s. S. s. FOR THE BLOOD
He Worked the Grocer

A true story of a dog found guilty
of obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses has been recently told. The
animal is very fond of crackers. and
has been taught by his owner to go
after them himself, carrying a written
order in his mouth. Day after day he
appeared at the grocer's, bringing his
masters orders for crackers until the
clerks became careless about reading
the document. One day the man came
in and complained that he had been
charged for much more crackers than
he had ordered. There was quite a
dispute over it, and the next time the
dog came in the grocer took the trouble
to look at the paper. 1t was blank;
and further investigation showed that
whenever the dog felt a craving for
crackers he hunted up piece of paper
and trotted off to the grocery store

sun gradually encircles our globe, so
will the Christmas carol welcome
His rising, and as his rays allie gid
the palace and the hut. so will the
sweet influences of Christmas steal
into the thoughts and hearts of men
Of every station. This is the only
Joy which is cosmopolitan. Each
nationality celebrates its own peculiar
heroes. dclivcranccs and achieve

homage to the feet of a babe. and
king and peasant, sage and clown,
conqucror and conquered, the noble

clasp hands over the cradle memories

not for one day only, but for all days

Christmas the London Ctristiom Lite

Hoboken Commissioners of

The old Finance Committee of the Ho-

evening and a new one was appointed by
President Offerman. The proceedings
which led up to this action were the live
liest that ever characterized meeting OF
the Board. Personalities were INDUCED in
freely and at times it looked as If certain
members of the Board would come to
blows. The meeting finally adjourned in
disorder, the abolition of the Finance Com
mittee being the only thing of importance
lone in three hours.
The cause of the trouble was the re-
iteration by Commissioner Bell Of his oft
repeated charges of extravaganza In the
Board. He was rounced upon by the
other Commissioners, who did not mincs
words in retortdng.
Commissioner WaIdheim said that Bell
was no gentleman and that he would not
be in Bells company If it were not. com
pu1sory Chairman Oferman intimated
as much. and then he asked Bell to sub
NIT a report from the Finance Committee
Of which he is chairman, and Bell refused
Commissioner Stuhr took up the fight

olution dismissing the committee. and ap-
pointed a new one with Commissioner
