Some Historic Cbristmases

Many noble dame, says the old chroni'
Gle, went home with much less clothing than
they came with.
The following summer saw English BAN
ners flying in the air of France. Calais IN

Artois restored to his heritage. =,
Three hundred years more have passed,
and Christmas Day dawns on fair England
But it is not merry Christmas" There is
no rejoicing, no church bells ring, the
streets are silent.
peaked hats, close-cropped hair, in doublets
Of black, and low-quartered Shoes, pass
along the streets, ringing hand-bells and cry
ing out;
Sorrowful faces appeared at door and
windows, and at street-corners and squares
gathered groups of men, who spoke with low
voices and shook their heads.
Still the heralds pass on, smltlng the
frosty air with their cry: .
'No Christmas No Christmas"
What does it mean?
1t means that the king is dead, and that
Cromwell rules, and that the stern Purltans,
superstition, have ordered its non-obserw-
ance.
So no mistletoe is gathered by happy lads
and lassies from the ancient oaks; no molly
or ivy grace the churches; no carols ars sung
by groups of laughing children; no boars
head is carried in on silver platter before
expectant guests. 1t must have been dull
and dreary Christmas tide. r,
For ten years there was mo Christmas
lin England; then the Stuarts came IN again,
and the merry holiday resumed its high ana
glorious place.
Christmas Eve in the year 1776 was star

William entered with his mobiles; the cere-

mained long time pagan, though he was
&very gentle and kind to his good queen.
One time, however, he fought great bat

From the modern city of Cologne, and the
Franks were in great danger of defeat: In
the imminence of his peril he thought of the
xChrstian God whom his wife worshiped,

"Oh, Christ, whom Clotilde calls the true

He then rushed anew into the fight and
won glorious victory.
Clovis kept his word, and on Christmas
Day, A. D. 496, he and three thousand of
his warriors were baptized in the church of
2St. Remi. at Rheims.
1t was grand occasion, celebrated after
the rude customs of the time. The streets

A SAD MESSAGE
j II Chandler Receives Word That
Mother is Dead and Buried

Sunday afternoon Mr. j II. Chand-
Ter wrote an Easter letter to his aged
mother at Lawsonham, Pennsylvania !,
in reply To one that he had received
from her week before and which she
had written herself He had no mis-.
giving that she might never get his
letter and least of all no suspicioR
that she might then have crossed
lover the River" which turns ont TO
have been the ease Monday noon
Mrs. Chandler went To the Office to
mail the letter but before doing so
opened one received from his brother
in Pennsylvania bearing the sad news
that his mother had been taken sick u
week ago Sunday and was buried on
Thursday. A message sent 10 Mr.
Chandler was returned saying that no
one of the name could he found. The
probability Is that il went to Auburn
Iowa, instead of cSming to Audubon.
Mr.. Chandler was down there five
years ago in March to bury his father
and now his mother goes at the age of
seventy-eight years. or the other
three children one lives in Kansas
and a son and daughter at the old
home where the mother died.

GALuSHA A. GROW.

Pennsylvania has lost one OF hel
most noted and patriotic sons, whose
name appears as the caption of this
article. He was the father OF the
Homestead Law by which so many
thousands OF people have profted il
this western country. From 1861 10
1863 he was the speaker OF the House
in Congress. In 1864 he came within
one vote Of receiving the nomination
for vice. president instead OF Andrew
Johnson. And what a great benefit II
would have been to the country had
he been nominated. After having
been ont OF congress for many years
he was returned ten years ago. When
visiting the house nine years ago we
had the pleasure Of listening to him
in speech before that body. Though
so years of age he was strong Of body
and vigorous in mind. But he has
como at the age OF 90 after long and
useful life.

first primary will be held early ia
June 1905. The judges and clerks will

general election, and all political par
ties Of precinct will vote at the
same place and on the same day. The
judges will have separate ballot for
each party and each voter will be Civ
en- the kind he calls for when he pass
eS the guard rail to east his vote. In
this way he declares publicly TO which
party he belongs and his name will be
so recorded in book for that pur-

CONFIDENCE NOT DISTURBED

One thing that is assuring to bust.
ness is the fact that the recent furry
in Wall Street, which brought more
or less disaster to some of the heavy
dealers in stocks, has not shaken the
confidence of the people. That this is
true is shown by the fact that a large
number of small investors are taking
their money from the savings banks
and buying up the securities whose
prices have been much reduced by the
scare. 1t is reported that not less than
seventy-tive millions have been invest
ed in this way. That our prosperity
is on solid foundation is shown by
this renewed confidence OF the people

The choir of the M. r. church are
making an effort to raise money
sufficient to build an addition To the

hand for that purpose they have sec
ured the Columbian Entertainers for
Wednesday evening April 10th. The
