The sweet emotions it inspires are sympathetic—and they are universal. Other legends may dim and fade, but the traditions that cluster around the white, bright brow of Santa Claus will thrill the heart of humanity as long as little children live to love and be loved. The festival spirit reigns supreme Grandmothers aroused by the babble of memory will glow again as they Watch the raptures of the little ones, and feel once more the tingling delights that fifty years ago stirred their souls. Happiness, like history, repeats itself—and we have citne t again to the season of light hearts and happiness. It is no time to look back upon the world—for that which has gone holds nothing like the interest to be found in wondering about and preparing for the morrow. This season, the sweetest of all the year, is the one which softens our hearts toward | all mankind, and puts in our breast a new desire to be of even greater service to those about us. It is this rebirth of good and kindly hope toward our brothers that makes for we of maturer years the same measure of happiness that the toy and the trinket makes for those of tender age. To you and to yours, to all citizens of Adams county and to those afar whose homes are opened daily to the welcome visits of this paper—we wish the merriest Christmas that you have ever known. Into each and every life may Happiness come, and ! find a permanent abiding place. We'

’'wish you health a« you celebrate the birth of One who taught you the right path to everlasting Happiness. . We wish you the joy of reunion with . those who are near and dear to you. • We wish you the fullest measure of . sunny smiles and childish laughter. We wish you all that will lighten your heart, contribute to your happi--1 ness and increase your prosperity. ‘ We wish you not only for this week but for all the weeks that shall be i allotted to you the power to Love your fellowmen —the same kind of Love that keeps the world worth living in. In the spirit of old Rip Van Winkle of story-book time: — "HERE’S TO (YOUR HEALTH, AND TO YOVR FAMILY'S GOOD HEALTH—MAY YOU LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.” Marse Henry Watterson the world's foremost editor, whose opinion was for so many years anxiously looked for and carefully read, who for sixty years was recognized as a leader of thought in America, is dead. Though more than four score years of age j and for several years retired from active duties, the news shocked this country He had known intimately each president of this nation since the days of Adams and his stories of Washington incidents were indeed worth reading. He had the most catching way of saying the thing on his mind in such a style as to make you remember it as well as to make ’ it the more widely read. For many years he edited the Louisville Cour- 1 ier journal and was quoted on every 1 public question. Marse Henry was 1 the last of the old school of Greeley and perhaps the best writer of them all. We wish he could have been 1 spared another hundred years to spread his happy gfoepel. He is ered- ‘ ited with having helped to heal the breech between the north and south 1 as much as any man in the country 1 nd he did many other fine acts. ______________ t — - — Tjhote who visited the Berne audi I torium last evening as guests of the bankers of that progressive town are ’ effusive in their praises. It is a wonderful building and will prove the greatest step ever taken by any com- - munity in this county to bring bar- : i mony among her people and to give real enjoyment to her citizens. The ' building, though not yet dedicated, is in use almost every evening and is alreadv a very popular place. The j ( bankers of Berne are a fine bunch of , men. hospitable, courteous and capable and their guests last evening are . ;-ll boosters for them.

Have you bought your share of Christmas seals? The money thus raised is for the purpose of fighting ’utrt-i osis, great white plague, a worthy cause and one in which you should enter with the greatest enthusiasm and a real desire to help. Its about over. The last few days should make the total here the largest ever. Use the seals on your Christmas packages. They are neat and attractive and they mean even more than the ordinary stamp. We came slipping to work this morning over icy streets as the result of a slight fall of freezing rain during the night. Tbe roads were slick and dangerous and there were man’ near accidents.

Impressive and beautiful services will be held at the St. Mary's Catholic church on Christmas day. The church is always beautifully decorated on this day and at one of the side altars a crib is erected wherein, rests an image of the Infant Jesus. Standing by the crib are three small statues representing the Three Kings from the East, while at the top of the manger a star signifies the location of the birthplace of the Infant Jesus. The altars look like a burning mass of candles, so beautifully are they decorated with the burning lights. As has been the custom for a number of years the members of the congregation will receive Holy Communion in a body, either at the five o’ctock or at the seven-thirty mass. On Christmas day the privilege is granted to the priests to say three masses and beginning at five o'clock a solemn high mass will be said, a low mass at seven-thirty and another solemn high mass at nine-forty-five. Masses will also be said in between the r ialar scheduled masses, nine masses in ail being said on this day. As Christmas day is the day of all days for charity, the annual collection for tbe Orphans will be taken up at the three regular masses.
