Affairs About Town. 4 MESSAGE TO SANTA CLAUS.

The following letter, addressed to San- ta Claus, was received at the Newtown post office:
 Dear santa Claus:-I want a pair of rubber boots and a pair of slippers to go in them. A etoIe u Sn, Sl,n aalo L some candy and doIls halr, harnessed 10 a wagon, for little brother.
 Santa Claus, with headquarters at the North Pole, is supposed to have penned the following reply:

and also proprietor of the Ellsworth bus mess college. Not being satisfied with knowledge already gained he went to Bos- ton and attended the State Normal art school, and later graduated at the New England Conservatory of Fine Arts of the same city. But the work where MT Lamson is best known in this section is his work done in the public schools. He served five years at Lynn, Mass, as spe- cial instructor of industrial drawing and penmanship, and was then called to Bridgeport and served the same length of time in the same capacity for Bridgeport public schools. His face is familiar to nearly every boy and girl in the Park City. Three years ago last September Mir Lamson was stricken with spinal disease which has made him an almost confirmed invalid, although with a won. derful display of pluck he still attends to his business most of the time.

A Story About Tin Foil,

Some years ago tobacconist discov-
cred the utility of tin foil for wrapping
chewing tobaccos. Heretofore paper
had been exclusively used for the pur-
pose, but it did not serve to keep the
moisture Of the atmosphere away from
the tobacco nor preserve the natural
moisture of the tobacco from the effects
Of dry or hested atmosphere. Paper
Rlso absorbed the aroma Of the weed and
was not sufficiently lasting. Therefore
tin foil was used for wrappers. But it
became costly and could only be rolled
to certain thickness or thinness be-
yond which the ingenuity of man seemed
to find it impossible to go. The fact was
that no rollers could be made to sustain
the pressure necessary to mashing the
tin foil to leaf sufficiently thin to suit
the manufacturer.
Many ingenious inventors struggled
with the proposition for months and
gave up the problem as unsolvable,
when simple workman about the shop
one day, after rolling two sheets to the
customary thinness, put.the two sheets
together into the rollers and made both
halves as thin as one was before. This
was as simple as standing an egg on end,
but it created revolution in the manu-
facture of tin foil for tobacconists' use
and made mint of money for the boss
of the discoverer. The man had struck
upon the idea by accident, but the dis
covery was as great and as profitable as
if he had been great inventor and
spent years of his valuable life over the
question. Boston Herald.

An Odd Love Letter.

A lady has written the life of the Arch
duke Carl Salvador, the brother of the
Grand Duke Of Tuscany, who died sud-
denly about year ago. A letter now
published, sent by the king Of Naples
sister, Maria immaculate, to the arch
duke, then 20 years old, who had hon
ored her with an offer of marriage, is
worth reading. The princess, who was
10, and became the archduke's wife two
years later. wrote: my Dear Cousin
Your honored letter gave me all the
more joy because l see from it that you
have for long time entertained the
idea Of marrying me. ! hope that God
and the Holy Virgin will give me grace,
that / may satisfy you in everything;
that may make you happy all your life
long and be devoted, obedient and re-
spectful to your parents. I ask them to
receive me as their daughter. I thank

A Church Usher's Humor.

Even a church usher can show keen
sense of humor in the pursuit of his du-
ties. Not long ago prominent young
business man of Rochester promised his
little daughter that she might have q
party ON her birthday. The birthday
happened to come on the Sunday before
Easter, and the little girl came up to her
father the day before to remind him Of
his promise. Her father told her that Of
course he could not let her have party
on Sunday, but that he would take her
to church instead. AS the father him
self was little given to church going,
and the daughter had never been but
once, the idea struck her as absolutely
unique and absolutely delightful, SO she
accepted the alternative eagerly-much
to her fathers regret.
They went down to church together in
the morning-Mr. Robinson and little
May-and by dint of careful examining
of charts Mr.. R. located his pew. He
had hardly seated himself when up came
an usher with humorous twinkle in his
eye and wonder in his countenance at
the unexpected appearance Of Mr.. R. at
church. Him did the usher make straight
for, and leaning over he whispered in a
loud stage whisper:
II beg your pardon Mr.. Robinson, but
haven't you made a mistaken Next Sun

Turkish army. Il found Arab tall,
well set up, grave faced and eminently
soldierly man." says Mr.. Scott. He is
only 81 years Of age, but he looks 10 or
is years older. His hair and beard are
completely gray and rapidly turning to
white. His face wears an expression of
resignation and sadness, and his eyes are
dimmed and filmed with impending cat
aract. The form is not bowed or bent,
but still firm and erect, and it did not re-
quire two glances to see that he was 9
man of strong determination. / could
not help smiling as he took out his watch
