"We ring the bells and we raise the strain,
We hang up garlands everywhere
And bid the tapers twinkle fair,
And feast and frolc--and then we 90
Back to the same old lives again."
There is perhaps as much truth as
poetry in this, but when we have had
merry and a kindly Christmas we
don't go back to quite the same old
lives again. We feel the influence of
such Christmas all through the year
to the next Christmas and often all
through our lives. So let us be as mer-
ry and as kind as we can to-day in or
der that the influence of this Christmas
may be strong in us when we go back
to ordinary living. We can't have bells,
garlands, tapers, feasting and frolic
every day, but we can have the remem-
brance of them to cheer us and we can
have the Christmas spirit to inspire us.
We wish all our readers A Merry
Christmas, and a long and strong con-
tinuance of the Christmas spirit.

with a seven-ton crane, which can be
attached readily to the front of the ma
chine, and can carry load While the
engine is being moved from place to
place. The wheels have extra width SO
that they can travel over soft ground,
while the steering Is effected by a
worm and rack arrangement which has
proved most successful. An engine of
this kind has been used in New Zealand
to haul wagons loaded with WOOL and
has run nearly 10000 miles without ac-
cident or breakdown. This wholesale
use of the steam traction engine in mill
itary operations is sure to attract great
attention. and will doubtless increase
the demand for these machines in new
countries where large mining or agri-
cultural opera lions are apt to follow
the work of an army.

IN EXCEPTION,

There are exceptions to all rules
Some die and some resign, and occa-
sionally very occasionally, there is one
who objects to an increase of salary.
Mayor Proctor, of Somerville, Massa-
chusetts, has just startled his fellow cit
liens by objecting to an increase in his
salary. An attempt was made recently
in the board of aldermen to grant the
mayor $1,000 in addition to the $500
now received by him. But Mayor Proc
tor read communication from himself
objecting to the measure. He was elected
for another term at recent city cleo
ton, and consequently feels that it
would not be becoming for him to allow
the measure to pass under such circum-
stances, even if the salary was INSULT
Gent Then, too, he thinks that his
compensation is liberal enough in view
of the financial ability of the city and
as compared with the salaries paid to
other mayors in stiles situated similarly
to Somerville. His attitude has brought
out some interesting opinions relating
to city government. Alderman Story
persists in his opinion that the mayor
should be given the $1,000 addition. as
under the revision of the new city char
ter the responsibilities of the executive
will be greatly increased, and Mr.. Story
believes that the mayor should be paid
accordingly. He says: City officials |
should be paid in money and not in
nonor. A man placed in control of ST. |
should receive at least $500. The |
mayor is forced to spend at least $1,000 |
n expenses incidental to maintaining
he position, and should be recompensed I
or it,
If any mayor is worth $500 year to
'omerville doubtless Mayor Proctor is.

WOES OF A TICKET SELLER.

| reasons Why He Thinks Travellers are
| Apt to be Careless or Cranky.
DO you ever have any troubles"'
asked a Bloomington ticket seller of n
| reporter. The cause of his question
| was that a few minutes before he had
sold couple of ladies tickets 70 a near
| ~ village. In q short time up came a
long, lank, ungainly countryman and
bought two tickets for the same village.
le walked directly over to the ladies
who had already purchased tickets, and,
after a half minutes conversation,
rushed back to the ticket winIow and
demanded the return of his money.
There was blood in his eye and he told
the ticket man what his opinion of him
was, and it was not flattering, file also
Informed the ticket seller that it was
the duty of the ticket seller to have told
him that the ladies' had purchased tick
cts. His money was refunded.
Another case happened a short time
ago, when western congressman was
on his way through this city. He was
riding on a Western Union pass, and,
by the way, If there are any imperti-
nent passengers they are some Of those
who ride on passes While his train
was standing at the depot he rushed
into the station and wanted the opera
tor to send telegram for him. Just at
the time he came in the agent was CIV
ing orders to the conductor, and when a
man is giving train orders he is not
supposed to do anything else. He cour
teously Informed the congressman that
he would wait on him in q moment,
knowing that the man had plenty nj
time before the train left The fellow
was impatient, and when the agent
went to take his message he explained
that he was giving the conductor orders
and could do nothing else. The con
gresham let out an oath and said he
didn't look as though he could attend to
one thing at a time, let alone trying to
do two. His language was decorated
around the edges with swear words that
would have been the envy of Texas
ranger Rs
One other incident occurred when the
late W. III. H. Adams was president of
the Wesleyan university Mr. Adams
came to the depot to get ticket. He
had clergyman's permit, and of course
his ticket was half price. AS 1t hap
pened an angular farmer wanted to go
to the same place and got to the window

WOMAN IN CITICy.

They have something in Brooklyn
which they call european. 1t seems
to be something to real papers before
Or make addresses to- At any rate,
Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden made an
address to it the other day, and she
took as large a subject as most women
Go when they address anything. She
talked about Women in Civics," but
her talk wasn't the talk that is usually
made by women who talk about "Wo-
men in Civics." Here is a specimen of
what she said Now one word as to
woman in office. l do not believe that
she would make a good Street Cleaning
commissioner merely because she is
more familiar than man with the
handling of a broom; nor that she
would make better Water commits
sioner because she is more often tee
totaller; nor a better Charities COM
missioner because she has had more ex-
perience with tramps The head of a
department needs principally one thing,
and that is executive capacity, the
power to choose. to get and to keep
people of specific knowledge and real
conscience. who will see that work is
done properly and promptly. I have
said before, and I repeat here that
woman will develop executive capacity
equal to mans just as soon as she gets
equal opportunities to develop it;
but I am certain that a city depart
ment should not become kindergarten
for her benefit This objection does
not apply to the appointment of some
women on the Board of Education,
which is deliberative in large measure,
and has to deal with the disciplining of
a large force of women teachers. The
men whom no woman can wheedle are
rare, very rare, and the women who are
not easily wheedled by women are
enough.
This seems like common sense but
before accepting it as such perhaps 1t !
will be wise to wait bit and see how |
It strikes other women who can talk |
about Woman in Civics.'

THE HORSE LEARNED THE
TRICK.

TRICK.
The manager of the Maine Provision
and Cold Storage Company, Mr.. Vose,
has q gray horse which knows as much
as any animal in the city, not except
ing the Fire Department horses, az his
owner thinks. The company stables its
horses on Fore street, and Mr.. Vose's
horse Is also kept there. To do away
with the necessity Of hiring man to
go to the stable at O'Clock every morn
ing to feed these horses, an ingenious
device was arranged which answered
every purpose until the arrival of the
gray horse. The device consisted of two
alarm clocks which were set to go off
at o'clock. A heavy weight was so
arranged that when the alarm started
the weight would drop and pull wire
which opened the trap doors and the
feed then came tumbling down into the
managers of the horses. After. the arriv-
al Of the gray horse 1t was noticed that
all OF the horses became very hungry
long before noon each day This could
not be accounted for until some one
stood watch to see what was the occa-
sion for the state Of affairs. The watch
err soon learned After the horses Were
fed at night and had eaten all that was
given them the gray horse reached up
and taking the wire in his mouth, pull
ed upon it. Down came into the mang
ers the feed that was intended to fall
at 4 o'clock. OF course the horses pro-
ceeded to eat it at ance, and before noon
We're very hungry. A man now feeds
the horses at o'clock, and the gray
horses pulls the wire in van.-The

Two very long ends starting narrow

edges being fastened down the central

to within half yard Of the foot of the
skirt where the ends were allowed
to be entirely free. The effect was that
of the revers turning back at the cen
trail seam Of the skirt. This was re-
lief to, the plainness, yet did not inter-
fere with the CLOSE fit.
Skirts that are box pleated all around

find favor because. aside from the
pleats, they adhere exactly to the out
lines of the skirts that have been worn
for several months. Their cut varies
but little and is indicated in this pic

peated on the short jacket in way

A Story an Odd Chicagoan is Still Fond
of Telling

OF Telling.
Chicago contains in its two millions
or more of population men ana women
of note and celebrity; it is also the
home of many of the worlds adventur-
ous spirits. men of singular character
istics, whose travels, experiences, and
exploits bear out the truth of the cpl
gram that truth is stranger than fic-
tion.'
One of these latter, "a native and to
the manor born" Is Colonel Richard
F. Denton, son Of the famous Doctor
Denton of Kentucky who built the first
race track, Merry Oakes, In State
famous for its fast horses. The Colonel
walked the plains in 49 to California;
he followed Grants army into Vicks-
burg; he married a st. Louis lady worth
100000; he founded Joplin, Mo, and
built every brick house in it; he is
walking encyclopedia of every sporting
event on the turf for the past half
century, and he has had an intimate
ing men, gamblers, SPECTATORS, and
owners of fast horses since his boyhood,
q period of almost three score years.
One of the most noted exploits was the
backing of a sporty friend in st. Louis
in the first Lincoln election that the
Republican candidate would carry
twenty-one States. This friend had

Already the upset in skirts is COM

be forever in advance of the fashions
needn't worry, but exquisites already
feel that skirt without fulness. at the

form is a skirt that fits skin tight and
this has, right down the back, triple

1t is just as correct to have the entire
