THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.

While wishing our readers a merry
Christmas and all the compliments of
the season, perhaps it may not be amiss
and may be interesting to many to note
few things in regard TO the origin of
Christmas and its celebration in differ
ent countries.
There is vast amount of literature
printed in reference to this joyous sea-
son but who knows the exact date of
Christ's birth, no one, therefore the 25th
of December may not be very definite,
but has been approximated as the near
est date possible to arrive at, and so
since the second century we have cele-
brated on this day, the birth of Christ.
There are references in the New Tes-
lament which lead one to the conclusion
that it was in the winter season when
the event occurred, and learned men
and theologians in the time of Pope
julius /, thoroughly informed them
selves upon the subject and set the
above date.
The Holy Land has contributed our
Christmas carols, so dear to the music
loving soul and which ring out so joy
ously and happily from many throats
in many lands. Christmas would not
be Christmas if music could not fill the
air.
We received our idea Of Christmas
trees from the East, and what is more
dear to the youthful heart than tree
laden with gifts and bright things. One
may substitute tire-places, ladders, ships,
booths, chimneys, etc, etc, but with
! never varying allegiance the child heart
will vote for the Christmas tree every
time if given the chance. Hanging our
stockings in the chimney is a custom
we take from France or Belgium and
what we might suppose belongs to us,
Santa Claus, the dear old fellow, halls
from Holland, all glorv TO her for the
creation of such a wonderful being and
| for allowing us such liberal use of him.
From England comes our mince pies,
plum puddings and some other things,
and what has been our national contri-
button? The turkey, which we feed
with such solictous care before the
holidays and can eat with the ap-
petite of an epicure Thanksgiving,
| Christmas and New Years days.
With all the aforementioned additions
to our own inventions and with the
| love Of Christ in our hearts, this Christ
mas holiday is the gladdest of all the
year. We make the most of il, the
children live in joyful anticipation half
the year. With what eagerness they
chatter about Santa Claus and what he
may be expected to bring them and
of the Christmas tree at home or
in the church. What happy times for
them. If we elders have out-grown all
| this enthusiasm and the myths are
myths no longer, keep up the custom
for the children, enter into the spirit of
the season and encourage their merry
makings You were young once your
self and enjoyed these things hugely
Give the children all the pleasure they
can get out of this Christmas festival.

CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS TRADE.

The holiday time is the merchants
harvest time. Our merchants have
shelves and counters loaded with goods
which the people want and will buy.
Windows and show cases are dressed
and trimmed with the prettiest effects
and we can but congratulate our enter
prising merchants on the artistic drap-
ing and arrangements of their show
windows \ handsome window at
tracts and people will pass into store
with handsome window when they
would go by one with no attempt at
showing goods to advantage.
Our Business men are enjoying large
trade this year which increases each
day until Christmas.
We are glad to see this manifestation
of prosperity and glad to note that
most of our townspeople do their shop
ping in their home town, realizing that
our merchants carry only tirst-class
goods and in whatever line, you will be
able to find what you want.

DYNAMITE CAR ABIAzE
Bravery Of an Engineer and Brake man Prevents Disastrous
 Explosion

COnneIlsville. Pa.. Oct. I2-Only for the extreme nerve of Engineer Archie Melee and Brakeman W. C. Keifrer of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad company. in extinguishing a blaze in the end of car laden with dynamite in the Baltimore and Ohio yards today. it is probable that the whole east end of the yards, includ- ing the shops. round house and thous- ands of cars. would have been des- troyed.
 How the car took fire is a mystery It had been in the yards only a short time when the end was discovered a blaze. Trainmen seeing the large sign Danger on the door fled in all directions.
 Engineer McFee and Brakeman Keiffer uncoupled their engine from its train and made flying run to the burning car, With buckets of water the fire was put out. but not before it had eaten it's way almost to tho explosive.

S'seoNery of American Engineers VIII save Twenty Million Dolsars on
 Panama Canal.

Chicago, Oct t2.-George Ehle. an American engineer with party of young college graduates. in four months made' aiseovcries about the Panama canal which the French engt nsers failed to make in fifteen years. Ills information makes it possible to solve the bafflin problem of the Chagres river fTeshets by diverting the stream to the Pacific coast. It alsJ releases 2O,O00, 900 for excavat- ing a sea level waterway This sn- norneement of the engineering work thus far done by the United States Panama Canal commission has been made before the Chicago Press CluB by Chief Engineer John Wallace, who recently returned from the isthmus
 In the explorations said the chief engineer, Resident Engineer George Ehle and his college lads endured harc. ships that it took American pluck to overcome. They spent four months m the tropical jungle tracig the course and source of the Chagres rlver, whose spring freshets. some times 40 feet high. so far have prov. cd an insuperable obstacle 10 a sea level canal.
 By the use of the data collected by the Elle party. Mir. Wallace said that 1t would be possible to divert the Chagres from the Carribean slope to the Pacific side of the isthmus. This could be done at an approximate cost of s16.000.000 releasing s20.0OO.0O0 of the $30,000, 900 destined for the con struction of the locks.
