St. Augustine’s Church Notes. Monday, Dec. 25, the church celebrates the feast of the Nativity if Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The exact day of Our Lord’s birth on earth has never been revealed to us, but the Catholic church has from early ages set apart for its solemn celebration the 25th day of December. In the 4 east, however, the birthday of our Lord is kept on the 6th of January, and for that reason the one and the other festival has been continued, that of Dec. 25 as the Nativity of our Lord; that of January 6th as His manifestation to the Gentiles. “Let us therefore make him a little chamber and put a little 'bed in it for him and a table, and a stool, and a candlestock, that when he cometh to us he may abide there” (IV Kings IV-13). Such was the Sunamite woman’s regard for the Prophet Eliseus, that she would make such preparations for his entertainment. Will we do as much for Christ who is ready to come to us? Take pains, Christians, to occupy this night in pious thoughts and aspirations for the love of God 1 and for the good of your soul making yurself worthy to receive the graces j which He is ready when He comes to i give you. f On Christmas day the order of services will be: The first.highmass with sermon at 5 o’clock. This solemn service will be followed by two other masses. The second mass with a short meditation on the mysteries of the feast of the day at 8. The third mass at 9. Rosary, solemn highmass and sermon at 10. The Rev. L. Spornhauer, of St. Joseph’s college, will preach the sermon at this mass. Benediction with the Blessed Sacrament will follow the solemn highmass. Sunday, the fourth Sunday in Advent, the order of services will be: First mass at 7:30. Rosary, highmass and sermon at 10. Instruction for the children that do not attend the parochial school after highmass. The parochial school will dismiss today for the Christmas holidays and will reopen on the second of January.

Queer Customs

“There was a missionary from Japan at Sunday school this morning,' said Anna, “and be told us about all the funny things the people do over there. “People In Japan are very polite, he said, and when they meet each other one will say, ’How is your beautiful and angelic wife thjs morning?* The other one will answer, ‘Oh, the old slob is waddling around all right How is your grand >nd bully wife** ‘Oh, the old stick in the mud is all right* “How are those bright and Intelligent young lowels, your children?* 'Oh, the insignificant young brats are well, and how are those beautiful and obedient young dears of yours V “When the weather is warm they wear one kimono, when it is chilly they wear two kimonos, when it Is cold they wear three, and when It is bitterly cold they wear “four.” "That arrangement wouldn’t wor.t well In this country,’* commented Un cle Dick. “I have heard mothers say, ‘Wear your coat, dear,’ and then 1 have heard children say, ‘Oh no, mother, it isn’t cold at all.’ It seems to me that when the mothers would think it four kimono weather the kids would say it was only two kimono weather, and there would be no argument as m how many kimonos cold it was. “Lots of people I know say It is Just right when it is cold as Greenland. If 1 had on four kimonos and a guy came snickering along and said it was only two kimono weather there woufd be tiouble.”

“The missionary said.’’ continued Anna, without noticing Uncle Dick’s i nterruption, ‘that when the boys and girls play ball they often have theii little brothers and sisters strapped to their shoulders, and they get up and bat and run just the same as if they weren't carrying the kids on theii backs.” “What of it?” said Uncle Dick. “Without doubt this treatment is sat Isfactory to the little fellows. That’s one of the troubles of little brothei life in this country. The little shaver can’t get into the midst of everything. But strapped to the back of a husky brother he can share in all the adven tures.” • “They are very crowded chore, too," continued Anna. “They don’t have streets as we do here, and each family l.ving in a house to itself. They cui thru one another’s houses and courts all the time.” “I wouldn’t object to that, etyher,” answered Uncle Dick. “Most people are lonely. There isn’t enough society. With people passing thru the house all the time we could never be lonely, and would have a fine chance to get the news from them. “There’s a pretty girl living on the next block. I wish to goodness she ha ’ to pass thru this house two or three times a day.”

Yankee Doodle

Every boy in the land enjoys "Yan kee Doodle.” The ‘ grand old man” of England, Gladstone said- of this: “The Americans havef'one old song which touched the heart of every pa triot and still ring< on with fresh pow er. It is called by the quaint, but split stirring name of ‘Yankee Doodle.”’ This air came to us ’ey adoption. Its parentage is mysterious. An old history of songs says it was famous vin tage song of France; in another old history it is recorded that the Spaniards claim it; England claims it as an ancient and national ballad, sung bd fore the days of Cromwell; then the Dutchmen come and sa7 U was a song of the low countries. Whatever may be the shadowy tru ditions associated with it, we are toM that it first-appeared in America on the banks of the Hudson in 1755, being introduced into the American camp by a Dr. Sbuckburgh' of the British army Our colonial companions were at that time marching after music quite two centuries old. This Dr. Richard Snuck burgh told them that their music was :ar too old and he promised to them a new song. In b*o days the Dew song was completed; it immediately capti rated the hearts of the troops, and for the time no other song was heard. It became our battle march in the revolution. Dr. Holmes said: "This queei old, plucky, continental, saltpeter and brim stone tune has outsoldiered Its enem ies; altho given to us as a Joke, it ic-d us to our victory.” It has done much for us, and In its reckless, hoydenlsh tempo we see the bravery and the vie tory of our "old heroes. Upon this song was placed the fair name of freedom; ft enhances the glory of old Faneuil HfaH; it was a source of Inspiration to the old orators, and it was taken home by every old soldier and patriot to live forever.

A Famous Battle

A party of prominent St. Ixiuls citizens and officials recently went to Monks’ Mound near Cahokia, 111., where a great Indian battle was fought. After a trip to the mound, Russell E. Gardner and a party of friends decided to visit the scene oi the redmen’s battle. Meeting a native of thq place Gardner said: “Say, my good fellow, can you direct us to the exact spot of the famous bat tie fought in this locality V' “Well, I’ll be gol durned,” was thunexpected reply of the countryman. I did have a set to with a fresh lightning rod agent, but I ndver thought i, had reached St. Louie.”

Farmers and Poultry Raisers.

1 would like to give to you, as readers of The Republican, my idea as to what kind of poultry »• the beat to raiso now, while the price of meat and oggs are soaring sky high. My experience has taught me that a large bird, one that will lay as many or more eggs than many of the smaller breeds, arc the most profitable. There are many good standard breeds today and it costs no more to raise a standard bred bird than it does a poor one. 1 have raised several kinds, but the Partridge Plymouth itock suits me better than any other breed I have ever raised, and for the benefit of your leaders, I would like to give my reasons for selecting this breed. In the first place the Partridge Plymouth Rocks are the most beautiful fowl in America. They are the most popular of the new breeds and know no superior as a table fowl. They always look clean, a bird always presentable. They stand supreme as a bird for the suburban home and farm. They are an active (bird, a good forager and good mothers. They can always be put into a show without a wash. The Partridge Plymouth Rock’s plumage invariably improves (a great nr.ny other varieties fade) at every molt, till two or three years old. To discuss all the good qualities of this varitfy in detail would require a book in itself, but I can not leave them without some comment on their advantages. All buyers usually want a fowl of some superior merit and among the first qualifications every buyer requires in a bird arc stvle and beauty and in no breed can they find these more emphasized than in the Partridge Plymouth Rock, for in their proud, upright carriage, in the flashing plumage of the male (their well rounded greenish-black breasts and bodies, their beautiful long flowing, rich red hackles and saddles, with their brilliant greenish-black striped centers) and the magnificent creecentric penciling of the females, we certainly have style and beauty personified.

If beauty and style were their only advantages they alone would be good reasons for the great demand, but there comes their great popularity; they are in style, so to speak; they -fire in style principally because of thA great utility advantages. They are a very large bird; males weighing from nine to eleven pounds, females from seven to nine pounds. The long, symmetrically shaped body has plenty of room for a set of great egg manufacturing organs, and a great egg manufacturing plant it certainly does contain, for during the last three years they have won two great egg laying contests, and made many great individual records, and their pltimp, well rounded yellow skinned bodies have a delicious, appetizing appearance which appeals to, every buyer of the best for the table.

The Partridge Plymouth Rock combines the beautiful rich partridge color, with its wonderful contrast and even markings and trueness to type that is surprising, with the shape and form of the Barred Plymouth Rocks, which are so greatly admired. I always admire a partridge colored bird. They are to my eye truly beautiful. Plymouth Rocks have held first place in numbers of all the different breeds. But now there is only the color in the difference between the Barred and Partridge Rocks, and I am sure you will just love the partridge color, as they are truly beautiful and they are a brand new breed, one of the latest, and so firmly established that they breed truer than many of the older breeds, being such a new breed and as the type is so strongly established, they are wonderfully strong and vigorous. Wonderful layers and especially good winter layeis they are the ideal all-pur-pose fowl combining meat and egg production. There has been no other fowl combining meat and egg production. There has been no other fowl that has become so popular in so short a time; They are splendid for fries and broilers. Rapid growers, great layers, large in size. But please remember the chicken has never yet been batched that, if compelled to roost on a barbed wire fence and hunt its food out of the snow, will lay you lots of eggs, but give the Partridge Rocks good warm quarters, plenty of good food, water and sunshine, and they will bring you surprisingly good returns. —A Subscriber.

Danger. Signal. If the lire bell should ring would you run and stop it or go and help to put out the fire? It is much the same way with a cough. A rough is a danger signal as much as a fire belL You should no more try to suppress it than to stop a fire bell when it is ringing, but should cure the disease that causes the coughing. This can ' nearly always be done by taking Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Many have used it with the most beneficial results. It is especially valuable for the persistent cough that ro often follows a back cold or an attack of the grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, Andrews, Ind., writes: “During the winter my husband takes cold easily and coughs -and coughs.
