Carpets For saIe-The Obliging Abba.


One day strangers came to the house
of hospitable Abba They were kindly
received, seated at a sumptuous table,
and the softest carpets were spread out
for them to sleep on. However, before
the morning dawned they rose noise
lessly, rolled up the carpets and carried
them off. In the course of the day Abba
went out and beheld in the market place
his guests of last night, each with par
eel under his arm. AS soon as they saw
him they came up to him, apologized
for having been obliged by pressing
business to leave his house before he
was up and asked him if he could not
offer them an acceptable price for the
Garpets they had for sale. Abba looked
1t the goods and offered for them GER
lain sum. "1hat is too little, said the
strangers. Excuse me-, said Abba,
lit is the exact amount they have cost
me. " - From Talmud, in Menorah
Monthly.

Our Christmas Celebration.

Our Christmas Celebration.
Christmas was celebrated with
more good will and more money
was spent in the distribution of
presents this season than for many
years past. There were Christmas
trees at the M. E. church, Episco-
pal church, Jersey House and Pal
ace hotel, besides private trees ga
lore. The trees were exquisitely
decorated and the presents were
both numerous and costly. The
church buildings were thronged to
witness the distribution. At the
Jersey House and Palace hotel
trees had been provided for the
little ones by the families sojourn-
ing there, and here again good
will and the evidences of highly
artistic good taste prevailed in the
decorations and nature of the
presents.
The dance given by the Masonic
fraternity on Christmas night was
very largely attended and proved
to be the best social party we have
had in these parts for a long time
past. Prof A. D. Green, of Cot
tonwood, assisted by III. V. Riggs
furnished the music; and whatever
the cause may be it is certain that
the minds of our pleasure-loving
people are more given to merry
making than formerly, and the re-
suit was party full of life and ac-
tivity and mirth. A large delega-
tion from Cottonwood attended
the ball.
