EAT, DRINK AND BE MERRY
Throw Forekodngs to the Winds and
Let Christmas Season Be One
of Joy.

Let Joy reign! Let care go to the
dogs. Throw forebodings to the
winds! Christmas comes but once a
year. Let the young folks enjoy 1t
to the full! Let the old folks stop
their croaking about rheumatism for
that day at least, and remember the
time when they, too were young and
could dance with the merriest.
And let the little stockings be t1ll-
ed, and let us all bear with equa-
nimity the blowing on toy trumpets,
and the footing on mouth organs, and
the drumming on sixpenny- halfpenny
drums, which are sure to follow! The
boys can be boys but once, and what
Is a boy if he cannot make noise
And so the years go on, and one
Christmas follows another, and we eat
and drink and are merry; we greet
our friends, and we part with them
and our lives march along, and

OLD STORIES OF CHRISTMAS
Some Have Interest, Freshness and
Beauty That Keep Them Al
ways New.

There are some so-called "old sto-
ries" that are really not old, for they
have an interest, freshness and
beauty that keep them always new.
Of such are the story of Christmas
and all the legends and tales that be-
long to the great festival.
There is a legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple the
leaves of the tree Immediately shr1v-
eled into needle points and it's bright
green turned dark The nature or
the tree changed and 1t became an
evergreen, in all seasons preaching
the story of mans fall through that
first act of disobedience. Only on
Christmas does it bloom brightly with
lights and become beautiful with love
gifts. The curse is turned into
blessing by the coming of the Christ
child, and thus we have our Christmas
tree.
The visits of ST. Nicholas to the
homes of the people on Christmas eve
as an annual custom grew out OF a
festival in honor of Hertha, a Morse
goddess. At this festival the house
was decorated with evergreens and an
altar of stone was set up at the end
of the hall, where the family assem-
bled. From Hertha's stone we get our
word ''hearthstone." On the stones
so set up were heaped fir branches
which were set afire, and through the
smoke and flame Hertha was supposed
| to descend and influence the direction
of the flames, from which were pre-
dicted the fortunes of those present.

Christmas Givino.

There are great many people in
the world whom we know more or
less, but to whom for various reasons
we cannot very we'll send Christmas
gift. But there is hardly one, in all
the circles of our acquaintances, with
whom we may not exchange the touch
of Christmas life.
In the outer circles, cheerful greet
ings, courtesy, consideration; in the
inner circles, sympathetic interest,
hearty cong satulations, honest encour-
agement; in the Utmost circles, COM
radeship, helpfulness, tenderness.
After all, Christmas-living is the
best kind of Christmas giving

IN, CECIL COUNTY. MD, FRIDAY, JANUARY g, 1910.
GOOD ROADS BUILT IN STATE,
Engineer Crosby Reports On Work
Done During Past Year.

That 65 miles of road were completed
during 1909 under the so-called Shoe
maker law, which provides that the State
shall pay half the expense of the improve
ment, is announced by Walter w. Crosby,
road engineer under the Highway Com
mission Of the Geological Survey, in
charge Of this work, as we'll as the chief
engineer under the State loan act, who
said also that the contracts for this work
aggregated $4Io,2s1.I6.
Work under the Highways Division is
divided into two parts-that in which the
contractors accepts the work as specu-
lation and that in which it is undertaken
directly by county officials. y Both kinds
are under the direct supervision of Mr..
Crosby. County officials undertook 1906
miles, while the other mileage amounted
to 2o.6o.
Most Of the contracts called for mac
adam from six to eight inches thick when
rolled, although some gravel and bitum7
nous macadam roads were built as we'll
as 1894 miles of oyster-shell macadam.
Up to January /, 1909, 75Lz miles of
State-aided roads had been actually built
and paid for, the cost aggtegating $547, 100.
During 1908 SO miles were completed and
paid for, and, in addition thereto, "a miles
were 50 per cent completed. In this list
are some roads that have been accepted
since January I, 1910, and paid for; and
the actual road mileage completed for the
year 1909 is placed at IS, making the total
mileage of the roads built under the
Shoemaker or State-aided act lao miles.
In addition to the work under the State.
loan act and the State-aided act, work is
also being done on the Baltimore Wash
ington boulevard as separate project,
the State footing the whole bill. Nineteen
miles of this road have been completed
and contract has been awarded for an
additional ~ miles. This work will
consume the money appropriated by the
General Assembly to meet the expense.
1t is expected to make further appropri-
alton SO that the road can be completed.
1t is 80 miles long.

THE HYTHEHAM.
Local History a Strong Feature In
Its Program This Year.

In addition to its regular literary and
philanthropic course of work, the Hy-
theham Club of Port Deposit, this year. is
paying very considerable attention to the
study of local history. This investigation
is in charge of committee, consisting of
Mesdames Miller and Johnson, and Miss
Virginia c. Vanneman. The meeting,
Wednesday afternoon, the roth inst, was
in charge of this committee, and was es-
pecially enlightening and enjoyable. A
paper was read, by Miss Vanneman, deal
ing with the days of the primitive past,
when the large and lordly Susquehannocks
were '.monarchs of all they surveyed"
and when their daring canoes. like things
of life, breasted the waves of the oft times
turbulent river. Miss yanneman gave a
detailed account of Garrett Island-origin-
ally PaImer's Island-from the time of its
being first granted to an individual
Englishman. She laid especial stress
upon the fact that, on this island, was
projected the establishment of the first
educational institution in America.
Mrs. Miller's paper began with most
fascinating account of the topography of
the town of Port Deposit, when cliff and
river whispered to each other in a silence,
otherwise unbroken. a time before the
commercial ambitions Of man had rived
the rock and despoiled the stream. The
days of the picturesque lumber-rafts were
portrayed. The construction of the early
bridges and canals and railroads was
described. The location of wharves, the
scene of the first granite quarrying, the
sites of old buildings, the course of
ancient thoroughfares were wildly pre-
scented. The religious and educational
history of the town was also detailed.
The paper was interestingly interspersed
with anecdotes and "reminiscences from
ladies, whose families had been among
the first in the land, and who had care
fully treasured the records of the early
days, which, now, their descendants are
so glad to possess.
The invited guests included Mrs. c. S.
Abrahams, Mrs. Jane Gerry, Mrs. w. X.
Reckefus, Mrs. R. c. Hopkins. Mrs. w.
L. Rich, Miss Florence Mccullough.
Refreshments were served by the House
Committee, Mesdames Benson, Boyle and
Carson.
The officers Of the Hytheham are -
President, Mrs. M. A. Newell; Honorary
vice-president, Mrs. Joseph Irwin France;
Ist vice-president, Mrs. John R. Bond:
