At the "Old Plantation" she was
at home, and only with difficulty was
she able to take with her the collec
tion OF dusky servants who seemed
inclined TO remainn
Wedgin- her way through the large
number of attractive booths. Miss
Swicli bought tickets for the gang to
the Dog and Pony circus until the tick
et-seller thought he would run out OF
pasteboards. At this show the real
sesation of the evning occurred when
monkey recognizing his former mis-
tress, jumped from his gilded char
lot into her ans.
The crowd shrieked with delight
at the sight of the nlokey's affections
as Miss Swck was fairly carried by
police escort into the great Monkey

There the monkey left his mistress
to show off his acrobatic ability for

FISHING SEASON UNUSUALLY ] l
 GOQD
(By Associated Press)

(By Associated Press)
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26. One of the most successful salmon fishing seasons in the history of the Pacific coast, ac- cording to the Alaska Packing company officials here, is drawing to a close. A number of the sixty or more concerns that fish for salmon in Bristol bay, and the waters off central and southeastern Alaska are unloading their last ships in various ports along the coast their efforts Ill catching both the red and the pink salmon having met with signal success
 One San Francisco concern annouces that its catch broke all records, with the exception of 1913, when 1t shipped ,504,- 900 cases. The last four boats to leave the fields for this com pany recently finished unload ing, and the figures for the new catch are now being compiled.
 
 In Bristol bay the season lasted but a month for most of the fishing companies, but the catch there was enormous. This particular district is said to be gathering place for great sal mon schools.
 Off central Alaska, where the season usually lasts about six weeks, the run was lighter than in Bristol bay, and off southeastern Alaska, it was very light, local fishing men say. The season IS much long CT off Southeastern Alaska and Puget sound than elsewhere.
 The runs of codfish and her ring were also said to be excep- tionally heavy. There has been no let-up as yet in the activity of the codfish and herring. Fishermen in the far north and their catches are going to glad den the hearts of the food con- servationists, the San Francis co fishing men indicate.
 By government edict the fishing companies are forbid den to fish in the streams and rivers. The best catches of salmon were made some miles off shore.

MILE.sToNEs.

Christmas and New Years
are sad times to me, wrote a
friend once. "They are mile
stones on the road Of life. They
tell me how long the journey has
been and how near the end am.
They remind me Of those who
have fallen by the way and who
walk by my side no more. They
speak to me of other days, when
my heart was merry and my feet
were light and the way less lone
ly and weary than nOw"
All, but to the Christians they
are mile-stones also, pointing to
that country which is our true
home, where we shall see again
the dear ones we have loved and
lost; where partings shall be no
more, and where '1God, Himself,
shall wipe away all tears from the
eyes!"
These mile-stones tell us, as
we'll, that we are on the road and
not wandering in devious paths
they tell us how far along we are.
They bid us take our reckoning
and ask ourselves: how we have
journeyed, what speed we have
made, what burdens of grief and
sorrow laid at the Masters feet,
what shackles of sin cast off?

of saltwater, on broad plateau over
looking the st. Croix, at an elevation
of about 40 feet. Directly in front
of the prison the ground slopes alb
ruptly to the river flats. The prison
farm has an area of 500 acres, and
the prison enclosure proper of %
acres. The plans of the new prison
realize the best ideals of modern
prison architecture. The handsome
buildings are plain, substantial, COM
Portable and fireproof
A number of thriving factories are
taking the place of saw mills which
have passed away and promise much
for it's business development in the
future. The natural sequence of it's
former great industry, numbering, is
found in three woodworking estab-
lishments which furnish all kinds of
supplies for building purposes. Shoe
and garment factories furnish another
feature of the citys industrial life.

CHRISTMAS IN CHINA.

Christmas in China is the feast
Of the Catholic only, and with him
of the Church only. There is no
festive celebration of the day, no
exchange Of gifts and happy senti-
ments. The Chinaman has not
commercialized Christmas nor
made it a feast where spirit
other than its own religious joy
dominates. With him it is feast,
that marks the birth of Christ, an
occasion when he should be thank
full, should pray, should commune
with his Maker. The only gifts
he gives are to the Church, and
to his spiritual father, and these
are as generous as his means will
permit.
Early on Christmas morning,
about three or four o'clock, the
Catholics are to be seen on the
street; some riding donkeys, some
horses, some in carts, many walk
ing, each family making group,
from which no member is missing
all going to church for the first
Mass. The altar is placed in the
center and there are no pews, the
faithful kneeling Or standing
throughout the services. The men
are arranged on one side, the
women on the other. They remain
in church throughout the morn
ing, returning home only at din
ner time. After that meal they
again return to the church for
Vespers and Benediction, and stay
until the evening, when their cele-
bration of the feast is ended.
Going and coming to church the
men and women are separated, the
women leading, the men follow
ing.

A CHRISTMAS EVE ADvEN-
TURE.
Once on a time in queer little
town
On the shore Of the Zuyder Zee,
When all the good people were
fast asleep,
"A strange thing happened to me.
Alone the night before Christmas,
| sat by the glowing fire,
Watching the flame as it rose and
fell,
While the sparks shot higher
and higher.
Suddenly one of the sparks began
To flicker and glimmer and wink
Like a big, bright eye till l hardly
knew
What to do or to say or to
think.
Quick as a flash it changed to a
face,
And what in the world did | see
But dear old Santa Claus noddlng
his head
And waving his hand to me!
"Oh, follow me, follow me y soft
he cried,
And up through the chimney
with him
I mounted. not daring to utter a
word
Till we stood on the chimney's
rim.
"Now, tell me, I beg you, dear
Santa Claus,
Where am | going with you?'
He laughingly answered: why,
don't you know?
To travel the wide world
through.
"From the crystal palace, far in
the north,
I have come since dark, and see
These curious things for the little
folk
Who live on the Zuyder Zee"
Then, seating himself in his rein
deer sledge
And drawing me down by his
side,
He whistled, and off on the wings
of the wind
We flew for a midnight ride.
But first such comical presents he
left
For the little Dutch girls and
boys
Onions and sausages, wooden
faced dolls,
Cheese and gingerbread toys,
4 Soldiers that marched at the word
Of command,
NcCkIdCeS, DEdCclclS anu IluSS;
Tiny gold watches, all studded
with gems,
And hundreds of exquisite
things.
Straight to America then, where
Perched on chimney high,
Watched him scramble and hustle
about
Between the earth and sky.
Many a stocking he filled to the
brim,
And numberleSs Christmas trees
Burst into bloom at his magical
touch.
Then all of a sudden a breeze
Caught us and bore away to the
south
And afterward blew us out
west,
And never till dawn peeped over
the hills
Did we stop for a moment s
rest.

ABOUT HANDLING
FROSTED CORN
EEHEHEWH hkEEW nj

Frosted corn which has been prac-
tically killed will be best handled by
cutting it before the leaves become
so dry and brittle that they will blow
off and thus incur considerable waste.
The silo offers the best opportunity
for handling.
1t is generally conceded that corn
cut Immediately after the frost will
make better silage if cut and allowed
to wilt or dry out more or less, be-
fore being run into the silo. This
practice tends to reduce the amount
of moisture contained in the stalks
and also to overcome some of the acid
which develops in frosted corn to a
much greater extent than it does in
corn which ripens to the right stage
for putting into the silo under ordi-
nary conditions.
If frosted corn has been allowed to
stand or has been cut and allowed to
dry out until there is not sufficient
moisture to make it pack we'll, water
should be added to the cut material
as it is run into the silo, in order to
make it pack well and to prevent it's
moulding.
In several instances frosted corn
has been cut and put into loose
shocks and later put into the silo
with green clover of the second cut
ting. 1t appears that this practice
will not only increase the amount of
succulent feed for another winter, but
at the same time will improve the
quality Of the silage.
Silage from frosted corn will not
have the same feeding value as silage
from corn which has matured properly
and it will contain more acid. 1t
should, therefore, be fed judiciously
and in combination with more dry
roughage and other feed than is ordi-
narily required with good ensilage.
