A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Jesus God is born today
In Bethlehem's lowy town;
The shepherds hasten their way,
The stars shine brightly down.
No Kingly court attends His BIRTH
His palace but a shed,
While Mary bows in humble prayer
Above His manger bed.
Yet It's His infant hand that guides
The worlds that spin in space;
He rules the angry tides
An stays them in their place.
He that you and I might live
Forever by His thrones
He loves us, and He wills give
Our love to him alone
Oh, may this infant Saviors birth
Rejoice each sorrowing;
May holy peace attend each heart
And depart.

SQUIRREL ROBBED THE MAIL.
Small Marauder Carried Off Property
of Uncle Sam.

The robbing of the United States
mail by a squirrel was a most UNI
usual incident which occurred in this
city recently.
Martin D~aszkowski, one of the old
est m%ail-carriers in the city, was on
his regular rounds, and had among
his mail to be delivered an advertising
card to which was attached a large
walnut, inside of which was the mat
ter advertised. A little squirrel, of
which there are many in Winona, see
ing the nut, jumped upon Mr.. Dasz-
kowski's shoulder and running down
his arm with lightning speed, took the
nut and card from his hand and then
climbed a near by tree, where it in
vestigated the contents of the nut.
Fortunately, upon discovering that
the nut was not the kind it wanted,
the squirrel dropped it and the card
without damaging either, and they
were later delivered to the proper ad-
dress.-Winonn Cor. st. Paul Dis

TREES STEAL AN ISLAND.
BY Action of Roots and Waves Al
dabra Is Disappearing.

Strength is not a thing usually
attributed to maidenhair fern" re-
marked a local florist, "and yet, if
it's roots have not sufficient room,
they will break the strongest flower
pots. Indeed, the strength in vege-
table growth is wonderful.
"The most striking example is the
Island of Aldabra, to the northwest
of Madagascar. The island is be-
coming smaller and smaller through
the action of the mangroves growing
at the foot of the cliffs. The roots
break off immense pieces of stone,
which fall into the sea-. Into the gaps
thus formed the waves eat their way.
I'm a few years it is likely that by
the combined action of the waters
and m%angroves the island will disap-

was made that the mans mind was an
absolute blank, as far as the past 2S
years were concerned.
1t was later found out that his ticket
had run out at Whitesville, and that
he had gotten off the train at that
place the night before. He boarded
the south-bound train the next morn
ing and while looking out the window
near Ladoga recognized the old home
stead, a familiar scene of his boyhood
days. He got off the train at the next
stop.
Upon being questioned. he seemed
to be entirely unable to realize the
great change that had been wrought
during his absence. His hands were
soft, showing that whatever vocation
he had been following during mis- long
sleep" it was not manual labor.
Despite the fact that DR.. Mahorney
can remember nothing since 1878, the
events of his life previous to that year
are as clear as crystal in his mind. In
conversation he appears as intellect
ual and sane as he was before his dis
appearance. He is a graduate OF the
Milton Hopkins academy of Ladoga
and the Detroit Medical college. He
was somewhat i'll after his arrival and
complained of pains in his head. His
brother, DR.. J. G. MahOrney, began to
treat him at once, and he is now in
perfect health.
Since the day of his arrival he has
been as a child learning the events
that have happened during his period
of oblivion.

OF ETRUSCA
INTERESTING COLLECTION NOW
IN SMITHSONIAN.
Dainty Ornamental Safety Pins Among
the Relics Of Many Centuries
Ago-Designs Are as Fine
az Those Of To-Day.

An exceedingly interesting collec-
ton of Etruscan curios Is being
placed on exhibition for the first
time in the Smithsonian institution.
All those who think that hair pins,
pins to keep garments in place when
the buttons are gone, safety pins,
tweezers and articles for the mani
cure table are of modern invention
should examine these relics, dating
back 1000 and 5000 years.
The modern safety pin is a poor
affair when viewed beside the dozen
or more varieties brought from
Etruria. The most ornate were OBJ
tanned in Chiusi, the ancient Clusi-
UNI, city of Macaulay's Lars Porsena,
who was so versatile in the fine art
of swearing that his name is immor-
tai. The men of Clusium used the
safety pin with as much ease as their
womankind. Some of the long
bronze articles could keep the heav-
lest blanket in place and some were
undoubtedly to keep the trappings
of horses in order. Others are so
delicate and finely wrought in sill
yer, gold and bronze, that their own
ers must have been far advanced in
the art of looking pretty. Some are
of twisted wire, looking very much
like the modern filigree brooch, with
rings and ornaments pending, just as
they do now from the bangle bracelet
of the modern belle. The savants
at the Smithsonian think that some
dozen OF more of these dainty pins
were used to confine the loose flowing
robe of the Etruscan grande dame.
Then here are long slender safety
pins, much like those in use in every
civilized home of the world. There
are heavy coarse looking bronze pins
evidently for slaves and poor people,
but the bellies in Etruria, in the year
1900, B. c., had as fine wrought and
graceful brooches and toilet aids as
the who patronizes the most
renowned Partisan goldsmith.
Hair pins, hair ornaments, cute lit
tie ivory catches to keep the back
hair from straying on the neck, all
were old to these women of that past

WEIGHT AND HEALTH
THIN, NERVOUS PEOPLE NEED
THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How many women-and men too
are suffering from a general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to check! How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are powerless to help! Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task of
fighting off the infection of these diseases
to which most of US are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results SO fatal could
scarcely be better described than in the
statement of Mrs. William Marley, of
80 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is a typical one. She says:
"For six months after the birth of my
baby, I suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like q rush of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
eyes. Some days they twitched so /
could hardly see and black spots f1oated
before them. The least exertion brought
on this sickness. My appetite was poor
and I was often sick to my stomach.
eff I tried to work my feet soon be-
came swollen, paining me terribly. I
had sinking spells and grew pale and
nervous. was so thin that I weighed
only 95 pounds.
"One day when at the drug store to
get headache powders I decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. /
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and I now weigh v
100 pounds. I believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder a woman car take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and I have never
been seriously i'll SINCE"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
If you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for
proof Of what DIR. Williams Pink Pills
have done in similar cases.

PETRIFlED HEAD IN LOG.
Remarkable Find Reported In Penn.

While George Woodward was run.
ming a saw mill In the mountains OF
Adams county, Pennsylvania. he dis
covered the petrified head and neck
of a human being imbedded in . large
oak log. Woodward removed the
head and has shipped 1t to DR.. G. w.
Tate of Altoona, for examination. The
head was of perfect proportions, the
features being preserved to the
minutest detail In the body OF the
wood.
Ears, nose, mouth, eyes, eyebrows
and eve the lines Of the face were
plainly visible. The unusual color OF
the face was the only thing which de-
tracted from its lifelike appearance.
The tree was cut e Lewis, the
robbers cave. 1t is supposed that
the head belonged to one of the vic
Tins of this noted outlaw, who in
early times was the terror of the
mountain-side.
Lewis, the robber, committed many
murders along the old Shippensburg
road. Numerous expeditions were
sent against him, but, retreating to
his impregnable stronghold in the
wilds of the South mountain, he al

Phoebe again disappeared, and re-
turned a moment later with a baby
rat tenderly carried in her teeth.
Straight by the ferryman she marched
and over to the basket where her five
kittens lay, and beside them she
placed the young rat.
AS an experiment, the rat was taken
from Phoebe several times, but on
each occasion she deserted her kit

pected that she was a woman until
she herself let the secret out.
After prospecting for gold without
success in Idaho, Montana and other
western states she came to the hills
last fall to prosecute a search for the
precious metal. A short time ago she
struck a promising lead in the hills
near here and now it comes to light
that her lead has yielded a snug little
fortune.
And now, too, she has thrown off
her disguise and let her friends and
associates know that she is a woman.
She has sold her mine for more
money than she eve hoped to have,
she says, and has gone back to Cana
da to marry. She might have realized
much more on her property had she
chosen to hold it and develop it, but
she wanted returns from it immedi-
ately in order that she might carry
out some long-oherished plans.
The young m went under the
name of Kingsley Malcolm when she
was prospecting in the west and mas
querading as a man. Her real name
is Ethel Mcneil and her home is in
Winnipeg.
1t has leaked out that Miss Mcneil
used to be a school teacher in Canada
and that when she was teaching
school there she became attached to
Wilson McWhorter, a young mar
whom she met at a teachers conyen-
ton.
Soon after the announcement OF
their engagement McWhorter fell i'll
of consumption and was compelled to
give up his work. His loyal young
sweetheart made up her mind, the
story runs, to go out in the world
disguised as a man ad seek a fortune
in order that she might marry her
sick lover and take him to a warm
climate where his chances of recovery
would be much better than they were
in the rigorous climate of Canada.
She drifted through the west pros
pecting for gold. As soon as she
sold her mine In the hills near here
she returned to Canada to marry Nc
Whorter, whom she will take immedi-
ately to New Mexico in the hope Of
restoring his health.
