ONNECTED with the celebration of the Christmas solstice there is an iuvincible good humor which enlists the participation of all people, even of those who are indifferent to its origin and associations. It is essentially a home festival made musical with the glee of juvenile joy, and noon can offer a valid reason why its. pleasant scenes should be ignored or obliterated. The anniversary secured its perpetual recognition by dissevering itself from all social and political antagonisms. It eschews all controversy, even about its own connections, and demands only an annual fes— tivity among the homes of the people and an acknowledgement of those principles,of, fraternity and charity which all men have called divine. As a celebration of Christian origin and genial spirit one would suppose that all forms of Christian belief could unite in observing it, butthis does not appear to be the case. Religious opinions are the most inflexible of all, and not even Christians can win a concession from those who, from some incomprehensible reason, object to the occasion. Happily the.objection is only in matter of form and ceremony—the spirit penetrates whether recognized or not, and society cannot resist its jovial influence. Civilization advances and so must Christmas. We cannot, if we would, go back to the brave old days of yore, when the people of ‘Merrie England” greeted the dry with such feasting and uproar that all business was forgotten for a fortnight. We have not the time, the enthusiasm nor indeed the inclination for a national carnival of this kind. But we have more common sense and good taste, and the absurdity of a riot of appetite in honor of an event confessedly religious and spiritual in character is more apparent now than in the days of Shakespeare or Bluff King Hal. The Christmas of the Middle Ages is gone forever, and with it, let'us hope, the intolerance, ignorance and brutal bigotry of the same time. The central idea, however, remains, and as an annual occasion forthe reunions of families and friends, for gifts and smiles and pleasant things, and for brightening the everlasting hope of human progress, Christmas will be always welcome, shedding sweet influences as it passes, > vPPyvPeryeye yD ® CONDENSATION OF POPULATION SKYSCRAPER to be built in Chicago is to have a ‘regular street in each of its fourteen stories.

Getchell recently had his residence, on Broed street, nicely painted. The front door was given a very attractive appearance, and commanded the attention of many passersby. Last night some person or persons bespattered the handsome door and the front fence with fiok, From all indications the liquid was thrown from a. fountain pen, or something of that kind, and the way it was scattered on the door and front of the house showed a full intent of maliciousness, Mr. Getchell naturally feele a keen sense of indignation at the despicable act,and would soon ewear toa warrant of arrest if he had sufficient information at hand. ——__—+ 290 For that thirst trya cool, sharp gla‘s of beer at Britland’s.

Down at the Piper farm in Pleasant Valley coyotes, wild cats and other prowling varmints have played havoc with the flocks, decimating their ranks to such an extent as to cause @ serious financial loss to the owners. Other localities were not ?. spared, large numbers of the birds going to appease the the appetites of these carnivorous beasts of prey. Champion Payday. Charles Nonneman, manager of the Champion mines, arrived here tbis -}morning from San Francisco and today the employes of the company were made happy by receiving their monthly wages. This money will invariably be used to gladden. the hearts of loved ones during the Christmas days. Fight Wilt Be Bitter. Those who will persist in closing their ears against the continual recommendation of Dr. King’s New Diecovery. for Consumption, will have a long and bitter fight with their troubles if not ended earlier by fatal termina. tion.

George W. Starr and Dr. John T. The Pig Came Back We have often heard of the ie a of the cat as told in prose and poetry, but it seems to have fallen to this pencil wielder’s lot to tell about a pig of tender months that left and soon returned to the scene of his incarceration. ‘The unfortunate pig, for such he was, a8 our story will unfold, managed to escape from his little stye back of Colley Brothers’ butcher shop early cape from “‘the condemned cell,” as the keen edge of the batcher’s knife was toend the pig’s existence before the dawn of. Christmas Day. Whether the four-footed prisoner was aware of his impending fate or not. we cannot say. At any rate after taking a cursory view of the asphalt streets the pig scented freedom from af-r and harriedly set out-for Sugar Loaf. Upon reaching Alexander street a number of boys started after the little animal, and now we come to the hero of: our etory, Ben Daniels, who was driving a cig belonging to Colley Brothers, came along. Now Ben is quite a sprinter himself, having made some good records in that line when he was a member of the Piety Hill baseball clab. To be brief, Ben joined the chase and ;s0on possessed the pig, and learnibg that it was astray the ex-baseballist retarned to the butcher shop with his prize. The wandering pig was carried back to the pen, when to the astonishment of Ben and others jit wae diecovered that the little enclosure was empty, save for a few tur‘. keys. Toadd to the surprise of the sitaation, it was soon learned that the runaway pig was none other than the original occupant of the ‘condemned cell,” and who is now doubly® doomed Jones of Grass Valley were the center} to die. of much Interest today on account of their magnificent entrance into the city’ with their borseless carriages.

Slungshots are again becoming numerous around this city and are being used by boys hereabouts with a reckless disregard of resultant consequences. One of these dangerous playthings in the hand of a careless youth the other day came near proving disastrous to a passing gentleman, the missile from the deadly invention barely missing his head. Boys should havea care about packing these “‘bean-shooterss” as some are wont to term them, for they are liable at any moment to place them in a position where grief and sorrow will. be their portion for disobeying the warnings of their superiors, Revolution immicent.
