The newspapers abound in examples
of the early age at which many soldiers
enlisted in the Union army. The in
vcStigations of the Pension bureau are
also said to reveal numberless cases of
notable youthfulness. There is moth
ing unusual in this. Except among
the higher officers, it was noticed in
the Mexican campaign that men over
thirty were scarcer among the enlisted
than boys under eighteen, though the
latter technically could not be muster
ed into the service. And another fact
was prominent: whenever "A call was

a Heavy Bluff.

One Of the heaviest bluffs of the
year was made by fly young man
Thursday morning. He wanted the
gold watch offered 10y Kusel & Co.
very bad and, as held "A ticket on the
watch mot the winning ticket, how
ever, he carefully erased the original
number on his ticket and substituted
the winning number 757. This he
attempted TO sell for five dollars to
Joe BOiSsenin at BoiSsenin Bros sa-
loon, but Joe didn't bite, arguing that
a man who held the bona tide winning
ticket on fifty dollar watch would
be fool to sell it for five or even for
ty-iive dollars. The young man then
went down to KuSel < Co.'S and pre-
scented the check. Dory suspected a
trick at once, as the ticket appeared
to have been altered, Closer inspection
proved that the number written across
the ticket in red ink was different
from the figures, and this proving the
fraud, the young man quietly made
his exit.

"kinp WINTER

One Of the most pleasant Christmas
entertainments given this season in
the city occurred Thursday ev'g at the
Presbyterian church when the school
rendered the cantata, liking Winter"
1t is a three-act piece, and is filled
with many pretty solos, duets, quar-
tettes and chOruSeS.
In it King Winter and Queen
Slumber hold their court, where a
visit to them is made by Santa Claus,
who, at their request, returns on
Christmas night and fills the stock
ings of the children of the realm with
pretty rcmcmbranceS, many OF them
the direct result of letters written to
him by the children, who in the
second act go TO sleep in front OF the
fireplace. after writing their wishes to
Santa.
A platform twelve by sixteen feet
was built in the basement OF the
church, and a pretty stage curtained
off and handsomely decorated. The
mimic fireplace was quite a work OF
art. The stage floor was carpeted
with rugs and furs. On the mantel
were many handsome flowers.
Mr.. VIII Hunt took the part of
King Winter, and Miss Winnifred
Reed that Of Queen Of Sunderland.
Mr.. Edward Tillman was Santa
Claus. Solos were sung by Misses
Mamie Funk, Nellie Shaw, Mary
Briggs and Bcckic Rhodes. Misses
Carrie and May Formulas rendered a
duet, and the Misses Formulas,
Briggs and Rhodes quartettc. AT
one time hfty-ninc were on the stage
singing the praises Of Santa Claus,
while in the distance could be heard
| the chime Of his sleigh bells. The
King had Master Bach for his page,
and the Queen little Miss Schobert
for her maid in waiting. a number
of young boys and girls took various
parts, all doing well. Throughout
| the entertainment no mistakes were
made and no prompting done. From
the opening prologue by Mr.. Ttllman
to the hymn of praise to Him who is
the giver of all gifts, the performance
was thoroughly creditable.
At its close bags of popcorn, candy,
cakes and fruit were distributed
among the scholars.
| The cantata was under the super
vision of Miss Eda Formulas, who
presided at the organ. The orchestra
music was rendered by MeSsrs
Weaver, Jack, Walterscheid and
Moore. Messrs. Otto FrOmhals and
Albert Colweli superintended the me
chanical part of the entertainment
About three hundred and fifty people
were present.

As the day is typical of reconcIlla-

that instead of celebrating 1t in bolS-

"Popc" Bob lngerSOll, at the request
Of the New York 1rij,mo, writes for
that journal a short essay on Christ
mas, which he says is always observed
in his family, not on account Of its re-
ligiouS associations, but because it is
holiday. He believes that the more
holidays the people have the better.
On the same principle, he is IA great
believer in Sunday, and would have
two week were it possible. As to
Christmas, he says it is relic Of sun
worship, and was celebrated for thou
sands Of years before Christianity was
known; before Rome was founded;
before the pyramids Of Egypt were
built; before the religion OF Brahma
existed or before Sanscirt was spoken.
1t was the day on which primitive
men and women Crawled out of their
caves, pushed the matted hair from
their eyes and greeted the triumph of
the sun over the powers Of night.
''Thcre are many other relics and
sovenirS," he continues, 'of the dead
worship the sun among the Egyptians,
Greeks, Romans, etc. As il matter of
fact, Christianity furnished new steam
for an old engine, infused new spirit
into an old religion, and as matter
of course the old festival remained"
In other words, Christianity dealt
with the festivals and ObSeryances of
the heather world as 1t did with the
heathens themselves-it rejected the
irrcclaimably bad and converted,
adopted, purified and refined the rest.
There is nothing to the discredit of
Christianity in that.

Half dozen of wealthy men living
in the same ncighborhood in New

custom Of costly Christmas presents,
inaugurated a new departure on We'd

it with presents for all the members

of Kentucky died at the residence of
II. f. Gedney on Illinois avenue, at

1t was but week ago that Mr.. Ged-

had been poor, thinking the change of
climate would do her good, but the
journey was long, and she, being so
aged, did not long survive the ordeal
of her trip.
The funeral services took place at 10
o'clock Wednesday morning from the
residence of III. f.. Gedney, OBJ Illinois
avenue.
a goodly, Christian, much-loved
mother
Has crossed the shore, and is no more
All her troubles, sick and sore,
Heavy ladened, are no more.
Is it weak when you can't smother
Tears that fall for lost mother?
Then I'm weak, for there's no other
mat can be to me mother.
She raised her voice to Him in song,
And waited patiently and long,
Before the reaper came along:
And when the summons came at last,
And tears were falling thick and fast,
The reaper she did not delay
She did not ask to stay a day
But peacefully did pass away,
Like bright sun at close of day.

An Electric Shock.

During the afternoon Christmas, an
electric expert was called to repair the
electric burner in Riale'S alley. and
pulling the globe down stepped upon
a box under the apparatus and was
quietly proceeding about his business,
when an innocent dog, one with an in
quiring mind, came along and wanted
to get an insight into the electric
business, and placing his fore feet on
the box, touched his nose to the mans
leg. The dog graduated in the nun
dredth part of second. His hind
feet formed a ground connection and
he gave one howl for bottle of Rad
ways Ready Relief, and if that dog
should live to bury all the canine race
he'll never forget that experiment or
foster any further regard for the cleo
