How the Soliller Hoys Celebrnted During; the Sixties. The Army of the Potomac, under General George 13. McClellan, was camped about Washington from August, 1861, to Mnrcb, 1863, and most of it in Virginia as far down tbo Potomac as Alexandria, as far up as Chain bridge and as far ont toward General Beaure gard and his tenacious Americans as Munsou's hill. Early in December word came to the soldiers that railroad and express companies would carry free packages intended for Christmas pres ents and dinners for the soldiers. That year there was a Christmas din ner for every mess. From the rich fiame3 of tho large cities had come the best in tho market. From tens of thou sands of farms had come the daintiest dishes that mothers, wives, sisters, daughters and sweethearts could pre pare. On Christmas, 1868, tho army was shivering along tbo rivers Bappahau aock and Bapidan, and as far out as Cul peper Court House. It was too cold, aud the men were too poorly housed to en jay the day. It was not a holiday to many—a day of misery, instead. That was the coldest Christmas the south had seen for 50 years, and it has not seen one like it since. Christmas dinners were the order of , tbo day in 1864. The army was strung j along behind fortifications from Bicb luond to below Yellow House, on the Weldon railroad, a distance of nearly 1 40 miles. The sanitary aud Christian ' commissions had arranged to supply the i army with a Christmas dinner. Few i men were overlooked. Except that in • 1861, it was the happiest Christmas for | the Union army since the trouhlo began. , There were many signs that tho next Christmas would be enjoyed at home, aud so it was by all who escaped the 1 hot times from March 39 to the eveniug 1 of April 9, alter Grant aud Lee met at Appomattox.—Milwaukee Sentinel. i ClirlMtmua Table Decoration. A very pretty decoration for the table at the Christmas dinner is a tiny Christ- ' mas tree. Candied frnits and gilded 1 and silvered walnuts mako it bright 1 and seasonable, while a little frosting with the powder that comes for tho pur- • pose makes it a beautiful object under ] the glitter of the lights. The tree will he trimmed aud prepared for you by , any florist and should be planted iu a fancy low vase or dish. The picturosqne dwarf evergreens that come from Japan ' are most effective when used iu this way, aud yet they are such costly treas ures that few who own them are will- ; ing to make table decoratious of them. —Philadelphia Lodger. ( Adorning the Christ iun> Tret-. The foliago of a Christinas tree may be brushed hero and there with muci lage and then sprinkled with common : alt and a very pleasing result is ob tained. A pretty drapery for the tree is made by cutting long strips, about four Inches wide, of tissue paper, then cut ting it closely, partly, but not entirely, across the widths, niakiug fringes. If the strips be dampened and held over a hot stove, the fringed edges will curl and look quito ornamental.—Omaha i Bee. "Where Toys Are Mudc. The greatest toy producing districts aro tho Tliuringia mountains, sometimes called the Tliuringia forests; the an- . cient city of Nuremberg, in Bavaria, and the region of tho Erzgeberg moun tains. The most interesting of these lo calities is the Tliuringia mountain dis trict. Situated in upper Saxony, its time and industry are entirely givou up to the pioductiou of playthings in pa pier mache, china, glass, wool, wood and far.—Baltimore Herald. A Cliriitma. I"vr Idyl. The hour was late; the lignts burned low, The Are but half dispelled the gloom; A youth and maid, with cheeks aglow, Sat silent In the room. i"Twas Christmas eve, and half In Jest They would not say good night, because They'd vowed to watch and do their best To see old Santa Claus. < ,Elow ticked the clock; they said no word; The solemn midnight hour drew near, KAnd still no telltale sound was heard Of Santa coming near.

IMPRUDENCE ON THE SAIL FIELD ENDS IN MISERY. Exposure Causes the Downfall of Many Athletes The Story of a Man who was Stricken. Fi'om the Free Prest, Detroit, Mich. "You talk about ball playing," said Charlea W. Churchill, of (10 Miami Ave., Detroit, the well known traveling salesman, who sells computing scales throughout Michi gan, 11 1 will never forget the experience I had while playing this game two years ago. " Like all young men I played ball, in fact during mv college days I was quite a hall player. 1 had all the qualifications to be a pro fessional pluyer, hut instead, secured a place as a traveling salesman. "Two years ago while spending a day in a small junction town in this State, some of us traveling men went in the suburbs to see a scrub ball game. " Well, to make the story short I got into the game in less than live minutes and was doing more talking and running than 1 had for years. "1 became all warmed up and had my coat, vest and hat oil'. Every time I made a circuit of the bases I would lay down on the ground and try to cool oil*. "This was a dangerous thing to do in my heated state, and the next morning I could scarcely walk. The physician that was called, said 1 had rheumatism. I was taken home on a cot. "For nine weeks I stayed in my room and for seven of those weeks I was on my back in the hod. "The day I played that game I weighed 148 pounds, and when I commenced to he well 1 enough to he out again, 1 only weighed lid I pounds. I When you want to look on the bright side of things, use SAPOLIO OLD DINGER FINGERS. The New York Sun prints the fol lowing amusing article concerning the battle of Gettysbujg: '•The artilleiy fire at Gettysburg," said a gunner of the old war, "was simply magnificent. I was in an Ohio battery, posted on Cemetery Hill. We were running short of am munition, when Gen. Meade, dismiss ing his staff below, rode with a single orderly to our exposed position. The boys were all at white heat and in a state of frenzy, because the ammuni tion called for had not come. They heard the quiet man on horseback say repeatedly to the Captain that the hill must be held at ail hazards, ammuni tion or no ammunition. This vexed them, but they knew that the officer, whoever he was, spoke the truth, and they began to collect the unexploded shells that had been fired at them from the Confederate batteries. "There were a great many of these scattered over our part of the hill, and when Gen. * Meade comprehended what the boys were doing he was greatly pleased. He dismounted, and in a quiet sort of a way proieeded to supervise the collection of shells. He was in fatigue dress and wore no shoulder straps, and none of the men recognized him. They thought he was some ordinance officer, and finally, when he turned his horse over to his orderly and proceeded to carry shells himself, they did not resent his super vision. As a rule the shells were heavier than the General expected, and he did not compare with the stal wart artillerymen rushing about with the recklessness and energy of mad men. "John Snicker was one of trie best men in the battery, but was rough in speech and action. Seeing, as he sup posed, a Lieutenant or Captain fruin the outside stooping to pick up a shell he pushed the officer aside with the remark: 'Get out of this, old Ginger Fingers! Your mind's willin', but your body's weak, and you are in the way.' Meade, surprised and amused, stood aside. A few minutes later Gen. Warren and staff rode up for a conference with Meade, and the cat was out of the bag. "Snicker was so overwhelmed with confusion that he almost had a fit. The Sergeant tried to comfort him with the assurance that Gen. Meade would excuse informality under such circumstances, but John insisted that what scared him was that he never came so near kicking a man in his life without doing it as he did Gen. Meade when he stooped to pick up the shell. He was grieved to think he hadn't recognized Meade, and was in a panic whenever he thought about what might have happened had he acted on the impulse and kicked the General com manding the army." "No, indeed; Eveyln would not marry a man for his money." "If I couldn't get his money while we were engaged," she exclaimed, earnestly, " I'd let it go!" And yet the world, tenacious of its fond delusions, insists that women are sometimes mercenary.—Detroit Journal. T WE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. P.* " I took nearly everything that has ever hern prescribed for rheumatism, and had the heal of medical attendance but was not benefited much. I was told that I would probably he crippled for years. " I had about given up all hopes of ever being able to go on the road again, when I read an article in my paper about a case of rheumatism almost identical with my own tlint had been cured by Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. "1 decided to try the pills and bought two boxes of them. They gave me some relief mid 1 bought Bix more boxes. I soon gained strength and flesh every day and continued using the pills until I was entirely free from uil pain. "That is why I reepmmend Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People to those suffering from rheumatism." 0. W. Churchii.i, This is to certify that Mi.
