Christmas In Newport.

The holiday spirit of 1912 appeared
tie be abroad in all sections of the
Newport district. The Newport mer-
chants were lavish in the display of
their wares and reported business bet
ter than for several years past.
The weather man presented ideal
conditions for the day-mild
temperature and splendid sleighing.
Most of the logging camps closed
down for two days or more and large
number of the men employed in the
woods took advantage of the closing
and visited Newport and other places.
At the Methodist church the hearts
of the youngsters were gladdened by a
brightly illuminated tree and each
member of the Sunday School received
a supply of candies and nuts.
At Hope Congregational church there
was a tree and Santa Claus, candy and
nuts. A program was rendered by the
Sunday School.
The Baptists also celebrated with a
tree and distribution of good things
for the children to eat. A literary
and musical program was rendered.
Low Mass was celebrated Christmas
morning at 800 o'clock at ST. An
thongs church, followed by another
mass a half hour later. At 1920 High
Mass, with special music under the
direction of Mrs. George Hynes, was
celebrated by Father Carbon, of Con
zaga College. The Christmas sermon
delivered by the reverend gentleman is
said to have been a mastery one.

WeIIinaton,s Wrist of Steel.

The Duke of Wellington had only one
vanity-his wrist was like steel. Now
when he was given the sword Of state
to carry it was his infinite delight that
ne was able to carry it upright. All his
predecessors had had to slope it toward
the shoulder. He would go down tc
posterity, he resolved, glorified by the
power Of his wrist. In vain Sir Thomas
Lawrence pointed out that as a mattel
of art it would never do; that the sight
of a man perennially carrying sword
from his wrist would fatigue those who
looked at his picture. The duke insist
ed upon having his way. Lawrence did
manage to smuggle in a cushion upon
which the duke seems to rest his ell
bow, but close examination shows that
arm and cushion do not meet.-LondoE

or playwright should be tied down
to historical accuracy! Lady Dorothy
Neville quotes an amusing correspond

brother:
My Dear Walpole-Here / am at Batn
bored to death. l am thinking or writ
ing play about your great ancestor, Slr
Robert. Had he not a sister Lucy. and
did she not marry a Jacobite?
My brother promptly replied:
My Dear Lytton-I care little for my
family and still less for Sir Robert. but
know that he never had a sister Lucy. sc
she could not have married a Jacobite
However. this mattered little to Lore
Lytton, for his answer ran:
My Dear Walpole-You are too late! Sil
Robert had sister Lucy, and she DID
marry a Jacobite
So, in defiance Of history. the play
"Walpole' came to be written.

The death of Representatives,
