GETTING MISTLETOE
FROM OKLAHOMA.
-H-H"t"fr'H'-M--M''y'
I TO SEND WITH CHRISTMAS
QIFT8.
How the Kissing Plant Is Gath
ered and Marketed.
DOURTI.RSS many peoplo whllo
purchasing their Yuletldo deco
rutloux havo often wondered
whence come the Immense supplies of
mistletoe which must be required to
1111 the great demand for it dm lug the
holiday bensou lu the cities und towut
of those states too fur north for that
parasitic growth to thrhe, suys l J.
Hherman li Country Life lu America.
Among iiiuiiy of the peupie native to
tho states north of Kansas and Mis
souri who have never tnken the trouble
to look thu matter up u sort of general
Idea prevails that mistletoe is to be
found only ut rare Intervals, nftor a
diligent search, and then on oak trees
with only u few sprigs glowing In a
place,
Tho traveler visiting Oklabomn City,
capital of the new statu of Oklahoma,
duilug thu winter time nnd, taking a
walk out to Wheeler patk, which is
situated In thu southwest part of thu
town, will havo this idea quickly dis
poned from his mind, for nt oven a
conblderablo distance from tho park
bis intention will bo drawn to the
strange appearance which the trees
present nt that season ut tho year,
when tho leaves aro off nud t!6 mistle
toe thrives on every brunch.
Jn thu summer time, wheu tho leave s
aro on the trees, tho mistletoe cauuot
bo seen unless It Is specially looked
for, and then It appears to be almost u
part of tho natural fullugo of thu tree
upon which it is growing.
Contrary to general belief, mistletoe
Is rarely found on oak trees and lu
Oklahoma Is nearly always found on
swamp yr -water elms, which are gen
erally secu growing in lowlands and
along river bauks. Ilcre It thrives lux
uriantly. Thcro Is but ono species usually
found In Oklnboma out of the -100 odd
species known to exist, most of which
are found in tropicul countries und uro
parasitic in nature.
In Oklahoma two or three weeks hu-
fore Christmas the annual mistletoe
harvest Is gathered generally by boyH
who don't wind the dangerous aud
risky Job of climbing Into all Mzeu of
trees after It and brought to town,
where It Is packed In barrels aud boxes
nnd shipped to tho northern cities and
towns, where, along with the holly and
evergreen. It fluds u placu lu those
happy homes which have not forgotten
the good old custom of decorutiug lu J
honor of thu glad Chrlstmastlde.

I A PLEA FOR THE POOR AT ?
CHRISTMAS. ?
y0U 'now ' any homea In J
x p J) your nelahborhood whore
X "K Santa Claua nover comes?
v It thrro a tick father, a fathsr
T out of work, a wldowod mother,
X An old ard Indigent person?
T Charity, It has been said, be
gins nt home, but It shouldn't
f stay there. It should go out Into
T tho highways and byways. Es-
X peclslly la this true of Christmas
j- charity, which should bo the-
J highest kind of Christian charity.
Your children will havo toys
and sweetmeats In abundance.
Perhaps they will havo moro
than Is good for them. It will
mako you happy to look into
their joyous faces on Christmas
morning when they Inspect tho
treasures left for them by 8anta
Claus. Out there Is a sort of
happiness even mors to be do.
sired than this. It la that which
comes from remembering tho
poor at Christmas.
Think of the little ones and tho
sick and aged who will havo no
8anta Claus this year unless you
become their Santa Claus. A
very little gift to ono who other
wlso would receive none looms
largo In tho eyes of tho roclplent.
Surely you can make somebody
outsldo your own family and cir
cle happy this Christmas.
One of the wisest of the old
sayings Is this) "It Is better to ,
give than to receive." This
T proverb embodies and exempli.
X fies the Christmas spirit, which
is tho Christian spirit reduced to
V the concrcto. 2
x Remember tho poor this Christ. S
