that have been made in this column that
the grangers should be purchased rather
than anything else on the list by conserva-
tive investors and speculators. They are
of the best kind. The advance of these
stocks in the last two weeks has shown
that the public generally is fully aware of
this condition OF things. The buying of
the grangers has been larger than of any
other stocks and in fact has overshadOwed
everything else. Burlington has advanced
nearly fiftten points in week and al
though the other members of this group
have not kept pace with it there is every
evidence that they will catch up later.
The best observers in Wall Street advise
| buying Burlington for $50 and Rock Island
and ST. Paul for 130 or 1876.
While the grangers are by far the most
attractive stocks on the list it is equally
| certain that lesser priced shares will soon
| be taken up by the Street now that the
| advance in the grangers has been carried
! so far. There is the greatest faith in the
| Pacific securities and the Atchisons- The
| fact that this is so was demonstrated this
| morning by good advances in these shares.
| 1t is one of the theories of the Street that
| when the grangers have been put up to
| their legitimate level they will be taken
| out of the Street largely and their places
| taken by the Pacifics and other like at
| tractive stocks.
| There was the continuance of the fine
| squirt in Sugar this morning 139 and bet
/ ter soon being reached. There are vague
rumors on the Street that a powerful Bos-
ton combination is buying the stock in the
| hope of being able to oust Mr.. Havemeyer
| from the control of the company. This
| scheme has been tried before, and it has
| always failed. There is no particular rea-
| son for believing that it will succeed this
| time

The boom in Metropolitan, Manhattan

all the remainder of the list was advancing
rapidly today these stocks were compara-
lively neglected. The faith of the friends
of the stocks, however. is undated. They
are having a somewhat tiresome wait as
they watch everything else go up.

THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.

Cold must be the heart that has no
response to this great Christmas senti-
ment, barren indeed the home into
which no recognition of the Christ
child enters, no thought of that ines
Unable gift that has made all man
kind brethren. To the poorest and
humblest of us this Christmas me sage
speaks. The wise men required the
guiding of the star, but to the watch
ing shepherds the angel spoke face to
face, and there is a Christmas senti
ment in all these gay streets and lost
ling crowds that the wise men of our
day were not always the first TO under
stand. In few days more the ever
greens will have faded, and we shall
be going about our business with all
the stern realities of the new year be-
fore us. But we shall carry something
over from this great holiday that will
not fade If we care to keep 1t green, a
new impulse of faith and love tina;

HANGING THE HOLLY.

The English holly is finer in quail
ity than that grown on American
shores, says the St Louis Republic.
The leaves are better green and the
berries larger, and before the holiday
season sets in great hampers of 1t are
shipped from the English ports to de-
light American eyes and hearts. An
attractive manner of using it is to tie
big lunches with long satin ribbon
loops and ends, matching in shade the
hue of the berries, and place them
over pictures or mantel shelf. or
fasten against the wall, especially in
some picturesque nook or corner.
Underneath the mantel, where there
is no fireplace, the space may be
banked with masses of the splnv
leaves and bright berries; Jars or vases
may be filled with them, while holly
wreathes and ropes are another form
of decoration very effective both In
large and small apartments.

sisters have exchanged thanks for
their gifts; the first impetuosity of

the Christmas party by any hasty de-
parture .sr~
On the following day, the day before
Christmas, | summoned all my cour-
age and went down stairs into the
midst of the gayety. The expression
of Mrs, Kerr's face had undergone a
delightful change. She fairly beamec
on me, and lurking suspicion filled
my mind. Gene had undoubtedly told
his mother and sister ALL for in no
other way could ! explain the rhap-
sodic expression on the mothers face,
and the sadness that seemed to have
come over the younger woman. That
of course was simply pity, argued.
She was like all the others, ready to
play the coquette though she knew she
would break heart or two. d r0"
By most fortunate chance l re-
ceived a message late in the morning
which summoned me to the city for ii
few hours on a matter of business.
Eugene had arranged a sleighing
party for the afternoon, and this | was
lOICtu u lOItSO MY Train lcll
shortly after noon, and l was waiting
at the station scanning paper, my
thoughts on a sweet face in the Kerr
home, when 1 heard my name men
toned by the agent as he directed
some one to the house on the hill. 1t
was a telegram announcing the COM
pleticn of the business and informing
me that it would not be necessary for
me to leave.
On this trifling incident hung my
fate, for when | returned | found that
| the only one of the party who had not
felt equal to the long drive was-Miss
Grace.
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1899-12-21

She saw me coming up the hill, ana
in her amazement as l afterward as
certained, thought l had purposely de-
ceived her mother and brother.
+ oh, but her heart was beating for
some, one, and when she met me
knew by her sweet eyes that all the
happiness of the days before my dis
closure had come back to her heart
| had her all to myself that after
noon, that glorious afternoon, the RAJ
dance of which has sent its light
along the pathway of my whole life.
l dare not tell you what occurred,
except to say that when the party
came back | had my telegram to ex-
plain my sudden turn but no word
of explanation for tie JOY in my soul.
And now for the finale. Yet it was
only finale to the old lady's ambi-
ton, and but the beginning of my
long sweet story
The Christmas dinner was Sn. I
could tell you every detail of it, b
could tell YOU where Grace sat, and 1

So very special well;
She's always saying: what was that
Last word?" and makes me spell
And then pronounce it after her,
As slow as slow can be.
You'd better take littlc care
That's what she says to me
'Or else I'm really 'frald you'll find
Some one Of these bright days,
You're always behind your primer

That's what my teacher says.
But when I'm at my grandpa's house
He hands me out a book,
And let's me choose a place to read,
And then he'll sit and look
At me, and listen, just as pleased!

And when ] read a great long word,
He'll say, why, little Grace,
You'll haze to teach our deestrict

OLD DALKEITH PALACE.

candle.

Dalkeith Palace, in Scotland, Is a
plain building, but it has a fine sltua-
ton, with a good bowling green and a
beautiful bridge of white stone span
ming the Fisk river, within sight of the
house. The present building, erected
in 100, stands on the site of the old
castle of Dalketh, which Is alluded to
as far back as 1130, when William de
Graham, who had received a grant OF
lands from David l., was the occupant
In the fourteenth century the castle,
along with the barony Of Dalkeith,
passed by marriage to the house OF
Dougles In 1902 it was the scene OF
much gayety on the occasion OF the
marriage of James w., when the bride,
Princess Margaret was conducted to
Scotland by the Earl of Surrey. For
fortnight the rejoicings were kept up
and the couple, with their followers,
then went to Edinburgh to celebrate
the marriage Of Hollywood. Sixty years
later the centre of attraction at the
palace was Mary Queen of Scots, and
it had at other times visits from most
of the Kings of Scotland. Queen
Victoria, on her first visit to Scotland,
in 1912, held her court at Dalkelth.
Privileged visitors to the palace at
Dalkeith may view the apartments
she occupied and also the state draw
ing room, besides which are usually
pointed out the apartments Of George
W., and also of General Monk. The
grounds extend to over 1000 acres and
there are extensive gardens at Lugton,
formed in 1899. in connection.

NV Christmas Wooing.

There has been many memorable
Christmas in my life, scared and
Scared as it is by Times rebuffs, but
none is so fixed in my mind as that
of IS, none that comes back to me
with so stirring, so boldly-outlined
so sweet memory.
Perhaps it is as well not to dilate on
my personality in that year, except to
say that I was fresh from college,
and full of the energy with which we
all began the real battle OF life. Per-
.haps l was handsome. | thought so,
at least, although | was not vain, and
I am quite sure that one other GER
tainly agreed with me. 1t was at-bdt
/ must stop descanting on myself, for
l cut but sorry figure in this tale.
Among my circle of acquaintance
at college was Eugene Kerr, wealthy
beyond the dreams of ayarice, keen
souled and bright-eyed, dark-featured
and handsome, taller than / by sew
eral inches, and with a nature as free
and open as his speaking sparkling
eyes. 1t was to his home that ! had
been invited to spend the holidays
before engaging in the business of
which l was destined to become the
head in few vars.
At the Kerr home, a delightful
country residence near New York, l
was but one of a gay young party, for
the Kerr family kept open house for
score of friends during the holidays.
AS usual at these gatherings, we
were thrown together continually, and
my whole soul had suddenly gone out
to the sister of my friend Eugene
Her head was covered with dark,
shining chestnut hair, luxuriant hair
that looked all the more luxuriant
perhaps, by reason of the careless
way in which it was wrapped about
her head. The great gray eyes were
set deeply under a straight wide
brow. A delicate nose that would turn
up little when she lifted her head
and a splendidly-cut, clever wide
mouth, the lips of which parted every
now and then with a sweet smile, were
there. This was her face, and it was
fair enough; but 1t was her figure, hei
glorious, graceful. full, yet supple fig
ure that struck me most.
Nor was she averse to my attentions
yet l noticed from time to time a cold
ness in the voice and face of Mrs

Now thrice welcome Christmas,
Which bringeth good cheer
Mince pies and plum porridge,
Good ale and strong beer;
With pigs, goose and capon,
The best that can be,
So we'll doth the weather.
And our stomachs agree.
Observe how the chimneys
Do smoke all about; .....
The cooks are preparing
For dinner no doubt;
With holly and ivy
So green and so gay
We deck up our houses
AS fresh as the day,
With bays and rosemary
And lawrel compleat,

Is king in conceit.
But as for all curmudgeons
Who will not be free,

On the three-legged tree.
