Reflections OF a Bachelor.

A woman never knows what it is to
have a wife.
Love is a great mystery until you
don't understand it.
Every woman thinks that to man
she must be fascinating puzzle.
If the average man could have his
way he would go and get chloroformed
just before he gets married.
A woman looks on marriage as a
chance to raise her social position; a
man looks on it as a chance to lower
his own.
A man has to like a girl mighty little
to enjoy hearing her swear.
a man kisses his best girl to sleep
about as often as he kisses her awake
after they get married.
1t was probably some woman that
wrote about matches being made in
heaven" when she first got engaged.
You can generally tell how often a
woman combs her hair by the number
Of combs she doesn't wear stuck in it.
If the average woman could only
have her own way about everything,
she would probably never want any
thing else.
1t isn't mans fault that he was
once a baby, but it always makes him
ashamed to think Of it.
When a woman wants to get an
other woman mad she gives her some
fancy thing that the second woman
gave her last Christmas
Every woman spends a lot of money
every Christmas buying presents for
people she would be a lot happier if she
didn't know.
Nowadays a man has got to give the
girl he used to give IS cent diary to
seven-dollar lamp shade. or all the
women will call him "old-fashioned."
Probably every girl you meet over IS
has book down in the bottom of her
top bureau drawer that she is afraid to
leave out on the table for fear her

J. n. BEARD DEAD.
AGED Richmond Man Who Claimed to Have
Been al Waterloo.

In Richmond. last week, occurred
the death Of MI. John Henry Beard,
one of the oldest men in that town.
His funeral occurred. on Thursday.
Mr.. Beard claimed to have been born
in March Of 1900. but as he had been
something of wanderer on the face
Of the earth. it is difficult to learn ac-
currte particulars of the mans early
life.
He was. by his own telling, a de-
serter from the English army. in which
his father before him served. He
claims to have been either witness
If. or a participant in, the Battle Of
Waterloo. when he was 10 years Of
age. And one of his stories to a Bow
doinham man was that he was III, 50
that his exact age cannot be deter
mined.
He was undoubtedly nearly 100, and
perhaps all of that He had for years
been one of the well-known characters
about town, and in later years had
been unable to do anything save spin
marvellous yarns about the things of
former days.
He was, directly after his drifting to
Richmond. a ship sawyer, which trade
he followed during much of the time
of shipbuilding in Richmond. At the
time of his death he was a bOarder at
the town farm, his pension making him
independent of the town.
He leaves two daughters. Mrs. Card
ner Coombs of Lynn. Mass. and Mrs.
Linda S. Dunbar Of South Portland.
He also leaves other relatives here who
are among the most respectable people
in town.-Richmond Cor. Of Lewiston

A Merry Christmas.

The Journal wishes a merry Christ
mas, this morning, to all its readers.
May the day be full of happiness to all
Of you and to those whom you love.
May the sweet significance of the
holiday season sink into every heart
and bless every household.
christmas comes but once a year,
but when it comes it brings good
cheer" to all parts of the world. No
holiday is so widely or deliberately
celebrated. 1t is the one great inter-
national festival of the year. observed
in every cline; and though it is cele-
brated in many manners it is celebrat-
ed everywhere because it is the ami
versary of the birth of Him whose
name the worlds great religion bears.
In our own section of the country the
Puritanic principles of our ancestors
made the day little observed. in COM
parison with its observance in the
South, until a comparatively recent
date But now the New England
Christmas holds its proper place as a
leading holiday as well as sacred
holy-day. though the ardor with which
it is observed is less marked than in
the South or in Old England.
This is particularly merry Christ
mas throughout our happy land.
Prosperity reigns and plenty abounds,
and there are Christmas trees, today,
in many homes to which they have
long been strangers. Many stockings
are filed with good things. this year.
which have had only holes in them in
previous years. This Yule tide is the

country is enjoying in these end Of
the-century years. May many anot her
Christmas come and go before the tide
recedes. Thus far the country at
large for millionaire and mill opera
tive, 1t is indeed merry Christmas.
For the individual, also, it will be a
merry Christmas if the spirit of the
day permeates his soul, and if he
blesses himself by making others
happy. But in old England over the
sea it is the saddest Yule-tide for many
years. Over castle and cottage there
hangs the gloom caused by the war in
South Africa, when the best blood of
England is being poured out for the
empire. The profound sympathy of
America goes out to the many English
homes MlCre

song and story cluster around the
theme. What deathless memories Of
day. What inspiration in the sweet
and simple tale of the manger and the

read over and over the story of the
shepherds who watched their flocks by
night. and find in it something new,
each time. And yet, after all the CEN
turtles that have passed, there is not
peace on earth and there is not good
will among men SO far the world
persists in straying from the orbit
where moves the Star of Bethlehem.
But the star still shines, and will never
lose its luster until all men are broth
ers, and the purpose of Him in sacred

mas is celebrated, is fulfilled upon the
earth.
