Observance of the Sacred Holiday Amid Decoration of Christmas Greeu. Christmas comes but onceayear, and everybody Tuesday aeemed desirous to make the most possible of the happy event. There have been few observ ances of the day in this place more pleasurable than that of Tuesday. It was a time of family reunions, of visitinj? and good cheer. A small army of young people from all directions far and near, came back occe more to brighten the fireside and cheer the home circle. Colleges, stores, business houses and workshops all Rave their generous quota to the glad event. They all brought tokens of remembrance, and each found similar love expressions awaiting them. Most of the home-comer6 arrived the day before and were present at some one of the entertainments in the churches. Every Sunday school had something nice to offer . nd when the nrnram wer ende.i mr v oonaratular.0 rf D nnno unn hanri.ahab-inrro coro niuon no I -uv. v 1 v nv" I the faces oi former f rier.ds were once more among their numbe lhe streets on Chriöthias eve were lively as a holiday in sunvuer. (iroups of children, youth and adults wer returning from the churchei, witb parcels and bundle., and talkinc in high lee. Mr. Jack Frost was out ?oo for a lark, - ... and he nipped the chet-ks of maidens and touched the ears and noses with vermilion of all who dared to breathe his icy breath. Hut nobody cared for him: he was all forgotten in their laughter. Cantatas and songs, Christmas trees and recitations, tilled out the hour at th3 various schools, and each had its pretty decorations. A feature of the evening at the Presbyterian church was the reception of voluntary gifts for the needy. The grocery stores generally assisted in these contribu ions, and during Tuesday forenoon the committee in charge was sending them out in many directions. George Vinall had generously furnished the delivery wagon for that purpose, and his delivery clerk, Fred Martiadale, is entitled to great praise for his generous service m helping to find the places and delivring the loads through the forenoon s cold. At the public institutions the dinner was made the occasion of much cheer. The hotels the Ross house and the Kelli8on presented a menu of excep tional elegance, and ttit "stranger within our gates" enjoyed as fine a din ner as ne couia nave wisned at nis own home. At the county jail the prisoners, four in number, were given an excellent din ner from the same viands that the sheriff's family had on their own table. They were permitted to eat together in the hall. During the day the prisoners eceived visits from their friends and were allowed to hold free conversation with them. At the county infirmary Superintend ent and Mrs. Kruyer made an extra dinner to their large family of fortythree persons. A Christmas tree had been arranged in the reception room on the evening before and tach inmate received a small present. A program of singing was arranged by the inmates and the occasion no doubt was as greatly enjoyed by ihose unfortunate ones as the moie elaborate exercises at at other places. Mr. and Mrs. Kruyer take a genuine interest in the hapless people who are sent there to receive a home, and they make occasions or tnis Kina me means oi coniriouung a pieasure to their lives. ai migniBiue me 100 coiiuren, woo a a.

The new cottage Junior annex is completed and forty-five small boys, ranging in age from two to ten years, have been transferred to that building. Mrs. M. A. Taintor, of Muncie, an institution worker of many year's experience, is in charge. The building is a model of neatnebs and convenience and has a capacity for fifty boys. Miss Dorsey in charge at "Phyllis Memorial Cottage" has twenty-six little girls un der ten and can care for ten more. In addition to the little girls, Miss Dsrsey will care for all boy babies under two years of age. A 20 by 24 addition to the barn has been built to accomodate the eight COWS necessary tO Supply milk Ifor the children, and an ice-house will be pat up In the near future. An invoice of farm products makes a good showing, Nearly twelve hundred bushels and a thousand bushels of potatoes have been stored, and the plentiful supply of shredded corn-fodder stored away,

makes the short hay crop a matter of

small account. After weeks of pleasant anticipation on the part of the teachers, the Xmas festivities began Fridav, the 21st, with exercises in school consisting of songs and recitations appropriate to the season.

One-half of the fines collected 'n prosecutions under these two sections shall be paid to the person who institutes the prosecutions and se cures the conviction of the offender. Part of the fourth section is as fol lows: "It shall be unlawful to take, catch or kill, or attempt to take, catch or kill any fish in any of the inland lakes or ponds, except private ponds, of this state, by means of any spear, seine, puuu uei, gui uei, uiy uei ur auj kiuu of net or claptrap except a minnow net, i . : 1 1 . .

Before the license is granted, however, the clerk must have the affidavit of two credible Dersons residing in the count v where the lake to be hshed in is situatd to the ettect that such lake has 1 in it ciscoes, and the applicant must also file an affidavit agreeing to take no other kind of fish.

Michaels officiating. They left on the 2:15 passenger for Milwaukee, where the groom has an established profession and a home prepared for his bride. Miss Quivey is well known in Marshall county, having taught several terms of school in her home vicinity before taking up her work as stenographer in Chicago. The friends from a distance who attended the wedding were: Eugene Hutchins, of Chicago, a brother of the groom: and Dr. and Mrs. Durr and daughter Grace, of Plymouth. fii nniTAT ii a rniinin nf Mr Dr. Durr. Christutas Presents. Many people who cannot afford in justice to themselves, to purchase costly gifts, sometimes impose unnecessary burdens upon themselves by giving be - yond their means or else refrain from giving altogether says the South Bend Times. Let it be remembered that it is not the costliness of the gift which signiGea so much as the motive which prompts the giver. He who gives the modest and inexpensive gift, but puts his heart into it, gives more than does the individual who gives in a perf unct

ory way or merely because he considers

himself under obligation to do 6o, though his gift- are both rich and costly. Those who will remember this m.i act accordingly will bring genuine pleasure both to themselves and the recipients of their gifts. WILL WOOD IN TKOtKLK.
