Christmas at the Con gregational
Church.

" ~ y d
/ Christmas Services at II e Congrega
tlonal Church were largely attended
both at morning service and at Sur.
day School. The pastor discoursed
upon the First Christmas Anthem J
from Luke 2:14, and in closing spoke
in part as follows, "Our Cuban war
still fingers, and the soil Of the far off
Isles IS crimsoned with Lawton s and
Logan s blood, and others Just as
brave and true. England pours forth
her trslned soldiery to be slaughtered
III the Transvaal, and as one saws.
The century has not shown a. darker
week in British military history.
,Groarls, tears, blood, death! How dis
sonant all with the anthem of peace,
and fixing Our minds for the moment
on this strife, and thinking that the
two great Christian nations are the
only ones at war today, and they in
tar off territory, does it not seem al
most splendid irony to sing Peace
on earth, good will 10 1ne,d But
this is superficial view. The deep,
ar thought is, we arefeally in anothsM
world from the 4oneainto whicIa4kg
:irst Christmas Carol was born sreat ia
progress has been made, The nations
through their wrestling nights of his
ory have seen the face Of God. 10
ne man Of open mind and open vision
There ever glimpses1 oil his sight,
Through is, presetlts eternal ,rlnht ID
And step by step, since time began,
He sees the steady gain OF man.
\ The anthem looks up; it's
rst strain swells to heaven; it glori- |
es God for the incarnation-the a
lightly and mysterious fact of human h
lstory. This is the divine order
cd first, then man. The soul first
ndles its life in God, then sings it's Fl
ace anthem to the world.
Our Christmas is true one only as
I'd is first. Is it not oft a mere Gift

ciated with dinners and cheap mirth . =

A Queer Ohio River Fish.

Not many persons know what a
spoonbll is, but all those who do know
that every spring this fish is the espe-
cial prey Of Shippingport fishermen
who catch them in great numbers be-
low the falls.
The spoonbill is probably the largest
fish that swims the Ohio river. He is
anywhere from foot long to six feet
but also half of him Is bill. The bill is
spoon shaped, but is a single one The
lower lip is short, the bill being used
much like q SPADE, The spoonbill has
no scales, Int is covered with a tough
hide, Alto: ther he is an nncanny OBJ
ject ard far from a delicacy in appear
ance. He is also called by some "shovel-
nose cat.
Every spring spoonbills in schools
visit the falls of the Ohio. 1t isa tradi-
tion that they come up all the way
from the gulf of Mexico every spring to
spawn at the falls, but more credit is
given the theory that they live scat
tered in the river right along and only
congregate in the spawning season. -

THEY ALL GOT IN.
How the animals Managed to Get
Admitted to the Show.

How the animals Managed to Get
Admitted to the Show.
1t appears that one idle day the frog,
the dnck, the lamb and the skunk started
forth together to visit the show. just
what sort Of show it was the chronicler
doesn / state. Anyway, it was some
thing that the queerly assorted quartet
was anxious to attend, and they hoped
and waddled and gamboled and trotted
toward the big canvas inclosure with
delightful thlobs Of anticipation.
Finally they reached the doortender,
the frog leading the line.
Well, the frog had greenback and
passed right in.
The duck had bill and followed the
frog
The lamb had four quarters and fol-
lowed the frog and the duck.
But the unfortunate skunk was left
on the outside He had only scent,
and that was bad Naturally he turned
away, feeling pretty blue. As he was
slowly going back over the hill he met
a hoop snake rolling along at a Lively
rate toward the show. The skunk greet
ed him, but the snake did not stop.
"Don't interrupt me, he cried over
his shoulder. "Ive got to do turn,
and I'm a little late, and he rolled
along.
At the top of the hill the skunk no.
ticed another old friend approaching. 1t
was the sardine.
"Hello,' cried the sardine "What's
the matter?"
So the skunk told him.
81 can guess how you feel about 1t, y
said the sardine sympathetically. ~
belong to the smelt family myself. But.
say, old fellow You come right back
and 90 in with me-I've got box.
And the skunk and the sardine went
back together. .-Clevelan Plain Dealer.

THE POOR SALESMAN.
One of the Ways He Is Tortured by
Exacting Shoppers.

On the shelves Of nearly every dry
which have been hauled off tha shelves
from one to dozen times day to be
exhibited to possibl purchasers. The
exacting shoppers have become firmly
convinced that such exhibitions of the
open ends of rolls cause them to become
khCpworn. The result is they ask the
clerk to cut their order from the inside
and. This means the unrolling of the
entire bolt for possible three-quarter
yard purchase, but it has to be done.
A fashonably dressed woman stepped
into one Of the Nicolet avenue stores
the other day and asked to be shown
some ginghams. On the shelves was a
brand new stock of ginghams which
had just the night before been taken
from the boxes in which they were
shipped from the factory. They hadn t
been shown to any one except possibly
the buyers down east and then these
particular pieces had not been exhibit
ed. Bolt after bolt was shown to the
shopper, and finally she picked upon
particularly nice new piece OF pink
gingham at 90 cents a yard.
at looks little shopworn, she re-
marked as she began to tumble with
her purse catch.
at can't be, " replied the obliging
clerk 'It just last night came out of
the lox from which it came from the
factory"
"W ell, I'd prefer 1t If you would cut
it from the other end. 4"
The clerk groaned inwardly, but pro-
ceeded to unroll the 80 or 40 yards of
ginghan.
"How much ?" he asked as he took
his scissors from his vest pocket.
"Two yards. -
His scissors snapped viciously as they
clipped off the goods and the tone in
which he called the cashboy was not of
the gentlest, but the shopper, at least,
was satisfied. Minneapolis Journal.

he could take the warts away with him

and he took me off to quiet spot under
willow tree, flom which he cut a
number Of small branches, and these he
cut again into little bits of an inch in
length making a notch in each one,
and this notch he set down over each
wart having at last a collection Of 4G
or more of these little notched sticks.
These he put into his pocket, saying
that thu warts would go away.

prophecy was fulfilled, but within six

To be honest; TO be kind; to earn Il

his presence; to renounce, when that
shall be necessary, and not be imbitter-

without capitulation above all, on the

with himself here is a task for all that
a man has of fortitude and delicacy. -
