A Merry Christmas

All over the country, all over the
world-a few years hence it will be
also all through the air-sounds the
greeting Merry Christmas! On the
sea and land, in the palace and in the
howell, In the hospitals and in the pris-
ons, in the asylums amid the orphans
and in the homes for the friendless
and for the aged, wherever even two
persons meet who know and love the
story of Christmas, the greeting is ex-
changed. Where can there be a par
allel to the universal greeting? Is
there any other sentiment that has
the sovereignty of this cheerful and
heartfelt word? 1t travels through
the mails like nothing SO much as the
doves to the affairs of which the Scrip
ture speaks, for surely the sentiment
fits from altar to altar of the hearts
of men and is as gentle as the dove.
Grudges and animosity vanish before
the waiting of Christmas greeting, the
smile of hope illumines the counte-
nances of those under the pail of de-
preston, the dimpled cheeks of the
babies seem like veritable hooks for
fairy hiding as the lips coo in response
to the Merry Christmas, with the little
emblem of the day that comes to the
infant from its loving parent. In the
DAYS of romance hostile forces passed
| upon the field, sheathed their swords
and cIasped hands across the battle
| line, greeting one another with the
sentiment of universal good will
Merry Christmas has Frightened more
! hearts, has healed more grievances
/ has brought more happiness to the
/ lives of men and women, has proved
/ to be the talismanfc sentiment fol
/ more home reunions than any othel
/ that has ever been heard in this OLE
/ world
Christmas stands for love and fol
charity, for hope and for joy at the
/ fruition of that long-made promise O
the prophet of the coming of one who
should bring peace and good will tt
earth; SO the churches hold their serv
! ices and the people congregate Il
| join in singing or to listen to the ren
| dition of carols, some of which have
come down from the early ages of the
church. The children have theil
Christmas treats, and they are the
very merriest of the merry in theil
participation in these annual schoo
| festivals.

He eyed the Christmas tree with a
look of grim determination on his
face 1t was a fine tree, tail and
straight, with many symmetrical
boughs-just such tree as would de-
light the hearts of his children. But
he chased them away as he prepared
for his work of destruction. Taking
off his coat he rolled up his sleeves,
and with a Ratchet ruthlessly Topped
off all the branches. He eyed the re-
suit with satisfaction. Then he took
up saw and divided the tree in the
middle. 1t seemed heartless, but what
else could the poor man do? 1t was
the only way he could make the tree
fit, for he lived in a fiat.

cent store, which he coperated on a
cash basis. This little business has
grown so rapidly that it has more
than doubled itself in this short
time, and his present quarters are
far too small to accommodate his
stock.
Now that he owns the property
he has had plans made for adding
another 40 feet, two stories high
on the rear, and the old part will
be remode]ed and painted thruout.
There will also be warehouse on
the rear of this. He will commence
this work sometime next month.
When these alterations are COM
pleted he will put in a full line of
fancy and staple groceries, which
will necessitate larger force, and a
delivery wagon will be put on to
take orders and deliver the goods.
He will continue to conduct his
business as heretofore, on strictly
cash basis, which enables him to
give the consumers better values
for their money. He attributes the
success of his business to the fact
that everything that he has sold
went for cash, and says that when
the people get in the habit of buy
ing that way they like it better than
running a monthly account and
find that it is more economical.

osltlons were presented. One was
for a deep cut along First street
and Fouth street from Somers
avenue west, so as to drain some of
the low spots in the west part Of
town, and the other was to arrange
the grade so as to make as light a
cut as possible and have storm
sewer to drain these low spots.
After figuring it out, it was found
that all the digging that would be
necessary would cost several times
as much as a storm sewer would,
and the situation would not then be
as favorable for the property hold
ers, so it was. decided in favor of
the storm sewer. .

GREAT NORTHERN
CRACK TRAINS

According to official announce
ment, three crack transcontinental
passenge: trains, operating into
different eastern terminal ,and max
ing the most costly triple service
in the world for any distance, will
be established by the Great North
ern in the spring. Orders for new
equipment have been placed, repre-
senting an expenditure of nearly
So, ,OOO,O which will fit out two
other transcontinental trains on the
Great Northern, similar in every
point to the service maintained on
the Oriental Limited. This will
mean that the fast mail" starting
out Of the Twin Cities, the Great
Northern Express out of Kansas
City and the "Oriental Limited"
from Chicago will have the same
kind Of equipment from pilot to
trail light.
1t will require 25 complete trains
to maintain this triple service,
which if hooked up together, would
extend for more than three miles
on a single track. Taking engine
and cars, consisting of one observa-
ton, two standard sleeping, one
dinner, two day, one tourist Sleep
er, one baggage and one mail, the
total expenditure of each train is
about $4,000.

From all reports that are being
circulated there will soon be a gen.
eral shaking up among the en-
ployees of the Great Northern that
are holding advanced positions. So
far it has been impossible to get a
full list of the proposed changes, but
the following is said to be auth
entic.
J. M. Grueber, who is now the
general manager of the system, is
slated for the position of vice pr,,si-
dent, while George Emerson, one
of the old employees of the road
who has worked his way up on
account of the ability shown in
handling well whatever task was
given him to do, is to be made
assistant general manager of the
system. r. D. Hawkins who is
now assistant to Mr.. Emerson, will
be advanced to superintendent of
motive power. e. L. Brown, at

manager of the entire system. II.

Monday morning building activ-
tiles started up in earnest and crews
of carpenters and excavators are at
work in different parts of the town
starting new buildings and remodel
ing old structures, making them
more substantial and up to date.
The warm weather has taken all
the frost out of the ground, so ex-
cavating is an easy matter even at
this early date. The lumber deal
ers are busy hauling lumber to
these various places and in a few
more days Whitetish will be one OF
the busiest places in the valley in
the building line. There will be
more building done here this sum-
mer than there ever has been in the
history of the town.
Contractor E. A. Knight has a
crew of men at work under Robert
LaBlanc, making the excavation fol
the $4,000 Duncan-Samson tena-

launches last year are getting bigger
ones, as one IL never contented un-
til he has a speedy boat.
There are now two fast motor
boats, ,and from the way the enthus-
iasm is growing it will not be long
before II motor boat club will be or

talked of to some extent and ought
to be encouraged las it would be the
