The custom of "kissing beneath the
mistletoe" Is so old that no one knows
when It originated; hut when young
people are found selecting the brunches
that hiive the berries on, It Is fair to
suppose that they know a kiss must
be given for each berry plucked and
that the ceremony Is never complete
nntll every berry Is off the branch.
There wns once a common, though

on oak trees only, but that was so fnr

unquestionably the biggest honor
that has ever come to an Oregon

the easterners with a score of 14 to
