HOW TO OBSERVE CHRISTMAS.

Every true-born American has a
natural desire to observe Christmas.
To him it is day set apart-a day
perhaps of rest, of merriment and
feasting-a day when previously
thought out plans, homecomings, joys
and disappointments are realized. In
the midst of it all, in the merriment
the feasting, the giving of tokens of
admiration and esteem, the reasons
why the day is observed are not lost

in the minds of many persons a
month, week, or a few days before
Christmas. is how each shall spend
this particular Christmas. Certain
it is in any event the day should be

its observance without anything harm

Andrew Carnegie awarded scholar
ship of $1,000 few days ago to a
Pittsburg boy pianist to enable him
to perfect his art abroad. The benev-
client steel king would not need to
look far to find many a worthy and
needy youth struggling to master an
art, who would be satisfied with a
much smaller gift.

1t is a hard matter to pick the pennant

Newark will be the team that the even

a scientific, hard-hitting aggregation, full
of life and with the do-or-die spirit which
is absolutely necessary to a hag-copplne
