The birthdays of Mr.. Holmes have come
to be looked forward to, not alone by him
self, TO whom they are the brightest days
of the fast-fleeting years, but also 10 the
friends and acquaintances he has made
during his eleven years residence IN ran
dolph. Each ninth of June he invites a
quota of them to the cosy little home on
South street that he and ms talthlul
daughter-in.la law, Mrs. Mary Holmes, have
fitted into a perfect bower OF content
ment-just such a nest as all Of us would
like to spend our declining years in. This
wear these priced invitations were accept
ed by about twenty-five persons who, after
presenting most cordial greetings, listened
TO a w~ell-spoken, fervid welcome from the
old man who values friendship more ana
more as time goes On. About the room
we're flowers In abundance, roses and car
nations. Rev. V. NJ. Hardy, Mr.. Holmes,
old pastor, warmly returned the thanks OF
the company and dwelt on memories he
held of his friend, giving him so many
good words that the host said, as he led
the way to the dining room, my, you ala
barney me tremendously III
Here the guests were served with cholce
refreshments prepared by the geIt hanus
OF Mrs, Holmes, Misses Mary T~ewksbury
and Grace Lamson passing them, Ihe
health of Mr.. Holmes was drunk In true
English style.
Letters were read from Prof. Henry
SAWYER OF Washington, ID. c., Miss Helen
of Gofstown, n. H., and Mrs. ?. z.
Lamson. also from Prof. j. T. Trow bridge,
author of "My Own Story which tale
seemed so TO parallel Mr.. Holmes life that
he wrote the author and received a nice
note in return.
Mr.. Holmes has lost none OF ms nlmble
wit, quick repartee or bluffness, and added
to the pleasure of his guests by anecdotes
and "reminiscences. He was born IN
Devonshire, England, and came to this
country when a young man.. For many
years he engaged successfully In the trunk
and saddlery business in Boston. He has
about 70 living descendants, many OF
whom were heard from on his birthday.
Among his stories Mr.. Holmes told how,
when a mere youth, he had his hat
Knocked off by the future Queen Victoria,
then a miss Of eight. He was standing on
the street looking at Lady Byron, recently
widowed, when the little royalist, being
under the impression that he was not
showing proper respect for her exalted
station Though he had not noticed her
before stepped up and knocked his new
hat into a mud puddle. He turned and
said to her, you're a naughty little
girl ~ and her chaperone, the Duchess OF
Clarendon, also reproved her in his hear
ing for her rudeness.

Ninety-three years is indeed a ripe old
age. II covers a period during which
many great events have happened, many
great men and women have lived, many
glorious deeds have been done. When a
man has attained that age and retains his
mental faculties, looking back over this
long stretch Of years, he can truthfully
say, as Mr.. William Holmes did last

schools and of other institutions hav-
ing the same end in view, presented to
the board of control conference here,
Fitzgerald of Mitch

on the astonishing number of girls
from country towns who enter rescue
homes. Some one has said that "God
made the country, man made the city,
but the devil made the small towns
This reminds me-" said Superin.
tendent Fitzgerald, that as fair
basis upon which to make rough cal
culation, might state that not 100

inhabitants where in the short space
of two years. twelve girls Of respect,
able families have fallen.

COLD WEATHER 0. K.
oTTuMwA MERCHANTS SAYS
SNOW OF LAST SUNDAY WAS
A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
Business Has Moved With Rush
This Week - Holiday Things Are
On Sale Everywhere - Holly and
Other Decorations Hero.

1.-THE best news you can print this
week is that the snow of Sunday was
the best possible Christmas present
given to the ferchants Of this city,
said local grocer today, as he rub
bed his hands in gleeful satisfaction.
There has been a rush Of buyers of
seasonabie goods since the cold
weather began and trade this week
has been very good indeed,
Most of the local grocers have re-
ceived their Christmas holly, ever
green and mistletoe. The holly has
been taken from the huge boxes in
which 1t comes woven daintily into
garlands and wreaths and strung
temptingly in the windows. The gar
land by the way Is new idea. Twelve
years ago garland was hardly ever
seen. Now they are feature OF the
Christmas decorations in almost every
home that can afford one.
Holly is Popular.
Holly Is exceedingly popular in this
city and few homes are so poor that
a bit of 1t doesn't brighten the house
at Christmas time. 1t is hardy and
holds its bright green color for weeks
and the red berries lend tinge OF
color which pleases. Mistletoe does
not stay fresh as long and Is not car
ried in such quantities as the holly
Most of the holly and mistletoe re
ceived here comes from the southern
states. The evergreens Of which the
garlands are made come from north
ern Wisconsin, where they grow III
around the base of a big tree in much
the same manner as do ferns in this
country.
