Final Preparations Being Made for
Santa's Reception.

Once again Father Time has US
hered in the last day or two before
Christmas, the busiest, happiest
time OF all the year for those who
have found the true Christmas
spirit and who have learned the
blessedhess of giving as we'll as Of
receiving. This last week will be
filled with hurried stitches taken in
belated presents, with final trips to
the fascinating counters OF the
stores, with the tying of dainty
ribbon around tissue covered par
cells, with the writing of Christmas
messages and with the preparation
of good things for the Christmas
feast. In every home, hustle and
secrecy will prevail, bed time will
be forgotten in the eagerness to
finish presents made by those who
believe that personal service should
go into the gifts and that they
should not be purchased outright
from some store. and there will be
the JOY which comes with this sea-
son of generous preparation.
Amid all their planning for per-
sonal friends, Lancaster people are
giving even more thought than in
past years IN their duty and their
privilege to the unfortunates whose
need for receiving is so great and SO
urgent that they are denied all
opportunity of knowing the joy Of
giving to others. Those in COM
Portable circumstances will share
their bounty with those less fortu-
nate, while the shutins in hospitals,
homes, asylums and other charlt-
able and county institutions will be
generously remembered.
Christmas trees will brighten the
humble cottage and the various
institutions as we'll as the mansions
of the rich, and in all sections of the
city Christmas green, wreaths of
holly and the bright red Christmas
bells were put in place early in
the week, ready for the feast which
should be the expression of the
spirit Of peace on earth, good will
to men,"

You say you like to read history.
OF course you have read or heard

years ago, when royal blood ran
like water in the streets of Paris
and seats around the gullotine sold
higher than Ben Hur" tickets. Just
now such carnage has fairly begun
again i'll Russia, and it promises to
be even worse than the French

KILLED HORSE AT EACH END.

KILLED HORSE AT EACH END. During severe electrical storm yes terday afternoon lightning did some queer stunts about the farm house of Peter Jordan, eight miles northwest of this city. His three boys were sitting in the barn doors, two below and one in the haymOw, watching the big hail. stones fall. Suddenly a bolt of light ming shot down, It shattered the sill on which the two boys were located, tearing big splinters from one end. Earl, the youngest lad, had his back badly burned and his hair caught fire. The other brother was not injured in the least, and was not long in going to the relief of Earl. The lad in the hay loft received pretty severe shock, his limbs being numbed to such an extent that he had to be carried into the house.
 A physician was at once summoned by telephone from this city. When he arrived at the farm home he found that only the youngest boy had suffered in- jury, the other two having recovered from the shock. But little Earl fared badly. Besides the painful burns, his eyesight is affected, and up to late hour last night he could not see at all. But 1t is thought the boy will not per manently lose his eyesight.
 A very strange thing in connection with the freak bolt is that on one side of the barn two horses were standing in stall. and one of them was killed. On the other side of the barn two other horses were eating hay. One of these was also killed. while the other was knocked down. There was no hay in the barn loft and no fire ensued.- St Paul Dispatch.
