A Belfast Artist Complimented.

Art lovers were attracted in great num-
hers on Wednesday, Dec. 23d, to the store
Of NJ. H. Andrews, where Hart L.. Wood
cock, the Belfast artist, had display of the
oils and water colors which have made his
aame famous throughout his native State
es, and much farther than that. The water
colors comprised views of the Maine coast
and street scenes in picturesque Nassau,
mat delightful old town in the Bahamas,
where the artist made long sojourn last
winter, and to which he is soon to return. The
Ills were chiefly studies in still life-fruits
and flowers. and they seemed to breathe
The soul of summer and the harvest time,
uch is the magic of Woodcock's brush and
close his sympathy with the subject
1t would require master in word-paint-
ng to describe he Maine coast views. "The
oming Storm" which depicts a feet of
dshermen running for harbOr before a rs-
ing tempest, is especially faithful in detail
and truthful in color, and it attracts the ad-
miring gaze of thousands, as it hangs in
Andrews window.
Mr.. Woodcock's Christmas sale has, as
always, been very success sful, art lovers re-
garding his works with high favor for their
general merit, and especially so for their
strong and agreeable individuality.-B

AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.

The Christmas tree and entertainment at
the Methodist church Christmas night were
well attended and gave the little folks and
others very enjoyable evening. The
music was by an orchestra composed of
E. NJ. Sanborn, violin; w. NJ. Thayer,
cornet; Geo. E. johnson, clarinet; Herbert
Harmon, bass. The exercises opened with
singing America by the audience, fol-
lowed by prayer by the pastor, Rev. G. E.
Edgett. A short program was presented as
follows:
Violin solo, Chas. a. Davis
Story, Mrs. Mary WhitmOre
Songs, Johnson sisters
Violin solo, Chas A; Davis.
Song, MISS SlDyl WOOD
Address, Rev. G. E. Edgett.
Music, OrcneStra
After the program the orchestra played a
march, to which Santa Claus, disguised as
Uncle Sam, marched in and proceeded to
distribute the presents from two well laden
trees The platform represented an old
time kitchen with huge fireplace. The
fireplace was built and painted by T. H.
Fernald and his class of boys, Ralph Bram-
hall and Roderick Edgett, artists. Mr..
Fernald represented Santa Claus.

NORTH CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL


At 3 p. m. last Friday the vestry of the
North Church was filled to overfiowing
with impatient children, anxious parents
and interested spectators. Shortly after
the hour the curtains were drawn, disclOs-
ing old Father Time, impersonated by
John R. Dunton. He was seated on the
stage, and as the poem read by Miss Caroline
". Field explained, trying to decide which
was the best day of all the year AS he
was thinking the holidays passed before
him in review. After a little rhyme was
read i'll came New Years Day, (Bennie
Parker) wearing high silk hat arc repre-
Senting the young year. Wishing happy
New Year to Father Time and the audience
he gave place to Valentines Day, Marian
Parker) who was dressed in white and
decorated with hearts and flowers. George
Washington (Ray Iindgrenl in a cooked
hat and carrying a representation OF the
historic hatchet, told his listeners that he
was first in war, first in peace, and first III
the hearts of his c0untrymen. Next
April FOOLS Day, Milton Stephenson
came dancing along, resplendant in cap and
turned IA very successful Somersault. May
Day, (Hazel McTaggart) was represented
by a diminutive May queen, who looked
very sweet in her flowing robes. She quite
won Old Father Times heart and allowed
BIN to kiss her hand. Decoration Day,
Charles Mills) draped in a flag and wear
ing wreath over his shoulder, gravely
saluted Father Time and the audience,
and was a striking contrast to the Fourth
of July Harry McTaggart) who entered
with flags flying to the merry roll OF the
drum he carried. A vigorous toOt of his
horn was signal for his departure, and
nksgiving Day (Marjorie Shaw a
sweet picture of an old fashioned house
wife with cap and apron, entered bearing a
pumpkin pie in one hand and in the other
turkey. Last of all came Christmas Bert
Davis) attired in furs and representing
Santa Claus. He sang a Christmas carol
and then Father Time announced his de-
cision lie thought all the days nice i'll
their way, but concluded that Christmas
was, all-around, the best. At this announce
ment all the others gathered on the stage
and led by April FOOLS Day gave three
rousing cheers for Christmas. Santa Claus,
with the aid Of some assistants, then went
to work distributing presents from the
tree. Some of the older young people ex-
changed particularly dainty and appropri-
ate gifts, while all the Sunday school chill
dren were remembered.

AN ALL SHORE LINE.
The Maine Central, Washington County and
New Brunswick Southern Railroads.

The Maine Central, Washington County and
New Brunswick Southern Railroads.
There is likely to be something doing iii
railroads at no distant day 1t seems to be
settled that the Washington County rail
way will pass into the possession of the
Maine Central and the building of bridge
across the st. CroiX to connect with the
New Brunswick Southern, will, it is be-
leved, be next in order. The latter road
has wharf privileges at st. John, which
can be utilized under this arrangement
The Rockland Star says:
The plan of the Maine Central railroad
has been to secure shore line route in
Maine and by the requirement of the
Washington County line that will be ac-
complished, except the extension of the
system from Rockland to Belfast, route
which was recently re-surveyed.
Looking at the railroad map of Maine it
will be seen that with the purchase or con
troll of the Washington County system the
Maine Central will have a through shore
line route from Portland to Eastport, with
the exception of the break between Rock
land and Belfast.
All sorts OF rumorS are atloat regarding
the plans OF the company, 1t is a surety
that the company is to bridge the kennebec
at Bath and that plan is surely not outlined
for the sole purpose of giving better service
to this terminal section.
In accordance with the development Of
Shore line route Camden with its growing
Importance will be taken into consideration
without a doubt and the line will be built
as intended as it has beeh surveyed. This
extension will be pushed To Belfast and
well known railroad man who has been
concerned with recent developments of rail
roading, says that the steamer Frank Jones
will in time make Belfast her home port,
starting thence eastward instead of from
Portland as at present This would cut off
more than hundred miles of practically

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.
MERRY MUSIC, HAPPY CHILDREN
AND GIFTS GALORE.

The SEWlNG SCHOOL ThEE.
This year the North church Y. P. S. C. E.
decided to give a Christmas tree for the
little girls of the sewing school, and all
through the month of December the chair
man of the missionary committee was busy
arranging for it. The President, Miss
Margaret nunton, offered her home for the
scene of the Christmas celebration, and at
three O'Clock the sixteen girls, preceded by
their teacher, Miss L. A. Mcdowell, walked
up the stairs and :after depositing their
wraps, played games for half an hour or so.
Rev. G. S. Mills, who had been invited to
meet the guests, then related the legend of
st. Christopher to an interested circle of lis
teners. In concluding, MIR. Mills regretted
that he was obliged to leave for a short
time, but announced that visit from Santa
Claus was expected shortly. The interval
before the arrival of the children's patron
saint was passed with continuation of
the games. Then jangling of the door
bell announced the arrival of Santa Claus,
who gave merry greeting to the as
sembled company, and invited them to
follow him into the next room, where a
heavily laden and brightly decorated
Christmas tree drew many obs! and abs !!
from the smaller children. The gifts,
which included fitted-out workbag or a
doll, handkerchief, a mounted picture, a
neckte or hair-ribbon, bag of candy and
an orange, were soon distributed to the ex-
tremely happy children. The height of
bliss was not reached, however, until the
curtains were drawn aside and the children
ushered out, reluctantly parting with their
treasures, even for a few minutes, to the
dining room, where thet tdaintily set tables,
decorated with holly, were the center of
attraction. The girls were served with
sandwiches, cocoa and whipped cream,
animal crackers, fancy cookies of all kinds,
pastry, marguerites, chocolate cake and
oranges Their feast over, and their respec
tive belongings gathered together, sixteen
supremely happy girls departed homeward.
The little girls, who have done remarkable
work under the direction of their efficient
teacher, will doubtless be able to add ex-
tended wardrobes to the outfits of their new
dolls.

passion of Mrs. Henry D. Clough, and tax
ing tin dipper she started on a round of
he employees, asking from each contribu-
ti0n of only five cents. Some insisted on
giving more and dropped silver quarters in
the dipper, which soon held $1,000 With
this money a nice suit of clothes, sweater
and underclotbes were bought, and Mr..
Shaw, the superintendent, contributed a
pair of shoes. If that boy was not happy
he ought to have been, and he has cause to
remember all his life the kind-hearted men
and women in the Belfast shoe factory.
