Dec. 4. 1859. he climbed to the top of
Mt. Washington with Lucius Hender-
son, a deputy sheriff of Coos county.
He had thrilling experience in
reaching the top and was ever after
proud to tell of his exploits on that
occasion, as this was the first win

made by white man. Mr.. Osgood
drove six and eight bitches for
the old Concord coaches through the
hills and often travelled over the
mountain trails on horseback when
guiding some distinguished man
through the devious ways of the noun

Artemu3 Ward, Mark Twain and
other famous men, both Americans
and foreigners. were taken through the
mountains under his guidance, and he

Acquiring the Christmas Spirit,

Think of others besides just your nea,
and dear ones.
| Remember the lonely, and do NOT
think that poverty and loneliness are AL
ways synonymous. The friendless rich
| man or woman finds money Il sorry
substitute fer horne tics at the Christ
! mas season.
! Put your worries behind You and
force chcerfulness if it is not yours 1t
| Is surprising how soon the forced pleas
| IRE becomes the real thing
! Do not attempt more in the way of
giving and entertaining than YOU can
afford Nothing more surely ruins the
Christmas spirit.
| If you have feen q prOcraStinatOr grI
hustle on You at once; it is time now
that you should be tying up your bund
les instead of just beginning to worry
over what to buy.
If YOU cannot afford to give rs much
as last year, put the more thought and
love into what you do give. Make your
gift Individual, if it be but a Christmas
postal.
Don't pat of Your shopping till The,
last few days; it will be unsa tieractory
and trying to you and doubly SO to the
oVerWorlied clerks.
Try to know before hand what YOU
want when going shopping; if undecid-
ed. take somewhere else to make m
your mind than the front of counter
with dozens Of impatient purchasers
waiting for your place
If YOU are to have the family dinner
plan it carefully beforehand: have as
much as possible cooked the day be-
fore and avoid confusion that will ruin
Christmas Day both for you and your
servants
If you have children. talk TO them
each day of Santa Claus and tel! them
how little boys and girls celebrate the
holiday seasons in other lands.
Also, do not let them be disregardful
of the real meaning of the day. 1t is
something all of us are apt to forget.
Save your time and strength; don't
deplete your pocketbook or run into
debt from u mistaken sense of pride:
think Of making others happy-the
poor, the sick and frendless, as well as
your own loved ones; read all the old
Christmas classics. and you will find
the Christmas spirit you thought lost
has been rebound.
