Blooming Glastonbury, Subject of Beautiful Leoende of Christmas, Was Doomed to Destruction. ONE of the most beautiful legends of Christmas la that of the Glas tonbury thorn. The thorn tree grew at Glastonbury Abbey, In Somerset shire, and was supposed to have de veloped from the staff of Joseph of Arlmathea. According to the legend, Joseph came to Glastonbury and while he was resting on a hill, afterward known as Weary All hill, be stuck bis staff In the earth. The staff Immedi ately grew green and budded, and at Christmas time It blossomed Into beautiful (lowers. One chronicler state that during Queen Elizabeth's reign the thirn had a double trunk, but that a somewhat bigoted Puritan, who disliked the tree because to his mlud It smacked of popery, started to cut It down, and succeeded In demolishing one of the trunks. A miracle rescued the re maining trunk of the tree by causing a chip of wood to fly up and hit the Puritan In the eye, while at the same lime he slipped and cut his leg. Later the tree was grubbed up, but a number of smaller trees raised from slips of the original are sold to be owned by persons In the neighborhood. Christmas Trees by Million fi XTCItSERYMEN grow large j 11 quantltlea of Norway spruce for Christmas uses rather more In the middle West, where conifers are Dot common In the woods, than on the east ern and western coasts, where they fringe every hillside. But the tree most commonly used Is a short-needle pine found In the woods of Northern Michigan and Wisconsin. Early In September i the Indians about the lumber i camps of this region are set to j work cutting these trees for the j market, and by early November j a little fleet of vessels makes Its J way uuwu Liune oiii-iubuu, a Christmas tree hauled to the foremast of each one, that by this sign all may know that In their holds Is a cargo which might not tempt a Captain Kklil, but Is far more precious than many a one for which good ships hove been scuttlej. Our Commercialized Christmas. Christmas Is the decoration dny of a commercial age. Then, as on no other day, we face with compassion those who have fallen In our Unities for wealth. For a moment we think of the thousands of children who have no shore In that easy life we give our children, and must And the season's Joy In the charity dinner. Along with the barter to which we have debased our ctvlnB within our circle of ae- f qualntances, wo play at extending the spirit of the dny to those who are the pawns of our Industrial game. The Salvation army lass, standing cold and numb on the street corner, collecting funds for Christmas . baskets for the poor, reminds us of the wreckage left in the wake of our prosperity. We give a trifle to help the poor temper the bitterness of the year with a couple of hours' good eating. A PESSIMIST Duck: I'll bet I get a raincoat, or a pair of rub bers, or some thing like that for Christmas. Coffin-Shaped Pie Crusts, Seidell, the antiquary, tells us that Christmas pies wore formerly baked In a coflln-shoped crust to represent the cratch or manger la which out Saviour was laid. .. ...i. How a Modest Gift May Become a Great One Possibly this year you may be disposed to think seriously and con structively of your Christmas giving. - There is more than one way in which you can'make gifts carrying with them values far beyond their intrinsic worth-values real, tan gible andjsubstantial as well as values in education and character building. Suppose, for example, you presented some one you cherish with Jan income-paying investment n the Mountain States Power Company. N l only do you give a substantial present one that does not depre ciate or wear out but also an income, regularly paid so many times a year, regardless of trie owner's health, capacity for work or gener al circumtstancw. This investment-gift may be the first practical lesson the recipient has ever had in financial subjects the use of money and its earning power the productiveness'of thrift the necessity of investment toward the progess and welfare of all an inspiration leading to self control and education in thehandling of funds. If our suggestion appeals to you we are sure you will Jfind a call at our office decidedly intreesting and profitable. Mountain States Power Company Monmouth Ore.

To make them brilliant many pretty little ornaments are needed and they cost a good deal. My plan is for a barrel In place of a tree. I have the barrel now In a closet. It Is covered with old dark green cambric and the day before the great holiday I am going to pin sprigs of evergreen and holly over It It will look pretty gay, I think, when It Is filled with the gifts that are go ing Into It now, all prettily tissued and lied, and my son as Jolly Old Santa Claus stands over it to delve In to Its mysteries and to proclaim the names of those who are to solve them. I am sure we will enjoy our barrel as much as we would a tree. Our Bargain Column 1 and 2 inch Rough Lumber for sale. Parker Bros., Monmouth. For Sale A dozen White Leg horn Cockerels.- O. A.
