There are no holidays in Scandi- navia to which both young and old look forward with so much pleasure jas the days of Yule. These days in ye olden times, were also celebrated by the followers of Thor and Odin. Christmas and the days following are legal holidays in. the city and there is much merrymaking, but it is not to bé compared to what one wit- nesses in the country.

The house has been thor- oughly cleaned, and’ leaves of juniper and fir are strewn on the floor. When the work is finished the family gener- ally go into the bakhouse, which has been made warm, and each member takes a thorough wash from head to foot, or a bath in a large tub. This is the only bath many take during the ~whole year. In some places old-fashioned ways still exist. Young men often paint or blacken their faces, put queer crowns on their heads or hats, wear large starse on their breasts, and generally carry long wooden words. One man is furnished with a large pouch, and the men then vsit each farm and so- licit contributions for a frolic. Now and then they indulge in great mis- chief and fun. If they find out that a young fellow loves a girl of the vil- lage they visit her house and sing to her the old Herode’s song. ~ 1 The Reason Hudson - Leads in Style eae day you see Hudsons two and three “years old, which, both in performance and style, might well be judged of recent production. \ First, because Hudson guided by caprice. through dubious extremes. design has never been It has never sought attention It has alwevs been too sye of what ate the essential rermanencies of beau- ty and dignity.

As far back as you can something very like the Yulc- tide festi son of rejoicing, attended by a somewhat boisterousiy joytul celebration. About Christmas there is nothing that even approximates sectarianism or any kind of mentai or social narrowness or. littleness. Its spirit is as broad us hums nd all men of whatever race, creed or geogr status, are invited| to, and are entitled to, take purt in its glad festivities. Very pitiful is the human being who, in the e ae ee Awa tor, by himself, like Dundreary’s bird. It is a season, not for isolation and lone- liness, but for fellowship and universal hrotherhood, as though we were saying to one another, “ALL HANDS AROUND!” with nobody left out. When we pause to think of the way in which Christmas originated it becomes easy for us to understand why the season is everywhere made to be the occasion of deep rejoicing and multiform gladness. Me a midst of the Christmaseseason, feels like flocking off Beyond a doubt the festival had its birth away up in the frozen North, in the region of the aurora borealis, where the ‘battle between the cold and’ 4 the heat, the darkness and the light, is the longest and the most terrible; and ; i was quite natural that at the turn of the sun, when the light and the i warmth began to return, men should turn themselves loose in a sort:of a paroxysm of joy. . “2 And by degrees the festivities of the men of the\far north worked their way southward; for even there the return of the sun\ meant life to men, meant the sunshine and heat without which the human race must perish. The hyperboreans had their Christ, Baldur by name, Baldur the good, 4 the gentle, the compassionate, who, taking pity on them destroyed the Frost Giant and saved them from death. We cannot very well blame the hyperbor- cans if, at first, their religion.was largely of 2 material type—the worship of the sun, for Baldur was no more than the sun idealized. beet Christ—not the petty Christ of the professional theologian,, but bane Christ of Humanity—stands for OPTIMISM, All is well. be troubled. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. no evil, the thing we call “evil” being but good in the making. “I am come that ye might have life, not death; confidence, not despair; gladness, not weeping and wailing.” , : x 8 * Away with all grouchiness and greed, all doubt and despair!. This is the season of love and good-will, of hope and gladness. everywhere “orthodox” and in ofder. If you are able to do so at no other,time of the year, during the Christmas time resolve to have the full courage of your noble self, and to let: your worthiest and bravest sentiment assert itself to the fuil. 4 Let joy be unconfined! Again jbe it said, “ALL ‘IS WEL! i he Sun is net going to ‘be conquered by the Frost King; the anarchists are not going to overthrow the Constitution of the United States and the government that was inaugurated by our venerated Washington; in spite of the little politi- oi who are ready to “give up to party what was meant for mankind,” the and means of bettering the condition of mankind wil! surely be found: the life of’men and nations shall not have ben in vain; and as for/Old Death, who awaits us at.the end of the little earthly way, for all that we do to the contrary he may turn out to be our best friend. Those who have crossed the north Atlantic in winter need not be re- minded of the uplifting and joy giving influence of the gulf stream. Those who have felt it can never forget it. Once fairly upon the mysterious “river of the sea” the-chill and numbness of one’s body and soul depart, the rigi muscles. relax, the pent-up feelings let themselves loose in singing and chat, and all around sociability and enjoyment, and all the world seems to be re- fashioned for the better. And ‘such is’ Christmas with its: good-will and good cheer, its brave confidence and spontaneous gladness. It is the gulf. stream of life. warm: ing us into the sentiment of a commmon humanity, with its unselfishness and comradeship; and imparting to us all the glad sense of security and victory. a i FIRST CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE It is said that’ Christmas was first observed in the year 98 and that it was not until the year 137 that it was made a solemn feast. Pope Telesphorus de- creed that it should. be celebrated by, all Christians in that year. On one early Christmas day the Roman Emperor Diocletian, hearing that the Chris- tians assembled sin; their-.church: avere..engaged in celebrating the. birth of Christ, commanded that the doors of the church, be closed and the building set on fire. This wd8 done and six huhdred persons lost their lives in the burn- ing church. ~ Bismarck’s Let not’ your hearts: In reality there is» Joy is always and ly Gifts That Your Friends Will Appreciate Car Agency We beg to call attention to the public that we have been successful in being ap- pointed by the Pence Automobile Co., of Minneapolis, as their distributors for this territory in the sale of Buick cars.
