Christmas is the most notable day
in the worlds history Every event,
every birth and death and the rising Of
every sun is dated Ammo Domini-the
year of our Lord. Every letter head
and the date Of every issue of every
newspaper in all Christendom proves
the Il, nth Of the birth of Christ 1893
years ago. 1898! There is solemn
meaning in those fgures-a meaning
that all the business world acknowl-
edges, for it governs courts and com
merce, and both Jew and Gentle con
form to it, whether it be their faith or
not. 1t is an argument, an evidence
of the truth Of Christianity that
strengthens with every year that comes.
If / was an inidel or an agnostic 7
wouldn't date my letters 1898. Iwould
date them from some other great mans
birth-Julius Caesar or Cromwell or
Napoleon or the declaration of indie
peDdence.
Now is fitting time for every man
and woman to stop and think and take
account of stock like the merchants
do once q year. Let us all foot up
the good we have done and the bad, if
any, during the year that has gone
the pleasure and the pain we have
given to others, the blessings we have
had from a kind Providence. The
passing of whole year is a serious
reflection. Even a day concerns us,
for it will never return. It is gone
forever, and we should be careful how
we spend it. The poet says:
Count that day lost if the descending sun
Sees from thy hand no generous action
done.
Alas! how many days have we lost!
Now, let us all do all the good we can
during these Christmas holidays. Let
us make every member of the family
happy and as many outside as we can. It
IS miserable prayer to say. "Lord
bless me and my wife, my son John
and his wife--us four and no more.
But rather let US say with the sweet
poetess:
oh, Lord, be pitiful this day,
Let none unchristianized 20,
Let not the poor for help in vain i'm olore.
Let none from any door,
Unwarmed, unfed,

GREATEST BELLE IN MACHIAS

Pretty Polly Mcintosh and Her Many
Accomplishments.
The most accomplished parrot in
this part of the world is owned by
Henry Mcintosh, Of Machias, Me-, who
wouldn't swap her for trotting horse.
Poll is a blue-headed Amazon parrot,
and was captured 1000 miles up the
broad South American river two years
ago last fall by George Woodruff, a
sailor, who brought her home to live
in Maine. Poll is beauty. She has
a blue hood and other garments OF
golden brown, green and scarlet; but
it is not her beauty, which Is only
feather deep, that is her chief charm.
She is more knowing than terrier
dog and is extremely polite, and fur
thermore, she has a great ear for mu-
sic. Miss Julia Flannery, who lives
next door to the McIntoshes, has
taught Poll to sing and often now,
with an admiring audience of friends
and neighbors, the bird will sing a
popular concert, the like of which can
not be heard in any theater. The 9TH

Cross, Where / First Saw the Light"

gospel hymns, accompanying Miss

songs, without request or prompting

When asked to kiss visitors, Poll will
put her -beak close against their faces
and give genuine smack. When WIS.,
itors are ready to depart, she will say
without prompting, We'll, good day
come again some time" Sometimes
she Is little balky, and, like many
a human singer, has to be coaxed and
flattered before she will sing, Offering
excuses such as bad cold" Polly is

Overdresscd or dowdy, she prod duces the

Nevertheless, dress is dear 10 the soul
of an Australian, and much is s1cri
upon it. Down in the lowest eoc.a.
grades dress plays 4 most imporiar!
part. The Australian hugs the idea OF
equality, and believing in uniform:t'.

A TRAVELLING CAT
The Queer Conduct of q New jersey
Feline.

-
Feline.
Tramp cats are common articles, but
a cat that steals rides in freight cars is
i little out of this line. Such a cat is the
property of Operator Percy Vankirk,
who works for the Pennsylvania rail-
road at Manunka Chunk, n. j., the
junction point of the Pennsylvania road
and the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern railroad. Early in the summer
when car of freight from Kensington,
Pa, was opened at Manunka Chunk out
jumped yellow cat, which made its
home with the operator from that time
The operator named the cat Yellow
Kid. 1t became the pet of all the train
men and employees around the station.
Since that time Yellow Kid has made
several short trips on the Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western, and has been
located and returned to his home with
out injury each trip. Not long ago he
again disappeared after the afternoon
freight had left and as he could not be
found agents at all stations where cars
were sent were notified to be ON the
lookout for the Kid. Three days after
word was received that he was visiting
the boys in the Trenton freight house,
he having arrived that afternoon, after
making 75-mile trip, and being on the
road nearly two days. He was returned
to his owner the next evening. Van
Kirk is now having a tag made to be
worn by the cat so as to insure his safe
return when the "curse of the wander
ing foot" seizes him.

1. All subscribers who do not
give express notice to the contrary
are considered wishing to continue
their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodical the pub
Usher may continue to send it until
all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals. from the
Office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have set
tied their bills and ordered them dis.
continued.
4. Subscribers moving to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they ares held re-
sponsihle.
B. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
Office or removing and leaving them
uncaIed for, is prima facie evidence
of intended fraud.
g. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to
continue taking it, and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express
notice with all arrearages are sent to
the publisher.
Z. The latest postal laws are such
tlIat newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who take a paper
and refuses to pay for it.
Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along some
time unpaid, and then orders the
postmaster to mark it refused" and
have postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar
rest and fine, the same as for theft.
