News Matters aud Personal Notes at
That Place.
POMONA, Sept. 29.-There were several
disappointed persons on yesterday after
noon late, as those who had purchased
their tickets with the intention OF leav-
ing via the Santa Fe route were inform
ed by our local agent, Mr.. Fl. II. Vim
cent, that he had received telegraphic
information that the overlands on his
road could not run through ON account
OF temporary washouts on the desert,
from cloudbursts or heavy rains, This
was much more thoughtful on the part
of the management of the road than to
have permitted them to start and then
be blockaded for several hours on the
lonely, desolate desert.

Wartime SniTplussers Just Redeemed,
During war times the municipality of
Albany Issued on its own credit fraction
al currency redeemable on demand at the
city treasurer's or chamberlain's Office.
Most Of the fiat money was redeemed
within the five years subsequent to the
end Of the war, and during the seventies
the chamberlain would becalled upon to
change few coins. 1t was believed that
all had been taken up.
Yesterday, however, Chamberlain Hills
was visited by two young ladies who
showed him d quantity Of the currency
issued in 1852 and asked him what it was
worth. To the chamberlain's questions
as to how it had come into their posses
sion the elder replied that in looking
over the effects of relative lately de-
ceased it was found stored away in an
old box along with many war curios
Mr.. Hills promptly handed over the
counter in good bills the face value of
the money, between $25 and $50.
A singular coincidence connected with
the transaction was that Chamberlain
Hills himself paid out the currency re-
deemed yesterday to the original owner
over 80 years ago.-Albany journal.

How tho Hardy Mountaineers Observe the

 As in a majority of the continental nations of Europe the people of Switzer- land celebrate New Years rather than Christmas in social way. The birth day Of the Saviour is given over to religious observances by she older peo- pie. In the churches masses are said and the usual midnight service ushers in the great day. For the little ones Christmas is a season for rejoicing. The French, German and Italian speak ing Swiss have all borrowed from the Germans the idea of the Christmas tree. It is lit up on Christmas eve and freighted with toys and sweets for the toddlers. But the older youths and maidens are overlooked and Christmas is strictly children's day. On New Years the gift-maling is in order and general hilarity is the order of the day. The schools are closed for a brief period ard the families of Switzerland gather together about their firesidea- A great dinner, to which the friends having no homes of their own to go to are invited, is the feature of the occn- sion.
 Here in the western metropolis the Swiss follow the American custom and make their presents on Christmas day and generally observe it as the princi- pal holiday of the year. On New Years they simply pay visits and give expression to their friendship and good will.-San Francisco Chronicle.

How to Make the Holiday Just What It
 Ought to Be.
 Merry Christmas, friend! I do not mean especially that you shall have merry Christmas as much as that you shall make it merry, by giving some one who is out of the sunshine and in the shadow generous slice of Christ mas cheer. Then your food will have something in it's flavor it never had be- foreAa rich, full cup of sunshine to warm the cookies of your heart
 To begin with, you must believe in the Christmas Child that founded Christmas If you find this hard to do, make believe as hard as you ever can and special dispensation of belief will be measured out to you. And you must believe in Santa Claus, reindeer, roof-tree, chimney and all. If you have brought up your children on the prac- tical plan and told the poor things : that they needn't hang their stockings in the chimney corner, because there won { be any Santa Claus, am sorry for you. Just throw away that potato you carry in your pocket to keep off rheumatism-it is a much greater and more foolish superstition than Santa Claus. And that brings me to story which will write for the sake of illus tration:
 Farmer Blank didn't believe in Christmas nonsense in his house wasn't going to let his boys spend cent for any such foolishness, not he!
 But he did love those dear, chubby little twins that made the sunshine of his house, only he loved his own big oted opinions more.
 He had gone to the city few nights before Christmas and his wife had asked him to buy some toys for the twins, and a few picture books and some oranges and candy to put in their stockings. But when he turned his horses heads honeward that night he Ahad none of those things-he wasn't going to spoil his boys.
 Itwas not late, but dark, when Farmer Blank drove into his yard and saw bright light in the barn. Tim, the hired man" thought MT. Blank.
 But no. He looked through the win dow and this is what he saw:
 one of the twins was representing the babe in the manager. He was lying in the hay, dressed in a white night gown, his lovely eyes closed, his dear little hands clasped, and candles burning beside him, their flame within easy reach of the tons of hay that pressed down from above.
 The other twin was praying: <sPlease, God, make papa believe in Santa Claus, so he will come here Christmas like he does at other little boys houses Amen"
 The twins were lawfully frightened when their father dashed into the barn, caught them up in his arms and carried them straight into the house before he returned to put out those in cendiary candles.
 The next day Farmer Blank went to town again, and he must have seen Santa Claus and made it all right with him, for the stockings were filled to overfowing on Christmas morning.
 And the twins were not happier than the big foolish man who followed them about with tears, in his eyes, and thanked God for the children, without whom it would have been sorry Christmas Detroit Free Press.
