South Barre continues 10 bristle with
bird stories In times past that village
has prided itself on the achievements of
its domestic birds, its finely bred hens
and not too often its ducks and turkeys.
But bird stories of another hue are going
the rounds in that baIiwick these days.
Closely on the heels of the report that
a flock of 200 crows sojourned in the vii |
lage Sunday, comes the story from II
well known truckman to the effect that
a carrier pigeon of undoubted fame is
abiding close by the truekman's barn.
The bird in question appeared Sunday /
with Quebec license ring cuffed about
its leg. 1t is said that the pigeon, very
tame member of the species, appears to
know a good deal more about its mission
TO South Barre than it is willing to tell.
The truckman has adopted the bird.

The Separate Skirt

The Separate Wool Skirt is
more popular than for many
seasons. These are taking the
place of the Wool Dress for
spring and summer wear. We
have now a large display of the
new Skirt models in all colors
and in the largest variety of
different designs we were ever
able to show.
In the popular-priced line are models
that are equal in design to the most
expensive models. Serges, Poplins, and
Gabardines are as popular as ever, and
they are cloth that make up and
drape in the most graceful lines.
The demand for Separate Skirts also
creates strong demand for Waists in
the plain-tailored for easy laundering.
These we are showing in many OF the
newest models
See the special Silk Waist in Col
ored Stripes that we are selling at
$500.

A Beautiful Tree.

The tir tree, generally used for the Christmas tree Is one of the most beautiful of the large coniferous fam. fly of tlees. In youth its branches point upward, full of the ardor of life, eagerly aspiring, but as it grows old. CT. its long arms sweep to the earth with lowly genuflections, though its crown still retains the uplifted atti- tude of youth. But in every stage of it's life 1t retains so attractive q sym metry that 1t Is sometimes chosen for the central ornament of large lawn.
 The name of "fir" was originally given by our Scandinavian forefathers to the pines. then later on 1t was transferred to both spruces and frs. But modern botanists now divide the spruces and frs. placing the spruce in the genus Picea and the fir in genus Abies.- Ora ftsmau

Christmas Customs

THE Russian working people seize
 H Christmas as an occasion for
 ceasing work for lengthy period sometimes for month. The clergy call upon their flock and receive sub. stantial presents, not infreQuently grudgingly presented. "Kolenda" is the celebration of Christmas eve. when the peasants gather about the houses of the nobles, sing carols and scramble for the coins tossed to them from the windows. Then comes a great masquerade, when peasants of all ages dress themselves to represent animals, the idea being to perpetuate the memory of the lowliness of the Saviour's birth in stable.
 In Rounania 1t is the custom to bless the Danube at Christmas, and a pro- cession consisting of priests and peo- pie dressed to represent Biblical char acters moves through the streets sing ing chants and so to the banks of the river. The ice on the stream is bro- ken and small wooden cross thrown into the water. Any one who can re. cover this cross is regarded as extreme. ly fortunate and sure of good luck for the remainder of the years he spends on earth.
 A quaint and impressive ceremonial is observed in Holland on Christmas eve. At midnight the men of the towns and villages meet, dressed in Va ried costumes, in the public squares. One is selected, and into his charge is given large illuminated star mounted upon a pole, and with this star as a guide-as the wise men were guided to Bethlehem-a procession winds through the streets, the men chanting the Gloria In Excelsis." After the parade a great supper is served, and the Christ mas day has been well begun.-Har. per's Weekly.

Cheer Up For Christmasl

Be cheerful. Christmas, rue to it's custom, is again i. with us. Another year has , ranged itself with those tnat l have gone before, as happens 5 annually. Cheer up! The laws of nature are sull in working order.
 Christmas is generally con- sidered an occasion for cheer. Merry Christmas" Is the | slogan of the day, usually with the appendage Happy New Year" It is also the time you receive large num- Der of things you don't want, in exchange for the same number that you would rath- CT have kept. 1t Is also the time father carries the box
 oe cigars mother gave him out to the w0odshed, removes the bands. places them on
 cigars of his own and gives what they originally contain ed to the ash man. Be careful just the same. Think of the excellent chance
 you had to pass on the white elephants kind friends pre- sented you with the year be-
 fore. You probably tLink you had to buy q lot of presents. We'll. the more you gave
 away the more you received Cheer up! You don't live in
 that western town of 400 in- hibitants who are all related and where every family has
 to play Santa Claus with moving van to remember all ? the others.
 There are any number of things to be cheerful about.
 If you are rich, be cheerful! Think of all the things you can buy. If you are poor, re-
 member all the things you can't and won't have to both-
 CT selecting, If you have a
 good appetite, you are lucky to be healthy; If you haven't,
 remember all you are saving
 in butcher and grocery bills.
 You can be cheerful about
 everything if you only look
 at it right end to.-Louis B.
