were held December 81 in the afternoon
from three until i've o'clock for the pri-
mary children and the cradle roll and in

The evening exercises We're held also
in the parish house, and consisted of
speaking singing and giving presents and

was not complete success owing to the
storm of the night before, which wet the
electric connections in the tree and pre-
rented its illumination until late hour,
when most OF the people present had gone
home. Bontircs, however, furnished
amusement for the young folks.

SNOW AND WIND.
Combination Put Trolley Cars Out of
Commission and Drifted Roads.

The sevcrest snow storm which has VS.
tied Burlington in two years arrived Fri
day morninf putting the street car
service out Of commission and delaying
the trains to some extent. The storm was
accompanied by a strong north wind.
The snow began early in the morning
and a rapid fall in temperature took place
about the same time The entire stree,
department was engaged in an effort to
make the sidewalks passable but the wind
ca used drifts so rapidly that the work
was only partially successful
The Traction company felt the storm
badly for the reason that the snow
ploughs were crippled and were
repeatedly stalled Part of the
time the ploughs were towei by t0l-
ley cars and for this reason car was
delegated to run at each end and tow the
plough along. During the later part OF
the forenoon the service was completely
demoralized, but toward evening the cars
began to run with regularity.
The railroad trains during the day were
not bad but as night approached most o
them were late. The New England state!
Limited was an hour and half late n:
was the train over the Central Vernon
due at 5:45. The Rutland road was NOR,
fortunate and none of the trains wa!
more than an hour and a half late. Thu

arrived on time.
At Maletts Bay the storm was espe
cially severe. The bay offered a clca,

s.fe From Germs.

A party Of physicians were on their
way to a medical convention, and they
had gathered in the buffet car to dis
cuss professional matters. The talk
had begun with proper cleanliness in
bandaging. It had progressed TO that
point where sneezing was condemned
for the germs 1t disseminated. when
the engine whistled to announce an
approaching station. The porter en-
tered. He waved his whiskbroom.
"Bresh you OF, subj" he asked one Of
the doctors. The doctor turned on
him.
Just exactly what I've been con-
tending" he said, heatedly. There's
one OF the finest little systems OF
spreading germs that even was in
vented. The porter comes in here and
brushes me of: then he brushes you
and you, and everyone else, and starts
a lot Of germs flying round in the air
to be breathed In and start disease. I
say that germs ought not to be dis
turbed in public. It's dangerous. They
ought TO be let along-not thrown UP
into the air by all this brushing!"
There was q moment OF silence. The
porter grinned foolishly. He first stood
on one foot, then on the other. He
grinned again, then waved his brush.
dCome on. doctah." he begged; come
on and let me bresh you on! Pshaw!
Don't let that idea about microbes
bother you any: What little breshin'
I'm going TO do amt going to disturb

Mr.. Scharf received his fatal injur-

by John Maxwell of Malcolm ran him

Some spectators insist that the front
