Rabbits Provide
Christmas Cheer
Jack rabbit itew will form the
piece de resistance on the family
board of hundreds of families to
morrow, families in which there are
growing children, who have not
tasted meat In many day and tQ
whom thi toothsome, savory dish
will offer a fine holiday treat, say
the Portland Telegram.
The rabbit, 1000 of them, weigh
ing from 4 to 5 pounds apiece,
were distributed today from the
headquarters of the Portland Com
mon, Front and Burnside streets.
They had been sent from Madras,
Or., and were the finest specimens
of their kind, fat and tender. One
German woman with a family of
six and a husband on the rockpile
for drink, murmured "Gott sel
dank" a a big fellow, all skinned
and dressed, wa thrust into her
arms.
"It will last for many meals and
the children will be so happy. They
have been coaxing for gravy for a
week," said another woman.
To the families who have been
living on a diet of bread and pota
toes the addition of a rabbit is
welcomed with shout of joy by the
children, while the aged and the
sick find the dish a great delicacy.
The rabbit were consigned to
the Commons in 11 big sacks. They
were dressed but not skinned. The
skinning was done at the Commons
before the distribution took place,
so they were received in condition
for immediate cooking. This was a
boon to many a hard working
mother who after working all day
was glad to have the rabbit in a
form that could easily be prepared
for the evening meal.

Mr. Baldwin Inter
viewed at Portland
Electric railway service between
Metolius and Prineville in central
Oregon is a proposition being work
ed out by the business men and
ranchmen of that section, according
to T. M. Baldwin, a Prineville
banker, who was in Portland last
Friday, says the Journal. Mr I
Baldwin said that a f 00,000 bonus
had been subscribed and much of
the right of way already secured,
the power to be supplied from
Crooked river.
"We are confident that the pro-
ject will go through within the next
year," said Mr. Baldwin. "Our
people are waking up to the need of
better transportation facilities and
the interurban system would prove
an ideal feeder line for the Oregon
Trunk and the O.-W. R. & N.
which now tap our section. The
new line would tap the timber
country and likewise the mines
which are now being developed.
"A new mining region has lately
been opened up 25 miles east of
Prineville and gold ores are being
shiped to Salt Lake City. With
better connections, such as the
electric line would give, we can
handle this much more expediti
ously." F. S. Towner, a ranch man living
near Prineville, was also in Portland
Friday, and said the growing cf
corn for ensilage has long passed
the experimental stage.
SIGNIFICANCE Or HOLLY.
Why holly at Christmas? The
pagan Koiuaus dedicated the bul
ly to Saturn, whose festival was
In December, around Christmas.
The early Christians, to escape
with holly and other Saturnlan
J emblems. The Romans sent their
T friends holly ' sprigs during the
I Saturnalia with wishes for their
t health and prosperity. J
t "KNECHT RUPERT WAS
I GERMAN SANTA CLAUS I
The Santa Claus Idea has grown out
of a variety of legends and custom,
The festival of SL Nicholas, who was
the e.ipcciul frWnd of the children, was
celt United In Germany about the Oth
of December. It waa easy enough to
make this coincide with the later and
more general festival. The tangible
Sauta Claus was called "Knecht Ru
pert," ami usually be was some mem
ber of the family dressed up to repre
sent a beueOceut gift giver. It waa
the custom to have a yew bough
placed in the parlor of the German
borne, and on this all the packages con
taining gifts were placed. On Christ
mas morning the whole family assem
bled to claim the gifts, each having to
guess the donor. "Knecht Iluperp dis
tributed the gifts to the younger chil
dren, but he lectured them also on
oledltnce and good behavior, and. If
any one had been bad. instead of a gift
he or she wag given a twitch that they
might be punished. So the little Ger
mans try hard to he very good before
Christum.

Christmas lullabies to the Divine
Child may lie mired back to medieval
times, lu out- of the Coventry plays
occurs what Is plaluly a cradle song
to the Infaut Jesua, which has been
preserved In music as well as In text
Five hundred years ago the mere
picture did not suffice the faithful. The
scene bad to be enacted. The little
play waa called "The Cradling of the
Child." Standing on a platform above
the manger, boys representing angels
proclaimed the birth of the Saviour.
Priests took the part of shepherds and
gathered around the manger. Hera
stood Joseph. Mary and the servant of
Joseph.
After the choir bad sung hymns,
among them "Christus Natus Hodle,"
Mary sang the first verse of the Ger
man song, "Joseph, dear Joseph mine,
help me to rock my babe, that God
may reward me In heaven the Babe
of the Virgin Mary." Joseph answered
with the second verse of the song,
"Gladly, my dear nurse, will I help
thee rock thy babe, that God may re
ward me In heaven," etc. The serv
ant sang: "Rejoice, Christian multi
tude. The King of heaven, who was
born of the Virgin Mary, has taken on
mortality."
And so the scene In the churches
went on every Christmas.
