Arrangements for a Merry Christmas

saturday seemed far from being . win
ter day and the weather was 50 mild and
In all ways phenomenal for this season Of
the year that one would almost hesitate
in believing that another Christmas

with people who were out shopping.
Down along the water. front section the

that they might be prepared to enjoy a
respite on Monday. As is known the
world over the English people have y
particular fancy In celebrating Christ
mas day. 1t happened. however, this
year that in this section there were fewer
signs than In former times OF the gaysty
and other scenes usual at Christmas.
There are always several English steam
srs In port at :this time of the year and
for this occasion they are handsomely
decorated.
About the customary number was also
tied mp at the wharvss on Saturday. but
of the five steamers Of as many different
lines that were In this city, only one Of
the list was passenger boat. This was
the Dominion Of the Dominion line, one
of the largest and finest steamers tAta
has visited Portland IN many years.
This 10 the maiden trip Of the Dominion
to Portland and since she arrived here
q few days sgo. many people have taken
advantage Of the opportunity to inspect
her.
On Saturday the officers and crew Of
this steamer spent much Of their time In
decorating her 80 that she would present
an appearance that would DO something
out of the ordinary on the great festival
day of the year. The Dominion expects
to DO at Halifax on Monday and In that

Street Scenes Saturday Evening
in Business District.

Every man, woman and child on Con-
grss street Saturday night, ani there
were hundreds OF them, jammed on the
sidewalks and In the stores, seemed to
have q bundle, or several Of them, under
their arms. 1t was the usual holiday
crowd, in a hurry, good natured and ap-
parentjy happy. A common sight was
the head OF the family with his arms
loaded down with presents for the little
folks while the mother elbowed her way
through the crowd. now and then stopping
to peer into shop windows to select some-
thing which seemed necessary to COM
plete Santa Clnus's gifts. The big depart
ment stores were absolutely packed full
of purchasers from six O'Clock until long
after eleven at night. The weary clerks
behind the counters were kept on ths
glad when the rush was at an eud. The
street cars were oiled with men and
women carrying all manner Of awkward
packages and It was not until long After
midnight that Congress street resumed
It's usual quiet aspect and WAS vacated
for the bslated householder, the bon
vivants and the patrolmen.
One Of the best places to thoroughly
comprehend the size Of the crowd was At
the head Of Preble strset on Monumnt
square. In front OF the waiting room Of
the Portland Railroad company there
was great throng Of people from the
suburbs arriving or departing on the oars

slow work passing this point on the way
Up or down town and the policemen
stationed there had more than they could
properly attend to to keep the sidewalk
from being blocked. In front Of Shaw's
store there was another jam composed
early in the evening of youngsters who
expressed their delight at the sight Of q
'real Santa Claus" In unmistakable
language.
Further mp town there were other
crowds about the doors Of the stores bat
these were In motion rs the tide was
flowing In and out the big storehouses of

storss were packed solid full until closing
time ana all of them seemed to be getting

the 23d Of Dsoem Der, the crowds were or

Christmas purchases before the stores
closed and 1t was not an embarrassing
sight 10 remain quiet IN one place and

We have saved many doctor bills
since we began using Chamberlain IS
Cough Remedy in our home. We
keep bottle open all the time and
whenever any of my family or myself
begin to catch cold, we begin to use

never have to send away for doctor

fails to cure. 1t is certainly medi-
