ERNEST IN THE FOREST.
Chapter ii.
As he rode along the road he saw an Indian
drop down by the road-side.
Ernest made his horse wheel and then down
came his heels into its flanks.
It did not take one minute to do this, and for
his horse to be off like a flash. At this the In
dian sprang up and whistled. Out ran a horse
on which the Indian jumped, and they
thundered after him.
Tie little cabin was quiet when the thunder of
hoofs was heard. Ernest's mother went to the
window and saw her son with an Indian in pur
suit. She tottered back to her bed and crawled
under it.
By that time the sound of hoofs had died
away in the distance.
The old lady crawled out from under the bed
and lay on it, then she began to think what
would she do it her only son got killed.
She would die, she would starve to death, and
then the man who came to see her every year
M ould find her dead on the bed.
He would bury her. Ohi What a dreadful
fate.

A judge was swearing a little boy as a wit
ness, he said, "My boy, do you understand the
nature of an oath?" (Now the judge was a
great golfer) The boy said, "Sure, yer honor,
don't I caddy for yer."
Why doe a sailor know there is a man in the
moon? Because he has been to (sea) see.
MR. JOIIISOX lunaus HOST.
Entertains at One of the Jolliest of
Seasons 71 any Sinners.
One of the jolliest of the season's many
dinners was a Christmas spread given at
The nn, Saturday, for a party of close
friends by Mr. Wilbur C. Johnson of
New York, the group including: Mr.
and Mrs. T. Ashley 'Sparks, Mr. and
Mrs. Herbert L. Jillson, Dr. Myron W.
Marr, Miss Lucy K. Priest, Mr. James
Hall and Mr. C. M. Brett.
The favors were clever mechanical
tovs, each with a verse containing a sly
poke at some personal peculiarity; an
automobile for the host, a colored caddy
for Mr. Sparks, a duck for Mrs. Sparks,
a running dog for Mr. Jillson, a colored
doll baby for Mrs. Jillson, a barking dog
for Mr. Brett, a fox for Dr. Marr and
a frog for Mr. Hall, a windmill for Miss
Priest.
Typical of the verses and, perhaps,
the best, was Mr. Sparks, attached to a
miniature negro caddy ;

Dinner for the IToung-er Set.
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Ilayford of Phil
lips Beach, entertained the younger set
pleasantly at dinner Christmas night the
group including Misses Blanche Tapley,
Theodate and Margaret Clough, Ethel
Check, Messrs. Charles Banes, II. S.
Haskell and J. S. Walker. The souve
nirs were indoor firework bombs, each
containing favors, which were set oft at
the close of the spread.
IIIE CRACKERS FOR XTIAg.
In Many Parts of the South Children
are Wot Happy Without Them.
" Firecrackers for Christmas ! " was
the somewhat unusual legend which
greeted the eye in the advertising col
umns of local papers recently, attract
ing attention to the custom existing
round about and throughout many por
tions of the south, of using these noise
makers during the Holidays.
The practise is largely confined to
children and Christmas eve the time of
their use, the small Chinese make being
the favorite with a special desire to set
them oft in bunches.
Originally, no doubt, the idea came by
adaptation of the Chinese custom, for the
Orientals use crackers on festal occa
sions, much as the French use confetti
and serpentine tape.
ANN UAX. XHAS TREES.
They Wring- Joy to the Hearts of
Children of the Village.
The usual Christmas trees for the
white and colored children of employees
of the Village added joy to the Holiday
season, the tree for white children being
given Monday and the colored children
Tuesday.
In accordance with custom the gifts
were mainly useful articles but senti
ment was not overlooked and with each
gift was a toy, a bag of candy and an
orange.
Details of arrangement were in the
hands of the Village Club, a goodly pro
portion of the funds used contributed by
visitors.
