cal church a program was rendered with a Christmas treat for the child-ren. The Danish Lutherans had a Christmas tree with a treat for all on Monday afternoon. The other church-es all celebrated also with appropri-

ate services.

The poultry and corn exhibit held in the Dwight Amusement Hall last week closed last Saturday evening with a fair attendance for the week. The poultry exhibit was not as large this year as in former years but some very fine fowls were exhibited and many scored very high. Some fine specimens of grain were on exhibition, which attracted the attention and was as much, if not more, interesting to the farmers than the poultry. The show proved successful and all plans will soon be in order to complete arrange-ments for a much larger show next year. The prize winners and high scores on the poultry and corn will

be given later.

Dinner Party and Variety Shower.

On Tuesday evening, December 28, 1909, Miss Catheryn Kelagher enter-tained at a dinner party in honor of Miss Nelle Cahill, of Nevada, whose approaching mariage to Mr. Walter Hanley of Verona, has been announced.

After a dainty lunch the guests dis-persed extending to the young couple best wishes for a happy and prosperous

future.

What • Poet Writes. "You never can tell whether poetry

Is loaded or not," said a Columbia pro-fessor descanting upon the muse, "and what a poet writes in the moments of his fine frenzy rolling may be auscep-tible of changes which would make him curse the pen did he but knew whence it pointed. Now, listen to this couplet: "Help us to nave free conscience from the

paw Of hireling wolve• whose gospel la their

maw.

"II sounds like some kind of a fam-ily poem, doesn't It, with paw and maw coming in to make the rhyme? Do you imagine the poet when he wrote the lines ever thought of the parents represented in such a homely way and how the meaning of the whole thing could be changed by changing the meaning of the end words of two lines? Wae he a begin-ner? Oh, so; be was not a beginner. He had written several very classy things. He was John hillton. You re-member he wrote 'Paradise Lost' and two or three other pieces of considera-ble merit, though he never quite got into the 'six best sellers' fiat, and these two lines I have quoted clot* his eon-net to Lord Protector Cromwell, writ-ten In 16152."—New York Herald.

The Southerner and Corn. The southerner feeds himself, his pigs

and bis progeny upon corn. He slept in bls frontiersman's cabin upon a mat-tress made of the husks. Today he contributes some of its pith to the manufacture of gun cotton with which to blow the enemy to Beelzebub and some more of It to the manufacture of cellulose to pack behind the armor of his country's battleships to prevent them from sinking when projectiles pierce their plates. He plants corn as early in the springtime as the season will permit and gets up at dawn to ge into the fields and tickle its spreading roots with a double shovel plow. In midwinter he smokes his corncob pipe before a corncob fire. Looking into a bed of glowing embers through a blue haze of the smoke of incense burned to Mondamin, he returns thanks for the cornmeal in the cupboard and dreams happily of the "ros'n ear" of the golden summer to come. His ap-preciation of the value of Indian corn is high. His affection for it In its vari-ous forms is abiding.—Louisville Cou-rier-Journal.

Argyll and Longfellow. The great Duke of Argyll was visit-

ing his son, then governor general of Canada, and met Longfellow to the American poet's ancient colonial moo-sion at Cambridge, Mass. As they sot together on the veranda the duke per-sistently asked the names of the vari-ous birds he saw and heard singing in the poet's trees as well as of the flow-ers and bushes growing in his exten-sive and beautiful garden. Longfel-low was neither botanist nor ornithol-ogist and did not know.

"I was surprised to find your Lou;;-fellow such an ignorant person," said the duke subsequently to an American acquaintance.

"Indeed! Pray, on what subject?" "Why, he could not tell me the

names of the birds dnd flowers to be heard and seen In his own garden."

"May I ask how many languages you speak?" the American asked.

"Certainly—but one." "Mr. Longfellow," was the answer.

"speaks six and translates freely from almost all the languages of Europe."

Rise of Russia. In the history of Europe down to the

middle of the eighteenth century Rua- sla Is a blank. The foundation of the kingdom was laid by Ruric the Norse- man in the ninth century. In the tenth century the Russians were Christian !zed, adopting the Greek form of Chris- tianity. In the thirteenth century the Russians were completely overrun by the Tartars under Garghiz Khan. From the Tartars Russia was deliv- ered by Ivan, who became czar in the time of Elizabeth. It was Peter the Great (1672-1725) who gave Russia for the first time a place in the states sys- tem of Europe.—New York America.

The Mistletoe. The mistletoe is a Druidical contri-

bution to Christmas. It was held in great veneration by the Druids In an-cient England, and the cutting of It was attended by sacrificing and feast-ing. With weird incantations the priest climbed the tree on which the mistle-toe grew and cut it a way with a knife of purest gold, no base metal being al-lowed to touch it. As the twigs fell they were received below in a mantle of spotless whiteness.

Modest Greatness. Reporter—Setiator, to what do you

chiefly attribute your successful ca- reer, Eminent Statesman—Entirety to heredity, young man. I deserve no credit for it whatever. My father hail ambition, and my mother had taleut, and I happened to inherit both those qualifications.—CAlaege =Wee,.
