calamities Which Have Invaded Paris.

Paris has undergone atroclous SUI
ferings through war, famine, pestii'
ence. and calamities of all kinds. The
Normsns, after burning one-haii OF
Paris, allowed the remainder to be
ransomed with an enormous sum OF
money. In one of the tamlnes by
which Paris in its early days WAS SC
often visited people cast lots ms to
which should be eaten. The taxes
we're SO excessive that many pretended
to be lepers in order to profit by the
exemption accorded in such cases.
But il was sometimes not well to be
leper. real or pretended; for 1t was
proclaimed one day to the sound OF
the horn and trumpet that leper'
throughout the kingdom should be ex'
terminated. "In consequence of a
mixture of herbs and human blood

Penrsall, who seemed to consider
himself elected chairman of the
meeting by the silent suffrage OF the
eve, deemed this a fitting time to
speak.
Rising, he waved his hand toward
his companions like Snowman ex-
hibiting a collection of curious ami

spoke with some depression, as though
the goods, on the whole, did not look
as good as he had expected.

Some year ago all well-conducted

The company rose with solemn
alacrity, shook their hostess hand
and filed out.
"Wen, remarked Hank Pearsall
cheerfully, you'll hey t let mp talkin'
bout Nort's luck after this; [ reckon

'T don't know" said the store
keeper, with that acrid cynicism which

prived him of his reward. Soproverbial
didt he excellence of his deserts and the
poorness of his luck become that some
cowboy philosopher finally accounted
for it in this way:
'It amt in what Mort Willis does,
said the oracle; "lt Jest hain't down
on the cards fer i'm t. win. Ye see
the books say thet it's the early bird
t gifts TIL first worm but in thet game
two can't win, an l take it he's the
early worm"
This explanation appealed to the
whimsical side of cowboy nature, and
as that side is well developed, the name
and reputation stuck to Mort even
after he had, by strength and perse-
verance, wrenched few crumbs of
success from the clenched hand Of
Fate.
He was managing the Half Moon
ranch, to get capital to stock one Of his
own, when the niece of his next neigh
Dor on the south, Floyd PendletoD, at
the Bar 6, came out to visit her
uncle.
Miss Eula Pendleton had the unique
and as she found later rather un
comfortable position of the only girl
in Harter County.
Its ten eligible bachelors were sigh
ing for her before she crossed the
State line. As none of the enterprising
swains saw any individual profit in
standing back to see the others make
the running, the Pendleton parlor of
an evening soon came to look like
Jury room with an obstinately hung
iury-Miss Eula serving as the sheriff,
who, apparently, held the recalcitrants
in durance vile.
When the young woman was pleased
to attend a roundup, or to ride to any
gathering, she never went with less
than a corporal's guard; crowd more
like a sherffs posse usually sur
rounded he, while there, and accom-
panied her home.
Such being the state of things, it is
no wonder that the report that the
Early Worm, otherwise Mort Willis,
had been seen all alone, except for the
presence OF the two ponies and a
steer, at the south of the Bar 6 corral
giving Miss Eula lessons in roping,
awakened scornful mirth.
''That's just it." said the store
keeper at Prairie City. who was bald,
fat and fifty, and hadn't roped a
steer for ten years, but who was one
of Miss Pendleton's most devoted and
obtuse suitors. "That's just Mort
Willisl Runnin' over there because
he lives near and tryin' to keep the
Young lady all to himself. Posters
her to death, of course, and hasn't
sense enough to take a friend or two
along to take the cuss off the situa-

about Mort Willis luck but / tell
you there's more in his lack of com
mon, ordinary horse sense than there
is in his luck. Lookat i'm now, fxin'
to git left ag'iD by settin' up to court
a girl that hez her pick Of Harter
County, a girl that can have the pick
an choice of men of means, with
ranches an'-an' stores, an sich. >"
As no more of these lessons we're
heard Of, after the first, and as Mort
never presented himself in the Pen
dleton parlor of evenings when the
solemn gatherings were held n0E

chrIstmas at the Churohes.

The day before Christmas was a busy
and hustling time. People were hurry
ing and skurrying, hither and thither
with bundles and packages tucked
away under the arms and in the pock-
cts, and the children were all on tip
toe with joyous anticipations of the
merriments they were to witness at the
churches that evening. At the Disciple
church willing hands trimmed the in
terror with evergreen boughs and hung
the large tree which had been placed
to the front on one side, with the loads
and loads of presents and pretty gifts
which had been brought, not only for
the children, but for the older ones
also. The church was filled to the
doors by the time the exercises were to
begin, and an excellent program was
given, not too long for the waiting
children, consisting of vocal and violin
music, solos, choruses and recitations,
at the close of which merry bells were
heard outside and in marched Santa
Claus, greeted with many shouts. Then
the merry children's hearts were glad
dened by numerous gifts and all them
were given bag of candy and went
home wishing Christmas might come
oftener.
At the Brick chapel the children
were also greeted with the tree which
| is so delightful to their eyes. A fine
program had also been carefully pre-
pared and the distribution of the pres
ents occupied the remainder of the
evening and the children of this Sun.
day school were made glad and happy
with Santa Claus greetings.
At the NJ. =. church novel arrange
ment was gotten up instead OF the
usual tree. A large wheel was made
to represent Ferris wheel, the hub
and spokes of which were beautifully
trimmed with colored paper and hung
with gifts. At the end Of the spokes
were large baskets hung with colOred
netting and each filled to the brim
with Christmas gifts. The sight was a
pretty one and was a credit to some
ones ingenious mind. The program
was good and listened to eagerly by
all. At the end Of the exercises the
presents were distributed. There was
hardly standing room in this church.
No christmas eve exercises were held
in the NJ. +. church but the entertain
ment given on Christmas night by the
Junior League and young lady friends,
for the benefit of the needy was a great
success, in attendance, in excellence of
program presented and in the amount
contributed. Did space permit we
would be glad to mention some special
features, but it can be said that as
whole nothing has been given in our
village for some time which gave more
general satisfaction, rejecting much
credit on those who conceived the
happy plan of contributing an evenings
pleasure at nominal cost and at the
same time helping those in need.
Aside from provisions contributed, a
nice sum of money was given which
will be used to procure medicines and
necessaries for special cases.

that is by patronizing the merchants

In whatever business they may be en-

would feel annoyed were this office
to cease sending it to them, but they
don't think of paying for the paper
when payment is due. The expense
of running paper like the ExPosIToR
runs oyer S25 week, and the en-
ployes must be paid weekly and the
of the concern must be paid for. For
this reason we expect every subscriber,
who is inadvertently in arrear, to pay all
arrearages on or before the 18th of JAN

time or otherwise would not request
you to be so prompt. A few dollars
