A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through

Not creature vas stirring not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that 81. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions Of sugar pums danced through their
heads;
And mamma In her kerchlef and I'm my cap,
Had Jast settled our brains for long winters nap
When out on the lawn there rose such a clStter,
sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
away to the window flew like fash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon on the breast Of the new fallen snow
Gave luster OF midday to objects below;
When what to my wandering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky
SO up to The housetOp the coursers they flew,
With the sleigh fun OF toys and st. Nicholas, too;
And then I'm a twlnklng heard on the roof
The pranclns and paving Of each little hoof,
As drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney st. Nicholas came with bound.
He was dressed all In fur from his head to his foot
And his clothes were all tarnlshed with ashes and
SCOT;
bundle OF toys he had Aung on his back
And he looked like pedder Just opening his pack.
II is eyes how they twlnEled! his dlmples how
merry,
us cheeks were like roses, his nose Ikea cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard his chin was as white as the snow
The stump Of pipe he held tight 10 his teeth
And the smoke It enclrCled his head like q wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he, laughed like bowl full OF

ROBERTSvILLE, Dec. 22-According to
previous arrangement for lecture and
church dedication at Paris, situated about
8 miles south of this place, Rev. Z. p. Her
bruck arrived in due time on last Satur-
day evening, the 10Th, and was greeted
with full house eager to hear his lee
ture, "A Tour Through Germany" The
lecture is highly entertaining and the
audience was well pleased. Sabbath the
2Oth was a happy day for the Reformed
people at Paris. The event was the ded-
ication of their new church, which
brought out an immense throng of people
to behold the new ediflce and witness the
consecraiion services. The church is a
fine and commodious ediflce, and does
credit not only to the place but also to the
people who erected the same. The audi
torium is nicely furnished. An excellent
carpet that cost about $500 covers the floor
and pulpit rostrum.
1t is seated with So assembly chair, the
floor being suitably inclined. The win
dows are of beautifully stained glass. A
first class organ adorns the recess to the
| pulpit. A powerful sweet toned bell in
the tower signals the people at the ap-
| pointed time for service. The auditors
um is 4Ox46. The Sunday school room in
| the rear is 30x60 and the extreme length OF
the entire building including the tower i:
81 feet. The two rooms are connected
with q large sliding door. When the ser
vice began Sabbath morning there was Q
debt of nearly 81. 900 resting upon the con
| gregaIion. After Rev. E. p. Herbruck oi
Canton, preached, not only an appropri
ate, but delightful sermon, the pastor, Rev
A. Gonser, in fervent words presented the
claim to the people, and in an hours tim'
about 81, 800 was raised. This congrega
ton evidently has bright future befor,

Who Robbed Him.
Landlord David Byers went to the coun-
ty iail this morning and identified Graham
and NARROW, the men arrested at Massil-
lon rs the ones who held him up and
robbed him Sunday night. The men were
brought from their cells into the Jail hall
where Mr.. Byers, Prosecuting Attorney
Bow, Marshal Gentry and NEws'DEMo.
Graf representative received them. Mr.
Byers recognized both men as the guilty
ones and said that NARROW, the smaller
one, is the fellow that held the revolver
over him. There is clear case against
the prisoners and they will undoubtedly
be given free board for some time.

"Beduty toithotH grace
Is hook without bait" That's what
the French think. Whether il be true
or not, there are many American women
who do not even possess the hook-bcau-
ty and attractiveness are denied them.
Why? Because they're languid, cross
and irritable. They know not what
IL is to be without pain or discomfort
half the time.
That's it; suffer in silence--m misun-
derstood-when there's n remedy-Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription-at hand
that isn't an experiment, but which is
sold, by druggists, under the guarantee
that if you are disappointed in nny
way with it, you get your money back
by applying to its makers.
A signal service to weak womenkind
is the finding Of lost health-the build
ing up of n rundown system. Moth
ing does it so surely as the "Favorite
Prescription" None like it!

Olympic club, of this city, was to the
finish and for purse of $4,000, $500 to
go to the loser. The appointments Of
the ring were the most perfect ever
seen. The 1000 spectators present were
composed of the best element Of the
city.
Myers seconds in the fight were Eddie
Myer, Link Pope and John Eckert;
those behind Carroll We're Bob Fitzsim-

Gibbons. The Myer people said before
the fight they would leave for home,
win or lose, in order to be in Sreator for
Christmas.
A Scientific Battle.
The fight up to the twenty-frst round
had been very even and one of the most
scientific ever witnessed in the Olympic
club arena. In the thirtieth Myer was
far the fresher man. From the thirty
fourth round TO the end of the fight
Myer did most of the work, using his
right with great effect Carroll was
hoored several times, but managed to
get TO his feet in time to escape being
counted out. In the forty.third round
the Little Cyclone from Streator found
the opening he had been looking for,
and with a swinging right handler land.

went down like log and remained un-
conscious for several minutes in spite of
the efforts Of his seconds to revive him.
Myer was greeted with a round of
cheers as he walked from the ring.
The club realized $50 900 on the af-
fair.
