It's Santa Claus, it's Santa Claus"
said Nanky Poo the pug.
It's Santa Claus a-coming, and the
house is still as death,
There amt a mouse a-stirring, as
the ancient poet saith,
He's duehere any minute, and you've
got to hold your breath,
For they're looking for Kris Kringle
in the morning"
-Kipling.
Silent the house and still,
Only night until ..;
Christmas with all its thrill
Sweetly recurring;
All of the prayers said,
All of the kids in bed,
Flickered the fire and dead,
Not a mouse stirring.
Tennyson.
Christmas eve and midnight
The clock was striking the hour,
And the moon rose over the city
Behind the old church tower;
And / thought, how very silent
1t is about the house?
You cannot even hear the soft
Pit-patter of a mouse.
-Longfellow.
Deep in the Silly night,
Ere slumber's chains had bound
me,
| counted in the mellow light
The stockings hung around me;
The waiting hose from which up
rose
Sweet memories Elysian,
While in the house not EN- a mouse
Was foraging provision.
Tom Moore.
How sweet the children sleep within
this house!
Here will we sit and let the sound
of Sleiphbells
Creep in our ears; sleighbells and
Christmas eve
Become the province of true har-
mony.
Sit, Apollo. Look how the floor of
heaven
Is thick inlaid with purest dia-
mOnds
There's not the slightest orb which
thou behold'st,
But in his motion like an angel
sings,
Still quirine to the young-eyed
cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls
On Christmas eve, when quiet
broodS
and not cen a mouse
Makesfbold to venture forth for
cheese.

Mike WoIman Arraianed,

Mike WOlman was arraigned in the
municipal court Thursday afternoon
charged with assault upon Jacob Brisk
The trouble took place on Maple street
Monday but the direct cause came from
the fact that Brisk was refused admit
lance to Hebrew order of which VOL
man IS at the head Brisk stated thai
Wolman had offered him the applica-
ton papers and would see that he was
admitted. He also stated that upon the
morning in question he was talking
with several other Hebrews on Maple
street and told them of Wolman's offer
He later walked away from that loca-
ton. Soon Wolman appeared and the
persons to whom Brisk had been talk
ing asked Wolnlan concerning his Offer
to Brisk Wclman Immediately denieG
this and it is understood that he called
Brisk several hard names Just at that
time Brisk put in an appearance ano
fell into conversation with WOlman
Some talk ensued and Brisk claimed
that Wolnan struck him several times
in the face and put his finger in his
mouth. Brisk bit Wolman's finger Sc
vercly. They were pulled apart by the
witnesses.
Nolman's testimony was that he neve'
offered 10 Brisk the application papers
in question and further that he had not
spoken to him for a year. He claims
that when Brisk returned the second
time that he came TO where h. Was
standing and rnixed in the converse
ton. Each called names until finally
Wolman, thinking thai Brisk was about
to seize Il piece Of iron which lay on tho
ground, grappled with him with tho
above result
The court found the respondent gull

morning, being picked up in Water
vile and hauled here on Train 141 In It

master of the Somerset Railway; Hon.
A. Nj. Spear of Gardiner.s associate jus
tice of the Maine supreme court; Au-
gustus w. Carter of Bethel and ]. C.
Hutchinson of Bangor.
A hearing was held Thursday in the
Supreme Court building. This was con-
corning the amount of damage done
last summer in the northern part Of the
county to timber lands caused by for
est fires. In many instances these fires
started from sparks from locomotives
Much timberland was burned over in
the vicinity of Chase stream and May
field, which was owned by the Coburn
heirs, some 1000 acres, and about 1888
acres owned by s. w. Philbrick.
These people naturally want damages
and they look to the Somerset Railway,
now owned by the. Maine Central, to
make good. Earlier in the week part
of the people mentioned made a trip
over the Somerset Railway as far as
Indian pond to view the country burn
ed over AS stated above the hearing
is being held today. The railroad has
one commissioner, the timberland own
ers has another and both have appoint
ed a third The amount of damages
will probably not be announced for sew
eral weeks.
