T
the stars around .It danced. A peace
come over mountain and forest. Even
the rotten stnmp stood straight and
healthy on the green hillside. The
gross was beflowered with open blos
soms, Incense sweet as myrrh pervad
ed upland and forest, birds sang on
the mountain top and all gave thanks
to the great God.”
It is naught hut an old-folk tale, hat
It has truth hidden at Its heart, for a
strange, subtle force, a spirit of gen
ial good will, a new-born kindness,
seem to animate child and man alike
when the world pays Its tribute to the
“heaven-sent youngling,” as the poet,
Drummond, calls the infant Christ.
When the three wise men rode from
the east Into the west on their sad
dle-bows were three caskets filled with
gold anl! frankincense and myrrh, to
be laid at the feet of the manger-
nlng with this old, old journey the
spirit of giving crept Into the world’s
how Ri ng
gifts,' so 'do we also; gifts that re
lieve want, gifts that are sweet and
Let It Stop at That .
▲ white Christmas Is well enough,
bnt it need not embroider its benefaO’
tlons by adding frostbitten toes.
Life may have given rise to the light
bearing tree, or the popular old belief
that every Christmas eve, trees blos
somed and bore fruit, may have been
the foundation of the custom.
Gift-giving is, of course, the echo
Of the Wise Men’s gifts; and mince
pie, turkey and plufh puddings are
modern relics of the pagan feasts.
Santa Claus, known to every child in
every land in this old world Is the per
sonification of the spirit of loving and
giving.
The holly, synonymous of Christ
mas, was a sacred plant, and the mis
tletoe a mysterious plant, supposed by
the ancient Druids to have some mys
tic power of healing and preventing
misfortune. It was never allowed to
touch the ground, hence the modern
superstition that it Is unlucky for ji
mistletoe bough to fall from Its place.
It was dedicated to the Goddess of
Love, which explains the custom of
hissing under the mistletoe.

“Moos# Riders of Nipisiguit:’’ Few and Exclusive
When the chlljj/ of Nacareth Was
bora tne sun, according to the Bosnian
tegena;
N
EW T6^tR.“»Wd you ever hear of the "Moose Riders of the Nlpislgnitr
No; tf Mura* not. Well, here’s aU about it, as told by Dr. Thomas
v Travis o* this city, who spent two week* at the head of the Nipisiguit river
(Bathurst lakes), New Bronswick,
photographing-decr-and moose:
“The* idea is io find a ifioose^out
in the lakes feeding. Then by canoe
you steal up till you cat him off from
shore..
"But do not make the mistake of
jumping right on to a moose as soon
as you have him handy. Be will jnst
about ‘bust things wide open.’ Pad
dle around him till he gets a little of
the pep out of him. Then talk to him
quietly and handle him a bit till he
knows you are not going to hurt him. Herd him to where he can^Just touch
hard bottom. If you jump on him in deep water he will sink—a moose can
not swim with a man on him; at least, none 1 tried could. But when he can
Just touch bottom get on him and you will have a thrilling ride to the edge of
the lake. «>
‘The one I rode left me. As a ride it wasn’t much, for I stayed on him less
than one minute by the watch. Then he rolled over and sent me sprawling in
the lake. But I stayed by him long enough to get a photo.
‘There is an association formed, called the Moose Riders of Nipisiguit.
To qualify, a man must ride a moose In the presence of a guide id jtood
standing. He must get a photo and have this placed in tho book of records.

TO TRIM A CHRISTMAS TREE
Pretty Trimmings and Decorations
Can Be Made in Almost Any Home
at Blight Expense.
As to trimming the Christmas tree,
first of all, don't trim your tree with
cotton batting and lighted Candles, as
there Is always danger jn this combi
nation, and “safety first” should be the
slogan In all Christmas festivities.
You can purchase a whole lot of
pretty decorations fbr your tree at the
shops, and these* come^ very cheaply,
too. But almost any home can furnish
the decorations for a really lovely tree
without very much exi>ense, aud there
is no reason why every family where
there are children should not have
their Christmas tree.
Strings of popcorn and red cran
berries looped from the branches
make an effective decoration. And
strings of yellow field corn gleam beau
tifully in the Christmas light. Cres
cents, stars and hearts cut from heavy
cardboard and covered with silver and
gilt, or even colored paper, and cornu
copias of bright colors filled with
candy and popcorn are very pretty.-
Form cotton batting Into balls the size
of an orange and cover with orange-
colored ctepe paper, twist tightly and
tie to the tree with a bit of narrow rib-
bonrJ-These are -pret ty otHhe- tree and-
look like oranges.
It Is best to place all the larger
packages under the tree, tying only
the smaller gifts which are tied up In
bright'CQiored paper to the branches.
In this way the tree will not look
frayed and denuded when the gifts are
distributed, and It may be kept a long
time for. Hie children to enjoy.
USE OF EVERGREENS.
The use of evergreens at Christmas
time is older than the Christmas tree,
the.Christians seeming to have copied
It from their pagan ancestors. In a
very old hook we find this reference to
the use of evergreens at Christmas
time: “Against the feast of Christ
mas every man’s house, as also their
parish churches, were decked with
holme, ivy, bayes, and whatsoever the
season of the year afforded to be
green. The conduits and standards of
the streets were likewise garnished;
among which "* I read that in the
year 1414, by tempest of thunder and
lightning, toward the morning of Can
dlemas day, at the Leadenhall, in
Cornhill, a standard of tree, beingaset
up in the midst of the pavement," fast
In the ground, nailed full of holme and
Ivy, for disport of Christmas to the
people, was torn up and cast down by
the malignant- spirit (as was thought),
and the stones of the pavement nil
about were cast in the streets and into
divers houses, so that the people were
■ore aghast at the great tempest.”
HYMN FOR CHRISTMAS.,
Oh! lovely voices of tha sky
Which hymned th6 Savior’s birth,
Are ye nut singing still on high.
Ye that sa t “Peace on earth?"
To us yet t,p ak the strains
Wherewith in t'--ie gone by
Ye blessed the Syrian swains,
Oh! voices of the t!:./!
Oh! clear and shining light w sp beams
That hour heaven’s glory she..,
Around the palms and o'er the streams,
And on the shepherd’s head.
Be near, through life and death.
As In that holiest night
Of hope and Joy and faith—
Oh! clear and shining light!
—.Felicia Hemans.
A Rather Vague Order.
A Wisconsin boy wrote to Santa
Claus as follows: “I would like a air
rifle, a pair of Indinploves a mouth or
gan .a Christmas tree nnd :*ome candy
and nuts that Is all a game of check
er# for." It’s a little vague, but ws.
hope Rants will be able (0 fill the
ardor.

The Whole Secret of
A Better Tire
Simply « Matter of the Maker's Policies
This you will realize—once you
try a Brunswick—that a super-tire
is possible only when the name
certifies that the maker is follow
ing‘the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly a mat
ter of standards and policies—cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per
fection’s price.
To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires—as our laboratories
have done.
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for 74 years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost Reinforce
ments, plies and thickness are a
matter of expense. And these varf-
ations affect endurance. It rests
with the maker how far he > wishes
to go—how much he carl* afford
to give.
For there are no secrets nor pat
ents to hold one back.
Then it is a matter of combining
the best features and building ac
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try a Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless of factory
expense.
* Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other like-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nation-wide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruns
wick will tell.you the story.
And then you’ll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you’ll
agree, gives so much for your
money.
