What Santa Saw in NORWAY.

Old Chris laughed out with the greatest glec,
Zone Of the prettiest stores that ever see
II on Main Street corner OF Cottage.
Its size by measure il rather small
Hut il took some time 10 see II all,
And though I'm old. I'm not in my dotago.
First thing saw as I opened the door,
Hung all around from top 10 floor,
Was handkerchicfs OF every kind,
Cotton and linen silk and lace,
Even for turkey red they had place
A handsomor lot You couldn't find.
II stepped along and my eye was caught
by some thing in Boston Town they bought.
Ear drops and buttons small and large,
For collars and cuffs for ladies' and girls.
Pins for the neck and pins for the curs
And very small is the price they charge
$50 much Jewelry there was in fact
That these ladies with their usual tact
For II had moved their ribbons out
And looked some time before could find EN-.
Piled on the shelf right there behind em
In easy reach @ they turned about
.C;oing across 10 the other side
found many things they couldn't hide,
For here OF goods il very nice line
To make into dresses for common or best,
Walk in or visit, 10 work or 10 rest,
Paids, stripes plain, coarse and fine.
FARTHER down are the ginghams and prints
Innings and shrtings. asnnels and tiekngs.
And the skirts must not be forgotten.
Across from these pants and vests.
Stockings for some and hose for the rest.
And many kind Of cotton.
AT the farther end and well worth mention
Are cloaks that especially call attention,
Because The very first week in December.
Clear 10 fhe bottom the price went down,
And everyone in and out OF town
Will do well this fact 10 remember
MANY more things ought 10 name,
They well worth seeing all the same,
Lack Of space is my only
The Misses Prince and their clerks two,
VIII show all these pretty things 10 you
II you cal this Holiday season.

he pointed out to the writer stocky little
person who stared abstractedly through bis
iron trimmed spectacles and waddled com
placently along swinging an umbrella OF
generous proportions and sea green hue.
The writer remarked that he had seen the
little man before, and inquired who he was.
THAT man, replied the officer. ''is n con-
noisseur and collector OF curios, and owns
what is perhaps the largest and most interest
ing private collection of relics in the United
States. He is not mere accumulation Of
worthless brio a-brac, nor Is his collection
one OF curiosities only Every article in his
large collection has history, and the
strangest thing about them is that they are
daily and many OF them hourly brought
into requisition and made practical use Of by
their matter Of fact owner The dishes used
on his dinner table, besides being varied and
curious, have the added interest of having
ut some period OF their history graced the
board Of some famous parsonage His table

some noted persons

bis greatest treasure 1t is his inseparable
companion, aud accompanies him wherever
he goes. The handle Of this umbrella Is made
from piece Of the Charter Oak, in which il
set n small triangular piece Of stone, Clipped
from Plymouth Rock; the stick is made from
n branch Of the old elm tree at Cambridge
under which Washington assumed command
OF the Colonial armies; the brass cap on the
lower end Of the stick was made from the
trimmings OF a sword scabbard once used by

served as the lining Of "A coat, worn on state

pings were manufactured from a small steel
cannon, captured by tie Americans from the
tiessians at the battle Of Brandywine Eight
oblong pieces Of brass have been inserted in
rs many sides Of the octaConal handle.
These were made from buttons cut from the
military coats Of eight generals famous in
the revolutionary war
