Flowers for the Holidays.

The fine green houses at Castle Grove
are now radiant with roses, carna-
tions and other treasured blooms in
season about the holidays. Heavy ship
ments are made daily to New York
and Philadelphia.
The green houses are a source of
great delight TO our townspeOple, some
of whom may be seen at Castle Grove
every day All are courteously re-
ceived by Mr. Cotter, whose expert
ence and rare skill rs a foriculturist
are so eloquently attested by the vari-
cd and abundant product of the green
houses.
The season of the chrysanthemum is
now over and the large house filled
with these blooming beauties a month
a go is now bare and deserted spot.
Instead of the chrysanthemum, reign
carnations and roses along with the
delicate and fragrant mignonette.
There are variety of carnations and
they all are charming, but the beau
tiful Prosperity carnation, the
choice of the late John r. Bennett, is
easily queen of the whole collection.
The rosesIare blooming in all their
arieties-American Beauty, Brides
Roses, Bridesmaids, Liberty, Killar-
ney and WELLESLEY. From the Office on
throughout the several large green
houses the air is redolent with the
odor-of roses.

BOROUGH COUNCIL
PAYS AWARDS

The Borough Council held special
meeting Saturday night for the pur-
pose of winding up proceedings rela-
tive 10 the claims presented by Marga-
ret Schuster and three other property
owners on Mill street for damages sus-
tanned by the change OF grade when
the new pavement was laid on that
thoroughfare. President Gibson was
in the chair. Other members present
were Reifsnyder, Vastine, Boyer,
Goeser Law, Dietz, Sweisfort, Ma
gill, Jacobs and Hughes.
The assessment of damages was made
last February, the following persons
being the viewers George w. West,
]. II. Brugler, Samuel Werkheiser,
Jno. W. SweiSfort. r. J. Pegg, and
o. b. Sweitzer.
Damages were assessed as follows
Margaret Schuster, $3.50; Frances
Hartman, $500; Joseph Sperring ct
al. 1854; Mrs Cousart estate, Sl75.
Council excepted 10 the report OF
the viewers and proceeded to appeal.
Il looked for awhile rs if the whole
matter would have to be settled i'll
Court. Council finally agreed to pay
the amount of damages assessed, de-
Quoting what might be due for the
Borough for sidewalk and street paw
ing.
On this basis, it seems, settlement
was effected and the special meeting
Of Council Saturday night was held
for the purpose of paying the awards.
In addition to paying the property
owners after making the proper de-
ductions, costs amounting to $76. 80,
covering the fees of viewers, Sheriff,

A Real Santa Claus.

Who is Santa Claus, and where does
he live?
If you love him-if he is real to you
you know who he is, for he lives in
the depths of your heart.
Do you write him letters telling him
what you want? Do you see his rein
deer scudding across the starry sky in
your dreams? Does his jolly round face
peep in at your window TO see if you
are good and go TO sleep early? viii
you listen for the patter of his feet on
the roof Christmas eve, as he scram-
bles TO your chimney?
No?
Then you are not one of his little
folk.
Does his sweet name call to your
mind the dearest little face in the
world, with its perfect faith shining
out Of its big, serious eyes, as it told
you what TO tell Santa? And as you
cheerfully work your way through the
throng of shoppers, never minding the
jostling and pushing, does your heart
swell almost to bursting with just the
pure delight of finding what Santa
will bring? As you see thin, wistful
faces pressed against toy-shop wind
ows, do you wish that you could buy
for the whole world full of children,
so that every little face, of rich or
poor, might be radiant with gladnesS
on Christmas morning? Do you bur
den yourself with bundles and sneak
around TO the back door ts evade cur
ious little prying eyes, and feel no
jealousy because their jubilant thanks
will be all for Santa Claus and none for
yourself?
You do?
Then you are grown-up child, in
whose heart the jolly old elf still makes
merry the spirit of love and good Will
is still within you; you are Santa
Claus.
If YOU give just because you know
your friend will give and you must
pay up; if you give what you have no
right to afford and feel no pure JOY in
the giving; or if you do not give at
all-then something is wrong; your
childish image Of Santa Claus is dim
and faded or gone.
Don't give him up!
Seek out some little friend, some lit
tie acquaintance, or better still, some
little child of misfortune, and make
him glad His touching belief will
bring back your own.
Be TO him a Santa Claus your gain
will be greater than his.
New life will throb through your
being.
The bells will ring in sweeter chime ;
the holly berries will CLEAN with a
brighter hue; all the earth will be
good and at peace, if you look through
Santa Claus eyes. There will be heart
ia your Merry Christmas -

New Siding Is Completed.

The new d. l.. & w. siding at the
Salvation Army barrack was complet
ed yesterday The work was pushed
along very rapidly, considering the
fact that the switch was begun as late
as last Wednesday For the first few
days only the two crews of trackmen
were employed, whose sections meet
at this city, but later other crews were
gathered up along the line and brought
to the scene of operations, the number
of men at work yesterday being about
forty.
Coincident with the laying of the
track an immense amount of filling up
was done about the spot, the construct
ion train being employed, which
brought cinder here from other points.
The switch is not only ballasted upon
a level with the main track, but all
the space between is filled up and
graded over. The switch will be avail
able for general use at almost any
time. The remOdeling of the barracks
TO make them suitable for stable and a
place for storing Pocono ice as con-
templated is work that can be leis-
ureIy accomplished during the winter.

National Guard and its Doings.

ment, Battalion Adjutant Duffield
and Lieutenant Baker, of Company
d, have been appointed prlyates on
the new State police force. Lieuten
ant Baker will not accept but Lieu
tenant Duffield has gone to his troop
headquarters to report. This will
mean a vacancy in the office of bat
talon adjutant since the two forces
are liable to be on duty at the same
time and for the additional reason
that it takes the officer not only out
of the bounds Of his command but out
of his brigade.

Use All rIoney at Once.

Deputy Attorney General Fleitz has
advised Highway Commissioner Hunt
er that, in building roads with State
money, he need not confine himself to
using any one county's appropriation
for the year only The money appro-
priated by the Legislature was for Il
period of four years, and Deputy
Fleitz says that to facilitate matters,
Commissioner Hunter may use Il
county's entire appropriation at once,
i'll his discretion, but that he must al
low no county more than its pro rata
share of all of the money.
1t will be recalled that Dauphiu
county lost its share because of OBJ

HARRY QUINN
FOUND DEAD

Harry Quinn, an employe of Foust
Bros. was found dead at the Germania
Brewery Monday morning.
The deceased had been employed at
the Brewery on and off for some years
and was well known about town. For
the use of the employees the proprietors
keep sleeping room furnished on one
Of the upper floors of the Brewery.
This room for some time past has been
occupied by Quinn.
Monday morning when J. w.
Shut another employe, appeared at
the Brewery about O clock the deceas-
ed had not arisen. Mr. Shut went up
stairs to see what was OBTAINING the
man and found him still in bed. He
took hold of Quinn, shook him and
told him it was time to get up. The
man seemed so sound asleep that Shut
remarked:
"All right then; You can sleep
awhile longer, after which he went
down stairs
\ short time afterward another en-
ploye went up stairs and tried to
arouse Quinn. The discovery was
then made that the man was dead, al
though the body was still warm. DR.
Barber responded to call, but Of
course there was nothing that "A physi-
clan could do. Death was undoubted-
ly due to heart failure.
Justice of the Peace W. v OgleSby
took the matter up, but after visiting
the brewery and making an investiga-
tion ne felt convinced that death was
due to natural causes and that an in
quest was not necessary. The body
was removed to the undertaking es-
tablishment of George w. Roat, where
it was held pending arrangements for
burial.
The deceased was thirty-six years of
age. His parents are dead. but he is
survived by one brother, James Quinn,
whose whereabouts are not known, and
two sisters, Miss Kate Quinn, and Dora,
. mrs. Weaver both of whom reside
in this city.

you, on moonlight night, with a calm
sea and soft, pleasant air, in the Medi-
terranean. for example, Christmas
eve aboard great ship is something
for most passengers to remember. I'm
sure | can't imagine anything more
charming.
The band plays lively music, and the
passengers dance on deck, but if they
imagine they are the only ones aboard
ship who are celebrating Christmas eve
they are mistaken. If they were to
look into the fOrecaStle they would
see another Christmas tree there, also
covered with little decorations and
gifts-the sailors tree. For, you know,
a German is only half a German with
out tree on Christmas eve, and every
German ship has one.
Long before the ship sailed from
her home port on the Christmas voy-
age friends and relatives of each sailor
prepared some little presents, which
they sent forward in care of some ac-
quaintance i'll the crew so that their
particular sailorman might have his
surprise at the right time. OF course
these gifts are inexpensive, for the
sailors family has little money to
spare, but a pipe, warm stockings or
some such article is received aboard
the vessel and carefully kept until the
proper time. when all are hung on the
tree. The company gives the sailors
little wine or beer and Christmas cakes.
This APPLIES also to the tiremen, who
have a tree of their own in their room.
So. as YOU will see. there are usually
as many rs three trees aboard the ship.

Fountain Turned Off.

The water was turned off at the pub
lie fountain yesterday and from now
until spring it will be out of commits
sion.
The fountain has been a fine success
at its present location, accomplishing
in the fullest the noble mission that
the members of the W. c.. T. U. had
in view when they presented it to the
Borough. 1t was favorite watering
place for horses and yesterday after
noon after the water was turned off
several teams were observed to turn in
toward the empty basin and horses
and driver alike seemed disappointed
TO find the fountain dry.
The mild weather made it possible
TO keep the water running much long
er than usual. this season. The excel
lent. drainage at the culvert did not
permit much water TO accumulate on
the pavement, nevertheless during such
weather as yesterday the little that
fell was sure to CONCEAL and ice began
to accumulate rapidly about the foun-
lain.
