breeding high-class poultry for more
than thirty years, and has imported
more fine poultry in variety from Eng
land and Scotland probably than any
other American fancier.
The members of the association who
are relied upon to shoulder the heaviest
expense are united in pronouncing the
show of vast benefit to themselves as
breeders of poultry. Almost any farmer
who has pure bred poultry can do a
good business in selling eggs for hatch
ing in the spring and early summer,
when eggs are plentiful and market
prices are low, if he takes the trouble
to attract attention TO his birds and
show his neighbors that be has stock
good enough to travel in fast company.
The show room is the place to begin
operations and the poultrymen Of the
city and surrounding country should get
together and by liberal entries Of their
best stock cooperate in making the
show an excellent one. Entry blanks and
premium lists may be secured from Dir.
Allen Tucker, of this city, who is sec.
retary Of the association.

Christmas at St. Mary's.

The beautiful feast of the commem-
Grafton of the Nativity of our Savior,
the suhlimest and most joyous celebra-
tion throughout the ecclesiastical year,
was solemnly observed at St Mary's
cha.ch. The spirit of rejoicing and
gladness over the birth Of our Lord was
reflected with flowers and music, and a
ground tone of JOY in the services.
The ceremonies began at 5 a, m.
when High Mass was celebrated by the
pastor At this Mass many received
Holy Communion. Then followed the
ehildren's Mass at 1880 o'clock, COM
memorating the alteration of the shep-
herds. During this Mass the Sisters
and their pupils sang hymns in honor Of
the Divine Babe. The last Mass was
celebrated at 1890 O'Clock After
reading the epistle and gospel of the
third Mass, the pastor, Father Weyer,
delivered beftting and eloquent SER
mon, using as his text the song of the
angels. peace on earth to men of good
will " The pastor reviewed the life of
the Savior, describing how He had
brought peace and spiritual JOY into the
world. He admonished his congrega-
ton to seek for the peace of which the
angelic hosts sang, namely, peace with
God, ones neighbor and ones self
The altars, which were decorated by
the Sisters, were resplendent with
waxen tapers and flowers. A repre-
sentation of the Stable at Bethlehem
was one of charm, aiding greatly
in recalling the transcendent {
mystery by which God became man TO
redeem the world The many altar
boys, as well as the choir, added great
" in making the services as solemn and
beautiful as they were. The pastor
having expressed his thanks to those
who had contributed towards the dec
orations, Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament was given, followed by the
Te Deum which closed the inspiring
services of the day.

Christmas at St. Pauls Catholic Church.

The religious services at St. Paul S
Catholic church, in this city. We're con-
Quoted with the usual impressive Christ
mas ceremonies. The interior of the
church was very beautifully decorated,
appropriate for the holy season. To
the sanctuary, especially. was given
marked care and attention. 1t was or
namented with evergreens and holly IN
profusion. Great festoons of evergreen
were suspended in loops in front and
across the sanctuary. On the Taber-
nacle the green was relieved by artis-
tically arranged artificial and natural
cut flowers. Above, in semi-circle, was
the Christmas angel-greeting. "Glor;a
in Excelsis'' in large green letters.
When services began, the many light
ed tapers and gold embroidered vest
ments of the celebrant made an at
tractive appearance. The choir, newly
formed, with the organist, Miss Emma
Whalen, received the well merited
praise of the entire congregation. This
was the first time Miss Whalen played
a High Mass. 1t was also the first time
the choir had sung together in public,
and, although only little over two
weeks in practice, they sang the new
ritual Mass of the Immaculate Virgin
in perfect unity and harmony, showing
tie personal interest and care in prep
aration. Great credit is also due to-
Miss Gertrude Weidenfeller, who faith
fully instructed them and assisted in
their practice.
