A belated and rather poverty-stricken
toot-traveler, whose railway ticket was
good on all country roads and cattle
paths, stopped at small mansion of ap-
parently four rooms and kitchea at Bur
llngton, Iowa, the other evening, saws the
Ha~keye, to beg nights lodging As he
stood tinidly knocking at the half-opened
door, he heard the shrili commanding tones
OF the lady of the house disposing the gar
rlson for the night: Tommy, 90 hunt 40
Charley and Ben and tell chem to 90 to
the grocery and tell your father to bring
Ella and Willie right home, it's their bed
time, and If they see Louise on the way
send her to Miss Croziers for Alice and
jim, and see If they know where Ezra is;
you take this lamp up to grandma's room
and ask her If she won't take care of baby
while go and find Dick, and while am
gone you undress Mabel and put her to
bed, If cousin Harry comes while l am
gone tell him he's to sleep with you.''
And the traveller sighed and turned away
so oppressed with feeling of overcrowd-
edness that he walked out into the country
and slept all night in the middle Of prai-
rie nine miles long.

Christmas is indeed made merry for the nt-
tie ones, and the custom OF having trees in the
churches distributes the merry, joyous pleas
ure Of the 0ccaslon among many who otherwise
would find IL day differing from others, only
In that there 10 no school, or that the business
u the town Is In . measure suspended. Tues
day evening many, many little hearts were
made happy at the sight Of heavily ladened
Christmas trees, even though they knew their
portion to be an apple. pop corn ball or pa
per OF candy. The surroundings In the
churches which gave the christmas tree enter
tainments were enough to make old as well
as young happy.
There were unusual efforts put forth in Sa-
lima this year and six entertainments were
tian, Swedish and Methodist churches. The
decorations were very beautiful and many
valuable presents were distributed from the
churches.
The Lutheran church gave their Sunday
school Christmas tree decorated with burn
ing tapers and little transparent lanterns. II
was q beautiful tree, and was very prettily
trimmed. There were . few remarks made
by Mr.. Smith and the pastor, Rev. Hartsock.
which were very appropriate aud Instructive.
The Methodist church presented some Of
the most artistic and hastily arranged decOra-
tons we have seen. The light oiled castings
with dark mouldings set on the graceful ever
building, in . manner pleasing To the eye.
Over the altar the finest work was presented !:
the trimming was run In curves towards the
ceiling. forming an irregular arch, ana on
either side ana beneath the arch were app:o-
pirate inscriptions. The tree was ''planted"
IN front Of tile pulpit ana was OeAufliuI one.
The credit OF those nDe DECORATIONS, We learn,
belongs mainly 10 Z. N. Sheppard. The ex-
ercises were brief and interesting. Rev. Lock-
wood made some remarks in his usual happy
vein.

Two Snakes Mil a Racoon.

A fishing party, on the banks Of Shoal
Creek, Jasper county, Missouri, heard a
moist in the underbrush, and going in
the direction of the sound saw a large
coon and two large black snakes in desd-
ly combat, the former getting the worst
Of the fight. One Of the reptiles was
coiled around the coon's body, and when
ever 1t attempted to use its teeth the
other snake struck Tits eyes. 1t at
tempted 10 retreat, but the snake which
encircled it dropped coil, aud as quick
as thought took a haf-hitch around
a small sapling. II tried hard to pull
loose, and while its energies were bent
in that direction, the other snake took a
coil around the coon's neck, aud In few
minutes choked the life out of It. The
spectators who had been dumb witnesses
Of the struggle, advanced aud killed the
victOrs. One measured nine feet and
other seven feet six inches-[St. Louis
