 The merchants have their Christ. mas stocks nicely displayed, and there will be active business all over the street for the next ten days. The attention given to this branch of the business by the local merchants and che comprehensive nature of the stocks carried have resulted in keeping much money in town in former years, and the indications are that this year will be no exception. An ex- animation of the various stocks offered at this season ia very interesting, and the prices attached to the various articles are an added inducement for home buying.
 The many friends of F. A. Warield in this vicinity will be pleased to hear of his prospects for advancement. as the following news from Washing ton, sent out to the daily papers. indi- cates: "Frank A. Warf1eld of, Staf- ford Springs is an applicant foryap- pointment as one of the deputy com misaioners of the pension office. and his chances for she place are said to be very good. There are two of these deputies, and the recent promotion of the first deputy to be commissioner has necessitated a change all around. Senators Bulkeley and Brandegee Fri day morning called on President Taft to present Mir. Warfleld's name, and he also has the endorsement of all the members from Connections in the house. Mr. Warfeld has been fol nearly thirty years in the pension office, and is at present chief of the western division, to which place he was appointed in 1897. This place pays a salary of $2OOO a year. while the deputy gets $36OO. MT. Warfielt was a candidate for the same place he is now seeking about ten years ago but failed to land the plum.

 The enthusiasm for the comirg Christmas exercises at the Baptist church Saturday evening. Dec. 25th. and the New Years party Dec 31st, to watch the old year out and the new year in, promises to make both social functions success.
 We were greatly shocked Monday morning to hear over the 'phone of
 
 Francis Wayland Preston, of West Stafford. She was in every way . superior Christian woman of the old stock and will be greatly missed. Her husband and children have the deepest sympathy of friends and relatives here.
 At the Baptist church Rev. MT. Darrow took for his text the fourth verse of the 25th Psalm: "Shew me thy ways, o Lord; teach me thy paths '' At the close many said 1t was the best sermon to which they had ever been privileged to listen. One of the ways in which it was re- markable was that it was alive with points for memory to seize upon, one being Truth is consistency
 All were thankful to have Rev. MT. Gardner able to take up his usual faithful service at the Congregational church Sunday morning. He preached from James AS. Topic. "The re- ward of drawing nigh to God" MT. Gardner also led the Endeavor in the Baptist conference room in the even- ling. the subject being the last of the I12 Pilgrims Progress lessons that have held monthly attention for . year. and have everywhere stimu. lated, among old as we'll as young. g fresh interest i'm this wonderful work. After the readings from the scripture land from the closing chapters of the book Mr Gardner spoke in his usual felicitous way of the immortal dreamer and his greatest work.

The fifth article, to see if additional lights should be installed on Furnace avenue, near the residence of J W. Witt; on West Main street, near the residence of Dennis Gerard, and on Benton street, near the residence of lderman Rister, was also left in the hands of the court of burgesses. It was also voted to instruct the court of .burgesaes to bring in at its next annual meeting budget containing an estimate of the amount that would Ebe required to pay the running ex. pensas of each department of the borough.
 The borough report shows an in- crease in the debt from SIS, TOP. 3s to $l5. 951. 91, an increase of $2, 249. 43 The increase ia due principally to. the rebuilding of the Main street sewer, the re-macadamization of Main street and improvements on Center street. The expenditures were as follows :-

pect thru the "third degree" The work
is by SEVERN, and is decidedly clever

turned stream Of water over the

as it may seem, the automobile was

power. Mr. Weber was not at all hurt.
He was driving it west on Boone

on the sidewalk and into the hydrant.
But for the slow speed he was going
the machine would have been badly

From Mars"

Human nature is much the same the
world over. a selfish and egotistical
man or woman is seldom IL ever
blessed with. any strong and lasting
ties OF friendship. In their lives they
are, by those who know them, most
commonly the subjects of derision,
which IL they were to hear would no
doubt be the means of extracting from
them some Of their self-conceit, but
unfortunately they do not hear what
others say about them. When Richard
Ganthony wrote, "A Message From
Mans" he took for his chief subject an
extremely selfish and opinionated
man and by doing this, it Is said, his
play has he'd a INST sanitary effec.
upon selfish people who have been
taught by it great lesson for their
own good. Mr.. Gstnthony is credited
