Christmas celebrations by providing an

While the races on the ice foot were
in progress the northern sky was filed
with streamers and lances of pale
white light.
Between the races and the dinner
hour, which was at o'clock, gave

percy, the steward, wore a chefs
cap and large white apron in honor
of the occasion, and he laid the table
with a fine linen cloth and our best
silver. The wall of the mess room was
decorated with the American flag. We
had musk OK meat, an English plum
pudding, sponge cake covered with
chocolate. and at each plate was a
package containing nuts, cake and can
dies, with card attached, Merry
Christmas From Mrs. Peary.'
After dinner came the dice throw
ing contests and the wrestling and
pulling contests In the focastle. The
celebration ended with Il monograph
concert given by Percy.
But perhaps the most interesting
part Of our day was the distribution
of prizes to the winners in the various
contests. In order to afford IL study in
Eskimo psychology there was in each
case a choice between prizes. Tookoo-
NAH, for instance, who won in the
women's race, had choice between
three prizes-a box OF three cakes of
scented soap, a sewing outfit contain
ing a paper of needles, two or three
thimbles and several spools of differ
ent sized thread and round cake COW
cred with sugar and candy. The wo.
man did not hesitate. She had one
eye perhaps on the sewing outfit, but
both hands and the other eye were di-
rected toward the soap. She knew
what 1t was meant for. The meaning
Of cleanliness had dawned upon her
sudden ambition to be attractive."-

Christmas Near
The North Pole

a JOVIAL Christmas was that
IA spent by Admiral Peary on
HGA his last expedition to the
arctic from which he return
ed with the report of the discovery of
the north pole. At Cape York, Green
land the Roosevelt picked up Eskimos
and dogs and by way of Etah and
Cape Sheridan made her way to
Grant Land, where she had to halt in
the ice locked waters of the Arctic
ocean, only 600 miles from the pole,
when Christmas day came. The story
Of the party's celebration of this Christ

enjoyed by white men, was told inter-

turned to the United States.

At breakfast we all had letters from

there were races on the ice foot A
seventy-five yard course was laid out,
and the ships lanterns, about fifty of
them, were arranged in two parallel
rows twenty feet apart. These Ian

strange sight-that illuminated race

"The first race was for Eskimo chill

third for Eskimo matrons with babies
In their hoods, the fourth for unen-
numbered women. There were four
entries for the matrons' race, and no
one could have guessed from watch
ing them that it was q running race.
They came along four abreast, dressed
in furs, their eyes rolling, putting like
four excited walruses, their babies in
their hoods gazing with wide and half
bewildered eyes at the glittering Ian
terms. There was no question of cruel

bies. Then there were races for the

Lo, newborn Jesus,
Soft and weak and small,
Wrapped in baby's bands
By his mothers hands,
Lord God of all
Lord God of Mary,
Whom his lips caress
While he rocks to rest
On her milky breast
In helplessness.
Lord God of shepherds
Flocking through the cold,
Flocking through the dark
To the only ark,
The only fold.
Lord God Of all things,
Be they near or far,
Be they high or low,
Lord Of storm and snow,
Angel and star.
Lord God Of all men,
My Lord and my God,
Thou who lowest me,
Keep me close to thee
By staff and rod.
Lo, newborn Jesus,
Loving great and small,
Loves free sacrifice,
Opening arms and eyes
To one and all!

THE TOLL OF DEATH.

Rarely have so many of our citi-
zens answered the last summons as
were called this last week end. Sat
urday evening one of Wauseon most
highly esteemed citizens, Mr.. Meek
Bayes was released from suffering af-
ter a long illness. At 1 a. m. Mon
day another old resident, loved and
respected by large circle of friends
and neighbors, Mrs. George Lord, was
taken BY apoplexy. Mrs. Lord had
lust returned, Saturday afternoon
from a visit of a number of weeks
with relatives in Cleveland and. her
going was indeed sudden. Monday
morning Marshal James E. Cantle-
berry was stricken with heart trouble
while standing in front of the gas Of
flee on Beech street bystanders caught
him and saved him from falling on
the walk, he was carried into the bar
ber shop near by and DR.. Jay H. Mil

to his home on Depot street and with
in a short time the news was sent out
that he was dead and Wauseon had
lost an efficient and faithful officer.

that he had made a forty-fve mile
drive bringing along two comrades
from Ottawa his words and his pres
ence were still more appreciated. At
the conclusion of Judge Handy's re-
marks, some of the "boys" began to
inquire when dinner would be ready
and this inquiry brought forth the
welcome news that it would be ready
in twenty minutes. A recess was taken
for dinner and there was plenty of
time for "Bill and John, Ike and Jake,
Abe and Lon and all the rest to greet
one another and swap yarns.
The dinner furnished by the OF
tokee Cleaners was simply immense
but it was manfully attacked by the
men of valor present who were rein
forced by the ladies and when they
had finished most of the comestibles
had vanished and the smiles worn by
the company were the smiles of peo-
pie who had conquered foe and
were satisfied.

day was resumed Mrs. Curry favored
the soldiers with another of her ap-
propriate songs and Otis Johnson fol.

was enjoyed by the old soldiers anc

Twenty-one members of the 9th
Ohio Volunteer Infantry gathered last
Tuesday at Ottokee to celebrate the
battle of Winchester which began on
March 22nd, 1862, and was finished on
the following day, March 23rd. From
Ottokee and vicinity many of the Boys
in Blue enlisted and were assigned to
the 9th regiment which was engag-
ed in the battle of Winchester. We
are informed that within a mile
square including Ottokee over fifty
men enlisted in the Union Army dur
ing the sixties and went to the front
for service. Ottokee was ready with
a warm welcome and big dinner for
the veterans. Besides the twenty one
twenty soldiers from other regiments
and friends of the soldiers swelled the
audience until it filled the church.
At 1890 president Charles Handy
called the assemblage to order and
Mrs. Warren Curry led in singing
America after which Rev. A. Barker
| led in a prayer of invocation. Mrs,
Curry followed with one of her beau
tiful songs and the president an
nounced Frank E. Kenyon to give the
address of welcome this address was
followed by response from Judge w
H. Handy Of Ottawa who reminded
his comrades that here he was on his
native heath, having been born and
raised in Ottokee, and that he could
more appropriately give an address Of
welcome than respond to one, however
everybody present was SO glad te
hear Judge Handy talk that they were
not particular whether he welcomed
or responded" and when they knew

Madam, if your husband IS ike
most men he expects you to look af-
ter the health of yourself and children.
Coughs and colds are the most COM
mon of the minor ailments and are
most likely to lead to serious dis
eases. A child is much more likely
to contract diptheria or scarlet fever
whensit has cold. If you. will inquire
into the merits of the various RENE
dies that are recommended for coughs
and colds, you will find that Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy stands high
in the estimation of peopleswho use
it. 1t is prompt and effectual, pleas
