be beneficial to ourselves and to
our patrons alike, we will adopt
after the 18th of January rules

Breakfast orders will leave the
shop at 6 a M, and orders not in

until 8 o'clock.
First roast and lone oiders will

disappointment in not getting their

are we'll established and under
stood by our patrons, we are sure

 The Christmas cantata at the Bap. tist church, "In Santa Land," was very good, and by request was re- peated at the New Years eve parish party last night. The arrangements were not completed in time to give notice in this column last week.
 The gratitude of the new corners at the Whitford place to their neigh bors, the Cosgroves and Rounds, who gave tfem a stove and put it up, and gave bedding and many other things to help make them comfortable, was very touching. That is the kind of missionary work that tells.
 The Christmas gathering at the Congregational vestry was exception ally pleasant and informal. The gift ladder was pretty sight, with it's decorations of evergreen. The cake, coffee, nuts, apples, etc., were excellent, and served daintily and quietly by the young ladies. There were conundrums, given ont by Pas tor Gardner, and Proverbs'' that all frightened their wits over. The com. mittee, Miss Gardner, Mrs. Eldredge aud Miss Robbins, are to be congratu. lated on the success of their effort. As was observed by Mrs Gardner ''The more such simple, unpretentoui gatherings we can have the more de- sirable is our hilltop for dwelling place.
 The Baptist Christmas tree was, when decorated, the prettiest sight of the kind we ever saw. The tree wal red cedar, slim and shapely, witt branches that did not bend even wher we'll loaded. Remember this nex year when tempted to cut hemlock with it's slender boughs. Nellie Gar penter, Mrs. Martha Korner and Mis- Hattie 0. Robbins deserve much credi1 for the tree and it's adorning. Al though the weather prevented large attendance, the whole affair was ar enjoyable one. The children di( themselves credit in the cantata, ant Miss Oosgrove made an admirable queen.

A KIND ACTION.

q ONE years ago General David S.
Stanley, of the United States
Army, was leading a force across
the plains. He was laying out the
route for a great railroad. There were
1000 men, $500 horses and mules and
a train of $50 wagons heavily laden.
One day the general was riding at
the head of the broad column, when
suddenly his voice rang out, Haiti"
A birds nest lay on the ground
directly in front of him. In another
moment the horses would have tram
pied on the nestlings. The mother bird
was flying about and chirping in the
greatest anxiety. But the brave gen
eral had not brought out his army to
destroy a birds nest.
He halted for a moment, looked at
the little birds in the nest below, and
then gave the order. Left oblique!"
Men, horses, mules and wagons
turned aside, and spared the home of
the helpless bird. Months and even
years after those who crossed the plains
saw a great bend in the trail. 1t was
the bend made to avoid crushing the
birds nest. Truly, great hearts are
