JOHNSON, Mayor o f the Village Of Cedarville,Clerk o f the Village o f Cedarville, TJKSEJpost-Christmas days shine with a light softer but perhaps more comfortable than that of the great feast itself, rurticip larly is .this true of the first Cay after Christmas, especially when that day Is Sunday. In England, of. course, as in the time of the late Samuel Pickwick. Esq., who brought about the renals sauce of Christmas, this is called box­ ing day, not because It Is the occasion o f fistic encounters, but because it is the time appointed lor the distribution of those more or less spontaneous ex pressons of good will which are called Christmas boxes, Its more orthodox title Js St. Stephen’s day. It is, you know, the day on which, the illustrious ping Wenceslaus. with the assistance ! at ids page, did his noble almonlng. ! We are not old English kings, so in-; stead of having our* page bring flesh-* and wine to the poor man on St. Stephen’s day we give a dollar to the youth from the still vexed Berautbes 'who chaperons the elevator in our apartment house, and for weeks be* fore Christmas we affix' to the flaps of the envelopes containing opr letters little stamps bearing so called por­ traits of. St. Nicholas of Bari. Theo­ retically this last process provides a modicum of Christmas cheer for cer­ tain carefully selected and orgunlzed poor people. However this may be, the fact re­ mains that the day after Christians Is a very good day Indeed. The excite­ ment of giving and receiving has pass. ,ed away : there remains tlio quieter Joy of sober, contemplation. And when the day after Christmas is Sunday this contemplation will not be disturbed by the arrival of the postman, who, a re­ lentless bill bringer, Is, like the Greeks, to bo feared even when hearing gifts. And, in spite of tho remarks of every Humorist who ever borrowed from his moyier-in-Iaw 2 cents to put on an envelope which should carry a Joke about her to an editor, this post Christ­ mas meditation nearly always is pleas­ ant It Is assisted by the consumption of wife-bestowed cigars, which (again despite the humorists) are better than a man buys for himself. It is a pleas- ant meditation, for its subjects are things given and things received,.good deeds done and good things experi­ enced. It also contains, this day after Christ­ mas feeling, a quality of reconciliation, not of reconciliation with ancient ene- mles—this was all Orthodoxly attended to on Christmas eve—but of reconcilia­ tion with affairs, of readjustment. 0 Ohio.

It was the women of Hinglmm, that quaint old Massachusetts town, that first brought down from their attics their grandmothers’ old candle molds and began making the sweet smelling green bnybefry candles for a few. ap­ preciative people who wanted them to burn In homes furnished In antiques. The women of charming old Deerfield, In the same state, shortly followed suit, and then the housewives of Capo Cod saw their opportunity, nil of them us- lng the molds that bad been in the towns for generations. Gueer Christmas Dinner. Roast ostrleh was the prime dish at tho Christmas dinner of the Young Men's Christian association of Eos An­ geles, CnJU a few years ago. -More than 1,500 persons were served from one bird. UR w’nrd Santa Claus Is a cor- Mipturn o f the Dutch San .Nic­ olas, and the story of the original saint from win m tho name and' the custom come is told In the Encyclopedia Britanniea as fol­ lows: “ St. Nicholas, bishop of Myra, . In Lyela, a saint honored by the Greeks and the Latins on Dec. 0, “ His cult is as celebrated ns his his­ tory Is obscure'. All the accounts that hnve conie down to us are of a purely legendary character, and it Is impossi­ ble to find any single incident confirm­ ed historically. "The main facts of his life are usual­ ly given as follows: He was bishop o f J Myra at the time of the,Emperor D io -! cletlan, was persecuted, tortured for i the faith and kept in prison until the more tolerant reign of Constantine and was present at tho council o f Nicaea. “It should't»e observed that this last; circumstance is ignored by nil histo­ rian:-‘ and that S t Athanasius, who kne.w all the notable bishops o f the period, never mentions Nicholas.*bish- . op o f Myra. The oldest knoWn"monu- j mont of the cult o f S t Nicholas seems to be the. Church of Sts. Priscus. and r Nicholas built at Constantinople by the Emperor Justinian. In tbo west ; the name of St Nicholas appears In •tho ninth century records of tho mar­ tyrs, and churches dedicated to him r are to be found at the beginning of the eleventh, century. It Is more especial­ ly, however, from the time o f the re- ; moval o f his body to Bari, in Apulia, i that bis cult became popular. 1 “The Inhabitant^ of Bari organized an expedition, seized his remains by means of a ruse and transported them to Bari, where they were received In triumph on the 0th of May, 1087, and where the foundations were laid for a new basilica in his honor. This was the origin of a famous and still popu­ lar pilgrimage. There are nearly 400 churches in England dedicated to SL Nicholas. He is tho patron saint of Russia, the special protector of chil­ dren, scholars, merchants and sailors. “ In art St. Nicholas Is represented with various attributes, being most commonly depleted with three chil­ dren standing In a tub by bis side. Of the various interpretations of this none Is absolutely certain. “ One explanation Uns been sought In the legend o f St. Nicholas miraculously restoring to life three rich youths who had been murdered, cut up and con­ cealed in a salting tub by a thievish Innkeeper or butcher in whose house they had taken lodging. I “A ’egetid of Ills surreptitious be- ! stowai of dowries upon thej three daughters of an impoverished citizen Who, unable to procure fit marriages for them, was about to self them is said to .have originated the old custom of giving presents in secret on the eve of St. Nicholas, subsequently trans­ ferred to Christmas day. “ Hence the association of Christmas with 'Santa Claim.’ an American cor­ ruption of tho Dutch form *£an Nico­ laus,’ the custom being brought to America by the early Dutch colonists.’’ 1 .
