The highways were blocked by drifts, and train service on the Star City branch was annulled. A Jolly crowd of us, hotel "regulars," commerand storm-staye- d cial travelers, were gath ered snug and warm in the Star House lobby together. Among our number were four men, any one of whom, each in his own way, could have entertained the entire compa ny. They were old Abram Star, owner of the hotel, and the richest man in Star county; Tee Jennings, his clerk, the best dresser in town; Elbert McCullen, who, besides being attorney for the railroad, is the ablest lawyer on the upper Smoky; and a New York City salesman, a man of the world, unmistakably Eastern, but altogether companion able. We Joked and laughed, and chatted about the weather, the busi ness outlook, European finances, the elections, Oriental situation, the coming holidays, and finally-grow- ing reminiscent, as homeless men will do sometimes of Christ mas days of other years. "Seems like Christmas would wear out sometime," the salesman declared. "It's so awfully overdone, or underdone, you'd think the rich would throw it up. and the poor would give it up. Must be Just the commercial value at the bottom of it that keeps it alive. Great guns! Just listen to that wind and sleet, Looks like we would be here till Christmas ourselves. A country like this is no place for my business How do they know when the day comes out here anyhow?" "Lots of ways of finding out," EL bert McCullen declared. "I guess it's about the same Christmas here, only two hours later, that they have on the Atlantic seaboard. And there must be something besides commer cial value to it In either place. How about it. Abram?" "Well mebby it's Just an old man's idear, but there's always a memory deep down in every man's lrsides that keeps him looking back sometimes to the best one he ever had. you know, comparing all other Christmas days with that one. And that's a memory you don't buy and sell, either." old Abram declared. It was thus we turned back as homeless men will do sometimes, recalling the outstand ing Christmas days with each of us, when the street door opened suddenly and Tod Witherspoon blew In.

Up to a century or two ago, mistletoe was excluded from the floral decorations of churches at Christmastime because it was considered to be an unholy plant, having; been tainted with paganism before the time of Jesus through its use and worship by the ancient Druids.

Little P'like had a mop of light hair get-tidarker, and the brightest brown eyes that was ever give to see with.

Fassett of the University of Wisconsin. When the ice sheet scoured the land as far south as St Louis, it left an area 100 miles wide in southwestern Wisconsin free of ice, and here some of the vegetation of the Middle West which elsewhere was destroyed, survived. Since the glacial period they have had little power of spreading, and except for a few species, are confined to the "island." Plants from the South also have moved northward, to repopulate the drifted area and the island. One of the surviving plants of the Wisconsin area is the Miner's Lettuce (Montis chsmlssol), which is found from New Mexico to California, and northward as far as Alaska. The Jeweled Shooting Star, more slender plant than the common Shooting Star of the prairies, and with more brilliant flowers, also hss survived. This flower also has been found in eastern Pennsylvania, south of the glacial margin, and a similar or closely related plant is found in the Ozarks. A peculiar species of Aconite, in the CatsklU mountains of New York and Ohio, has a close relative in five places of this Wisconsin driftless area. A kind of saxifrage, grow ing south of the glaciated regions in Ohio, Indiana and Missouri, is also in the driftless area. Presumably, this plant occupied a continuous area before the glaciers exterminated it throughout most of its range. Another range that was cut in two is a kind of Purslane, which, largely destroyed by the Ice, survived partly in the mountains from Pennsylvania to Georgia. A distinct but very similar plant grows in the driftless area. There were at least five advances of the Wisconsin glaciation, sepae rated by interglacial periods when plants could spread. The present occurrence of a very rare species of Lespedesa indicates that It spread after the fourth Wisconsin glacier, but later was eliminated from part of its regained territory by the fifth glacier, for it grows today in the driftless area and on land covered by the third and fourth glaciers. ice-fre- Robinson Crusoe The little Scottish village of Largo entertains hundreds of visiters every year who come to see where Alexander Selkirk, the prototype of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, was born.
