The Great Carlyle.

The Carson Appeal hits OF the amiabls
characteristics Of the famous Scotch
Enelish author In the following original
anscdotss:
About ave years ago the Prince Of
Wales called at Csriyls's house and was
asked to dinner. The great critic gave
the Prince bowl Of nush and molssses.
rsssrvinR quail on toast. froes' legs and
q bottle OF Budweiser for himself. The
Prince said:

"Then suaw The toothpicks. you d.
impudent rascal; who the devil invited
you to my house. anyway"
The Prince was quite delighted with
the sturdy old Scoichmsn's bluntn'ss.
and whom hs got home laughed heartily
over it. ,
One dsy Olive Harper correspondent
Of the Aita) called to spend the after
noon, and begged Carlyle to give his
opinion Of the great writer's.

"Never reed the idiots books"
"Thackeray. OF course you"

and the litter like the vine. only worse.
Nothing but dreas. Here Jssms, kick
this woman out Of the house."
Miss Harper sfterward wrote column
lstt-r to the Ala describing her charming
evening With the great man.
When Daniel Webster was In Eng
land hs met Carlyle on the street and
introduced himself. Mistaiina him for
Noah Webster he gathered brick and
Knocked ave front teeth in. shouting
savaesly:
'Ars you the who destroyed

A Jolly Spectacular Partnership.

Santa Claus and Jack Frost have united
their forces to produce one of the most unique
and realistic windows ever seen in our city.
The great show window of Horatio Staples
dry goods store has been transformed into a
frosty, snowy moonlight spectacle. The back
ground OF the picture is painting by La Moss
tho wall known scenic artist OF Boston, the
same artist who painted and arranged Jordan,
Marsh & Co.'s window that is setting all Bos-
ton wild 1t covers the entire back of the win
dow and represents village by moonlight.
There is a church in the centre and on either
hand houses and streets, while overhead
ssThe cold round moon shines deeply down"
and the stars are so real that amateur astrom-
ers might imagine
''The snowy poles OF moonless Mars"
On the right, nearer the front, is sloping hill
and cluster of spruce trees. At the left is
the great attraction of the picture. There lies
a quaint old fashioned, sloping rooted farm
house. On the low roof, and climbing out Of
the big generous chimney is the iolliest faced
happy looking Santa Claus we have ever seen.
He has evidently left his presents in the kitch-
en- below and is now off again to some other
stocking-hung freside. Everybody who looks
wonders how the sparkling, glittering, frost ef-
feet is produced, which covers hill, tree-top,
and roof. This frosty sparkle is brought Gu
charmingly when the window is lighted in the
evening.
The store OF Mr. Staples is full almost tt
bursting OF all manner of Christmas goods
prettily arranged for inspection He says
everybody is invited to examine and handle
freely the goods that are exhibited. A visit to
the dry goods store of Horatio Staples is well
worth your while.
