tiers as holiday. In time the Dutch
were supplanted by the English, New
Amsterdam became New York, and the
old ST. Nicholas eve gift giving custom
was reintroduced into England from
New York. But in England the GUS
tom of giftmaking on Christmas eve
had grown up. There was, however,
no Santa Claus ceremony. Gifts were
made outright and without secrecy.
When ST. Nicholas sailed back to
England there was CONSERVATION

the tight little isle
"What! Shall we have two days Of
gift giving and less than three weeks
apart?" they cried.
Thrifty English parents, it is sup
posed, determined that one day of
giving was enough, and so they SIM
ply transferred st. Nicholas to Christ
mas eve.

CLUB HOLDS ITS
ANNUAL MEETING
Members Have Smoker, Luncheon, Music and
Good Time in General Monday Evening

The annual meeting of the Dawson
County Club took place at the club
rooms on Monday evening with very
good attendance. Quite a representa-
tion of friends of the members was al
so in evidence, as we'll as goodly
number of ranchers, who have come
to regard the club to the extent that
it's name implies-the Dawson County
Club.
Three members of the board of gov
ernors were elected on Monday eve
ming, but there was. no change in the
personnel of the present board, F. J.
Goulding, C. A. Thurston and Andrew
Larson holding their places without
effective opposition. The present board
is therefore composed of G. D. Hol-
lecker, T. F. Hagan, E. S. Haskell,
F. J. Coulding, DR.. A. A. Baker, L.
R. Barnett, G. A. TEurston, Andrew
Larson and E. S. Herrick.
The house committee is composed of
T. F. Hagan, L. r. Barnett, DR.. A.
A. Baker and Leopold Beck, steward.
An entertainment furnished on Mon

ed by all present, was that given by

Why Saint Nicholas?
By ROBERT DONNELL.

Eopyright, 1903, by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
"a THY is Santa Claus sometimes
IN called St. Nicholas? For
vN the most excellent reason
that Nicholas is the real
name Of the saint. Until comparative
y recent years there was no Santa
Claus at Christmas time. When the
old saint comes down the chimney
gifts for the children in the suspended
stockings he is just nineteen days be-
hind time, for his true and proper
time is Dec. 5, that being the eve Of
st. Nicholas day. Just how Nicholas
got to be the Christmas eve saint is
not altogether clear, but those ICON
oclasts who dig into ancient matters
are probing this secret. They have
discovered, or claim to have discov-
cred, that the Christmas eve Santa
Claus really originated in America, be-
ing transported to England from New
York
In the saints calendar Dec. is st.
Nicholas day. Nicholas was bishop of
Myra, in Lycia. He Is believed to
have lived under the Emperors Dio-
cletian and Constantine and is the pa
tron saint of poor ma1dens, sailors,
travellers, merchants and children.
Rich maidens, of course, are also quite
willing to acknowledge him when ne
comes along with diamond dog col
lars, necklaces and tiaras.
Before the great religious reformation
the custom of giving presents on st.
Nicholas eve was general throughout
Christian Europe When the worship
of the saints was abolished the prac-
tice died out in England, where for
about three centuries st. Nicholas fail
ed to visit households on the evening
of Dec. 5 to leave presents for good
children. BY the way, it should be
pointed out that Nicholas was noted
even in infancy as particularly good
and pious child Therefore his visits
are not made to bad children-only to
those whose parents can vouch for
their good behavior during the previous
year.
In Austria, Holland and Poland St
Nicholas eve is still observed. Good
children get presents, secretly left in
their shoes placed upon the hearth
stone for the purpose or in their stock
ings hung from the mantel. When
New York was settled by Hollanders
the deyout Dutchmen brought over TO
America their religious customs, not
forgetting that of st. Nicholas eve. In
old New Amsterdam the saint made

Wreck Turns Out Fortunately

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 1O.-The
wreck of the west-bound North
Coast limited at Mckenzie, on the
Northern Pacific 20 miles east of
here, last night, may be considered
one of the most fortunate in the
annals of railroading, according to
railroad men. The fact that almost
an entire train, going at the rate of
so miles an hour, containing 200 per-
sons could turn over and go down a
10-foot embankment without killing
anybody. is marvellous.
The train struck a broken rail.
The engine got over safely, but the
tender went off the track followed
by the baggage car and mail car.
The coupling broke and the three day
coaches, two sleepers and the obser-
walton car went down an embank-
ment into a deep snowdrift and
turned over without breaking a
coupling. The hard-packed snow
saved the train from destruction.
Eight babies on the train were not
even scratched.
The most seriously injured are:
H. G. Williams, Allegheny, Pa,
cut on head and body.
Engineer Aaron Remley. Colgate,
N. D., ribs broken.
William Pazen, Oshkosh, Wis, in
jured internally.
Mrs. w. H. Cullyfore, Seattle,
leg injured.
The Rev. LaviotIette, Aberdeen,
Wash, back injured.
Besides these, many were cut by
broken glass and bruised.
A Seattle preacher was thrown
out of his berth in his nightshirt in
to the berth Of three women, badly
brulslng them.
The lights on the train were extin-
guished at once, which added to the
confusion. On the whole, the passen-
gers were calm and crawled out into
the snow in all kinds of attire, but
soon returned to the cars and finish
ed dressing. A few women tainted.
The first three named were placed
in the hospital here, and all the
other passengers are quartered at
local hotels.

p lrposes was being installed on the
Minot division, which extends from
Devils Lake to Wllliston, a distance
of 239 miles, and that the work of in
stallation was nearly completed.
When it is finished, the telephone
system will be extended from Willis
ton to Cut Bank, Mont, over the
Montana division, a distance of 437
miles, and along the Butte division,
which covers 5O7 miles.
AS the Great Northern is now dis
patching the trains on it's Wilmar
division, covering 2O3 miles, by tele-
phone, this will give a grand total of
l, 1856 miles of line.
The Northern Pacific, which for
some time has been dispatching trains
between here and Fargo by telephone,
as well as blocking them in the same
manner for the 25O-mile distance, is
about to put in telephone blocking
system also between Trout Creek,
Mont, and Spokane, a distance of
125 miles, on it's Idaho system.
Trains will still be dispatched over
this division by telegraph, however.

fists on their instruments and some of
the limitations were little short of
marvellous.
The regular financial report was
presented Monday evening. This show
ed the club to be in an excellent shape
regarding money matters, all bills
having been met and neat surplus
still remaining in the treasury. The
amount on hand was considerably
larger than at the same time last
year. And as no expenditures have
been curtailed this certainly speaks
we'll for the financial ability of the
club leaders.
Luncheon was served by the Nippon
restaurant in the manner for which it
has gained just fame. A smoker was
also a prominent feature of Monday
evenings deliberations. 1t was we'll
towards midnight when the gathering
broke up and the members wended
their way homeward.
The Dawson County Club certain
ly gives promise Of becoming a great
er social factor in the affairs of the city
than it has ever been before. 1t will
soon rank with the leading organiza-
lions of the kind in eastern Montana.

Trend Is Towards Socialism

New York, Dec. 11.-Speaking be-
fore a gathering of alumni of Dick
inson college last night Leslie M.
Shaw, former secretary of the treas
ury, appealed to the college men to
save the country from socialism. He
said:
81 am alarmed at the trend toward
socialism in this country today. If
there is any power in this country to
stem it, it ought to be the trained
minds of college men. But four out
of five commencement day orations
are purely socialistic. | have meet
many Of the teachers Of sociology in
our schools and universities. With
few exceptions the teachers are social
lists, as you can find by a few mo-
ments' conversation with them, and
the few exceptions are anarchists.
Il wart to say to you preachers as
sembled here that unfortunately there
is good deal of socialism being taught
these days from the pulpit. The Chau-
tauqua is also full of it; if you can
mention Chautauqua popular speaker
who is not talking and preaching So
cialism | will be obliged for his name.
The public libraries are full of it.
Whenever we go out to teach that
men must succeed equally, regardless
of aptitude, we arc pointing towards
the rocks of nation.

The Gift.
BY FRANK H. SW EET.

tCopyright 1908, by American Press Asso-
ciation.
THE Christmas chimes are sounding
on the air,
- And, as | sit and listen to their
sweet,
Unearthly music, gone is every care,
Forgot is all the turmoil of the street.
The troubles that the path of man be-
set,
The vast anxieties of human life,
All fade away, and every fond regret
Is lost in all their glad and joyous
strife.
IA THAT though | seem alone on
NV this fair day,
From happy comradeship
stand isolate,
With none to greet me as ! walk my
way.
To merely live | count happy fate
To merely listen to those joyous sounds
That through the crisp of winter call
so free,
Although the merrymakers on their
rounds
Pause not to think of or remember
me.
TS'T not enough that on this Christ
mas morn,
This glad birth morn of him whose
day it is,
My heart, but yesterday so sad, forlorn,
Doth open to the message that was
his?
ls't not enough to know that from
above
The tidings of sacrifice divine
Come as a gift of an eternal love
That | have but to take to make il
mine?

BANDITS GETIN
SOME WORK
Men Thought To Be Former Helena Desperadoes
Hold Up Great Northern Passenger.

Spokane, Dec. 10.-That the trio of
thugs who held up Great Northern east
bound train No. inside the Spokane
city limits near Hillyard last night
are none other than Ed Frankhauser
and J. Nc Donald, with another pal,
who recently robbed the Oriental
limited of $40, 900, broke Jail at Hell
ena later and gained notoriety by their
mad spending of i'll gotten gains at
Bonner Ferry dance halls, is the be-
lief of the police. The pair are known
to have been at Butte and Anaconda
less than one month ago. =
The Great Northern railway has Of
fered areward of So, 900 for their cap
ture, and the amounts offered by the
state and government make the bounty
$4,000.
The robbery came within a hair of
ending in an absolute failure as the
result of a desperate struggle in the
cab of the locomotive between Engi-
neer "Jack' Haller and one of the
bandits. The engineer, in the belief
that the bandit was a friend who was
playing a practical joke on him, had
almost overpowered the robber, when
one of the other two brought Haller to
realization of the actual conditions
by pressing his revolver against the
engineers forehead and saying Leave
him alone, or I'll blow your head off !"
Haller was compelled to release his
hold.
''Not a particle of the Spokane mail
was touched" said Mail Clerk Rey-
nOlds of Spokane, in telling his story
of the encounter. "All pouches that
contained mail from Seattle were
thoroughly ransacked. Opening the
door in response to heavy knocking, |
looked into the muzzles of two revol-
Vers in the hands of the bandits. Be-
fore getting on, the little fellow laid
gunny-sack containing IA sticks of
dynamite on the floor of the car. Now,
you open that sack quick, the big
fellow said to me, pointing to the
gunny-sack. | opened the sack and
found the dynamite wrapped up in
two newspapers.
He then pulled out long knife
and began ripping open the Seattle
pouches and sacks. He ripped them
open just enough to enable him to
dump all the mail on the floor.
Altogether they were about 10
minutes robbing the mails. The larger
OF the two was about 5 feet 10 inches
tall.
He wore dark soft hat pulled
uoWn almost over his nose. He did |
not look up at anytime. He did not
wear mask and seemed to have
hight growth of brown whiskers.
The little fellow was short and
heaVy. He wore a mask which covered
Tile lower part of his mouth, his chin
"na neck. He also wore a small dark
zap which was pulled down over his
yes So that | could not get a look at
Ills eyes. He wore a heavy brown
"uStache which l think was false. +"
