Why do I now make this nomination OF
time and place? Answer-Because such
stupendous movement cannot be eXtempor-
izei It will take seven years to get ready
for such HI overt owering celebration, and
the work ought to begin speedily in churches,
in colleges, in legislatures, In congresses. III
parliaments, In all styles OF National assem-
blages, and we have no time to lose. 1t
would take three years to make programme
worthy OF such coming together.
Why do I'take 1t upon myself to make such
a nomination. OF time and place? Answer
Because it 80 happened that in the mystert-
GUS providence OF God, born IN farmhouse
and OF no royal or princely descent, the doors
OF communication are open to me every week
by the secular and religious printing presses
and have been open to me every week FOR
many wears. with all the cities and towns and
neghbothoods Of Christendom, and indeed
in lands outside OF Christendom, where
printing presses have been established, and
feel that if there is anything worthy in this
proposition it will be needed and adopted.
On the other hand. il it he too sanguine. or
too hopeful. or too impractical. am sure 1t
will DO 40 harm that have expressed my
wish for such al international jubilee, cele-
brative Of the birth OF our Emmanuel.
Ny friends. such birthday celebration at
the close Of one century and reaching into
now century would be something in which
heaven and earth could join. 1t would not
only be international. but interplanetary,
inteEstellar, interconstellation. If you re-
member what occurred ON the first Christ
mas night. you know that it was not joy
confined to our world. The choir above
Bethlehem was imported from another
world. and when the star left its usual
sphere to designate the birthplace all
astronomy felt the thrill. II there be any
thing true shout our religion, 1t is that other
worlds are sympathetic with this world and
In communication with it. The glorified OF
heaven would Join In such q celebration.

The supper given by the ladies of the
M. z. church on last Thursday evening
was quite well attended. AS a result SCI
was added to the ministerial fund. 1t
is but due to our people, who are ogen,
erous in responding to calls of this kind,
10 say that they are entitled to more
suitable place for such purposes. We
can hardly expect our young people Cor
old ones either for that matter) to feel
that they have been agreeably enter
tanned without they have been made
comfortable, hence we urge in the alb
sence of anything better, that if we are
to give any more suppers let us give
them at our homes and to such num-
bers as we can properly care for.
CHRISTMAS BELLS. ~
The Christmas festivities at the
schoolhouse Monday evening (if num-
bers in attendance bespeak anything)
was an overwhelming success. This
was another instance of the proverb-
that it is always the unexpected that
happens. 1t was only the little ones of
the neighbors that was expected. They
came and with them their parents and
all their friends within radius of from
five to eight miles. We were glad to
find out that there was some people yet
in this country. The tree was decorated
with oranges, popcorn balls and other
wise made to look beautiful with the
many presents that friendship bestows
one to another and thus life is made the
more joyous upon our Christmas day.
E. ID. Wheeler conducted the opening
exercises, Our singers furnished some
excellent music, being ably assisted by
Mrs. Perry Roberts, of Horace, Kansas,
as organist. The pieces recited by Miss
Blanche Mapes and Miss Clara McCol-
lum received many deserved compli
ments. Owing to the crowded house,
want of time and material with which
to prepare in, the tableaux Tin part)
were not made as affective as they might
have been, yet did great deal of credit
to those originating them. After clos
ing song the audience retired feeling
well paid for having come.
The exercises were enlivened by the
reading of ''Scrooge and Marley" with
facial accompaniments by Hudson Har-
Ian. KETCHUM.

One SIDED.-Citizens complain that
the interviews against reducing city ex-
penses published in other papers do
not do the subject justice and are all on
the side interested in maintaining an
expensive city vernment. Probably
more interviews could be had on the
other side If 1t were thought necessary
to get them, Those interviews, how
ever, will have no influence whatever
in deterring the council from carrying
out it's proposed reduction of expenses.
The position of THE JOURNAL has
been that reduction was necessity.
How the cut shall be made best must
be left to the members of the council.

when you talk about strong men,

was in the jobbing business that
there lived in Lewiston a woman who
could beat all the strong men from
Samson to Cyr.
'She was in the old grocery store
on the corner one day when the pro-
prietor pointed to a couple Of flour
barrels, saying, Mary, if you'll carry
them home I'll give them to you.
Sanborn, who was a truckman 80
years and who sold out to James Cole,
was there and offered to bet that she
couldn't carry one.

said, and I'll take them both
-Four men lifted the barrels up
and she went up to them full of con-
fidence, and resting the bottom of
one on her right hip, circled the bar
rel with one of her long arms and
then swung around so as to grasp the
other in the same way, and as l live
she carried them out and along the
street to place 300 yards down the
road, where one of them fell and up
set her balance. You see, she rested
them on her hips and didn't try to
lift them by her back. The grocer

A Lesson In Grammar.

Fun frequently comes out of the
public schools, despite their functions
as solid, solemn educators. But this
is only natural. There must be fun and
smiles where there are bright faces
and youth and health. Not long ago
teacher in this city was drilling her
pupils in the application of certain
words In relation to other words.
She had the youngsters much inter
ested in building sentences around a
given expression. One of the words
presented was ''use." Several chill
dren had made a sentence containing
the word, when the teacher called
upon particularly bright young ras-
cal to make response. The youth
did not like another member of the
class, and it suddenly dawned upon
his young brain that it would be a
good idea to apply his sentence ac-
cordingly. He faced his disliked
companion, and pointing his finger
at him scornfully said:
"You's is no good.
OF course the teacher laughed. The
other children laughed, and the boy
laughed, too. but it took two days for
him to learn that the slang cc1trac-
ton, ''you's," was not the word de-
sired.-St. Louis Republic.
