CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1907
*T*he Kaiser's
* Christmas.
PROBABLY 110 European court
gives Christmas presents on so
extended a scale as the kaiser's.
Every one gives presents to ev
ery one else, and for weeks liefore
Christmas secret inquiries nre made
about the most suitable gifts to be
stow. The empress and her seven chil
dren mysteriously dash a!>out Berlin
and Potsdam, visiting Jewelers, toy
■hops and other establishments where
something new or striklug is to be had,
•nd they hold a levee every morning
of tradesmen whom they have no time
to visit.
The kaiser does no shopping him
self, hut he is the greatest Christmas
box giver of all, and his presents in
•very case exactly lit the desires of the
happy recipient. Early In December
he makes a list of the persons to whom
he intends making presents. Ills wife
heads the list, and at the foot Is usual
ly some old pensioner or Invalided
housekeejK?r who has served the Ho
henzollerns for half a century.
Soon liefore Christinas the royal mint
sends the kaiser a bag of bright, new
HH BELLOWED OUT THE ONE WORD "MA
JEBTAET!"
gold twenty and ten mark pieces aud
another of silver live mark pieces. Ills
majesty fills his pockets when he goes
walking in the parks at Potsdam, and
the little children and old men and
women who are fortunate enough to
meet him or soldiers standing sentry,
stamping in the snow, are certain of a
gift, accompanied not Infrequently by
a joke.
The kaiser's best side is seen at
Christmas. There is a story current
that once near the palace of Sans
Souci the kaiser came upon a half
frozen sentinel with very red nose and
eyes. The sentinel, with stiff fingers,
brought his rifle to the salute.
"Cold day," said his majesty. The
sentinel did not reply, but his teeth
chattered.
"How long have you been on dutyV"
asked the kaiser. Still no reply.
"Stupid!" said his majesty. "Why
don't you speak when 1 address you?"
The sentinel moved his jaws and lips,
but no word escaped. The kaiser burst
out laughing and, turning to his ad
jutant, said:
"Take this chap into the palace, put
him before a fire, thaw him out, par
ticularly his jaws, see he gets a big
hot drink and a big feed, and, here,"
turnfcig to th(? sentry, "take this and
drink my health and the empress'!"
The soldier found voice at last. He
bellowed out the one word "Majes
taet!"
The empress Is always practical with
her gifts. Every year her majesty
grows more popular among the best el
ements of the people. Her unassuming
ways, entire freedom from hauteur,
consideration for servants and kindly
Interest in the welfare of the poor and
helpless endear her In ever widening
circles of Germans. She Is fond of pre
senting ladies with costly lace.
The young princes, headed by the
crown prince, show little discrimina
tion in their gifts—searfpins, rings,
dogs, cigarette cases, matchboxes, and
so 011, being their staple gifts, varied
sometimes by a book, a picture or a
statuette. Victoria Louise's gifts of
dolls to her friends are numerous. To
favored friends she does not mind pre
senting kitchen ranges and furnished
dolls' houses. She is In close asso
elation with the matrons' and soldiers'
orphanages at Potsdam, and the num
ber of little girls who receive her gifts
Is enormous. Stores of oranges and
honey cakes are collected by her for
distribution on Christmas eve.—New
York World.
An Old Christmas Custom.
A century or two ago there was a
custom in Germany for all the parents
In a town or village to send the pres
ents they designed for their children to |
one chosen individual, who called at 1
each house clad in a motley robe, a :
mask and a huge flaxen wig. Knock- j
Ing on the door, he called In a loud I
voice for all the good children to ap- !
pear and receive the gifts which the !
Christ Child, the Christ-Kindleln, had
sent them. This was the primeval!
Kriss Krlngle. Coleridge describes 1 hi> j
custom and records that the bad little j
children had a rod left for their cor- |
redloll.—Brooklyn Citizen.
Christmas li\
Cactus Center.
WOMEN'S scarce in Cactus Cen
ter, and there ain't no bar
gain stores
Fer to start them Monday rushes that
break down the stoutest doors,
But we had some Christmas shoppin'
that the town ain't over yet,
Jest because of one small woman and
a drug store toilet set.
She was Cactus Center's teacher, and
she hadn't left the stage
'Fore she had the boys plum locoed,
and I don't bar youth nor age.
She was cute and smart and pretty,
and she might 'a' been here yet
If It hadn't been for Dawson and hia
drug store toilet set.
It was old and scratched and speckled,
fer 'twas in his case fer years,
But old Dawson, sharp and clever, put
a whisper in our ears —
'Lowed he'd sell that set at auction, and
he says, "Now, boys, you bet
Thia'll make a hit with teacher—thla
here swell new toilet set."
IT WAS THEN UEOUN THE KHOOTIN'.
Well, the biddin' started lively, and it
got to gittin' hot,
Fer every mind in Cactus on that sin
gle thing was sot.
Purty soon I'd staked my saddle, worth
two hundred dollars net,
Just to own fer one short second that
blamed drug store toilet set.
It was then begun the shootin', no one
seems to know jest how,
And 'twas lack of ammernition that at
last broke up the row,
And thirteen of us was hurted, but the
worst blow that we met
Was in findin' that some bullets had
gore through that toilet set.
But we plugged the punctures in it, and
we plugged the wounded, too,
And agreed we'd arbitrate it, and the
bunch 'd see it through,
So we sent a gift committee, but they
came back sorer yet,
Fer the teacher 'd fluttered eastward,
so we have that toilet set.
—Denver Republican.
CHRISTMAS NEAR THE POLE.
Where Seal Meat and Whale's Blubbei*
Take Turkey's Place.
"I think Christmas, 1883, was my
most memorable one,-" said General
Greely, the artlc explorer. "With my
command I was proceeding southward
in the hoj>e of obtaining help, and
about the 20th of October we en
sconced ourselves In a little hut at
Cape Sabine. Our supply of food was
running very low, and we were on
very short rntions, every one being al
lowed just food enough in each twen
ty-four hours to sustain life. Under
these depressing circumstances and
amid the awful silence of the polar
night the cheerfulness that wo contin
ued to maintain was remarkable.
"Christmas day came at last—Christ
mas in the arctic regions! At (5 o'clock
we had our breakfast—thin soup made
of peas, carrots, blubber and potatoes.
Our Christmas dinner was served at 1
o'clock—first course, a stew of seal
meat, onions, blubber, potatoes and
breadcrumbs; second course, served
one hour after first, a stew of raisins,
blubber and milk; dessert, a cup of
hot chocolate. One of our party had
somo tobacco still left, aud he very
kindly made a cigarette for each one
in our little party.
"I will wager that in all Christen
dom that day not another present was
given or received that gave sur'.; in
tense delight to the recipients as did
those little rolls of tobacco and paper.
They were quickly atlame aud bc-iug
puffed away at far dear life, and thus
my most memorable Christmas—a
Christmas near the north pole—ended
In smoke."—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Vacations as Christmas Presents.
In a letter to the employees of the
Bourne mills of Kail River, Mass., an
nouncing the regular profit sharing div
idend 011 Dec. 24 last, Treasurer George
A. Chase said: "The board of directors
has unanimously authorized me to an
nounce to you the experiment of a va
cation week in August, 1907. The mills
will close Aug. 24 and reopen Sept. I?,
thus allowing you ten days of rest and
recreation. In lieu of regular pay you
will get an extra dividend on your
wages, payable just before the vaca
tion, to the amount of 50 per eent of
the average weekly wages." This
promise was faithfully kept.
