A Cnmtinns Mnn

The familiar saw that no man can be
hero to his valet was illustrated to
me the other day in an amplified and
peculiar form. 1t was while sitting
with man of affairs that his stenog-
rapher entered, saying that a certain
other man desired to speak to my ac-
quaintance over the telephone. Take
it" said my man and forthwith picked
up his extension machine, through
which he talked with the man at the 9th
er end, the conversation including mat
tiers of finance. politics and personal
business of a most familiar and conf
dental sort. He didn't mind me at all
i didn't count. We continued our
conversation and just as l was ready
to leave the stenographer entered with
several sheets of manuscript. which
she laid on the desk.
THAT goes on fiie," said my man.
81 invariably have a record kept Of
my telephone talks, and I've found it
to pay. While | talk the stenographer
holds the main line and puts it down"
| made up my mind that if had any
thing particular to say to that man
hereafter I'd tell him on the street or
in some place other than his office

eight minutes after the operation of

out and a hole made in the door of suf-

Restaurant Thieves.

why don't you use after dinner cot
fee spoonsY' asked woman at a first
class up town restaurant of the propri-
etor the other evening, finding it some
what inconyenient to use large spoon
with her small cup. I'VE did have
them when we first opened" answered
the proprietor. I'VE had six dozen,
but they gradually disappeared until
now only three are left and we consid-
err it more economical TO use the larger
spoons, for which people do not seem
to have such fancy"
AT many restaurants when a glass of
claret or sherry is called for it is serv-
ed in a tiny decanter. These miniature
bottles are very attractive They seem
to appeal, as many small things do. to
the taste of many people. One man
who visits now and again many differ
ent restaurants boasts that he has over
two dozen of these pretty little decan-
tiers. He doesn't say how he came by
them, but be didn't purchase them

What Meaneth il?

What means all this rush Of trade
which we see on every hand III these
closing days of the year? Manufacture
ers have been busy for months prepar-
ing goods, and merchants and shopmen
are now rushed in delivering them.
The mails and express lines are bur-
dened, and gorged with the vast volume
of matter being borne to millions in
distant parts. The whole represents
countless millions of money, which if
given to king would make him poor
to build Golfers in which to store the
treasure. Christmas And what is
that? Why dO we celebrate it? On
what is it founded? A babe was born
in Bethlehem nearly 2000 years ago.
He lived brief life of only 33 years.
He had no armies, organized no nation,
and only spent three years in teaching
his doctrine. Yet nothing so sways
men today as the spirit of this same
Jesus, who was Graded in q manger
and all of life had not where to lay his
head
We may deny the Christ of history;
but the Christ of today in his institu-
tions and spirit is what confronts us.
Whence came these things. Out of
what have they grown, and by what
force do they growY We can do away
with Christ, demolish him in theory;
but the Christianity everywhere about
us, what will we do with that? We
may deny the New Testament Jesus,
but the Jesus who at this Christmas
time is swaying the hearts of the civil
lied world, how shall we deal with him

RuSSeIl--P Patterson.

at the pleasant home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Calvin Russell east of Old Brock
way, on Wednesday evening, Dec. 49,,
1900, to witness the happy wedding of
their daughter Miss Agnes Hazel to
MIR. John l.. Patterson. these was as
sembled company of sixty invited
guests. This home has long been
noted for its hospitality, the host and
hostess being of the true and loving
sort Of people who make guests feel at
home, when around their hearthstone,
and beside their bounteous table.
Promptly at 5 o'clock, keeping step to
the wedding march executed by Miss
Ada Wilkes, the bridal party marched
into the parlor. They were led by Miss
Alice Russell who acted as bridesmaid,
and MIR. James Reid, who took the part
of groOmsman, the bride and groom
following, until the place at the nuptial
altar was reached, the bride being con-
Quoted thither and presented by her
father. Here they were met by Rev.
Il. Durr, of Yale, who performed that
solemn and yet happy ceremony which
united two hearts in one. The service
was followed by hearty congratula-
tiOns from the assembled friends, by
whom the young couple are loved and
honored
On this occasion the bride wore a
pretty dress of white silk, trimmed
with silk chiffon and lace embroidery,
the whole a creation of loveliness.
She bore to the altar a bouquet of
white roses. The bridesmaid was at
tired in pink and white silk and
carried pink and white carnations.
Following the congratulations came
the wedding banquet, which was
tastily and royalty served. the tables
fairly trembled with the abundance of
good cheer. Accompanied by a num-
Der of friends, the bridal couple were
driven TO Avoca, where they took the
train for the east. After the holidays
they expect to be at home to all their
friends at their residence just north of
Brockway village, where all will find
and are sure to receive a true christian
welcome.
The young people were the recipients
of many beautiful and costly presents
from friends, as tokens of the esteem
in which they are held, and the well
wishes which follow them.
That two such honest and loyal
christian young people should unite
for life's journey makes us think that
the hand of God rules, and that life is
a grand possibility strewn with many
blessings.

George Brown.

1t has been known for sometime by
the medical attendant and immediate
friends that George Brown, who resid-
ed in Southwest Brockway was unto
death. The solemn passage to the be-
yond came on Dec. IS, 1901, and he
who was our friend and neighbor was
no more on earth. Deceased was born
in Ontario in 1928 and was upward of
~ years old at the time of his death.
He was married at the age of 25
years; and the union was followed by
the birth of nine children, seven Of
whom are yet living. For many years
Mr.. Brown has been o citizen of this
country, and resided upon the farm
where he died in this township. For
some time past he has suffered with
cancer, but bore his afflictlon patiently.
The funeral occurred on Thursday,
Dec. Goth, at pm. and was conducted
by Elder d. Mccall, of Yale. The in.
terment was made in the Moore Gem.

YALE Clair County Mich, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 81 1900
The Lecture.

The lecture given by Hon. Frank A.
Dean on "Glimpses of Sunny Chimes"
last Monday evening was well attend
ed although the crowd was not so
great as at the concert some weeks
ago. The lecture consisted in des-
cription of journey from New York
to Naples, and life as the lecturer saw
it in the latter place. We have heard
many favorable comments upon the
entertainment, and but few criticisms,
and these of a minor kind.
The composition was fine, and Mr..
Dean shows himself to be a master of
the mother tongue. His descriptive
powers are very fine, and the audience
was borne upon his tongue across the
Atlantic, over the lost continent, up
the rocky face of Gibraltar, and
through the sand and scenes of North
Africa, and finally landed in sweet and
sunny Naples, there to stay-until the
administration changed and Mr.. Deans
consulate ended.
From his description of life in
Naples, we do not think it the most de-
sirable residence city. The speaker
showed us the grandest things in art
and ideal, but so close to filth and
false living as to greatly mar their
beauty. If he is correct that city and
region is not up to date in much that
is modern. The whole lecture abound
ed in facts and fancies. The facts
were very interesting and instructive,
and the fancies were very beautiful
and grand specimens of literary gems.
OF the few criticisms we have heard,
we think one is at least justly made.
There was no necessity for the speaker
to introduce theology, or differences
rejecting upon the religious faith and
practice of any of his audience. His
delivery at times was too rapid for
many to catch the words. This was
especially the case when he was max
ing some of the wittiest puns of the
evening. But the lecturer did not ar
rive until late train, and he perhaps
feared to weary his hearers by any
slowness of delivery. Besides this, he
was suffering from a cold, and his
voice, which we doubt not in it's usual
state is very resonant, was somewhat
out of tune. No reader and thinker on
history, and especially no school pupil
could afford to miss the solid things
the lecture contained. The speaker
did not aim to entertain, but rather
instruct and his production was some
what like himself-weighty

but had not been receiving his pay which
under the ordinance was q for each visit
made. This should be paid as soon as
possible. Then there was a nurse in
these small pox cases who has got to be
paid by the city. As yet no price had
been fixed. Mr.. Goudy thought that the
poor department had been paying bills
which it ought not TO and Mr.. Gowen
thought that these bills just mentioned
should be paid by the board of health.

Public Buildings Committee Meets

Veteran Patrick Melody Again
Turned Down.

A regular meeting of the board of over
scers of the poor was held last evening
and the session continued for an hour
and half The members who We're in
attendance We're Chairman Cousins and
Messrs. Cloudy, Ross, Bibber, Gowen,
York, Daniels, Pierce and Johnston. AS
soon as the meeting had been convened
and the records of the last meeting APP
proved Mayor Robinson who had been in
vited to attend with subcommittee of
the committee on public buildings, adj
dressed the board in relation to the re-
lnoval of the old Mitchell house to the lot
of the city almshouse. AT first the com
mittee had thought it advisable to re
move the house to location near Grove
street, but il was not now thought this
plan was feasible The best plan now
was to move the house right across the
street from its present location. This
could be done at a less expense and it
would be Of no special disadvantage to
the trees. At all events the house would
be only fit for winter use and this arrange
ment would be only temporary make
shift.
Councilman Hunt of the sub committee
also addressed the board ON this subject
and explained that the house could be
moved across the street into the orchard
with little expense being incurred. He
said that the doctor anticipated that the
small pox cases were about over, but at
the same time it would be well to look
out for any more cases that might be de-
veloped. 1t was hoped by the committee
that by fall some other arrangements
would be made so that a better place
would be secured.
Mrs. Mitchell, who owned the house,
recently died, =" said the Mayor, land the
board of health has now taken charge of
it. We would hardly like to have the
present conditions continue"
physicians say, declared Mr.. Hunt,
THAT houses where there are small pox
patients can be qlnrantined, but when
"a case breaks out in hotel or other pub
lie place the patient must be removed"
Then, on motion of Mr. Gowen, the
board voted to concur with the commit
tee on public buildings in this matter.
in leaving the room the Mayor invited
the board to appear at any meetings of
the committee of which he was mem
Der in order to discuss matters, the same

TO BE ON SAFE SIDE.
Two Patients Removed 60 the Pest
House.

A few days ago two women in the inn
beetles department at the Greeley hospital
were found TO be sick. just what the
character of their Illness was 1t was inn
possible at that time to determine. To be
or the safe side the physicians ordered
these two patients removed to that part
Of the pest house in which there has never
been any small pox. One of these pa
tients, an aged woman, who has been an
imbecile and a city charge from child
hood died Thursday night. 1t was not
believed that she died of small pox be-
cause the disease did not resemble small
pox, but as the patients did not know
enough to tell what their symptoms were
the board of health thought they were
safer in removing the woman from the
Greeley hospital where there are so many
people. The other case will be watched
a day or so until it develops sufficiently
to enable the doctors to tell what it is.
The Eichman family who have been in
quarantine so long because little boy
had the small pox, have been sent to Kan
sas, and the old Mitchell house in which
they have been located has been thor
oughly fumigated. The city physician
says that the two small pox patients at
the pest house are getting along we'll,
neither of them having had a very severe
attack of the disease.
