'Twas the Week |
Before Christmas
MY folks act funny nowadays —
I can't tell what is going on.
When ma comes in she always says.
"\Vhat bundles come when 1 w as gone ?
An if 1 touch a closet dooi
Ot hunt for playthings anywhere
Somebody runs acrost the floor
And say» I "mustn't go m there!
My sister talks a heap with ma.
But whispers when I come aroun .
An' they hide things away so pa
Won't see 'em when he comes from town,
t told pa all about it too ;
He only laughed, an said to me,
"This time o' year it's best for you
Not to observe the things you see.
"HAVK TOP BF.F.N LOOKING?"
There's packages behind the bed
In ma s room. When I found them there
i ast her what they was. She said,
"Have you been looking ) I declare I
An' now they're gone ; but there s a lot
Of bundles in the cellar, though.
An ma says she won t tell me what
They are, for i don't need to know.
Ma hides things from my sister —yes.
An' sister she hides things from ma.
They re sewin somepm not a dress,
An' both of them hide that from pal
There's lomepm poked behind the books.
But pa he's gone an turned the lock ;
An' near ai I can see, it looks
Lake somepin s hid behind the i lock.
My folks acts funny—l can t see
Why they should all drop ever thing
An pick some errand out for me
Whenever they hear our bell ring;
An' I ain't treated right, nohow.
It don't seem ]Ust exactly fair
Wherever 1 am started now-
One of em says, "Don't go in there !

Some rain at different times last
night and showers of hail, with inter

A ( arloua luatoiu of Oxfordshire.
In some places in Oxfordshire, Eng
land, it was the right of every maid
servant to ask the hired man for a bit
of Ivy to trim the house. If he turned
s deaf ear to her importunities or for
got her request she would steal a pair
of his breeches and nail them to the
gate in the yard or on the highway.
This was supposed to debar him from
all privileges of the mistletoe.
For SI. Mchiilns' W hlte Horse.
In Belgium the children expect the
good St. Nicholas to visit them. They
think he rides on a white horse, so they
polish their shoes with great care, fill
them with hay, oats or carrots for the
saint's horse and put them in the fire
place or on a table, and in the morning,
instead of the forage, they find sticks
for the bad children and candies for
the good ones.

The laurel being an evergreen makes
a striking feature in a winter land

in the Christmas dressing of churches
for wreaths and other decorations.
Mountain laurel can be grown for dec

The Animals
At Christmas
SAID Santa Claus. "Ti» Christmas eve
(The animals looked pleasant).
And each of you will now receive
His yearly Christmas present
But I'd be Iliad if every «uest
Would mention what he'd like tha best.
The Tapir said : "That pleases me.
I'll atate auccinctly, therefore.
II I may be so bold and free
The only thing I care for
Would be those matches on the shelf.
With which I'd like to light myself."
His wish wa» |ra.nted Then up spake
A timid little Adder:
"Sir. but a trifle it will take
To make my Christmas gladder;
A slate and pencil, if you please.
Would let me do my sums with ease."
The Reindeer said: "You may believe
I'd be a happy fellow
II I were sure I would receive
A good sized umberrellow ;
And also I'd like four golosh-
Es and a rubber mackintosh."
The Pig a fountain pen desired;
The Cow tin horns requested;
The Horse, for a new hat acquired.
Hia gratitude attested.
The Caterpillar said: "I am
Proud of my caterpillarsham."
So all of them were gay and glad.
And ihey were happy, very ;
They liked the presents that they had
And waxed exceeding merry.
Dear humans, at your Christmas feast®.

HIS CHRISTMAS SERMON.
An Aged Wayfarer Who Taught a
(unite Con tent went.
All English clergyman declares that
the best Christmas sermon he ever
heard was preached by a wol KlN— and
in three words!
•'ln my little parish, under the sweep
of the Sussex dowus," he says,"l was
walking swiftly home one night buffet
ed about by the gray clouds of driving
rain that the fierce sou'wester swept
landward from th * sea when a poor
helpless, aged woman asked me for ft
tritle for a night's lodging.
"Curates are supposed always to bt
poor. It was Christmas time, and I
had just parted with my last sixpenct
at a lonely hamlet where work wa
scaree. Still I could not leave my
stranger in the street, so I asked hei
to come with me to my lodgings.
"She shambled along through the
mud with her streaming clothes and
clouted boots, and we entered my little
room. My thoughtful landlady ba<
made my table ready. A plate of ho'
toast was standing in the fender; the
kettle sang vociferously, as if intpa
tient to be used; iu front of 'ho tire
stood my slippers and an easy chair.
"To my surprise, my poor, worn, hag
gard companion raised her dripping
hands and burst into tears with the
words, 'Oh, what luxury!"
"That was the best Christmas ser
mon 1 ever heard, and the only one 1
have never forgotten."—Youth's Com
panion.
ClirtfitniaN Day In lln«»l».
In certain parts of Russia the chil
dren at Christmas eve begin playing
pranks that are as odd as they are
amusing, chief among their drolleries
is that of disguising themselves as ani
mals and in the assumed c isttime of
wild beasts disporting themselves
through the neighborhood. As many
skins as possible are secured, and in
these the leading boys are clad. Wolves,
bears, ostriches even, are represented.
All of the boys gather in one party,
those who are not posing as brutes
forming a train for the escort and dis
play of the pseudo menagerie. Some
act as keepers, holding their disguised
companions in check, while others star
tle the quiet of the night by rude
strains drawn from harsh and primi
tive musical instruments. Torches are
. borne, and in the fitful light, opposed
by black shadows, the scene is at once
grotesque and vivid.

ChriatinaN Present*.
The giving of presents on Christmas
day undoubtedly owes its orlg'n to a
general idea to carry into practice the
biblical mandate, "Peace on earth;
good will to men." At first the great
lords made presents to their retainers,
nnd the season was marked by uni
versal charity. Hv degrees the practice
of Christina's giving spread until now
everybody gives his or her friends pres
ents.

MINOR MATTERS
OF INTEREST
PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS
The pupils of the public schools of
town are looking forward with pleas
ant anticipation to a week's vacation
between Christmas and New Year's.
During the present week much atten
tion lias been given to the preparation
of a Christinas program, which will
be rendered in some of the schools be
fore closing tomorrow.
Throughout the rural districts the
closing of the schools between Christ
mas aud New Year's is not a universal
rule. The matter rests entirely with
the authorities in the several districts
atid|in some of these the directors will
elect to have school next week.

IN KEEPING WITH CHRISTMAS.
With a prize turkey guarding en
trance to the door and the interior
gaily decorated with holly and trail
ing pine the bowling alley in com
mon with other establishments about
town presents ail aspect quite in keep
ing with the spirit of Christinas. A
wreath of holly is hanging at each
window iu full view from the outside
while all about the chandeliers and
along the walls are graceful festoons
of trailing pine, which sets the inter
ior off iu fine stylo.

LADIES' DAY.
Ladies arc at all times welcome at
the Bowling Alleys,where ample seat
ing capacity has been furnished in
full view of the fascinating game. As
a general thing the ladies understand
their prerogative and in increasing
numbers they are dropping in daily to
see the players. One of the proprietors
yesterday stated that so many inquiries
I are made by the gentle sex concerning
ilie privilege of playing that immedi
ately after the Holidays a "Ladies'
Hay" will be inaugurated at the Al
i leys.
SCHOOL DIRECTORS
OF NORTH'D COUNTY
The scho il directors of Northumber
land county met in annual session in
I court rot mi number two, Sunhury,
Wednesday morning.
| The meeting was called to order at
10:30 o'clock by H. P. Raup, of Tur
botville, vice president of the associa
tion. After the rending of the minutes
by Secretary II W. Armstrong,of Mc
! Kwcn-vijle. the election of officers was
called for, but it was decide ! this
should be done at the annual meeting
in January.
O. C. Fuller, of Lewis, the presi
dent of the association, lieing absent
his address was necessarily omitted.
General business being in order the
time for the annual meeting was fixed
for the last Thursday in .January, 1908.
.1. B. McCloughan, of Rush, was
next called for on the subject "What
Effect Will Recent School Legislation
Have Ujion the Directors. " Mr. Mc-
Cloughan being unavoidably absent
the subject was discussed in general
by members present. High school tui
tion and vaccination receiving the
most attention.
Prof. Preston W. Si-rach then de
livered a masterly address, beginning
by asserting his sjiecial interest in
Northuuinberland county as his father
was born in that county. He dwelt
especially on the country school, stat
ed there was nothing in the city school
could compare with the country school
if the latter was properly organized;
the city gained much of its strength
from country acquisition ; self reliance
in the country school as compared with
the dependence pervading city school
pupils; it conditions of buildings.sur
roundings and often teachers were the
same, country schools would.be in
tinitelv better than city schools ; teach-
ITS should IH* selected oil merit only
and not because of family influence or
similar circumstances : directors should
jierfonn the duties required without
fear or favor; good school houses
should he maintained and the director
should he the leader of public senti
ment favorable to good buildings, good
teachers, salaries sufficient to induce
good men to enter the teachers' profes
sion. Prof. Search delivered one of
the most practical, terse and pointed
addresses that has been heard in recent
years on a%imilar occasion.
After some more remarks by the
members 011 the vaccination question
the roll was called and between 50 and
♦SO were found present.
In these latest days before Christmas
it is well for all of us not only to
' consider the poor but also to "con
sider" the overworked in the stores
and in the post office. There is not
much that is •'merry" or joyful for
these in the days preceding Christmas
day,and they generally reach the bless
ed day itself too utterly wearied and
worn out for its enjoyment. Our "pat
ernal" government does most emphat
ically the unfair thing by its post
office employes. It neglects or refuses to
make appropriations that would make
possible the employment of extra
clerks at the Christmastide shopping
and mailing season. The sticklers for
an eight hour day for themselves may
well consider the lot of those who for
weeks at this time of year are forced
to work many extra hours without an
added dollar of compensation. None of
us would like to be compelled to do it.
Let each one try to add as little hard
ship as possible to the overworked ones
in the post office and to the work of
those behind the counters who must
serve smilingly and attentively though
ready to drop with fatigue. For after
all the very essence and the crown of
Christmas giving is Christmas living—
the living out of the spirit of Christ
mas of which one of the components
is, as all admit, ''good will to men."
"Goix | will" cousiderateness, kind
ness, not to our own chosen friends
onlvjnor yet'oiily to those \\hom 4 we
deem objects of charity, but to all
serially to those who scve us in our
rush and hurry in these days l>efore
the Christmas dawn.
The happiest jiersons on Christmas
will be the children and the adults
who have made it possible tor the
worthy jxtor to enjoy some of the
pleasures of the «lad Christmas tide.

AUTO LICENSES WILL
ENRICH THE STATE
Yesterday was the day set for the is
suing of licenses for automobile oper
ators and tags for automobiles from
the State Highway Department, under
the law passed by the last Legislature.
Up to the present there have been
about .'IOO applications for licenses,but
none have been issued for the reason
that the tags have not yet arrived.
They were shipped some time ago, but
were delayed on the road.
The first license issued will be to
Harry S. Beidler, of Doylestown, a
constituent of Senator Grimm, the fa
ther of the automobile bill. Senator
Grimm made tin; request that Mr.
Beidler be given license No. 1.
The division has been fully organiz
ed and is in charge of Roy D. Reman,
with H. M. Gutshall, of Meadville, as
assistant, and William Linn, of Phila
delphia, as clerk. A stenographer will
be announced later.
Mr. Reman says the distribution of
licenses will begin in a few days, or
as soon as the tags arrive. After Jan
uary 1 all operators of automobiles
must have a license, obtaining it from
the State Highway Department, for
which they pay s.!, which entitles them
to a tag for the automobile they drive.
The applications come from all over
the State, the most of them from the
big cities.
The revenue of the. department, de
rived from the sale of licenses, will
amount annually to about $25,000, from
which the expenses of the department
will he defrayed. As soon as the law
is fully understood the rush for li
censes will !«' something enormous. It
is said that in Philadelphia alone then
are several thousand automobiles, and
the police will take good care that the
owners pay the fee and display only
the tag issued by the State.

LACKAWANNA ROAD
SUFFERS BIG FIRS
NEW YORK, Dec. "-'O.—The two
new ferry houses ami >lip> of the Cen
tral railroad of New Jersey ami the
Delaware ami Lackawanna near the
foot of 23rd street, were practically
destroyed by fire this morning.
The tire started near the waiting
room of the Delaware and Lackawanna
ferry house, the more notherly of the
two, and which ran from Twenty-Sec
ond to Twenty-third street, along the
North River. A brisk wind was blow
ing from the north, spreading the
flames with remarkable speed through
the entire structure.
The building was soon a mass of
flames, which communicated to the
Central ferry house,'located along the
river front from Twenty-first to Twen
ty-second street.
The ferry boat Hamburg, on which
there were 500 passengers was in the
Lackawanna slip when the fire broke
out but its pilot quickly pulled out in
to the stream away from danger. A
number of painters were at work on
this structure and they had to run for
their lives. It is thought that one of
the lamps used by the painters explod
ed, and started the fire.
John Horner, the ticket agent for
the 1). L.and W. is the only person
injured so far as known. He carried
out $41,000 in money and tickets from
the safe and had to make a couple of
trips to do it. He was burned and
scorched about the face and arms on
his second trip, an incident which
shows the rapidity with which the fire
spread.
The loss will probably exceed half a
million of dollars.
