| Old Santa Claus one morning was trying
to peruse-
Though in tearing hurry-his Weekly
And the name of santos-Duront thai
| moment caught his eye,
The .well-known navigator Of machines
that soar on high.
Why, bless me-" :nuttercd Santa "a
cousin. sure enough:
Our family. I notice, is always up to
snuff!

And he sent off for an air-ship that very
self-same night.
a month or SO Of waiting; and then 1t
Upon a fass sog-special to Twenty North
And, Just as pleased as ever was any girl
Now Santa Claus his treasure surveyed
with chucl1ling JOY.
He scorned his heartsick reindeer, who
vainlv paved the snow;
He scorned his shining auto he'd boush,
2 year ago;
d vain.
Behold upon its Journey long his brinl-
ming aeroplane!
It southwark sped, and southwark, above
the frozen world;
The rudder acted nicely. the twin pro-
pellerS "nlfiSQ,
The route was unobStructed Ono hills, you
know, to climb.
The motion was enhancing, the ether
free from CRIME;
And Santa Claus was overjoyed to have
SO fire trip
When suddenly = cat-flt appeared to seize
that ship,
It canted, sWooped. and waboled; it Feer-
ed from side 10 side.
Oh, never Santos umont had such an
awful ride.
This happened Ger city-and 10, the
air was filled
With presents scattered broadcast from
out the air-ship spilled;
And into gaping chinneys Of children
who were bad
Fell toys and gifts unnumbered they
oughtn'r to have had!
And into patient chinaneys OF children
who were good
Fell naught at all, or possibly some bits
OF splintered wood!
The children bad were boastful, the chill
dren good We're grieveu:
And Santa Claus was frantic thaE 1o!kS
were SO deceived.
So. naughty, naughty youngsters with
gifts on Christmas Day.
Don't think that Santas plans for you
were meant to end that way;
And you the laos and laSses VINO urea
to Go just right.
And on Chrisunas-Day imagined that you
received a slight,
Please picture how it came to pass IN
spite OF Christmas laws.
And much against the purpose or poor
old Santa Claus;
And such a dreadful mix-up will neer
take place again.

Newspaper Notes.

AT the banquet of the Boston Merchants
club last week, Mr.. Stephen O'Meara an
nounced his retirement at the close of the
year from the Journal and Boston journal
ism.
Joseph H. Files, who for several years
has been the editorial writer for the Port
land Advertiser, has become member
of the editorial staff of the Press, and his
place on the Advertiser has been taken by
James w. Leathers, who was formerly on
the news staff of the Boston Herald, and
who was later connected with the Bangor
News in an editorial capacity.
Last winter N. J. Hanna of New Harbor
brought suit against the Herald for alleged
libel. The damages claimed were $4,000.
At the April term of Court a demurrer was
filed by Mr.. VIM. H. Hilton, counsel for
the defendant, and the demurrer was over
ruled, pro forma, for the purpose of bring
ing the matter before the Law Court. A
rescript handed down this week sustains
the exceptions and the demurrer. This
throws all the costs of the suit onto Mr.
Hanna. Herald.

Capt. E. o. Patterson Presented With a Dia.
mOnd Pin.
The U. S. dredge steamer Cumberland
was given final trip Saturday off the
mouth of the Kennebec and worked satis-
factorily in every particular. 1t was Sc
we're day for the test. There was a twenty
five mile breeze and the mercury was down
to zero and the sea was rough. The spray
would freeze the second it landed on the
craft. The machinery and dredging gear
worked to perfection. About twelve hun
dred tons OF sand and gravel were taken on
board from depth ranging from twenty
four to forty feet. 1t is expected that the
craft will be ready to leave for the South
the last of this week. Captain E. O. Patter-
son, the designer of the Cumberland, who
has been looking after the fitting out Of the
craft, will probably take her out as far as
Newport News. He is booked to leave for
San Francisco on the 23d of the month to
supervise the construction Of AS foot
dredge under construction in that city.
Yesterday he was rendered happy sur
prise by the inspectors who have been en-
gagged on the Cumberland. They called at
the Shannon House and presented him with
a diamond stick pin. The presentation
was made by E. K. Sharlow. In the party
were Captain J. E. Vaughn, J. D. Mayo, F.
}. Chase and O. c. Rode. Captain Patter-
son responded with a brief sreech.--Ex-

Smelt-fshing is now in its glory at Surry,

fish can be taken. The colonies of little
white tents on the ice make picturesque
scene. and greatly excite the curiosity of

the indications are that this winters catch
will be good one. The fish are shipped to
