Christmas tree in Government
Office is rather unusual. but it is the
practice to have one every year in the
office Of Charles VI. Irelan. chief clerk
Of the Patent Office. The tree is a little
joke on the clerks in the office. and the
leaven of fun az the beginning of the
holiday season meets with the approval
OF Comm missioner Allen, who agrees with
the "all work and no play adage
his year the Christmas tree takes
the form of holly branches scattered
over the outlines of the good ship
Mayfowcr. According to his own story,
Mr.. Irelan did not spend all his time
studying the rule of three, while In
school. but devoted some of his youth
ful moments to constructing wonder
ful things out of a single sheet Of
paper His youthful studies came back
to him when the time for the tree came
around. and out OF a large sheet Of
slim paper he has constructed a May
flower worth going miles TO see.

TUESDAY, CATTLE DAY.

The Newtown fair opened, Tuesday,
with perfect fall weather. Sunday s
heavy thunder storm had cleared the
atmosphere and the fine weather of
Monday and Tuesday were just what
was needed to give the fair an auSpi-
cious opening. The attendance on
Tuesday was not far from 1850. a very
good number for cattle day. The cat
tie arrived on the grounds early, the
exhibit including about 80 pair of oxen
and steers, and good number of COWS
and other stock. 1t was the best and
largest exhibit OF cattle the fair has
been favored with in the last few
years. The management and judging
OF the cattle was ably and vigorously
looked after by two energetic directors,
Herbert w. Wright and Robert G.
Mitchell. Among the well-known ca t.
tie men present were such men as A mos
