YULE DECORATION
ICE OLDEN DAYS
(By Perkins Covllle. F, 8. Forest
Service.)
The forest has for centuries con
tributed to the atmosphere and dec
orations at Christmas.
The haullng-ln of the yule-log was
once a distinct ceremony on landed
estate. This log was hauled In by
the young of the household, nnd It
was usually b!g. for the custom de
creed that the youngsters did not
have to work as long as this log con
tinued to burn. Don't we miss some
thing now that many of us live In
homes and apartments without even
a fireplace? The hearth was once the
center of American home life.
The significant use of holly Is said
to go back to the Roman festival of
Saturnalia: the early Christians adopt
er holly as a symbol of their festival.
The custom of using Christmas
trees, mistletoe, and wreaths of hem
lock, yew and holly have been re
tained. The original use of Christmas trees
probably was contemporary with tne
origin of the Dutch legends of Santa
Klause and St. Nicholas.
To mistletoe on the oak the Druids
and Celts are said to have attributed
magical powers. Perhaps some of the
slgnlfioence of this la represented by
the latter-day Christmas custom of
kissing under the mistletoe. We are
getting prosaic Indeed If we let such
a custom die out.
In addition to decorations, we have
from the forest the various edirile
nuts of hickories, hazel, chestnut,
and plnon.
As we enjoy our Christmas, we
might stop a moment to consider the
extent to which, by our purchase of
materials from the forest, we made
possible through financial returns,
happier Christmas In some modest
home in the hlthenana.

tain lion Is the same as the African
lion, with a bushy mane and a tassel
on the end of his tall, but In reatity
a mountain Hon resembles a plain
ordinary yellow house cat with, of
course, the exception that they are
larger In fact, a great deal larger."
Duncan has been hunting pan
thers, his name for the mountain
Hon, for over two years and has
brought down 22 of them. The largest
ne -sv.'r killed weighed 203 pounds.
Duncan tuys that with the exception
of a 212-pounder killed a number of
years ago by Theodore Roosevelt
while on a hunting trip in Arizona,
his la probably the largest ever shot
in the United States.
"I had a hard time with that one,-'
Duncan said; "he had killed 700
sheeDj 150 horses and had done an
estimated damage of $7,000. The state
had put a price or. his hide of 200
and the trouble and time I spent try
ing to get him was well worth It. I
tracked him with dogs for over
miles, and after I finally caught up
with him It took me five hours to
make the kill, I made the kill on
Mount Ord about 7.000 feet above
sea level. I finally got him In some
trees and brought him down with a
rifle."
Lion hunting Isn't so good in the
summer time, but Duncan is ready
to go after them now, and in time
hopes to rid Alpine of these destruc
tive animals.
