cHRIsrMAs TREASURES.

l count my treasures DER with care
A little toy that baby knew,
A little sock of faded hue,
A little lock of golden hair.
Long years ago this Christmas time,
My little one-my all to me-
Sat robed in white upon my knee,
And heard the merry Christmas chime,
"Tell me. my little golden head,
If Santa Claus should come tonight,
What shall he bring my baby bright.
What treasure for my boy!" I said.
And then he named the little toy,
While in his round and truthful eyes
There came a look OF, glad surprise
That spoke his trustful, childish Joy,
And, as he lisped his ev'ning prayer
He asked the boon with baby grace
And, toddling to the chimney place
He hung his little stocking there.
That night, as frightening shadows
crept,
/ saw the white-winged angels come
With music to pur humble home,
And kiss my darling as he slept.
He must have heard that baby prayer
For in the morn, with glowing face
He toddled to the chimney place
And found the little treasure there.
They came again one Christmas-tide
That angel host, so fair and white,
And, singing all the Christmas night
They lured my darling from my side
A little sock, a little toy,
A little lock Of golden hair,
The Christmas music on the air,
A-watching for my baby boy.
But if again that angel train
And golden head come back for me
To bear me to eternity,
My watching will not be in vain.

WATCHING FOR SANTA CLAUS.

WATCHING FOR SANTA CLAUS.
From Florida's golden orange-groyes
To rocky shores Of Maine,
A million happy children watch
For Santa Claus again.
They sit together round the fire
And will not go to bed,
But listen for the silver chime
OF sleigh-bells overhead.
= They picture him a jolly man
With beard of flowing white,
And eyes that twinkle like the stars
Upon q frosty night.
They wish for all the gorgeous gifts
The g~littering shops display;
He could not bring the half they want
In his capacious sleigh.
The child Of luxury awakes
On Christmas morn to find
A wealth of rare aud costly toys
OF every shape and kind,
But scattered on the nursery floor
Neglected soon they lie,
With battered wheels and broken
springs,
Or legs and arms awry.
Among the crowded tenements,
Up many a narrow stair
The dawn goes stealing like a ghost
To find no Christmas there,
But empty hands and lonely hearts
Where Joy and mirth are not,
And baby faces pinched and pale
BY Santa Claus forgot.
But bark, was that the winter wind,
That shook the chimney tall,
And made the SCOT in flaky showers
Upon the hearth-stone fall?
Lo! while the drowsy golden heads
Are noddinG in a row
The saint has filed their stockings up
And vanished in the snow.

Little David Finley.

There are few children upon the
stage today as young as little David
Finlay. who are entrusted with so i'm
pOrt5nt a part as that which he is now
playing with great success in The
Secret of Polichinelle," which will be
at the Opera House. Nov. "a.
Little David is but six years old. yet
during the second act Of the play he is
one of if not the most important char
acter upon the stage and carries the
burden of the scene with unconscious
ease and naturalness.
Although but six years old. David
has been upon the stage three years,
appearing first in Lovers Lane"
next with Ole Oleson and. last season
in midsummer Nights Dream"
He was born in New York. over on
the east side somewhere. and, contrary
to the rule with child actors. does not
come of theatrical family. His UNI
doubted talent for acting was first no.
ticed in a daily kindergarten school
which ne attended. The learning OF
"pieces to speak" was play to this lit
tie boy, who soon attracted the atten-
ton of his teachers on account of his
unusual talent. Finally. his mother.
in order to assist in the support of the
family. took him around to the various
managers offices in New York until

Bertha Galland in Dorothy Vernon Of
Haddon Hall"

One of the best known and gifted OF
our young stars, in last seasons great
est New York success. will be seen at
the Opera House next Tuesday. Nov
-, when Bertha Galland appears in
Paul kester's decentralization of Charles
Majors celebrated historical romance
dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hail.
Wherever Miss Galland has appea
in her new play the production has
been pronounced as complete and as
beautiful as anything ever seen in that
city. while the charm of her art
which for the first time is given fun
scope. was the subject of the kind Of
enthusiastic praise that would turn
the head of less sensible young wo-
man.
Miss Galland's leading man is Orrin
Johnson. who has filled q similar posi-
ton with Annie Russell, Maude Adams
ana other well known actresses. In the
cast and appearing in prominent roles
are Frank I.osee. Fred w. Peters Ed
ward S. Grant, Helen Tracey. Kate
Denim Wilson, Helen Bell and Mary
Faber
The scenery was painted and con-
structed from actual photographs of
the place. The exteriOrs are by
Ernest GnOs. while Ernest Albert has
reproduced some of the beautiful in
teriors of Haddon Hall. The fact that
practically whole wing of this ia
nous example of medieval architecture
has actually been built on the stage
will give some idea of the massiveness
of the production.
The seat sale will open this morning
at o'clock.

ly get their just deserts by being made
to realize that the Iactice is an ex-
pensive one for them, if they are de-
tected. Two cases IF this kind have
been reported to the fish and game de-
partment, this week. both of which
were heard before Judge Dunn. Tues
day at the municipal court in Oldtown.
The first case was that of Henry
Nelson of kingman, Who was prose-
cuted for killing a hull moose in Au-
gust. for lumber camp, at which h
was at work. Nelson was fined $500
but appealed from the decision. and
gave bonds for appearance at the
February term of the Supreme Court,
at Bangor.
The other case was that of John
Doyle of Millinock-t. who was arrested
and brought before the court on a
charge OF killing a COW moose. DOYLE
killed the COW. and after cutting off her
head, buried it. He claimed that the
animal was a bull, and that while he
had gone after a team to haul out the
"arcas3. some one had stolen the head.
Enough evidence was found. however,.
where he had dressed the carcass to
prove that the animal was a COW. and
Doyle finally decided to plead guilty.
upon which he was fined $500 Doyle is

and the court. taking that fact into
consideration. allowed him to pay the
fine by installmentS
