CHRISTMASY THOUGHTS.

Some Timely YuIetide Season Advice
 For Children and Others. /
 This is the beginning Of the time be- fore Christmas when every one is thinking of holiday doings and Christ mas presents. This, too, is time of great excitement, when the grownups get tired thinking of what to give and often tired of shopping for others. This again is time when we children are still at school and thinking sometimes real Christmasy thoughts.
 What are Christmasy thoughts2 They should be thoughts of what am going to do for poor little Johnny. who is alone and poor? Whom can ask mother to have at our Christmas dinner, who perhaps would have to eat all alone were it not for me? Whom can I help deliver little gifts on Christmas? And many more such thoughts. But do we think those things? Are we not much more likely to be thinking of what we ourselves are going to get?
 So children, if you really want to be happy on Christmas think Christmasy thoughts before Christmas and do Christmasy things on Christmas Re ceive gifts? Yes. But give gifts as well-gifts of cheer. unselfishness and kindncSs-an your Christmas will be the merriest sort of day.

OLD SANTA CLAUS.
Author Unl<nown1

Author Unknown.1 Old Santa Claus sat all alone in h's den With his leg crossed over his knee. While a comical look pecped out at his eyes, For a funny fellow is he. } His queer little cap was tumbled and torn, And his wig was all uwry, | But he sat and unused the whole day long, While the hours went flying by. He had been as busy as busy could be In filling his pack with toys. , He had gathered his nuts and baked his pies To give to the girls and boys. There were dolls for the girls and whips for the boys, With wheelbarrows. horses and drays. And bureaus and trunks for dolly's new clothes. All these in his pack he displays. } Of candy, too. both twisted and striped. He had furnished plentiful store, While raisins and figs and prunes .. and grapes }. Hung up on peg by the door. ''I am almost ready" quoth he. quoth he. ..... And Christmas Is almost here. , But one thing more-I must write % them a book 4t .# ]. And give to each one this year" So he clapped his specs to his lit.le round nose. "s HsH And, seizing the stump of pen, He wrote more lines in one little hour Than you ever could read in ten. He told them stories, all pretty and new, H ). g And wrote them nll out in rlme, Then packed them away with his box of toys ... , To distribute one at a time. } And Christmas eve when all were in bed @.#..H#zHs Right down the chimney he flow, And. stretching the stocking leg out at the top. He clapped in a book for you.

CHRISTMAS TREE FOR
 CHILDREN OF THE STAGE.

In New York city and other large cities there has been custom for years to have somewhere-for long time Tony Pastors theater in New York was gathering plnce-a Christmas tree for the children of the stage, custom that grew, not out of charity. but, it was said with all belief, from genuine love. Some of the names that the people Interested in theatricals most respect have long been associated with these Christmas trees. and some of the children who knew them years ago would today be names to respect too, if there were in this country less commercialized stage and genuine standards of acting. But that's anoth- CT story. They are at least successful
 These Christmas trees in the large cities. taking on the proportions of pub lie functions, are simply the outgrowth and enlarged edition of the many little celebrations that take place and have taken place wherever there is a young ster in the company to make the more or less homesick oldsters think back and in that thinking back take a new interest in the day. It is children's day after all, and all the sentiment of the stereotyped children's Christmas story, from the Van Bibber type. with the rescue of the waif on the street. to the rich old grandfather whose heart is softened by the Little Lord Fauntle. roy, might be drawn from just one company that, travelling west. finds Christmas coming on. almost unan- nounced, in some benighted one night stand. .

CHRISTMAS WREATHS.

., Order your Christmas wreaths as carly as possible if you wish to have the most satisfactory re- suits. Later on, when every one is SO busy, one is apt to get what is left and be thankful.
 A wreath of boxwood, with branches of holly, statice, cones and mistletoe arranged on 1t and also a wide red satin bow, makes an exceedingly fine look ing wreath. Wreaths made en- tirely of statice, with sprays of holly and mistIetoe on them and red satin ribbon bows, are much liked.
 Every one knows and likes the holly, wreaths, especially when of great size and thickness and pIentifuIIy sPrinleled with red berries. These three styles of wreaths are probably the best of all the various wreaths made up and sold at Christmas time.

Mr.. MKinsey Gives Reading of
His Poems.

Mr.. Folger McKinsev, better known
as the ''Bentztown Bard" man whom
Frederick has come to claim almost as
its own. and Miss Corinne Bowers, of
Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. gave a
most pleasing recital at Hood
College. on Friday evening, February
10th, for the benefit OF the Free Library
Fund.
The evenings entertainment opened
with several selectians by Miss Bowers,
which was then followed by Mr.. Nc
Kinsey. After short intermission, Miss
Bowers again appeared. and then Mr..
McKinsey closed the evenings enter
tainment
Mr.. McKinsey was at his best, and the
man whose verses have made him ia
nous throughout the surrounding States,
admitted that the inspiration given by
his memories of old Frederick, have
made it possible for him to write the
many verses which daily appear on the
editorial pages of the Baltimore Sun
and which have made for the author a
name far and wide.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1914-02-27

Every one must have felt that cheer
full friend is like sunny day, which
sheds its brightness on all around; and
most of us can as we choose, make this

Big Quantity of Water Con
6umed.

Water meters in Frederick City shows
that some remarkable large amounts Of
water are being consumed, or at least,
are being run into some of the Fred
erick industries. To the Ok Fibre
Brush Works must 60 the palm for beng
the largest user of water in Frederick so
far, as shown by the meter, and so re-
markable are these figures that the mem
berS OF the Board OF Aldermen feel that
some mistake has been made but Water
Superintendent Burck states that he be-
lleveS his hgureS are correct, or at least
the meter shows that amonnt, so he says.
Water Superintendent Burck states
that from January Ist, meter on the
two-inch water man leading into the Ok
Fibre Brush plant shows that a total OF
about 600, 900 cubic feet of water had
been consumed. and this amount reduced
to gallons means that in about so days
this plant has used 6,75o, 900 gallons OF
water for the purpose of supplying its
three large boilers, and furnishing the
water for the uses OF the 300 men en-
ployed in the plant and for all other uses
about the place. This means that every
day about 1856 900 gallons of water have
been consumed at the plant
1t is the opinion of the Water Super
intendent that there is large leak at
one or more places in the building, prob
ably in connection with the plumbing
fixtures, and he is inclined to feel that
the figures recorded by the meter are
correct. He states that the plant will
take all of the water that two-inch pipe
will carry.
At the new City Hotel, when the
meter was first installed. the daily con
sumption of water was about u 900 gal
Ions, and this with all of the plumbing in
the very best of order. Since then some
few changes have been made with view
OF cutting down the water consumption
and the meter is now covered with Gin.
derS to keep it from freezing and for this
reason it is impossible to tell how mach
water is being used.
AT one of the drug stores in this city,
with soda fountain, about I, 500 gallons
of water are being used daily. 1t is felt
that this amount OF water is about the
smallest which could be used to operate
soda fountain as they are today oper-
ated.
The Board of Aldermen proposes, at
some time before April Ist, to establish
the new water rates for large consumers
of water and those persons upon whom
meters have been installed will probably
be given rates il they SO desire it. The
places where no meters are installed will
be given rates based upon similar busi-
ness elsewhere. 1t is the purpose of the
members of the Board of Aldermen to
make these rates as low as is consistent
with the furnishing of the water and YET
not materially reduce the revenues at
present gained from the sale of water.
