X -" : s V - v V tAv MM xT The above picture of IIhiip Lage will be readily recognized by his many friends in Hood River. The day before Christmas Mr. Lage came to town to ftrocure some necessary articles to en iven the programme rendered at the l ine Urove echool liouse uiiristmas eve. Anions' other thines was a pint; hat. The hat he immediately prom (led to wear, and as he stepped into the Mount Hood hotel wearing the top hat his friendo there thought the hat so he coming they insisted on his having liif picture taken in it for the Glacier. He makes a good picture, and now that the plug hat is again coming in fashion, Mr. Lage should by all means wear one when he goes from home. If ho wears that hat to the next county convention his party will surely send him to the leg islature. The picture was taken in a spirit of fun, and no one'entered into it more heartily than Mr. Lage. Hans Lage is one of Hood River's most respected citizens, and a short sketch of his life will not be out of place right here. He was born March 18, 1847, in Holstein, mw a part of Germany, since war of 1800. He emigrated to America in 1800, and after living about 10 years in Iowa came to Hood River valley, and home8teaded the now valuable quarter section of land, his present home, near Pine Grove school house. He was mar ried to Miss Lena Ueock in Iowa, March 2, 1871. To them have been born nine children, five boys aud four girls, of whom four boys and three girls are still living. His children, all grown to manhood and womanhood in Hood River valley, are among tha beet citizens, all worthy, industrious and energetic people. Mr. Lage aniliated with the demo crats party until 1884. Since then he has been an active republican and is generally a delegate to the republican county convention. He served as school director about 12 years. At the organi zation of the Roosevelt league in Hood Uiver. December 19, VMJt, ho was chos en one of the vice presidents. It Is the Reflection. White Salmon, Wash., Dec. 20, 1!H)3. Editor Glucier: The Glacier, like a ban ner of light, has come to us again, a cheering, newsy home paper. And say, Mr. Editor, if ever you called the turn, certain, sure, and no cnniice mr betterment, you did it when you said "The nun shines at White Salmon, and everything Is lovely." This epigram should be the watchword of While Sul- monites henceforth. It conies hard, don't it? But come it must to many people coming into our beautiful val leys now. Can't hide the reflection anv loutrer. Where there is so much sunshine and love they are bound to see it. The relleolion that has been doing so much for Hood River so long, so long, is now beginning to find some thing high enough ana uriglic enough in Hood River to reflect back again to While Salmon. A Btrtinger asks, hat are they looking at? He notices the little bunches nt men standing upon the corners of the streets in Hood River and he solves the problem at once by looking. Of cnuixo the sun shines over the river! the reflection strikes him and he wants to come over and see the diamond that is milking so much light. Result, 8 or 10 new homes have been built, Improved farms, more apples, more berries, more cherries, more sun shine, more reflection. No, sir; you good Hood River neighbors, of course, you can't hide the reflect iou any longer behind the Davidson Fruit company's stamp on our early berries and prize ringer apples, tomatoes and pumpkins. We owe you no in win, neignoor; you have done finely for yourselves and in cidentally for Sunshine valley, too; and when visitors were few at your little burg, it was not so much of a task to muzzle the sunshine fruit and give it to the world enclosed in neat boxes witli a. fine label and irrand nicture of old Mount Hood trying to show itself from behind a White Sulmoti straw berry from Hood River, Oregon. And now.alus! the berry has got large, the reflectiou too great to many people coming to your beautiful valley, to our beautilul valley, It must IchK out. i- rom mrside of this grand old river Hood River glistens and shines and mnvts; noble men and women dwell .there, I jnd it elves us Dleasure as we view this and reflect that "H Is more blessed to give than to receive." Polish up, my While Salmon neighbors that the re flection may tie greater. A Nkkuibor. Rector of St, Luke's. A.Minrnliam. Out.. Anril 18. 1103.

Troy Shelley, delivered at the Christmas tree exercises at Union church: Amid the festivities of Cliriatiiiaetiile, with the joyous companionship of loved ones around us. with the siiiiiimerinu lightsof theChristmastreehefnre ns.luad- e iwith beautiful premjntsof winch we are alreadv in anticipation, with si.hduinv or soul stirring music soothing our spir it to rest or lilting them upward toward heaven with all thin some of us are liable to forget what this celebration it for the birthday of our Savior. It is notahle'that three of our holiday Washington's bithday, the Fourth ol July and Christinas are birthday ce le gations.. Kow, it we celebrate) any birthday outside of our own family, there must be some special reason for it. We celebrate Washington's birthday be cause he was the father of our country; because, through his self-sacrificing and unselfish spirit, we enjoy the glorious liberty and freedom of the land in which we live. We celebrato the Fourth of July because it is the birthday of our country; because, when the old liberty bell ui rhiladelphia rang out, it marked the day and the hour when the rule of any European tyrant king over us was forever at an t nd. Why do we celebrate the Savior's birthday? Because he, too, gave ua a beautiful free country to live in. And the freedom of heaven is far more glo rious than the freedom of the United States, for there we shall be free from sin, free from sorrow, free from death. And we celebrate the Savior's birthday because he,too,delivered us from a tyrant whose iron heel is far more crushing than the tyranny of George III ever was the tyrant of sin. And one of these Bins is the sin of selfishness. There fore, on this day,of all days in the year, we give beautiful gifts to others, for Jesus is the first one in the world who taught us "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Before Jesus cama to the world, and before he comes to each of us, the strife was, and always is, to gain happiness by getting. Hut after Jesus comes we know it is only gained hveivinc that the fullest, dennest. inv of the soul is reached by making others happy, as we strive to do on His birth day. To some of us the celebration of our birthday, especially when we were small, has been the most pleasing event of our lives. We can remember when our mother hunted the lust egg, maybe the last nest egg on the place, and took the last spoonful of butter in the larder, to make us a little cake that we might alwavs remember we were welcome to her arms when we first opened our eves in this world. Our only regret then was that our birthdays were so far apart and that we could have only one in a year. Dear friend away from the Lord, you can have another birthday, and another birthday celebration. Jesus says "Ye must be born again." Into that higher, diviner life which our souls may enter, there must be a new birth. It may not be celebrated in your own family, or even here on earth, but it will be cele brated above, for he savs again there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." Sitting here quietly tonight, thinking of all these things, would that some of yon who never have before, would give your selves unreservedly to God and have a new birthday, celebrated with the angels.

It Plctnre.qaa Streets, With Their Quaint Customs mni Traditions and Singular Names The Story of the Street of the Raven. Every old city has its legends, its stories. Its peculiar customs and Its characteristic quarters. Of all the cit ies iu the new world, Mexico has clus tered within it more of legend, history, tradition and quaint customs and peo ple than any other. Almost every street has its story, and these stories cover all the gamut of the picturesque. the horrible, the sentimental and the pathetic. In its early history the City of Mex ico was divided into wards, or quar ters, each one of which was the special home of some trade or profession. There was the Btreet or quarter of the shoemakers, the streets of the silver smiths, of the bakers, of the saddle makers, of the butchers, of the watch makers, of the silk, merchants, of the wine sellers and so on. There was even the street of the coffin makers. Many of these old names still exist though the caste-like character of the streets has somewhat changed. One of the most fashionable streets of the city is Plateros, the street of the silver smiths. Even today there are more Jewelry shops on this street than any other kind of business, and here still are to be found the most fashionable Jewelry and art curio stores of the city. The street of the coffin makers still exists and is now very appropriately known as the Street of Death. It is a narrow lane, running the length of only one blrcfc. Cinco de Mayo (Tith of May) street was named In commemoration of the decisive advantage gained by Mexican troops over the French, which took place upon that date. This naming of streets, parks and public places after dates is common in Spanish countries. One end rf Cinco de Mayo street en ters the Zocalo, the principal square of the city. The Zocalo has seen many historic happenings. There in olden times was the great temple of the As ters, which was, with its accompanying base or pyramid, larger than St. Pe ter's at Home, the largest church build lng in the world. There, too, was the palace of Montesuma, in fact, two pal aces, both noted, one the old. In which were quartered Cortes and his officers a building whose vast size excited the admiration of even the Spaniards them selves, used as they were to the Tsst structure of the Moors of their day, which still existed in opaiu in an vuetr splendor. On the Zocalo, too, is the Cathedral of Mexico, the third largest church building In the world, which occupied 100 years In building. On this public square the common people believed for a long time that the ghost of the unfor tunate Aztec emperor, Montezuma, wandered at night lamenting the loss of empire and the destruction of his peo ple. Even today the humbler folk be lieve that a tunnel connects the cathe dral with the castle of Chapultepec, the presidential residence, three and a half miles away, at the end of the Paseo do lu Reforma, one of the finest and no blest public drives in the world. One of the historic streets of Mexico Is Mariscala. This faces the north side of the Alameda, the largest ami mofet fashlonuble park of the city. It was along this street thut the army of Cor tez, the great conqueror of Mexico, passed on the "dismal night" when he was driven from the city by the Aztecs. On this street, too, occurred some of the most desperale fighting on that ter rible night. There the Spaniards were able to do nothing against the tiger-like ferocity and fanaticism of the Aztecs. On the opposite side of the Alameda is Avenida Juarez, named after the great Mexican reformer, who had freed the country from the grinding rule of the church. This is a wide, well paved street and on account of its width and its central location is the scene of ail the public processions, especially those of ,a civic character. This street is a continuation of the great public drive, the Paseo de la Reforma. Many of the streets have very curious names. For instance, there are the Street of the Lost Child, the Street of Peace, the Street of the Arts, that of the Wood Owls, the Deer, Sorrow, the Sad Indian, the Holy Ghost, of Christ, of Jesus, of the Sanctified Virgin, of the Purified Virgin, of Death and the Lane of the Rat All of these have stories connected with them. Many of the streets have unmes that sound impious to northern ears. But there is no more thought of impiety in naming them than there is in calling a boy Jesus. The Street of the Holy Ghost was original ly the Street of the Church of the Holy Ghost. So on with the other streets bearing sncred names. This curious, in congruous use of sacred names is to bo frequently noted in Mexico. The streets of Mexico commemorate the names of many famous rulers. They also record the names of desperate characters. There is the Street of Don Juan Manuel, who committed murder In defense of his own honor, which he believed his wife had trifled with. Re port says that the house where he lived was haunted and for very many years it remained empty because no one dared to live In It. There is also the Street of the Raven, where it Is said there lived an old mon who had sold his soul to the devil. Here he lived with a raven which the com mon people believed was the devil in disguise. One day the old man and the bird disappeared in the course of a ter rible thunderstorm, leaving behind them only a few feathers and a sus picious smell of brimstone. So the street was called after the raven because the people did not wish to take the name of the devil In vain. Modern Mexico. APHORISMS. In all things It la oetter to hope than despair. Goethe.

Sir T. More. . 'The Value of a Vacation. A vocation pays as much from the standpoint of character as from any other point of view. Just as "every man is a rascal when he is sick," so the best iiitcutloned man in the world may ha a brute when he Is worn out phys ically and working and planning or trying to do so with a fagged, weary brnln. The brutal qualities in a man's nature come to the surface when he hns drained his vitality to the dregs. Ho loses his self control and his pas sions get tho better of him. He does things which in his soul be condemns and says things for which be after ward hates himself, and all because he lacks physical stamina. The long strain of the year has made him so irritable and exacting that the merest trifle up sets him. He goes all to pieces over little things which he would not even notice If he were In good bodily condi tion. Success. American Grit. "I'm used to being drowned," writes a Kansas City merchant, "but it is crowding the mourners to have the price of beef rise because the Missouri river does." That, humorous stream, which now takes away your farm in the night and transfers it to your neigh bor, now annexes his holdings to your own, now overflows you altogether, is a good symbol of American fortune. Bury the dead, get a new suit of clothes on credit, and to work again! Every body's Magazine. Aa Old Jewish Cemetery. The most interesting sight in Prague Is the old Jewish cemetery. It is in the center of the city, surrounded by thick walls. There are thousands of ancient moss covered slabs, some bearing In scriptions of great antiquity which only Hebrew scholars can decipher. The cemetery is unused, but no other Jew ish burial ground in Europe can com pare with it for nge or general interest to the antiquarian. . An Unfair Deal. "Tried to skin me, that scribbler did!"
