The Knoll was the property OF Mrs
Marsh. but she mad not cared to live
there since the death OF her husband
five years ago.
eThe absurdly low rent and the dis.
covery that The Knoll had changed
tenants zine times within five years
made my father dubious whether this
seemingly charming haven of rest
might not prove defective in the
matter of drains or water supply.
We went In at midsummer, and by
Christmas were so well satisfied that
we had fallen upon a bargain that my
father was about making arrange
ments for purchasing. when an in
cident occurred which altered our
desire to possess this picturesque
cottage.

Turkey Dishes for
the Day After Christmas
IN .,,,,,,; ,,,,,,s,

After your Christmas dinner you
will find probably that you have a
goodly portion of turkey left. This
has happened great many times be-
fore, and as result many ways have
been devised for preparing these left
over scraps of turkey meat This
does not mean the meat can be simply
arranged on a platter and eaten as it
is.
A salad made of the white meat OF
turkey is as good. if not better, than
chicken salad. Take one cup OF
turkey meat, rather coarsely chopped;
one cup of celery, also rather coarsely
chopped; the whites of three hard
boiled eggs, also chopped. Put the
yolks of the hard-boiled eggs into a

again were confronted by the cold,
shadowy form of the dead man The
agent took one glance, and, putting up
sight, exclaimed in husned, Mortified
tones:
1T is he, sir, il is Mr.. Marsh,"
Explanation there was none. Sleep
in that house another night not one OF
us would. Late though it was, we
walked into Sea Vale and took rooms
until such time as we could remove
our belongings. The agent wrote Mrs
Marsh q full account of what he
himself itn, ssed.
The following day brought him a
letter from Mrs. Marsh, who com
menced by expressing her thankful
ness to have at last discovered the
reason why she could not keep a
tenant. Having no portrait of her
husband she had a cast taken after
death and bust executed by we'll
known sculptor. This bust she felt
sure was not a thing strangers would
care TO have about. Therefore when
she let The Knoll furnished, it was
placed on the top of the oak cabinet
facing the dining-room door. That
| it was the reflection of this bust
thrown upon the hall window she had
but little doubt. She requested the
agent to ask my father to go with
him to The Knoll and see for himself.
We are still living at our beautifur
cottage, and often we congratulate
ourselves upon the fortunate dis
covery of an optical Illusion, which,
upon the removal of the bust. happily
freed us from the presence of "The
Man at the Window"

OLD CAROL.

Now that the time is come wherein
Our Savior Christ was born,
The larders full of beef and pork,
The gamers filed with corn,
As God hath plenty to thee sent,
Take comfort of thy labours,
And let it never thee repent
To feast thy ready neighbors.
Let fires in every chimney be,
That people they may warm them;
Tables with dishes covered,
Good victuals will not harm them;
With mutton, veals, beef, pig and pork
Well furnish every board,
Plum-pudding, furmity and what
Thy stock will then afford

My father and the boys treated
Madge's alarm and Rannahs de-
termination to leave as a huge joke,
until one night when | had forgotten
to draw the blind. Bernard, my young
est brother, went from the drawing
room. where we all were. to fetch
something from the diningroom.
Father" he called, come here
quickly. The sharp ring of terror or
pain-we could not tell Wilhelm his
voice made us all follow my father
into the hall
Lock-" cried Bernard. who with
blanched face stood midway between
the diningr room and the hall window,
is that old Marsh?"
There, sure enough, in the upper
part of the window. we all could dis.
tlnctly see the head and shoulders of
an ella man. The features set, the
eyelids closed, as in the awful still
ness of death. In life it could not
have been other than an unpleasing
face; but, with the seal of death ad-
ding to its GOODNESS and hardness, it
appeared positively nideous.
This must be cleverly played
trick said my father. going close up
to the glass and peering out. But the
cold, still face seemed to mock him.
for there it was, in shadowy outline
against the laurels.
He and the boys searched around
the bushes; but nothing could they
see or hear. Hour after hour we kept
going out into the hall TO see If the
shadowy form of the old man were
still there. Yes. there it was, and its
very immovableness added to its hor-
rible fascination. 1t was long after
midnight before we could be per-
suaded to dispense, although father
upon his return from putting out the
lights In the diningroom, thankfully
informed us that the horrid face had
disappeared.

Now he who knows Old Christmas,
He knows wight of worth,
For he's as good fellow
As any on the earth;
He comes warm-cloaked and coated,
And buttoned to the chin;
And ere he is anigh the door,
We ope to let him in.
Oh, he's a rare old fellow;
What gifts he gives away!
There's not Lord in England
Could equal him to-day
Good luck unto Old Christmas,
Long life now let us sing;
He is more kind unto the poor
Than any crowned king.

THIRTY YEARS AWAKE
Then He Quit Coffee and Found Re- ' 's@ ff -~!' :freshfn6 Sleep.

Coffee causes insomnia and physicians are agreed that this is one of the most distressing Of all nervous complaints. It is seldom indeed that man who has reached the advanced age of S1 years is entirely cured of insomnia of 30 years standing. An old gentleman of Phila. says: T have been a great sufferer for many years from insomnia. l am S1 years of age and can truthfully say that until I quit coffee and commenced the use of Posturn Food Coffee had not known real refreshing sleep for more than 30 years.
 'Postum was prescribed for me by my doctor, who made me quit coffee. have now used Postum for more than years and it's good effects are both won- derful and permanent. I regard it as a good friend not only as a remedy for coffee ills but as a pleasant and nour- ishing food drink with a fine flavor. Several of my friends are using it to great advantage and think it much SUD- erior to coffee.

the surrender at Appomattox brought joy to their hearts as they saw the glo- rious ending of the most desperate war of ancient or modern times.
 As we look over this audience tonight we can see men who followed Grant in the Wilderness and Sherman to the sea; men who helped to defend the heights of Gettysburg and prevent the invasion of the north; men who were with Thomas, Fighting Joe Hooker, Phil Sheridan and our own gallant and be- loved Terry; men who with Farragut sailed through the fierce engagements of the Mississippi river and planted the Stars and Stripes over the ramparts of the southern forts along it's banks; men, who suffered the tortures of Anderson vile, Castle Thunder Bell Island and Libby Prison, men who lived to com- plete the work for which their comrades died because they loved their country and desired to perpetuate freedoms holy name by breaking the shackles which bound human lives in slavery. Yes, my friend, we can ever be proud of the record of the Boys in Blue" from our own state, which shines as bright before us to-day as the silvery stars of heaven.
 Of over two millions of men enrolled in the Union army during the war, less than one million now remain. Each year sees many of their number cross the river to join their comrades on the golden shore of eternity, where in peace and in joy they await the coming of those they left behind. As we see them to-day with bent and enfeebled forms and heads through age crowned with silvery white. can we not detect a gleam of gladness in their eyes as they see the youth of their land paying a tribute of love to our brave old soldiers living, and their comrades dead.
 My friends, it will not be long before the bugle notes sound and the last brave spirit of that noble band takes its flight to the home beyond the seas. Then it will be for us who remain to continue the glorious work so we'll begun. Let us stand firm by our duty, and with the same feeling of love and patriotism in- culcated into our lives by the glorious history of the past, renew our fidelity to the Union and resolve that, in war or in peace, in life and unto death, our hopes, our prayers, our efforts and our work, will be for our flag and our country's good.
 Let us remember when the morning dawns and We meet to decorate with springs fragrant flowers the graves of those who wore the blue, that friends in the south pay the same tribute of love to those who wore the gray; not with a spirit of envy against the nation, but rather with feeling of sadness over the crueIness of that unnatural war. To-day there is no north or no south, but, on the contrary, one people, one flag and one nation.
 Oh, hearts that are weary over wars desolation, hearts that tonight are pining for loved ones gone. dry your tears of sadness by :, thinking of the grand nation their loss has left you, which for humanity will continue to stand as a living monument of peace, happiness and prosperity as the ages go on.

 ADDRESS OF MIR. ORR.
 Some times a beautiful blue sky, frightened by the refiecting rays of a noon- days sun, which makes all nature attire Itself in one grand robe of hap piness, becomes blighted by the ap- pearance of the storm-king's dark roll ing clouds, which hide for a time the grandeur cast upon the earth from the great blue canopy of heaven. The winds howl and moan through the val leys, over the hills and dales, crashing torrents of rain against earth's green verdure, darkening humanity's dwell- ing places, and causing the mighty ocean 10 heave its great laundering waves shoreward. The lightning fash es and the fearful thunderbolts are heard screaming through the darkened sky. The mothers draw their young closer to their sides and all living crea- lures tremble with fear at the raging storm Suddenly gleam of light, pier cling its bright rays through the intens darkness, isseen. Gradually the winds die out and the ocean becomes more calm. The heavy clouds drift apart and again the warm sun sends its stream of light over the earth. A beautiful rainbow appears in the sky, and everything seems smiling with gladness at the passing of the storm.
 So it has been with this young repub- lie of the west. Starting out to take its position among the nations of the earth, full of life, determination and hope, doing everything to make it's cit izens peaceful, contented and happy, forging ahead on the road of progress, awaking the tyrannical powers of the old world to realization of the fact that humanity had become weary of it's bondage, and craved for the opportuni- ty to throw off the yoke which had bound 1t in mind and body alike for centuries. At last that opportunity came, the hope that had filled the hearts of all lovers of freedom was about to be realized within the borders of a new country, whose protecting wings were gently spread over the ap- pressed of every cline. From almost every part of the known world did the oppressed tide of humanity make it's pilgrimage to this new found home of freedom, where loving hearts and will ing hands cast upon it the cherished mantle of free thought, free speech and obedience to the peoples will.
 From the Huguenots of France to the child of sunny Italy; the bold English pioneers and the good-natured Ger man, the mild Norwegian; stern Rus sian; brave Scotchmen and gallant sons of Ireland, from all of the Euro pean countries did the different classes of people continue to come to this God given republic of ours, where they found the peace and happiness for which they had so long hoped. Here they toiled and mingled together until at last they were enrolled as one large human family on the pages of Ameri- can history. It was difficult at first for so many classes of people, with as many different customs and languages, to fully understand each other, but
