powerful appeal to the sons OF Pur-
itans and Pilgrims to take. a stand on
the right side. He said in this con-
nection:
II would not speak one word OF
criticism of the splendid movement
on the part of our laymen to belt the
globe with the sun of Righteousness.
1t thrills me as does no other. But l
do plead with all my soul that more
shall be done by our 1aymen to make
the city safe place in which to live.
To mould public sentiment along
civic lines, to marshal the forces that
make for righteousness and send
them out onto the firing line and to
take the foreigners now at our very
doors and by an infusion of the prin-
ciples of holy religion transform
them into intelligent, law-abiding
citizens. Instead of sitting on the.
grandstand watching perhaps, criti-
cising the team on the gridiron as 1t
makes the play and kicks the goal
for us, every sovereign citizen ought
to be at the very center of the mass
play as with muscles like knots of
steel we throw ourselves into the
struggle against vice and corruption.
Every interest that makes for the
best home life and community life
must be protected and made dynamic.
The ages of law must be held before
capital and its rights restricted and
safe guarded. But labor must also
have its share of the harvest and be
guaranteed all the rights of liberty
under fair Interpretation of the
constitution.
Il speak the highest not of optim-
ism, there are many allies in the
conflict. One of the most powerf,
influences that is almost always on
the side of the public veal and
against wrong doers, is the public
press, to which we owe more than
we can tell-the daily papers and the
monthly magazines are stirring the
conscience of the American citizen
ship as never before! We face the
dawn of fairer, brighter day. There
are men who fearlessly, unselfishly
at any personal cost are throwing
their splendid manhood into the fight
against corruption at the source of
power-the ballot box, that ought to
be as sacred as the sacrament. Keep
the battle above the clouds, gentle
men. Let it be fought not in the in
terest of partisanship, but ideal citi-
zenship and untarnished franchise.
There are men who believe the laws
were made to protect the people and
to punish wrong, and who stand like
Gibraltar against the forces of evil.
Men who are a great moral power,
whose influence is state wide, jurists
like our distinguished guest, Judge
Brumm, and Judge Henry A. Fuller,
of Luzerne county; men like the un-
compromising fearless Chas. E.
Hughes, Governor of New York.

Great Bend Postoffice Robbed.

Daring "yeggmen' robbed the
Great Bend postoffice Monday even
ing of $3.50 in stamps and cash. The
extreme boldness with which the
men worked resulted in the success
of the robbery. r...t-,.
A large pane of glass. in the front
of the building was cut out shortly
after 8 o'clock, thus affording en-
trance.
Quite few people were passing to
and fro on Main street at this hour,
but no one noticed the robbers at
work.
Postmaster Trowbridge had left
the postoffice but few minutes be-
fore the robbery. The robbers work
ed with all deftness, displaying a
perfect knowledge of the interior OF
the building.
1t was but shortly after the rob-
bers had disappeared under the
friendly cover of darkness that the
postmaster returned from his errand
and discovered the rified money and
stamp drawers.
The authorities were notified, also
the officers at Susquehanna, and 9TH
er towns along the line. Phone mes
sages apprised the postal authorities
at Scranton of the robbery, and the
officials at once took up the work of
running down the fugitives.
The fact that the robbery was dis
covered before the "yeggmen" had
opportunity to gain much of start
leads to the hope that they may be
captured.
After the robbery several residents
of this place remembered suspicious
characters lettering about the vicin-
ity of the postoffice during the morn
ing and afternoon. 1t is believed
that the individuals were the rob-
bers, who were familiarizing them
selves with the location of the post
Office.
1t is the belief of the officials that
the "yeggs" were experts. This is
substantiated by their mode of oper-
alton and clever get away. There
are several railroads within easy dis
tance of Great Bend, either one of
which the robbers could have taken
to escape. Railroad detectives at all
stations were ordered to be on the
lookout.

Christmas Eve!" The ,wondrous
Santa Claus comes to the children
with thee. What visions of dolls,
games, books, candies, and all sorts
of goodies; drums, trumpets, whis-
ties, with all sorts of squaks and dis
eordant blasts; and the wonderful
Chistmas tree with the brilliant
lights, gay colors, and mysterious
packages, some of which may con-
tain the long-wished-for skates or
huge jack-knives. 1t is all enchant-
ment, all the color of the rose, the
rainbow that spans their young lives.
Not all the agony in the manger, all
the wonder of the story of the Star
of Bethlehem, of the following and
guiding of the wise men to the lowly
crandle of the coming King; not all
the sad beauty of the old, old story
can fully satisfy the juvenile heart
like these. But are we not children
of larger growth? In spite of
the solemnity of the occasion, in spite
of it's deep and tender meaning, the
gifts and goodies and merrymaking
are all dear to us, children in heart
as we are.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-12-24

Now, strange as it may seem to you,
Poor Santa Claus is shy,
And so is Mrs. Santa Claus
I'm sure can't tell why,
So, though they love the children
we'll
And like to see them play,
When grown-ups come too near to
them
The Clauses move away.
And as there is no spot on earth
Where men can never go,
The planet Mars will be the future
home
OF Claus & Co."
But though he SOON will live on
Mars,
Up in the sky so blue,
To children whom he loves on earth
Old Santa will be true;
And when next Christmas comes
around
He surely will appear,
Though in an airship he will ride,
Instead of sledge and deer.
He'll leave his presents and be gone
before the peep of light,
To bring good cheer to little ones
And make their Christmas bright.

CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE ARMY.

Christmas in the various forts
garrisoned by United States troops
never passes without cut and dried
celebration. Preparation for the
event is made long in advance!
Every soldier knows that something
extra is going to be his portion for
that day. The Christmas dinner;
with savory extras in the way of
food, is not the only special provi-
sion for the soldiers celebration.
There is relaxation of the rigor of
military discipline, which to many
enlisted men is even more welcome
than the turkey and cranberries.
On Christmas day the man in the
barracks may do pretty much as he
pleases.
But "pigs is pigs" and soldering
is soldering, so it follows that a few
of the men are shut out of the gen.
eral hilarity of the holiday because
they must perform a soldiers duty
as on other days. The guard mount
is for Christmas as we'll as for all
other days, and military regulations
cannot forego this requirement, no
matter how much the victims may
growl under their blouses. Even
the extra dinner in the barracks,
while it is a rare treat to most of
the men, makes work for some of
them which is regarded in the army
as about the most calamitous detail
in the business.
Guard duty and kitchen work are
things studiously to be avoided by
the enlisted men. 1t is not pleasant
for a soldier to be kept on guard,
walking a beat or pacing up and
down in front of headquarters when
the rest of the fellows are inside the
barracks singing songs, telling stor-
les, eating turkey or out on the par
ade ground playing baseball or doing
skylarking stunts. Accordingly the
experienced soldier makes it a point
to escape Christmas guard duty if
possible. There are several ways of
doing this. The first sergeant of the
company sometimes, it is limited,
helps the veterans out by a passive
cooperation, which throws the bur-
den of the day upon young recruits
who are passing their first Christ
mas in the service. He permits the
old timers to swap dates for guard
duty with the recruits so that the
latter will find themselves detailed.
Santa Claus also comes to the SOL
der. This Is true literally and f1g-
uratively. He comes through the
mails or the express companies in
the shape of boxes or packages from
the home folks. On his $13 a month
the soldier does not have much of a
surplus to spend In buying presents
to send home, but this fact does not
initiate against his receiving me-
Inentoes from the old hearthstone.
1t is always an event in camp or bar
racks when some man receives a
betty package "jes' fore Christ
mas" AS o rule, the contents are
shared with the soldiers cronies II
they happen to be of the edible
variety and If any Of the cronies fail
to receive similar remembrances.

The January number of success"
has an article entitled 1.-THE End of

headed "Is President Taft Leader or
Follower of His Party?" Both these
articles bear the earmarks of having

booming patent medicine, as the
first article is along the line of max
ing people think they have all the

is not q great while ago that Uncle
Joe was the idol of the same fellows
who would now burn him at the
stake. When Uncle Joe first came
to Washington, he was loved by
many of these same statesmen for
his unique draw-poker proclivities,
while the rest of them worshipped
him for his generous hospitality,
and his good judgment in selecting a
brand of whiskey that was universal
ly liked. In fact, there was danger
at that time that this same crowd
would change the name of the Ma
tion's Capitol to Cannonsburg, and
only Uncle Joe's innate modesty, un-
flinching determination, and his
reverence for the father of our coun-
try broke up the plot to thus honor
him. Time is good undertaken,
and all this love and admiration for
the old gentleman has been buried,
and the crowd who strewed his path
way with palms are now crying
Cruelty him" AS Uncle Joe has
purchased a base ball team, for his
home town, we believe he has done
so in order that he can pervail upon
some of these reformers to act as
umpire in games when town rivalry
is intensified.

DID NOT SEEK ASSISTANCE.
Parties PurpOrting to be Friends of

Secured Money From Local

Men.
For the past few days parties have
been soliciting aid from the local
business men of Carbondale on the
pretext that 1t was for a family nam
ed Magloskie in Prompton. Last
week Frank Magloskie was killed and
the parties on the pretension of be-
ing close friends OF the Magloskie
family placed before the merchants
they visited very pathetic story and
painted the circumstances Of the be-
reaved family in such a pitiful man
ner that a substantial sum was col
lected in very short time.

Magloskie had worked, heard of the

learned that the parties who secured
money in that city, representing
themselves as friends. of the Mag
loskie family, were imposters and
that no one had been authorized or
sent out to solicit contributions. The
death of Mr.. Magloskie last week
was a severe shock to the family and
the news that parties purporting to
be friends were using such despicable
means of obtaining money Is very
much regretted by them, and they
sincerely hope that the parties will
be arrested and severely punished.

Numerous, indeed, are the hearts to
which Christmas brings brief season
of happiness and enjoyment. How
many old recollections, and how
many dormant sympathies does
Christmas time awaken? We write
these words now, many miles distant
from the spot at which, year after
year, we met on that day a merry
and joyous circle. Many of the
hearts that throbbed so gaily then
have ceased to beat; many of the
looks that have shone SO brightly
\ then have ceased to glow; the hands
we, grasped have grown cold; the
eyes we sought have hid their lustre
in the grave; and yet the old house,
the room, the merry voices and smil-
ing faces, the Jest, the laugh, the
most minute and trivial circum-
stances connected with those happy
meetings crowd upon our mind at
each recurrence of the season, as If
the last assemblage had been but
yesterday. Happy, happy Christmas.

Gift giving at Christmas time is, or
ought to be, nothing more than a
manifestation of the Christmas spirit,
which is unselfsh, seeking only to
make others happy. Every one who

is more blessed to give than to re-

Moving Day at the North Pole.
Confusion reigns in Polarland,
Where Santa Claus holds sway;
A hundred thousand million toys
Are boxed to send away,
And Mrs. Claus and Santa too
Are worried half to death
And have no time to eat or sleep,
And scarce to draw their breath,
While all the children cry and squal
And fill the air with woe,
For mortal men have reached tn
Pole,
And Santa has to go.
The factory is miles around,
And made of hardened snow,
And all of Santa's helpers there
Are little Esquimaux,
Who paste and cut and saw
To make hobbyhorse, a sled.
A book, a game, a Teddybear,
A little dolly's bed.
They see to work so skillfully
Throughout the Arctic nights
Because the place is all equipped
With patent Northern Lights"

us maintain them at any cost. The
Puritan of the seventeenth century
was characterized first of all by the
God consciousness. The eternal was
with him from morning till night,
every day, and that supreme fact
made life something tensely real and
sacred, there is no greater used to-
day. The twentieth century Puritan
may not be as austere as was his an
cestor, but he will not be an agnos-
tic. He may not put the emphasis
on Gods sovereignty, but oftener
thinks of the divine fatherhood, yet
unless a degenerate son of heroic
ancestors as Lowell calls him, he will
live on the same high plane. II the
cloud is not over his head, but the
sunshine falls upon his face, still
his everyday life will feel the bap-
tismal touch of the divine presence
and he will fear to do wrong. That
is a touching and heatening picture
drawn by the Wall street journal
when 1t harks back to the best in the
Puritan character and by few
strokes of the pencil, tells the story
of the father priest of the house
hold gathering his family about him
at the home altar, as he asks the
divine blessing upon them all. Our
tread is softer and our lives less
sordid as we read 1t. Is there any

THE SEA BAT.
Specimen Of q Fish That 70 Both
Queer and Rare.

Specimen Of q Fish That 70 Both
Queer and Rare.
One Of the rarest specimens Of the
fish kingdom known to waters con-
ttguous to the North Carolina coast
was captured In a seine at Masonboro
sound by William Hewlett, a fisher
man, says the Wilmington Dispatch.
The fish, which was brought to the
city, Is what is called ''the sea bat"
and It Is a perfect reproduction Of q
leather wing bat on a large scale. The
nsh is about fifteen inches long and
about thirty inches across the back
Strange to state, It had a thin,
threadlike tail about fifteen inches In
length, and on each side of the rear
appendage were two perfectly formed
gioved feet, with a smaller dimension
having the exact appearance Of q
thumb with the other part OF the hand
mittened. The mouth Of the strange
specimen was about five inches across,
and on each side Of the mouth or the
underside Of the body there were FIVE
~strainers," or holes, through which
the fish is said to rid itself Of refuse
products resulting from the forage 1t
picks up at the bottom OF the sea. The
top Of the fish was a dark slate color,
and the under part Of the body was
white.
One old negro fisherman more than
seventy years old declared that this
was only the second specimen Of the
sea bat he had ever seen in his long
experience as a fisherman. The speci-
men, which had a truly uncanny APP
pearance, will probably be sent to the
state museum at Raleigh.
