KAISER STRUTS FOR TURKS
German Ruler, on Visit to Constant!*

According to Herr Karl Rosner, the

Impression on the all highest," who
once mbre took occasion to express his
violent hatred of the English, and to
explain to his Turkish friends that,
without the aid of Germany, Constantinople
could not have resisted for
two days the onslaughts of the allies.
The kaiser brenkfasted Inside an
English urmy tent which still hore the
name of its London maker, and this
Incident, snys the correspondent, "so
greatly amused the wnr lord that he
caused the Imperial standard to he
planted In front of the tent." A circumstance
which added to the splendor
of the occasion was the fact that the
kaiser wore for the first time the full
uniform of a Turkish field marshal.
The kaiser visited the grave of Field
Marshal von der Goltz, Inside the gar- \
den of the German embassy at Thera- I
pta. and Immediately teletminhed to I
Baroness von der Goltz: "I ain send- ;

The origin of this Chris
custom, much in favor a

is lost in traditions t
T .
(By IDA M. BRUCE In Utlca Globe.) I
HEN a young man jit a
mmi I Christmas party leads,
V / with on attempt at nonchnlunce,
some charming
yrY young lady beneath a
QpQce-X bough of mistletoe In order
to win n "mistletoe
kiss" he Is of the opinion
that he Is luring the young lady Into
n situation where, by the decree of an
nnclent custom, she must forfeit the
aforesaid kiss.
Frankness compels me to confess
that the luring Is done by the young
lady. For their Christmas parties they
secure and suspend the mistletoe and
she Is Indeed a most sedate and rather
chilling young person who will not.
during the festivities, allow herself to
be "lured" beneath the mistletoe. And
all this Is quite within her rights. It
Is a custom she Inherited from ancestors
who dwelt In Ilritnln or Scandinavia,
centuries'ago. Today the mistletoe
nnd the mistletoe kiss are associated
onlv with Ohrlntmns Knt.
In truth, mistletoe hnd Its significance
centuries before the birth In Bethlehem
which gave us Christinas.
Scandinavians claim that mistletoe
customs originated with them, hut
there Is an English legend antedating
those of Scnndlnnvlu, which tolls how
the girls of semihnrhnrlc Britain, In
the golden age of the Druids, did themselves
hang up boughs of mistletoe
and lure young men Into their embrace.
*
According to this legemt Chelin. an
ancient high priest, had n great temple
In the forest where he taught young
men to become priests. So popular
did this temple become that half the
young men of the couutryHlde were
leaving their homes and people, and
becoming Druid priests.
There was great need of the young
men in the camps to hunt and tlsli and
to plant, and, above nil, there were so
many more muldens than young men
left that they decided something must
he done to reclaim them. The girls
sought an ancient witch and asked her
help.
"Pick yonder mistletoe that grows
without roots upon the trees, go to
the edge of the forest round about the
tree temple of Che!..i and hang It
thprt* nil npnttnrl ??rwl olv/\i?t ?l?"
Stand in waiting there, well hidden,
until the young men coming fortli from
the forest each night to bring foo<Vto
the temple, are under tiie mistletoe,
then step forth. They will clasp you
and kiss you whereupon do you scream
right lustily and the young men shall
be yours."
How the Girls Won Back the Men.
The maidens followed tlds advice
and hung the mistletoe In festoons
about the edge of the forest. Standing
under It, the young men felt Impelled
to kiss the maidens who stepped
forth to greet them. The maidens,
as Instructed, screamed lustily and
('helm and other of the old Druid
priests rushed forth, fearing their
young men were being murdered.
When the good old Druids saw the
young men embracing the maidens
they drove them away, for they would
have no one among them who had
ought to do with women.
And so, through the peculiar influence
of the mistletoe, the maidens
won back the young men, but the custom
of hanging up mistletoe was kept
tin I .liter nft??r thr> lntrrwlm?Hj?r? ,?f
Christianity, tlit* custom was added to
the Christmas festivities.
Christmas Festivities.
From Scandinavian mythology comes
the weird but Interesting story of the
origin of mistletoe, that pale-berried
parasite of the forest. One of the best
>f these legends Is that of Haldur, son
>f Wodln, In the days when those
strange gods are said to have walked
and talked with the mortals on earth,
as did Jupiter and Apollo and Diana
and Lntonln ami the other gods and
goddesses of Olympus.
Itahlur was the Scandinavian god of
sunshine and summer und was nuta
rally beloved by all except l.okl, the
god of hearth fires. For, while the
people rushed out of doors to see Halilur
when he brought the summer sun.
they had no use for Loki until the
next winter, consequently Lokl disliked
Haldur.
Namia, goddess of the blossoms and
ftlfe of Haldur, dreamed terrible
Ireams of the death of Itahlur, uml
die went to the great god Wodln, her
father-in-law, and told liini and lie was
greatly troubled. Hut messengers
were sent forth throughout the world

animate and In- "f??

men and flsh and birds, - ?
the water and earth and rocks and
trees, the winds and clouds and' rain
and snow, all agreed never to harm
Baldur.
"Go forth and weep no more, do ugh
ter," sold Wodln to Nnnno, "no harm
con now come to your husband, mj
son," nnd Nannn went forth happy.
After that all the gods used tc
amuse themselves hurling stones nnd
axes nnd spears at Baldur and he
stood and laughed at them, because
neither wood nor petnl nor anything
could harm him. It was great sport
for everyone. One day while at this
sport nn old woman asked Nannn why
they were trying to kill Baldur.
"Everything hus promised never tc
harm him," she explained.
"Everything?" queried the old woman.
"Except the mistletoe, what can thut

The old wotnnn hurried nwny. Ol

Ever since then the mistletoe hu*
grown without roots, far away from
the ground, and even to this day It It
used by suspending It above the flooi
or ground.
And so It Is that both ancient Brit
aln and Scandinavia lay their claim ti
mistletoe customs and the origin ol
suspending u branch of It beneutl
which youth may kiss. There Is lltth
doubt but what the custom was In us<
a thousand years before the origin ol
Christmas. While the story of tht
maidens who lured hack to theii
camps, and to themselves, the youni
men who were about to become Drult
priests, gives good account of our cus
.torn of kissing beneath the mistletoe
today, to. Scandinavia also beloug?
much credit. When those brave ant
romantic Scandinavians looked for
"ward to Valhalla as their heaven, am
worshiped the cods 'Ifior and Wodli
on Thor's dny-und Wodln's day (whicl
Is whore we net our Thursday ant
Wodnesday), they used to have oer
tain great feast days for their gods.
It became the custom, on ohservlni
Thor's day, to build great tires. Thes<
were called "Juul" fires. As everyotu
knows, the Scandlnavlaa "J" Is pro
nounced quite like our pronunclutloi
of the letter "Y," consequently thos<
fires were spoken of as "Yule" fires.
The brighter the fires, the liighe
the fiatnes towered througli the for
ests where tlie Scandinavians used t<
gather to pay honor to the great got
Thor, the greater pleased was Thoi
and so It became necessary to plcl
out the best of wood tc burn.
Then men would go into the fores
looking for "Juul" logs, and they sooi
learned that the trees upon whicl
much mistletoe clung would give th
brightest fires. They did not knov
the reason for this, and believed thn
it was due to the work of the grea
Thor himself who caused the inlstlt
toe to grow on those trees wlthoti
roots solely as a means of letting hi
lit'iilile k'tiiiw ivlilcli trmw u'ufn tw.w
fur burning in his honor.
And so win never anyone met untie
the mistletoe in the great forests, n
matter how great enemies they wen
they dropped their weapons ami greet
ed t;ach other kindly, nor would the;
take up arms against each other unli

A Fetish of Good Luck.
They began to take lilts of (lie ml!
tletoe Into their homes and bang i
over tlie doorways, and If any enemle
came, they could not enter tiie house
beneath the mistletoe without becotn
lag friends to the people inside so Ion
as they remained there. From till
came the habit of greeting people wh
stepped under the mistletoe with ai
embrace or a kiss, and at great indoo
feasts the mistletoe was hung up ii
the room and the people greeted eucl
other with kisses.
Later this mistletoe hanging a
feasts came to lie put in use only a
