FAMOUS MUNCIE
TWIN DIES AT IS
Nothing Particularly the Matter
with Him, Except That He
Got Tired Out.
From The Tribune Correspondent

tFrom The Tribune Correspondent
Babylon. Long Island. April 10
Samuel Muncie, one OF the famous
Muncie twins, Of Babylon, died to-day,
aged ninety-six. having gone through
life with his brother William, hearing
no evil. seeing no evil, speaking none.
He never drank, chewed or smoked,
never went to theatre or saw a show
Of any kind except church festivals,
and when he wanted amusement usu-
ally painted the barn.
He didn't die of anything In particu-
lar. As one Of his neighbors expressed
It: Samuel seemed tired out lately.
and I guess he just died OF old age"
Some time ago the twins became known
through the country as the heartiest
and oldest twins on record. Born on
Christmas, 1918, they lived and worked
together on adjoining farms. They
never quarrelled and never played.
Once Samuel Muncie was asked IL he
played checkers. NO sir, never
waste my time" he said.
Although within almost walking dis
lance. he never saw Manhattan. Once
he drove to Brooklyn, but found the
place too busting and noisy. That was
in 1889, and he never felt another call
to wander from Babylon. One Of his
maxims was Don't worry; it makes
young men old and old men dead" His
only pleasure In life was his two chill
dren, both Of whom are living.
A fund was raised last Christmas 10
send the twins 70 Washington in a
private car to congratulate Secretary
Bryan on his temperance stand, but
they decided they had no time to spend
"gallivantin' around"

Hustling Village
Serious Accident Narrowly Averted.

A very serious accident was narrowly
averted at the railway crossing in this
village Sunday, when party of three
people in an automobile came very
near being picked up by the Montreal
express south. On Sundays there is
no fagman employed at the crossing
as on all other days and the automobile
party were not aware of the approach
of the train until nearly at the crossing
Fortunately Mr.. Magoon, the regular
fagman at the crossing happened to be
passing and warned the automobile,
but after the brakes were set the
machine skidded. SO that when it finally
stopped it was not over two feet from
the train. The engineer tried to stop
the train on seeing the danger. but
was unable to bring it to standstill
until the engine was about opposite
the south end of the platform. No
damage resulted however.

The Parker House Completed.

G. p. Gay has just completed the
Frank Parker house on Main street.
which has been in process of construc
ton during the summer Mr.. Parker
moved the small house that formerly
occupied this lot back to a side street
and erected this new double house from
the foundation up. The house is full
two stories and is made as double
tenement house. the lower story being
entered from vestibule front. while
the upper is from a side hall. The
finish in the house is all in hard pine
and finished in the natural wood, and
practically all the rooms have hard
wood floors. At the front there is a
large double veranda which lends much
to the appearance and convenience of
the structure. The house is in every
way another very material addition to
the town and is splendidly located.

THE BUSY FAIRIES

have heard from Uncle Peter, who is
wonderfully wise.
That just before the Christmas snow is
falling from the skies
The little folk in Fairyland begin to work
At all the very incest toys for Santa
Claus sleigh.
He says they choose the nighttime. when
you cannot hear sound,
When the playroom fire has f1ickered out
and shadows gather round.
But silent hours they do not mind. they
do not heed the night.
For the moon holds up her candle. and
they want no other light
And Uncle Peter tells me. so I think you
should be told.
That those who work for other folk arc
very seldom cold.
They trim the dollies' bonnets. and they
p1ait the dollies' hair
They sew the dainty dresses that the
pretty dollies wear.
They paint the lovely engines, and the
sailing boats they make.
And the best Of all the mincemeat pies
are what the fairies bake.
And Uncle Peter tells me-and l think he
must be right
That work like this is Just the sort to
make our Christmas bright
And don't you think a loving thought
should go on Christmas day
To those who for our pleasure work ana
ask no other pay?

FEELING IN
ERIN'S CHRISTMAS
T>HE celebration Of the festival in
Ireland does not differ to any

T>HE celebration Of the festival In
Ireland does not differ to any
great extent, perhaps, from its
method Of observance in other coun-
tries. The deeply religious sentiment
Of the country makes the religious OBJ
seryance Of the festival its dominant
feature.
The humblest habitation wears an
air Of cheerfulness when decorated
with holly and ivy. from which the
red berries which grow on the holly
peep out in great profusion.
In the Catholic churches in the larger
cities and in many Of the smaller
places as well masses are celebrated
hourly from midnight on Christmas
eve, thousands focking first to the mid
night rlass and later to those that fol-
low. Even in the penal days. when it
meant death for clergyman to per-
form the holy sacrifice or for those
who assisted at it to be caught in at
tendance, the midnight mass was new
er abandoned
When the churches were DESTROYED
by Cromwell and Elizabeth the priest
rock, and with scouts among the flock
thrown out to guard against surprise
by the soldiery the mass was offered
up as it had been In the earlier days
of 1reland's religious glory.
To-day, happily. there is no such
ban on the religious faith Of the people,
and the throngs who then focked to
the glen or the mountain side to assist
in the holy sacrifice can attend their re-
ligious services in comfortable churches
everywhere throughout the land.
On Christmas morning, especially in
the rural portions of Ireland. the peo-
pie flock to the morning masses. often
travelling eight and ten miles from
their homes in the remote hills and
valleys of their respective parishes.
The goose hangs high in Ireland on
Christmas day, and no family is too
poor not to provide the delicious bird
On Christmas night the waxed bless
ed candle is lighted in honor of Christ's
nativity, and music and good cheer of
every kind are enjoyed everywhere.
The day following Christmas, st.
Stephens day, is also regarded as prac-
tically holiday. 1t is mostly availed
Of by the young people, especially the
boys, for fun and frolic Of every de-
scription. Athletic sports. football
matches, hurting and other enjoyments
are general

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE.

I have told such Of my people
as l deal with in these months,
told them plainly and told them
frankly, that if they will say
their prayers with the clergy at
one hour of the Lords day, the
clergy are perfectly willing to
play baseball with them at an
other hour Of the same day,
which is their day of rest.
which rest is recreation; that if .
they will comply with the re-
quirements of the church and
observe Sunday, first of all, as
day of prayer they may have
the rest Of it as a day of play,
apd that, If they have stopped
their work in order to worship,
having orshiped, they may
walk abroad and recreate
themselves" II this. be trea-
son. either to the church or to
the day, let those who wish to
do so make the most Of it,

Age of the Christmas Card.

Could you say offhand how old is the
Christmas card which is now making
its annual appearance in the shops?
1t is younger than most people imagine.
for it's age is only about seventy years.
There would seem to be two claimants
(bOth famous, to the honor of having
invented it. According to some, Cuth-
bert Bede designed the first card when
a student at Durham university in
1916. and designs of his circulated
among his friends for two years before
the printers conceived the idea of of
fering similar cards for sale to the gen
eral public. Others claim the invention
for Horsley, the artist. who designed
one for Sir Henry Cole in 1916. And
a specimen Of this card has fetched as
