PEACOCK PIE FOR CHRISTMAS Gaily P.'umed Bird Formerly One of the Principal Delicacies at Yuietide Feasts. +1 j HICKEX pie, beefsteak pie. and pumpkin pie. not for?' getting apple pie and cheese, the great American institution?all of these have a familiar ring to our e*rs, but who of us has ever tasted the famous English dainty of dainties, peacock pie? Yet at one time, this was a 4 favorite Christmas dish which was brought in with a great deal of cer*' mony by the lady, most aisnngmsncu In all the company for beauty and high i position. Many times this dish was garnished with the head and tail of the peacock in such a way as to appear that the bird was alive. Knights made vows over it to break spear in defense of beauty and distress. It was this ceremony which gave rise to the once popular oath "by cock afid pie." Probably the use of the peacock pie as a Christmas dish arose from the old belief that the flesh of the peacock is incorruptible which of course would make it a symbol of immortality ami new life. To the people of today the peacock is a symbol of vanity. SOME OLD YULETIDE BELIEFS Season Supposed to Control the Dest tiny of Children Born at Gladsome Time.

For j some reason nor to bo explained, there j is a superstition among some French i peasant wives that no bread must be baked between Christmas day and the Feast of the Circumcision. because an Infraction of this rule will brine disaster on ri:e household. There is a peasant belief of age-long standing that if the cattle on the farm I be given drink immediately after the ! midnight mass of Christmas their health will continue gowj throughout the year.

J ILLINOIS LOSES VETERAN SOLON IN J. R. MANN Legislator Passes at Washington Heme After a Brief Illness; Was Member 26 Years Washington. Nov. 30.?Representative .Tames II. Mann of Illinois died a; h>< honu- here tonight after a brief illnes.. Mr. Mann who had serveu for a quaiter <>f a century as a member of the house, was stricken a week ajr> wiih a chill. Pneumonia developed, his condition became desperate, and l.U' end came at ll:lo o'clock. With him at the end were Mrs. Mann and the physicians. It was said that although ho had recently passed two restless nights his condition did not definitely develop for the worst until 1 o'clock this afternoon. He rallied slightly at si:; o'clock but again suffered a relapse and sank rapidly. The end was peacefhl. Xo plans were made for the funeral tonight but it was said that the sergeant-at-arms of the house would be commumcaieu witn lohiumjw assist in making the arrangements. It is understood that a funeral service in Chicago is in contemplation and that .Mr. Mann will be buried there beside his son who died four years ago. He is survived by hi? widow. Favored Ship Bill The veteran legislator, an ardent advocate of the shipping bill, sent wc.rd to the house leaders early in the week and again yesterday that while he was ill he would go to the capitol and help in the fight if needed. He was urged to stay at home, although none of his friends realized that his condition was serious. One of his colleagues, Representative Sabaihj Democrat, Illinois, against the bill, was paired with him, and so Mr. Mann was recoruea in tne vote*. In the words of friends and foe, Mr. Mann was the best informed man of the details of government that ever sat in the halls of congress. The outstanding features of his long career as a member of the house of representatives?extending over a period of more -than a quarter of a century?were absolute courage and independence and knowledge of legislation, pending and past. There was nothing too little to escape his eye; there was no man or measure he feared to attack. Record of Service Yet by his own direction, the record of his distinguished service was summed up in less than a line and a half of the Congressional Record: "Republican of Chicago; was borr in 185(5; was elected to the 55th anci each succeeding' congress/' That meant 13 continuous terms 01 2ri year^. He was reelected this month and indeed it has been said that the people of his district were determined to keep him in the house as long as he lived. i If Jim Mann ever felt the sting oi defeat when his party in caucus failed-to select him as speaker after h*; had served as minority leader during the 8 years of Democratic house control, his friends did not know it When Gillett of Massachusetts was jiamed, Mann was offered the place as leader of the party, then in power. but he declined. Thereafter he held sway as the free lance of the house, and as chairman of the committee on committees, which assignee j members to committee scats, hi: i nower was equal if not greater thar 'that of the speaker himself. | Would Not Accept Office When the Republican majority ir j th? fiSth congress was cut in the 102i ; election from 1(50 to less than < score, the silent power of Mann \va; counted on for a possible house up hoaval. Months before he had de ciared he never v.*ould accept th( speakership or the leadership. Bu' : his friends set to work quietly in hi: , behalf. Mann heard of it, and re ? iterated his announcement. i While the talk was running thick l Mann, meeting reporters, was askec i about it. '*1 have said before and I sa\ 'now," ho stated, with an emphatic sweep of the arm, "that I would noi ! accept the speakership or the leader ship if it were brought to me on i gold platter." "May we print that?", a reportei asked. * "Yes. and I hope you will," Mr Mann replied. In a few hours the news had reach < i ::!! members, old nad new. it set tied then and there, and settled defin it, ly. the moot question as to wheth . :h" vce:an legislator from the See ;i: tri ; >?? Illinois, who firs: t : rh Vuse in 1897 could b( c :;'; : nnomer iuni. 7l:e:v are still a few late fall flic: : that m 1 swattinir. i There is one comforting thing: Qui 'war debt is not increasing.

RICGS' FOOTBALL TALK ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION I I Charlotte Observer and The State Comment Editorially Upon ..Address Made , Greenville Xc\v?. I The address of IVo.+Mient \Y. M. J Riggs of ' lemson college, before the j Boosters' bureau <>f the Chamber of Commerce here last Saturday has attracted attention throughout the South. I)r. Riggs decried the influence athletics are coming to exert on the colleges. ! i In an Atlanta newspaper Supt. M. M Parks of the Georgia public schools endorsed Dr. Rises' statement and declared -that football and other forms of athletics are monopolizing the attention of colleges to the detriment of their class room work. Dr. Rigors was correct in saying that football coaches have supplanted school teachers, he stated. The Charlotte Observer commented on the speech editorially, as follows: I l.? T? . 1 U? tUlnl OOdieUUll^ 1'isr 5Vl-:il.> IV i/c uniming along the same lines as Major {Heath and Governor Turner. Presijdcnt Riggs of Clemson college ought j to be an admittedly good authority j on what is best for the boys at col! lege and what is not best for them. ! He makes declaration that 'athletics land particularly football, is becoming 'entirely too important in present day j collegiate life.' He was talking at a ! meeting of the Greenville Chamber of Commerce and he proceeded to elucidate his views in entertaining manner. President Riggs maintains ': that 'people think too much of the cal ibre of a football team put out .by a school and too little of the curriculum or the degree of training for citi izenship it gives young men cf the ! country.' Major Heath had said that ' any sort of a robust fellow, showing | / ? '! football qualilcations, could be put j through college, mainly for his athjletic attainments and possibilities, 'land despite his disqualification for j graduation, while other young men ' j better equipped than he, would fail ' j of graduation. President Riggs i; 1 [disturbed and apprehensive over the extent to which football 'has sup1 (planted other school features in the ' ! mind of the public.' He lays the blame 'Inn thp alumni, the newsoaners ant ! the public, for this condition, and foi i a fact, it would seem that all three must plead guilty." The Columbia State also made edi1 torial comment on the address. The State said: |! "The exaggeration of athletics 1 j football in particular, in college life j is udoubtedly an evil and it applie: especially to ihe small colleges. Har1 vard, Yale and Cornell, with theii ' thousands ami thousands of students ' ^ are not overshadowed by the games? ? + Vi ni v f Vtr>Il Stl'O <01*1 nil ?:! V j I I.

Dr. Riggs, president of Clemson, speaks the un''happy truth to the Chamber of Com". merce of Greenville when he declares that athletics have come to be of importance too absorbing in most colleges. "Students and alumni arrive at the ' , opinion that without a winning tean ' | the college will go to the demnitions | (For a winning team a maker of winjnings teams is needed a coach?anc 5 j the coach wanted 'comes high.'
