T ;j T- r ;-1 rWW5TT f1T" CHRISTMAS ON THE PLANTATION By ELBERT J. LEE. IN tlio antebellum days the negroes enjoyed n whole week of rest- nt Christinas time. Now that they nre hired hands Instead of slaves they cling to this privilege, refusing to work while tho holiday spirit Is In the air. This means that Christmas lasts a week. Every negro man. woman and pickaninny makes the most of the week, and thu fun runs high. On many plantations tho negroes are almost as much n part of tho "plant" jfs they wero during shivery. They have the feeling that, inasmuch as they belong to tho place tho rest of the year, the place belongs to them for the holiday week, and they take advantage of the opportunity to do as they please. For weeks In advance the holidays arc anticipated with joy, though not with any great degree of preparation. The plantation negro, generally speak ing, lets tomorrow take care of itself. Hut some of the more provident ones begin to store up for Christmas. The fattest pumpkin Is picked up from the corn rows and put away for pie ma terial. Tho turkey gobbler In the back yard Is fattened for the occasion. Old Aunty hides her jars of preserves from tho younger generation. Uncle Ike be comes a confederate In the happy con spiracy for saving things to augmout the Christmas spread. Christmas morning tho negro chil dren are up bright and early. There Is method In their early- rising. From time Immemorial southern people, both white and black, have cherished the belief that there is much virtue in be ing tho llrst to shout "Christmas gift:'' in meeting il friend on tho morning of the great day. In some sections this priority of greeting is expected to re sult In tho forfeit of n gift from' tli3 other party. Accordingly the little ne groes make a point of running up to tho big plantation house and greeting tho'whlte pcoplo with a lusty "Chris' inns gif!" in the hope of receiving at least a big red apple, a fresh baked plo or a stick of striped candy such an the general store on the plantation la sure to keep In stock. The best tiddler on tho plantation, is tins hnrdest worked man of all, but he enjoys every scrape of his bow,' while tho dance goes merrily on. The Christ mos dance Is a continued story. It begins Christmas eve and continues every night in the week. If the weath er is not too cold the big barn floor is clenred for tho dance: but If heat Is required the "function" takes place" in the biggest room of the biggest negro bouse on the place, with a roar ing flro lu the fireplace and plenty or cheer on the kitchen table, both solid and liquid. '" ChrlstVnlis" wY6k 'Is'sponY lnvisstt1i(3 The negroes go from cabin to cabin on their own plantation, or they hilch up tue work mule or steers and visit friends on a neighboring plantation Everywhere tho Christmas spirit pre vails, if one family Is short of this world's cheer another family Is glad to share Its own. The Christmas spir it on a cotton plantation is much uipre' In evidence than In a prosperous whltv folks' town. CHRISTMAS BERRIES. Where tho Holly Grows and How to Find the Best. Tho old fashioned Christinas greens wero rosemary, Ivy and bny, but lu the J.OW) tons of wreathing and decorating material which it is estimated that wo now use every year there Is u much greater variety. Kest loved of nil Is the glossy, :ed berried holly. "Holm" was tho old English namo for It, and il is thought to be Identical with the "greenwood tree" of Hiltlsh ballads and of Itobln Hood fame. On our side of tho Atlantic tho American holly (Ilex opucn) Is found from Maine, where it grows as a shrub, to North and South Carolina, where It lifts a symmetrical cone of dark, shining leaves set with scnrlet berry clusters along a beautiful trunk of gray ni.O silver to the height of seventy or eighty feet. Delaware and Maryland are usually credited with furnishing tho best grades of holly to Christmas maikets, but their "Three X" brand, ns seen after shipment to northern cities, Is not so finely berried ns the Carolina holly, plentiful In the region around Ashovlllc. In America there are three, dl-tlnct grades of holly. Trees that stand on dry, barren hillsides, ns a I le. are heavily laden with thick. Miobllko clusters of berries, but their leaves are likely to be small, yellowish and Imperfect. Follow some little stream to n sheltered, sunny glade wltfvo a holly trunk gleams white, and fhero you will find leaves large, dark and perfect, with a thick scarlet fruit age lighting the shadows ovouly nil over tho tree. Something to Live For. Three little girls were playlug. The mother of one came Into the room and engaged the children In conversation. "Marian, what nre you going to he when you grow upV" she asked. "I am going to be a famous singer," eho replied. "Aud you. Susie, what are you to be?" "Oh. I am going to write Stories when I grow up," she auswered. "Aud what Is Marjorle to be?" con tinued the mother. Marjorle. aged live, thought sorlously n moment, and then said. "Well. J am not sure, but 1 think I'll be a widow." , Delineator.
