FATHER CHRISTMAS,
A Suggestion to the Boys For Christ
mas Celebrations.

mas Celebrations
Why couldn't our boys get up some
holiday plays similar to the immemo-
rial "Father Christmas play, in which
the lads of Merrie England have so
much fun? The origin Of this play is
lost in antiquity, but it deals with
knights and their adventures, certain
of which challenge and fight the fol-
lowers of Father Christmas, and are in
turn routed till Father Christmas and
the Black Knight cope in mortal COM
bat, the latter, of course, being worstad.
The boys are dressed in fantastic
style, with tall paper caps on and pa
per fringe around their jackets, wear.
ing masks to conceal their identity.
They are called the "mummers, and
go from house to house of their friends,
invariably receiving a kind welcome
and little treat at the end of the per-
Torrance. They also take up penny
collection, and everybody has penny
for the mulnmers who afford SO much
amusement.
In our early history there is album
dant scope for the youthful playwrights,
and the object of their performances in
holiday week might be some charity in
which boys are the beneticiaries, such
as treat of goodies to dozen news
boys or bootblacks, TO get supplies for
sick boy or the like.
The Indian in our early history is as
good as the knight element for stir

blankets, on the one side, and on the
other the prim Puritans in broad

band of cavaliers to make it lively.
The boys OF Boston Common and the
red coated Britishers was all eE isolde to
inspire their Fraternity of today, and it
would be- great tu.l Ior our laddies in
Christmas week to dress up and illus
trate the va!or of their ancestors, as
their English cousins annually COM

Christmas Table Decoration.

Avery pretty decoration for the table
at the Christmas dinner is tiny Christ
mas tree Candied fruits and gilded
and silvered walnuts make it bright
and seasonable, while little frosting
with the powder that comes for the pur-
pose makes it beautiful object under
the glitter of the lights. The tree will
be trimmed and prepared for you by
any florist and should be planted in &
fancy low vase or dish The picturesque
dwarf evergreens that come from Japan
are most effective when used in this
way, and yet they are such costly treas
ures that few who own them are will

CHRISTMAS IN THE ARMY.
How the Soldier Boys Celebrated
During the Sixties.

How the Soldier Boys Celebrated
During the Sixties.
The Army of the Potomac, under
General George B. Mcclellan, was
camped about Washington from August,
1861, to March, 1862, and most of it in
Virginia as far down the Potomac as
Alexandria, as far up as Chain bridge
and as far out toward General Beaure-
gard and his tenacious Americans as
Munson's hill. Early in December word
came to the soldiers that railroad and
express companies would carry free
packages intended for Christmas pres
ents and dinners for the soldiers.
That year there was Christmas din
ner for every mess. From the rich
homes of the large cities had come the
best in the market. From tens of thou
sands of farms had come the daintiest
dishes that mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters and sweethearts could pre-
pare
On Christmas, 1868, the army was
shivering along the rivers Rappahan-
mock and Rapidan, and as far out as Cul-
pepper Court House. 1t was too cold, and
the men were too poorly housed to en-
joy the day. 1t was not holiday to
many-a day of misery, instead. That
was the coolest Christmas the south
had seen for 80 years. and it has not
seen one like it since.
Christmas dinners were the order of
the day in 1864. The army was strung
along behind Notifications from Rich
mond to below Yellow House, on the
Weldon railroad, distance of nearly
40 miles. The sanitary and Christian
commissions had arranged to supply the
army with a Christmas dinner Few
men were overlooked Except that in
1861, it was the happiest Christmas for
the Union army since the trouble began.
There were many signs that the next
Christmas would he enjoyed at home,
and so it was by all who escaped the
hot times from March 20 to the evening
of April 8, after fAant and Lee met at
Appomattox.- Milwaukee, Sentinel.

Two Pointed Questions ADsworad.


What is the use of making better ar
ticle than your competitor II you can not
get better price for it?
Ans.--As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
so that while our profits may be smaller
on single sale they will be much greater
in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to be
tried, and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one. This explains the large sale
on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
people have been using 1t for years and
have found that 1t can always be depend
ed upon. They may occasionally take up
with some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are certain
to return to the one remedy that they
know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds
and Group there is nothing equal to Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy.

HORSES ACTIONS IN BATTLE

Some Keep Their Heads In the Mad Rush.
some Lose Them.
A man seldom cries out when hit in
the turmoil uf battle, 1t is the same
with horse. Five troopers out of six,
when struck by bullet, are out of their
saddles within a minute If hit in the
breast or shoulder, mp go their hands
and they get heavy fall; if in the leg
or foot or arm, they tall forward and
roll off But even with o foot cut off
by a jagged piece of shell horse will
not drop. 1t is only when shot through
the head or heart that he comes down
He may be fatally wounded but he
hobbies out of the fight to right or left
and stands with dropping head until
loss of blood brings him down. The
horse that loses his rider and is un-
wounded himself will continue to run
with his set of tours until some move
ment throws him out. Then he goes
galloping here and there, neighing with
fear and alarm, but will not leave the
field, In his racing about he may get
among the dead and wounded, but he
will dodge them, if possible, and in
any case leap over them When he has
come upon three or four other riderless
steeds, they fall II" and keep together,
as if for mutual protection, and the
rally on the bugle may bring the
whole of them into the ranks in a body
A horse which has passed through
battle unwounded is fretful, sulky and
pervous--the same as man--for the
next three or four days. His first battle
is also the making or unmaking of him
as warhorse. If the nervous tension
has been too great, he will become a
bolter in the face of danger, and there
by become danger in himself If the
test has not been beyond him, he will
go into the next fight with head held
high and 8ecks of foam blowing from
his mouth as he thunders over the
earth. WASHINGTON Post.

Bismarck'g Ancestors,

It is stated that the Bismarcks first
made their appearance in Brandenburg
as cloth merchants. In 1870 or there
about it is believed that one Claus Bis
marok advanced sum of money to the
Margrave Ludwig, which was secured
upon the customs of his native town.
The citizens, however, rebelling against
this arrangement, the margrave assign
ed to Claus bismarck the fief Of Burg
stall, and it was in this manner that the
nobility of the family began. In the
middle of the sixteenth century the Bis
marcks came under the sway of the
Hohenzollerns, to whom they have ever
remained faithful vassals.-London
