Two Useful Monkeys.

The newest service rendered by

Illustrated in London. In one of the
school districts there were Il great many
parents who reported no children in
their families, and in order to ascertain
the real number Of childcen in the dis

genious measures. Two monkeys were
gaily dressed put in wagon, and, ac-
companied by brass band, were car.

At once crowds of children made
their appearance The procession was
stopped in park and the school officers
began their work, distributing candies
to the youngsters and taking their
names and addresses. They found out
that over sixty parents kept their chill

brass band brought about 200 little

pretty well done for two monkeys

Beware of 0intments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucus surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do are tenfold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. j. Cheney Il Co., To-
ledo, Ohio, contains no mercury, and
is taken internally, and acts directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces of
the system. In buying Halls Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. Il
is taken internally, and made in Toledo
Ohio, by f j. Cheney & Co.
ca Sold by druggists. Price seventy
five cents per bottle.

Most people need encouragement
more than they need rebuke. AT best
this is disappointing life. How COM
forting to know that our blessed Lord
understands it all. If he did not, we
should certainly grow discouraged and
say, Thou art an hard Master, gath
ering where thou hast not strewn."
But no; there is no weary path I'M
known to him; the thorns have pierced
his tired feet; the mist has shrouded
his sunshine; sorrow has filed his
heart; tears have trembed in his eyes.
Friends were very untrue to him; they
left him utterly alone in his hour of
direst need; and sin, with its night of
horror and pain, weighed heavily upon
his holy soul; and knowing all the
pathos of human life, he said to the
anxious, sorrowful group around him:
1t is true. In the world you shall
have tribulatiOn; make up your minds
turned and distorted by sin and its con.
sequences that even my dearest peo-
pie must suffer; but, believe me, that is
no reason for losing heart, nor even
for looking sad; no, be of good cheer,
have overcome the world" "Thest
things have | spoken unto you, that il
me we might have peace" And if We
will only take these things which he
spoke, as recorded in the fourteenth
fifteenth and sixteenth chapters of st
Johns gospel, and believe them, We
will be of good cheer under all circum
stances. "These thing have | spokeI
unto you, that your joy may be full"

Take Your Hands Out of Your Pockets,
Young Man.

To begin with, it does not look well
when young man crooks his arms and
thrusts his hands into his pockets,
making a figure eight of himself, and
then stands up against the sunny side of
The house, like rooster in December
How would the girls look all turned
into Fights and leaning against the wall?
How would your mother look in that
posture? Catch her doing It'll You
don't find her hands in her pockets
Your mothers hands While you are
loafing they are the hands that sew,
and bake and stew and fry and sweep
and darn and nurse; but she does not
sink them in her pockets and then loll
against a building. Are your hands
cold? Warm them up at the end of
the hoe-handle and scythe. Swing the
hammer; drive the plane; flourish the
axe. There is untold caloric about the
spade, trowel and wrench. Besides,
pocket heat is not profitable. Have you
money there, though? Are your pockets
the safes in which you have hidden
treasures, and your bands the bolts that
secure the safe.door? Money may be
there to-day, but it won't be a guest
over tomorrow night. An idler's
money is apt to leap out of his pocket.
1t is likely TO 90 for pipe,a cigar, a
tobacco plug, mug of ale. There is
no money in pocket-waiming. Take
your hands out of your pockets. young
man. You are losing time. Time is
valuable. People feel it at the other
end of the line, when death is near and
eternity pressing them into such
small quarters, for the work of
this life Graves hours, days, weeks,
years. If those at this end of the line
of youth, with its abundance of re-
sources, would only feel that time was
precious. Time is a quarry. Every
hour may be nugget of gold 1t is
time in whose Invaluable moments we
build our bridges, spike the iron rails
to the sleepers, launch our ships, dig
our canals, run our factories. You

cHIlDREN's CHRISTMAS CLUB.
The Fifth Annual Dinner Successful
" Given In City Hall.

One of the most satisfactory dinners ever
given by the Chrildren's Christmas Club
took place in City Hall Saturday afternoon.
There were 652 children present, and an
abundance Of food was left over to be sent
TO homes where it will do the most good.
The absence of Miss Sargent, while it de-
prlyed the club of the benefit of her experi-
ence. gave an opportunity for the younger
members to direct affairs, and the success Of
the dinner showed that they were fully cap
able of managing it,
Mrs. Hugh j. Chisholm had charge of the
dinner as head waiter, and her task was not
small. There were 50 tables, each with no
less than 20 plates. The bill of fare con :
sisted of cold turkey, chicken. meats, rolls.
pies. cakes and figs. After the children had
eaten their fill, the fragments were gathered
up, and when the children came to go home
those who wished, were given cakes or rolls
or broken bits, as they desired.
When the children arrived they were sent
to their respective dressing rooms where the
wraps were removed ard left under the care
| of the heads of that department, Mrs. Haw.
| ley and Mr.. Hiram Cook. After leaving the
dressing rooms the children gathered in the
corridor where Mr.. VIM. lngraham, the mar
shall, and the respective squad leaders placed
them in line and marched them into the hall
where the floor manager, Mr.. Frank b.
Knapp, seated them at the tables and turned
them over to Mrs. Chisholm's walters.
After the children were all seated, L resi-
dent Bailey of the club called the mbly
to order and delivered short address of
welcome introducing in its close Mayor Mel
| cher. The Mayor made short address an
gave way to Rev. Henry Blanchard, who
| said grace. The children were then told
| that the time for the discussion of the prin-
| cipal business of the day had come and the
dinner was attacked.
| After the children had eaten their fill the
tables were removed and the entertainment
| which had been provided commenced. A
piano solo by Prof Rounds, reading by
Mary L. Perry, an athletic exhibition by
Prof. Lees class. brilliant broadsword con.
test between Prof. Lee and Prof. e. Benz, a
banjo solo by Mr.. Glynn, and Mr.. George
Thomas's laughing song completed this feat
ure of the days programme.
At the close of the entertainment. Mr.. In.
| graham announced that as the children
passed out those who were old enough to at.
tend would, through the generosity of Mr.
Ira f. Clark, be presented with ticket to
the English ballard concert, which will take
place on the fifth of February. The club
wishes to extend thanks to Fl. b. Bennett
Kendall d Whitney and G. NJ. Rice & Co.,
for supplies furnished for the dinner.

Found Drowned.

Night Waterman James Price towed
ashore to Fish Point Saturday morning, the
body of man found floating in the water
and it was taken to Mr.. Rich's shop. The
body was badly decomposed and the pockets
of the mans trousers were filed with stones
suggesting suicide. The body was recognized
as that of Samuel Wilson, who had boarded
at Foxon's on Fore street. He was Rus
sian-Finn and had lived in Portland for the
past 80 years, being engaged in the fishing
business. At one time he was part owner in
the schooners John Somes and the Franklin
Skillings. He was once worth considerable
money but lost it all, and it is supposed he
became respondent and took his own life.
