THE CHRISTMAS DAY
Observed Throughout the City With Usual
Feryor and Good Cheer-A B]ustery
*:% Day With Lot of Snow For the Boys
~ To Try New Sleds On.

The Christmas tide was observed
in the city Saturday night and yester-
day in the old accustomed way and on
Christmas eve Santa Claus was busy
indeed getting around among the
churches and residences leaving good
cheer in his wake.
Among the places where exercises
were held that night were the Presby-
terrain and Baptist churches. At the
former large program was rendered
by the young folks and special choir
sang appropriate selections. There
was a very large number of the young
and old present to enjoy the festivities
and Santa Claus, in his graciousness,
distributed many pretty presents from
the tree as well as dainties to please
the tastes of the little ones.| In the
exercises at this church there was one
number that must be mentioned as
especially fine, that of the duet sang
by Masters Harry Beardsley and Ed
"Au WILL AAO, oOPAo AO duu d1LO l.
was beautifully and wonderfully sung
and the little men were required to
sing second time when even then the
audience had not enough.
At the Baptist church another large
program was rendered Saturday night
at which the young folks did them
selves proud. There was singing and
reciting that elected we'll merited ap-
plause and the general air of good
cheer reigned supreme. A letter writ
ten by the members of the church was
a fitting tribute to the pastor, Rev. Col
lop, to whom they attributed many
things that tend to make men loved.

from his own pocket necessary monies
to make up various deficits. The let
ter was one of COMMUNICATION and
acknowledgement from an apprecia-
tive congregation. Theirs was
pleasant and entertaining Christmas
eve celebration.
4. The exercises at the Methodist
church were held Friday night and
were spoken of in Saturdays issue.
They were on the usual large scale so
customary with the First Methodist
church Of this city which has probably
the largest Sunday school attendance
in the city.
At st. Mary's church High Mass was
celebrated at Midnight Saturday at
which there were many attending
other than the regular members of the
congregation. There was the usual
solemnity to the service and some ex-
ceptionally fine singing by a large
and well trained choir as we'll as some
fine solo work. Their Christmas tree
services were held yesterday after
noon.
Those holding their exercises Satur-
day night suffered great inconvenience
and annoyance on account of the con-
slant failing of the electric lights
which for some reason repeatedly
went out and lamps and lanterns of
every description were called hurriedly
into service.
christmas day, yesterday, was a
good day to stay at home and enjoy
the big dinner. 1t was bad day for
the proud bird called turkey" and his
remains were gloated over and stored
away with ghoulish glee in true keeping
with the wonted custom. The nativity
has gone to come another day and it is
hoped that the cheer of the past one
may be caused to spread itself through
the coming year and that the next may
follow another such year of abundance
as the one last past.

Farmers Lose Money,

Most of the successes in agriculture
are. only partial. Farmers as a rule
do not realize maximum returns for
their work and time. They lose mon
ey through lack of technical informa-
ton. Technical knowledge, coupled
with industry and prudence, compels
success. The Breeders Gazette is a
48 to 60-page illustrated live stock and
farm journal which brings every week
to the farmers home the latest and
most reliable information along these
basic lines. 1t tells him how, why and
when. It teaches economy through
improved methods and better live
stock. It helps the farmer to solve all
the problems which beset him in his
work. Its regular persual will enable
him to convert losses into profits
With its profusion of beautiful pic
lures of live stock and farm scenes,
and its columns of practical informa-
ton, to stimulates larger interest in
and love for the country, indicating its
pecuniary possibilities and emphasiz-
ing the wholesomeness and independ-
ence of rural life The Christmas
number of The Gazette, just from the
press, contains "a pages, and Is replete
with illustrations, many of them suit
able for farming, and artistically illus
trated articles, which are thrilling, in
structive, and enlivening, written by
writer's of national repute. This great

design printed in colors, is a mechani-
cal, literary and pictorial triumph up-
eQualed In agricultural journalism.

lowing up the trail. I bet he argued
half mile and at last he said he'd go
anyhow. let him go. He lived about
three minutes. BILL ! the rifles went :
just like that. There were fourteen /.
holes in his body when they found it.
I always believed that he gave Sitting
Bulls band the first notice that Custer
was coming-got 'em prepared to meet
the charge the way they did. &z
For in a minute there was shooting
all along the Horn. l. rode to the fork
and took the trail for Reno's command.
You know they caught Custer on a
hillside, and he made a running fight
backward up the hill. .... .sE-
when I came out on the summit,
there they were-the troops blazing
away in bunch, and the valley filed
with Indians as far as you could see,
riding in circles and blazing away as
they rode. How Reno would ever
make it out alive couldn't see, but it
was my business to get down to him,
so l spurred my horse and rode like
hell.
Wounded, but Reached Reno.
Il was half way down before the In
dams saw me coming, all alone, and
turned loose on me. was thirty yards
| away from our rear when I felt my
horse cave in and drop. He had got
it through the flank. I jumped up to
run for it-and got it-square through
the thigh. Somehow made it into the
line and up beside Reno. OF course,
the message was too damn late.
E'Well, it was simple hell, a whole
day of it. We laid out, thirsty and
done up, and the men fighting and
everybody expecting Custer. l can't
remember much. l was too sick.
Just remember this: Four hours be-
fore we were relieved the boys see q
bunch of men in blue army uniforms
come riding down the river. They
jumped out of the trenches and cheered
and threw up their hats, because they
thought it was the relief The mes
in blue uniforms turned and fired on
U.S. They were the Sioux, dressed in
the clothes they'd taken off Clusters
men, getting out becaus their scouts
had said that Cook was coming.
You'll remember that it says in all
the histories how Wagner's body was
found three-quarters of a mile from
the bunch of Clusters men. They fig
ure it out that he'd tried to get away
and the 1njuns had caught him on the
run. That's rot, as I've told you I've
always figured that Custer would "a

Dutchman hadn't got original"

THE LAW OF NOTION.
Effect of Dropping a Weight on and

Eject of Dropping a Weight on and
Off Moving Car.
If person were to jump into the
air from the floor of car in a rapidly
moving train his feet would reach tile
floor in direct line to the very spot
from which he jumped, in accordance
with the second law of motion, which
says: If there be two or more causes OF
motion taking place in two different
right lines, whether inherent in the
body or external to it, their effects do
not interfere, nor does either diminish
or augment the effect Of the other In
other words, when force acts upon
body in motion the change Of motioB
which it produces is in the direction
and proportional to the magnitude of
the force which acts. Those who move
on railroad at the rate of thirty mileg
an hour, or forty-five feet in a second,
do not find the relation in which they
stand to the objects in the car in any
degree changed by the velocity. Take
a stone by way of Observation-Disclosures
Of the person jumping-and it. like the
passengers, has a common motion on
ward with and derived from the train,
and when let fall from the hand it re-
tains that motion during it's descent
At the beginning Of its fall it would
have the speed of the train in a horizon
tai direction, and gravity would act
upon it in vertical direction, and it
would fall as if the car was without
motion. II the stone be dropped out

In a Washington paper sent the
Tribune by Charley Gurley, is the fol-
lowing regarding VIM. MCGEE, the al
legged Custer survivor" recently ar
rested on a charge of stabbing COM
panion in quarrel at restaurant:
while waiting for his hearing be-
fore Magistrate Pool, in the: Yorkville
police court, MCGEE told the story of
his part in the Custer fight. 1t has
been told before in the west. OF the
doomed three hundred who were in
that fatal and glorious charge, only
one came out alive. That was Curley,
a scout, who disguised himself in
war bonnet and sneaked away. This
man MCGEE was of the detachment,
but not in the charge; he had been
sent back not ten minutes before to
carry message of Maj. Reno.
He is queer figure in a New York
court. The experienced eye would
spot him anywhere for the old plains
man and gun fighter. Small, erect,
alert, iron gray, all his movements
have a catlike ease and precision. His
step is quick, flatfooted, silent. His
feet point straight forward as he
walks. Under his brows are the
straight glancing, blue-gray eyes which
go with straight shooting. He said.

Cluster had set his watch with
Reno's and they were to charge from

same time. They agreed to that wher
they split forces. But Custer couldn'1
make it as fast as he wanted. He was
afraid that Reno would charge before
his own detachment got up. He called
me and Wagner, his trumpeter. He
said:
