FREE LUNCH COUNTER

The butcher bird is one of the wisest OF
the winged creatures. He has utilized even
the ugly barbbed wire fences, using the
pointed wires as hooks for his storehouse.
The farmers of California were surprised
to find the points of the wires, for yards
alta time, covered with dead. dying and
drying grasshoppers, field mice and beetles
They soon learned that they were placed
there by the wise little butcher bird
ganst time and need" 1t is an easy
matter to feast from the fence when food

1t is hard to cut through, especially when
very dry. and it splinters easily. White
wood takes stain well for rich even color,
is fine grained and rapid working wood
but warps on slight provocation. Both
whitewood and Georgia pine are lighter
than oak, but not 50 strong. The pine
shows considerable grain under the stain
and is especially good for light colored
stains. All of this of course is with
reference to oil stained furniture which
does not require the grain of the wood
to be filed as for vanish or polish. I'm,
less quarter sawed oak is used the differ
ence in the cost of the wood is not enough
to be considered, especially if mach work
is TO be spent on the furniture. Quarter
sawed oak stains better than plain oak,
especially tor snail surfaces, the grain not
being quite SO course, and then the char
acteristic flakes Of the wood add something

fashion out of checked gingham, Here is
one with cross stitch design in different

A Quaint Christmns Custom.

The burning of the ashen fagot is n
curious custom observed in Devon and
Somerset on Christmas eve. The
fagot consists of green ash sticks cut
lengthways and neatly fastened into
bundle with witty bands. At s
o'clock in the evening this is placed
on the fire With much ceremony, when
the family and invited guests are gath
cred round the hearth. The flames
lick round the bundle and, when the
first green withe holding the fagotS
bursts, glasses are raised and emptied
to "A Merry Christlnas' The break
ing of each bond is the signal for q
fresh toast Legend accounts for this
custom by the story that a fire of ash
wood warmed the stable at Bethlehem
while local tradition tells of green
wood fire kindled by Alfred the Great
during his lonely wanderings in Som.

WHITE HOUSE GIFTS.
Hew Santa CLAWS Comes to the Prea-
tdenfs annily,

Wagon loads OF gifts are received at
the White House at Christmas time.
They come from oil parts Of the coun-
try, the majority of them from persons
unknown TO the president and his wife.
These miscellaneous articles are the
private property of the recipients, and
the numerous parcels are placed i'll one
of the family rooms for examination.
They generally contain the names of
the donors and to all these notes OF
thanks are sent.
On Christmas eve all the employees
of the houSe-the clerical staff. the
ushers and the domestic servants are
given, through the established munifi-
cence of the president. a fine fat tur-
key. Fifty fowls, selected from the
best in the market, are purchased for
/ this event. so tllat everybody about the
famous malsion has reason for rel joic-
ing.
No one expresses his happiness with
q more beaming countcnancc than does

has been a member of the presidential
household since the beginning Of
Grants first term. Jerry was PreSi-
dent Grants cook, but in these days
he dustS the offices of the White House

The presidents and their advisers are
usually men of advanced years, and it
is to be second generation from them
that the White House looks for the frol-

1t is gratifying to note from the
records of the bureau of statistics that
our exports of cotton cloths for the

though nearly $5.000,0 600 less than in
1902 for a similar period The guam
tity sent abroad in 1901 was nearly
2S,000000 yards less than in 1908,
showing that we are getting better
prices. This 1904 increase in va'ue
was in exports to the Chinese empire

We'll Known Young Han Killed by a
 Falling Gate.

St. Johns, Ariz.. Nov. Especial correspondence of The Republican.)- Lacy Greer, one or the best known young men of Apache county, was ac- cidentally killed at Iolbrook station. yesterday morning about o'clock, by the falling Of a gate at the railroad stockyards. MT. Greer was a resident Of Concho and had gone to HoibroCk to ship some horses that he had sold and he went down to the corraIs early to turn the horses out. but wanted to keep some saddle animals in, so he and the buyer were hurrying to close the gates when the one he was pushing on came loose from it's hinges and fell on him. As the gate weighed about 800 pounds and fell so far and with such fierce. it seems sure that he was dead before he struck the ground. His body was brought here and will be buried from the conference- hail tomorrow morning.
 Lacy Greer was a native of Bosque county Texas, but he came to this part of Arizona when but a child Of four years. and long before there was an Apache county. His father, ThOm- as Greer, was the first treasurer o- Apache county, and the family have ever been the most wealthy and one of the most prominent Mormon fam flies Of this part Of Arizona. He mar rie1 early in life. and though only g years of age was the father Of seven children.

FRArERNAL FLUCTUATIONS
Eagles Held a Banquet, Saengerfest,
 and Christening Last Night.

The Eagles held high c9Inival again last night. There was 10 special oc- casion for 1t. as they have a way of holding high carnival every time enough of them get together to hold anything and that is most all the time. They did hatch out {. couple of young birds last night but that sort of an event has become common to the eagles who are multiplying in these parts like English sparrows in Boston. It was also regular night for nominating new officers. However. no excuse was needed. The Eagles just wanted to have a time, and they had it. In the first place they put aside the busi- ness of the night as quickly as possi- ble, then introduced everybody, not only the Eagles but all the old crows that had been invited by them to butt in. to the finest kind Ot a banquet, Ia HOghe's ranch. Aside from all kinds of salads. sandwiches and bottled joy, there was a list of table specialties as long as the table. IL included roast chicken a la road runner, roast EIz- gard, baked eagle on buttons, buzzard tears. eagle hearts devilled, celery de talons, roast goose and duck a la Eagle
 Next came the corn cob pipes of
 
 MissOuria ns and the rest of the world that eventually redeemed the state from the democratic slough of Des- pond. There was a pipe for everybody, and some left. And there was tobacco for all the pipes. And matches for all the tobacco.
 As the sensUOus OdOTs Of the weed intoxicated the fledglings that had so recently opened their eyes to such scenes of revelry, and brought solacc to the nervous /old roosters whose tail feathers are dropping one by one, there was introduced a very select pro gramTne of speechmakins, singing and instrumental music. Ar.ong those par ticipating were Prof. Curtis. Prof Schmidtie, E. J. Stelick, Frank Connol- ley, J. Nj. Burnett and J. L. B. AlaE- andeT. There were others who added
 their mite when called upon and not all the best things were down oh the ] prearrangcd programme. Some one l had placed the name of Leo Martin l EIoghe on the programme as orator Of l the occasion and he refused to be snub- bed. They had asked him for a speech | and they had to take their medicine. 1 It wasn't half bad either.
