WO00MEN'S BALL

It would be difficult to see q nicer
and more orderly ball than was given
at the l. o. o. F. Hall ON Monday,
Christmas Eve, by North Park Camp
No. 3s2, Woodmen of the World.
The crowd in attendance was not
so large as on former occasions, but
everything passed of in most excel
lent order, and every one present en-
joyed the festal occasion immensely.
The music was furnished by Dave
and Mrs. Hendrickson and VIM. Dry
er, and that combination is suffi-
cient guarantee Of success in that line.
VIM. Huntington was at his old place
as prompter, and all North Parkers
are familiar with his methods.
Some of the costumes of the ladies
were very attractive. Miss Carrie
Seymour, IN a garnet colored velvet
trimmed in white satin bad perhaps
the most attractive costume on the
floor. Miss Mabel Frank had q Law.
ender silk. Waist, combination OF
same material with white silk. Il
was very delicate and appropriate
for party dress. Miss Della David
son was in q rose-colored worsted
neatly trimmed in white chefon
Some Of the younger Misses wert
also tastefully attired in stylish cos
tunes. Miss Laura McDole was
dressed in white silk with white slip
pers. Miss Louise Snyder in blue
worsted trimmed in white. Miss
Anna Martin was dressed in . deer
| red and black combination.
At midnight, supper at the Snyder
House was announced, and the spreat
was all that the most epicurean pal
ate could wish. Everything good
and in abundance, with bright ano
attentive walters. The large major
ity OF those who participated at thu
festal board went away we'll satisfied
with that Christmas repast
At $3.50 o'clock a. m. the music
had ceased in the large hall, the jolly
crowd had disappeared, and tn
Christmas festivities for 1900 wer'
forever ended.

CHRISTMAS TREE

Up in ono corner of the little
church at Walden was placed beau
tiful evergreen tree that reached 10
the ceiling. The branches were .
mass Of dark green, but when fss-
tooned by the ornaments peculiar to
such u festive occasion, 1t presented
an appearance that was very attrac-
tive. Tapers ware arranged in taste
full profusion through the branches,
aud when lighted madc q pleasing
eject.
The following was the program
rendered:
Soug-Beautiful Christmas, BY the
choir.
Short Scriptural Reading by Rey.
D. w. Tibbetts.
Prayer by Pastor.
Song by Infant class.
Recitation by Mary Riggen.
Song-Sweet Bells Ring On, by
choir.
Recitation by Infant class.
Song by Infant class.
Recitation by Clarence Manvillc.
Song-At Happy Christmas Time,
by the choir.
Short Recitation by Andrew and
Helen Norell.
song-The Christmas Tree, or
Kriss Kringlo, by the choir.
During the rendition of this song
"Old Santa Claus" in the person of
NJ. j. Capron appeared with the jim
gle of sleigh-bells, and presents to
distribute, much to the delight OF the
little folks. This myth wax one of
the interesting features of the even
ing.
The singing was very good, consid-
ering the time given to practice.
The short recitation by tho Norell
children was very amusing. They
did well and received deserved ap-
plause. For some reason several per-
formers failed to respond when their
names were called, and there seemed
to be general lack of interest in all
the exercises. The attendance was
rather below former entertainments
Of this kind. This can be accounted
Tor from the fact that many ofour peo-
pie living remote from town had fam
lily or neighborhood entertainments at
home.

Altitude and Breeding.
Why one big Breeder Prefers West
ern-bred Bulls for his
Range.

Nearly all stockmen know Monte
Blevins, the North Park cattleman
whose cattle always top the market
when he ships, and whose steers are
classed as the best range stock known.
Monte came in this week with a bunch
of cattle that sold for something over
$40 per head for the steers, and they
were right off the range, too. Before
going home, he invested some of his
profits In two handsome, pure-tred
registered calves from the Ridgewood
herd and will take them back to the
Park with him. He secured Equator,
No. 10O,971, 13-months-old bull
calf, by Tom. Beau Monde, and a
worthy son of his dad, for s4oo.
The other calf was Royal Hessoid
ss,242, by Hessoid goth, $3.50. Both
of these calves were born and bred in
Colorado by Lowell & Dewitt on their
big ranch near Colorado Springs, and
after making the sale Mr.. Blevins re-
marked:
"Those bulls are worth $75 more
to me than they would be worth back
East, simply because they were bred
at this altitude"
This was rather peculiar remark,
and he was asked what he meant.
"Well, I have been watching and
experimenting, and find that cattle
bred at the altitude are Of larger
bone, bigger in size, have larger heart
and lungs than those bred in lower
altitude. They are harder, and
healthier in every way and do better
service on the range. This is not
only true Of pure-bred bulls, but all
Western-bred cattle arc the same.
Every Western br eeder who has i'm
ported cattle from the East knows
this perfectly we'll. Another thing,
owing to our splendid climate, the
pure-bred animals spend the greater
part Of their existence out of doors,
and they rather shun shed or barn.
Tho Eastern bred animal is different.
He is educated to End the greatest
comfort in barn or shed, and on the
range, If he can find cabin or shed
of any kind, he will stay with it and
the cows can hustle for themselves.
l believe the time is coming when the
whole country will be coming to the
mountains for their breeding cattle

proceed to Portland. He retired from sea
early in the seventies and had lived in
Bucksport since.
Yesterday was an ideal day for sail on
the waters and the travel, thou gh of
course not up to the high mark of mid
summer, was sufficiently large to give the
several -seamtboat lines good business.
The sail arranged by the Cacso Bay
Steamboat company among the islands
was largely patronized Eand the Harps
well steamers got a big share of the pat
ronage.
The usual Sunday concert was given
at Greenwood Garden and the decks of
the Alice Howard were crowded with
passengers on her early afternoon trips.
The English steamer Therese Heymann
arrived light from Cape Breton and

WOULDN'T PAY HACKMAN.
A Couple of DRINKS who Got Much the
Worst of Argument.

Last evening a couple of men hired a
hack to take them from Washington
street 10 the Grand Trunk depot. After
they had arrived at the station they re-
fused to pay the hickman, James Ross.
The latter referred the matter to Officer
McGrath who started out to investigate.
Both of the men had been drinking and
seemed to be acheing for a.tight. They re-
sisted the officer and in the tussle which
ensued Officer McGrath dropped his billy
and was obliged to fight the men with his
fists But he proved equal to the task and
soon had both men under control The
patrol wagon was called and the prison
ers were taken to the police station. They
said that they belonged in Berlin, N. H.,
and had intended to go home on the
evening train. One of Officer McGrath' s
hands was soraped, a part of his coat
was torn and button was pulled off.
The men did not give their names.

DIDN'T WORK.
Lobster Fishermen Did Not Care TO Buy
Yacht offered at Low Price.

Saturday afternoon a party of men
anchored in a good looking yacht just off
Peabody's cove near Trundy's reef on the
Cape Elizabeth shore and going ashore in
their small boats offered to sell the yacht
to some lobster fishermen for $50.
The lobster fishermen declined the
offer, for it appeared as if some crooked
work had been done inasmuch as the
boats which the men came ashore in
themselves were worth from $50 to $40.
Failing to make sale the men rowed
away leaving the yacht at anchor of the
cove where she now remains, being
looked after by the lobster fishermen.
