The following is from the official command: "Again our faithful emissaries have returned in great haste, bearing news of the discovery of a wondrous land adjacent to our Royal Domain, where dwells a contented and un­ sophisticated race who have attained great oppulence and power, and who have hitherto not tasted of the magic waters of Zem Zem's sparkling spring, but have been content to for­ ever live in luxurious ease and con­ tentment, 'Tie said “It's the Cli­ mate" that has thus created in this people such contentment and peace­ ful repose. It may be so, but we must be shown! •‘Therefore, Hearken! At the hour of 12:30, afber the midday repast, on December 27, 1921', the entire caravan will take up its way through the narrow defiles of the lower Y’al- ley of the Rogue and proceed to this Oasis of such renown, reported to be known as the Oasis of Grants Pass, Desert of Oregon, and there bask in the perpetual sunshine said to there exist.

J 'N THE entire category of the saints none continues to enjoy a more extended popularity tbau St. Nicholas, archbishop of Myra. At tills time, when preparations are being made for the celebration of the birthday of the Clirist-ehlld, it is par­ ticularly fitting that we recall some­ thing. of tlie character of this holy man of tlie Fourth century and re­ member some '»f, the legends which bring him so clohe to us at Christmas time. Strange to sa.v. while St. Nicholas Is regarded as the special guardian of children, virgins and sailors, lie came to be regarded as the patron saint of robbers, from an alleged adventure with thieves, whom he coni|>eUed to restore some stolen goods to their proper owners. In various parts of the old world It is customary for the elder members of the family to place little presents In the shoes as well as the stockings of the younger relatives on the eve of St. Nicholas' day. In convents the young women used to place silk stock­ ings at the door of the apartment of the abbess, with a paper recommend­ ing them to "Great St. Nicholas of her chamber.” While the emblem of the three golden halls is derived from the Lom­ bard merchants, yet St. Nlcho- las is frequently pictorially represented as bearing three golden balls or purses, the origin of which can be traced to an act of the saint which has come down to us in the form of au ecclesi­ astical notation. . — -n-'-if • — w — - -- w — - — DECEMBER ACROSTIC i F THE following words are arranged In order, one under tlie other, their Initials will spell the name of something relating to Christmas.
