AT THE GOSPEL MISSION.

Over 500 Children and Grown Folks
Made Happy With Useful Gifts.
Christmas at the Gospel Mission Is
looked forward to with as much pleasure
as is Thanksgiving day. when dinners
are provided for the poor by the benevo-
lent people OF Portland. On Christmas
the day is observed by the distributing
of gifts to the children and last evening
the hall was crowded with merry young
folks who came In droves from all parts
of the city. 1he affair was managed In
the usual excellent style by Rev. s. y.
Pearson who had devoted the greater part
of his life to this kind Of work.
Last evening Mr.. Pearson said:
Next to the Thanksgiving feast Of good
things at the Gospel Mission, Christmas

anticipations by the children. and to the
praise of God, and benevolence of the
people 1t can truly be said that In the
twsnty-thrse years of Its experience they
have never yet been, suffered to expert
snoe disapr ointment. and although In
the past twenty-years many who have
taken the deepest interest in the branch
OF the work have been called from our
midst to their sternal reward. Yet Gcd
In His tender love has provided for our
needs. The year looked tho darkest of
any we have yet been called upon to
meet, but with the ordinations of the
CHILDREN in our ears, and an nnwavsring
faith in God We went forward, and &C.

into this city this season, measuring
twenty six feet In height. erect I'd them

hearts and hands we're ready to dress
them in their Christmas attire, and load
them with the fruits Of kind and loving
hearts. The gifts that were sent in to dec
crate these trees were just what we re-
quired. Owen, Moore s. company for ex
ample sent down four large boxes OF
warm underclothing and II. II.
Butler contributed many good stylish
hats. Ira f. Clark and company sent in
three bundles Of clothing, hats and caps
and in this way the gifts poured into the
hall and the committee had all they could
attend to In arranging them for the even
ing's distribution"
At eight o'clock the hall was filed with
an expectant crowd of little folks, and
there were many men and women present
TO delight in the exercises. After the
reading of the scriptures and prayer sew
eral hymns were sung. Then the COM
mittee began the work of distributing the
gifts and for two hours they worked
hard 1t was an extremely interesting

Are peculiar in many ways.
They like to drink water without
ice.
They would rather walk upstairs
than take an elevator.
They use ordinary portable bath
tubs in place of stationary porcelain
or metal ones such as we have.
What seems to us the funniest
thing of all is that they absolutely
prefer chicory in their coffee.
1t is easy enough for any one to
get adulterated coffee in this coun-
try. But the good housewife watches
carefully that she is not thus i'm
posed upon.
Those who have learned by ex-
perience and wish to be absolutely
sure that they are getting pure coffee
and the best coffee, without a grain
of adulteration, ask for and insist
upon having Chase & Sanborn's
Coffees.
There is none better on the mar
ket. Every bean has beer carefully
selected from plantation ), famous
for their coffee crops.
The fact that these cofees bear
the seal of Chase & sSanborn is in
itself sufficient guarantee that they
are full weight and in every way
perfect.
Seal Brand Coffee comes in one
and two-pound tin cans, and their
other high grades in richly colored
parchment-lined imported bags.

ALTON RAY OUTING.

Alton Bay has for many a year been
not only popular as a summer resort
but as a camp meeting ground it has
been a favorite place. 1t Is close by
that most beautiful and renowned i'm
land sea, Lake Winnipesaukee, and
the drives and walks lead to charming
places, while with a row boat one may
visit scores of shaded and peaceful
hooks, where camps and cottages are
always to be found. Then, too, one
may take the steamer Mount Wash
ington for a tour of eighty miles over
the lake, making landings at the prin-
cipal resorts like The Welrs. Centre
Harbor and Wolfeboro, and the cost is
but trifling. At the camp meeting
grounds there Is always good time.
for those who frequent this resort in
tend to combine pleasures with their
labors, and as to the result the large
attendance bespeaks for It.
This seasons meetings will extend
from August LIST to Goth, and during
that time reduced rate tickets to Alton
Bay will be on sale at many Of the
Boston and Maine ticket offices.

NEWsBoYs STRIKE RICH.
The Boat Race and Novel Bit Of Adver-
Using Enterprise.

The surging mass of shoppers and
strollers that thronged the sidewalks
of Main and Front streets last Satur-
day night were amused or mystifled
by the newsboys shrill cry, "All about
the London Terrors and the boat racer
as one little fellow sang it.
And it is safe to say that not since
the last political excitement have the
boys gathered in such rich harvest.
For white interest in the Worcester
champion would alone have sold more
papers than usual the sales were still
further swelled by the novel scheme
of one of our local real estate firms,
who engaged a dozen or fifteen of the
loudest-voiced newsboys obtainable to
stay on the streets beyond their usual
hour OF selling and to make the town
ring the entire evening with the cry:
Evening Post. Full account of Linden
Terrace and the boat race!"
j. d. Plumb of Boston, advertising
manager for the land company, pushed
his enterprising plan on these lines from
4.30 to 10 p. m. and paid the boys a boz
rus above their regular profit on
sales. To supply their need, the stock
of many newsstand was bought up by
Mr.. Plumb and distributed gratis to
the boys as fast as they sold out
The results of this and a
liberal use of printers ink were
seen in the large number OF
people who visited Linden Terrace
yesterday. Several hundred people
were on the slightly grounds Of the new
suburb in the afternoon, and 1t Is I'M
derstood that nearly one-fourth of the
house lots have been sold during the
past week. though the formal opening
does not take place until next Sasur.
day. TO judge by present indications
things will be pretty well closed out
by another week, and the newsboys
will probably not have another chanc,
for some time to make such good money
as they gathered in last Saturday
night.
