BANE VOLUME XL NO 27. RED BANK, N. J., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1888. $1.50 PER YEAR, VISITED BY SANTA CLAUS. LOTS OF PRESENTS FOR MON- MOUTH COUNTY PEOPLE. Appropriate Gifts for Nearly Every boflr-Wiiat Ma'a Deceived by lite Prominent People or the County. Santa Claus made his usual visit to Mouniouth county at midnight on Mon- day. It is surprising how the famous friend of everybody can cover so much territory in one night, but that experi- ence shows that lie always does it; This time be remembered not only the chil- dren, In the distribution of gifts, but.he remembered tbe older folks as well. Man; a man in Monmouth county was surprised when he gar, up vesterdny morning to find that Santa Claus had been in his house iu the night aud had filled hlB stocking for him; From Nave- sink heights to Freehold plain scarcely a house wan missed. Almost everybody got some sort of a present, and everyone was delighted to find that the patrpn saint of their childhood had visited them again. Wden Henry S. Little went to bed on 1 Monday night in liis roomy old-fash- ioned house at Matawan, ou his arrival from Trenton, he debated a loaf; time with himself us to whether he should or should not hangup Ills Blocking. "You cun't tell," lie murmured to himself. " It would be just like old Sunty Glaus -. to come here in the night aud give mti just the thingB I wanted most. Here' goes for-it.jinyway," and with Unit Im bung up his left stocking against the tiled tiro-place and hopped into bed. With the first faint flush of daylight be was out of bed to get his stocking, as eager to sue what it coutuiucd us when he was a child. He found his stocking its mate, which Santa Claua had foun in the night. Both stockings were full to overflowing, and, filled with joy, Mr. Little took his stockings back to bed and began to axamine iu treasures. Tha first thing brought to light was a pair of turkey-red Blippen, daintily embroidered with forget-me-nots. Next came a framed motto, worked in worsted, bearing the legend, "God bless our home." Mr. Little held it at arm's length and looked admiringly at it, and catching a glimpse of the reverse side he turned it around. On this side was a representation of his Matawan residence, with the motto, " What is home with- out a mother-in-law?" Mr. Little's brow was corrugated into a frown in n moment, but the naxt inomeut lie broke into a half smile as he wild : "After all, Santa Claus does know what a body really needs." 9 A bulky package was sticking out of the top of the other stocking, and Mr. Little had to tug right sharply to get it out. When he unwrapped it he found that it was an addition deluxe of the fa- mous Shrewsbury letters, with a steel portrait of the author as a frontispiece. Mr.'Little glanced through the book, looked at the portrait of the author and Bald, " Well, the author can't lay much claims to being pretty, but the letters were mighty Interesting reading when they were first published." Next came a long, cylindrical package carefully tied with red tape. On undo- ing this Mr. Little found that it had in one corner the great seal of New Jersey, and was a commission, made out to Henry Stafford Little, to rrpresant the State of New Jersey in tho United States unate for tho «ix years beginning with the fourth of March, 1889. This wne signed by Robert S. Green, as governor of New Jersey, and countersigned by Henry C. KelBey, as secretary of state. Senator Rnfus Blodgett didn't hang up his stocking, but Santa Cluus had it. It contained a miniature palace car. made of solid gold and labeled. " Central Railroad of New Jersey. President'* Car." On the door of the car appeared the words, " Rufus Blodgett, Lung Branch, N. J," ' Santa Claus had found James 8. Yard's bouse at Freehold without any trim lie, and had got down the chimney in the usual manner without waking any,of the family. Not a single year had Santa Cluus ever missed making a visit there, and Mr. Yard was confident that he would not be forgotten. His not very expensive stockings had been hung alongnide tho chimney, and when Mr. Yard awoke yesterday morning the first things he beheld were his stockings, weighted down with gifts. In conform- ity with the custom which had always been observed in hiB family, he did not undertake to look at the presents until he had completed his toilet, even down to washing his face and coming his hair. Then ho emptied hie stockings, an opor- ation which did not take long. In one of them was a bottle of champngne and a gold-plated corkscrew. In the other was the little book, "The RocTthnil the Rye," and accompanying it WHS a hand- . goniely bound and beautifully eugroBsod set of resolutions from the liquor deal- ers' league, thanking him for the excel- lent work he had done in the lust cam- paign in behalf of their candidates. Young Joe Yard found his stockings filled to the top with photographs of the sixteen prettiest girls in the county—one from each township. Each photograph was accompanied by a perfumed three- cornered note asking his hand in mar- riage, the girls naively explaining that they were only taking advantage of their leap-year privileges. The linnil- eomest newspaper man in the mute was nonplussed hy the wealth of matrimonial offers, and laid the matter biforo his father for advice. " Why, Joe," cnid the old gentleman, " you'll never make an editor-if you can- not solve such nn entry matter as tluit. Write to each girl declining the honor of being her husband on tho plea of a pre- vious engagement." 1)he advice will bu followed. Prnne.cutor Ohnrlon Hnight got np about eleven-o'clock, his usual, ljour. He found his stocking full of legal papers, which on examination turned out to be forfeited recognizances. Accompanying tho papers was a letter from Santa Clans, telling Mr, Haight tp collect the recog- nizances, and to draw on him for $500 as he got eiinh OIIH collected. Gen, Clinton H. Flsk found in one of his stocking a hottlo of Red Banl: ur tesian well wutor, and in tho other a piece of clear Shrewsbury river ieoj Mr, Flak was In raptures over his gifts. Ho showed them to hit nutneroun visitors yesterday, and declared tliaUt-waa posi tlvo proof that Santa Cluus wns a cold' water roan. Ho added that when Santa Claus booumo n prohibitionist tho tri- umph of cold-water principles could not bo far off, ,. __y v . James A. Bradley hnil bard work to ;«t out of'his Blocking a big book en- titled "The History of Anbury Park," with five hundred illustrations, that Santa Clous had put thero. It was beautifully bounil in tree calf, and wns in two parts, tho flint part containing the history of Anbury Park In proen, and Port II, boliiR tho Bame htatory in verso, Mr. Drndloy read the entire bonk through before breakfast, and whilo setting his morning meal lie told his wlfo that be thought 8»nta Glaus must have been tii guilty of base plaigiarism, for he felt certain that be had read somethinglike, it before. He didn't thltik/judgingpfrbm the verses, that Santa CJaus was much of a poet, and he said that anyone who started in to write poetry, and then made haystack rhyme with Atlantic ocean, ought to hire "out the job. But there, waa nothing to kick about so far as the illustrations went. They included almost every phase of Asbury Park's de- velopment. The book also contained Two two-page illustrationsi which wets wonderful gems of art. One of them was "The Board Walk in Winter," and the other waa " The Cock-Fight at Kuss Hulick's." . " The great and good George Washing- ton Patterson, of Asbury Park and Ocean Grove, bounded out of bud as gay an a lark yesterday morning. The^suu was shining into his room, for Georgerisn't an early riser. Hastily drawing on some of his clothes ho opened the win-, dow and drew in deep draughts of the salt air of the ocean. " Ah 1" said he, "this Is glorious ! To bo eure it brings a reminder of the saline stream whither I have wended my way on various occasions too numerous to mention ; but for all that it IB glorious. We folks here can never be sufficiently thankful that Mr. Bradley, when he in- vented Aebury Park, did not take out a patent right on thesenair. On tliisday, emblematic of all that iBgood and true and noble and forgiving, my mind is so flooded with hallowed memoriea and fraternal feelings, and things like that, that I can almost forgive-even Major Yard for the bad tilings he lias said about me." Then he thought of his stockings and scampered off to get them like a light- hearted youngster. " Santa Claus has been here," he ex- claimed with delight, as he took his stocking down from the chimney where it was hanging. It was empty except for a heavy lump down at the toe. On taking it out and unwrapping it from the tissue paper, it was found to be a solid ivory paper - weight, elegantly carved. On the top was a representa- tion of a cherry tree, with a hatchet ly- ing at the foot of the tree. On one of the sides was carved a vine of the popu- lar grape, tho " Momuoulh Senator Seed- ling." The vine bore a ningle hunch of large, luxcioun-looking grapes, which was just out of the reach of a man who was standing on tip-toe, trying to get it. Under it were tbe two dates, 1878 and 1881. On the other side was the same carving, except that the rnan, instead of trying to reach tbe bunch of grapea, was hurrying towards it with a step-lad- der. Under this was carved the date, 18!K). In each case the man's face bore a wonderful likeness to George Washing- ton Patterson. NeUon E. Buchanon found that Santa Claus woe up to his old tricks, and had hid hiB stocking. It didn't lake Mr. Buchanon long to find it, because there was a strange luminosity about it that betrayed iln hiding-place under tho fur end uf the dresser. It was quickly yanbL'd from itH retreat and .Air. Bu- cliauou drew from the stocking u queer- looking little dark lantern, made of ebony, tlir light of which was furnished by n dazzling white diamond. Architect Cook Howland, of Asbury Park, got an order from Santa Claua tp draw up the plans and specifications for the new county buildings for the county of Shrewsbury, to be erected when the legislature divides the county tins'win ter. Judge Alfred Walling goto miniature nmrble pedestal in his stocking. On the pedestal was the figure of a man dressed in tho robe of the chief justice of the United States supreme court, and hold- ing at arm's length u pair of golden nuales, even balanced, symbolic of jus- tice. The figure was not blinded folded, and tho featured of The man were the features of the present law judge of Monmouth county. Uncle Itufus Ogdeii got a little auto- matic toy post-office from Snntu Claus. It was singularly like tho post-office at Keynort used to be under the administra- tion of Mr. Ogden. At the delivery window was a little tnau, just about Mr. Ogden's size and appearance, busily en- gaged in stamping letters. The post- mark showed the wonla " Keyport, N. J., March 4, 1888," and lying on the sorting table was a large, legal looking envelope, postmarked at Washington, on tlie same ante, and addressed to '• Rufus Ogden, Postmaster, Keyport, N. J." Thou. L. Scobrook, Itaritnn township's freeholder, got a Rogers piece of statu- ary. The Atntunry consisted of im enor- mous bull, labeled " Official Crooked- ness," aud banging from the bull's nose was a small but determined liulldog. On the hose were these lines from Holmea'a " Urauia : " ' ftllek to your aim: The mongrel's hold will slip, But nnlr iTCVfbnrs luowj the buildup' ^I^ Hll b l k me Jaw ib>i never Hmull us be looks, me law ibat n e w yields Drugs iluwu the twIluwloR luonarcll of tho fluids. The only thing that County Clerk Patterson found in his stocking wus a bill, which wflB way down lit Ihotoe. The following is an exact copy : : CHKISTMAB, 188S. i : JISIKS II. PATTKRSO.I, County Cirri, : : To MoNMOUTll COIINTV, Dr. : : To llrciiK) fees duo tluicuimlj... $8,000.00 : I'leaec tlcmlt. ; Phil Daly's stocking wns wriggling at a great rate when he woke up. It IIUHK agninst the chimney, and it turned mid twisted about until it threatened to fall. Mr. Daly sprung out of Iwd, took down the stocking and run liiu huiid down into it to nee wlint sort of n present it WUB tlmt Sanln Claus bud giwn liini. The next nionient hu pulled out bin hand witli'lhc blootVjlripping from his lingers. Then he' to(>k bold of tin) stocking by thu toe, nnd shook out tho conlenls. A fierce {ooklng little bndgcr, just from, the wilds of Now York, fell to tlio floor. "Qroat heavens I" cried Mr, Daly; ''am I, the greatest sporting man In America, to bu always pestered with badgers? Don't Snnta Claus know that I'vegot more. Now York badgers nn hand now than I know what to do with ?" He took nil a ohnirnnd started for the little animal, but it sprang out of oh open window and escaped. When John Henry lltiycr opened his eyes yesterday morning his wife was Btanding at bin bedside with a snmll oil painting, which she lind just taken out of his qtooklng, The painting repre- sented an autumn thunder storm, nnd tho flnshes of forked lightning wero ex- tremely vivid. In the background was an exact picture of the house that Mr. Hover lives In nt llolindid. The longest fork of tho li|jlitninK touched thu house, anil its ragged outlinos formed tho let- ters making up tlio words, •" EJhorifl'a Nomination, 181)0." David A, Bell, of Mutawnn, had but one of hlsstooklnBH tilled. In- this was a cluli, and branded Into thu bundle wore tlio words, "A Huru euro for hit head." Whou Jehu P. Cooper,of lllddlelown, got up, ho did not think nbout It being Christmas until ho began to pull on his socki.. Then ho folt Bomothlng heavy in ths foot of his left nook. " Somobody's been trying to fool me again with-coal," lie muttered, as lie pulled out the pack- age.) Wlien he took off tlie wrapper, he found that Santa CIMIB had given him just the cunoingest, bluest-eyed, woolley little .sheep that Mr. Cooper had ever seen, • Tied around.its neck with a thin cord was a label on which were the .words: - • THE PET IAMB OK HIDDLETOWN. j James Steen fouud ill Iris stocking Ilia bill.for expenses and services In the Mingo.Jack matter. It was in an on- velop which -Santa Claua bad £ot from Prosecutor Huight's olllce, for it had his official stamp in the corner, and it was marked with the symbolic letters, "N. G." The handwriting was so much like Prosecutor Haight's that Mr. Steen would have felt certain he had written it, if the evidence had not been so plain that it was the work of SantaCIHUS, Jacob Shutts found in his stocking a holiday edition of Whittler'e famous poeiu,** It might have been." Win. Pintard, of Red Bank, found a very pleasant and appropriate little gift in his Btocking. Thii was a chaplet of laurel, such as used to be given to poets in mythological days. It was embel- lished with precious stones, the latter forming the words, " Shrewsbury's poet laureate." Mr. Pintard has not as yet worn the chaplet on the street, but he expects to appear with it at tbe next official clambake of the board of free- holders, and lie is already bald at work on the, vern<>« ho will loud on that oc- casion. Senator Henry M. Nevius got but one gift from Santa Claus, but that was as good as a dozen. It was the governor's chair of the state of New Jersey; 1 aud wns niade of solid gold and ivory. Saint George Kenipaon, of the Red Bank Standard, found in his stocking a hundred gold eagles, making a thousand dollars in all. A note came with it, say- ing that it was in payment of hie bill against County Clerk Patterson. Mr. Kenipaon went into ecstacies over the money. " Of course, I never expected to get one tenth of the face of the bill," he Baid; " but if 1 had known how easy it WUB going to be to collect it, I'd have made the bill out for two thousand dol- lars. It's too bad that I didn't, aeeing how things have turned out." J. A. Throckmorton got a bottle of patent hair renewer In Ins stocking. Aeber S. Parker found in his stocking the few shares of First National Bank stock that he doesa't own already. Marshal James Norman gut aa official badge. It iv.nn a golden shield, and in the center was a picture of Mr. Norman. In raised letters around the picture were tho words " Mayor of Texas." Dominie Manning found in hia stock- ing the plans nnd specifications 6f the new Baptist church. The REUISTER young man got a vote of thanks from the board of freeholders for the interest he had taken in their proceedings for the past year. Ex-Postmaster Win. Applegate got a Beries of straight tips on next year's races at Monmouth Park. R. Taylor Smock found in his stocking a beautiful tiu badge, neatly engraveo with the words, " Bears and Beaux Shooting Club, presented to the poorest shot in the county."

Cul- lington, George Coley and Samuel Sab- -Btlrwandered up latu jlie"ollliilal~roolF] TIJ ery on Mechanic street at eight o'clock last Thursday night. Clerk Wm. M. Sickles sat at the table arranging his books and {japers. The glare from the electrio light struck the marbleized top of 1MB head and threw weird, fantastic shadows upon the ceiling and walls of the rookery. While waiting for the ap- pearance of Chief Commissioner John Button the other members of the board sat around the stove and meditated upon the honor and glory attached to the of- fice of commissioner. The etove is a study in iron and iron- rust and burns wood only. It is a relic of an age when the world was young ; of an age when applejack, bribery at elections, Democratic majorities and other grievous evils were unknown. Janitor Charles E. Applegate engineers the stove. He is something of an an- tiquarian himself, and he says that eo far as hiB study and research go be thinks that it is the original stove which Noah put in the ark to warm the atmos- phere to a temperature conducive to the lealth and- happiness of the tropic ani- mals that shipped with him on the fa- mous sea voyage that has since passed into history. " I do not know how it came into pos- 'sessiOn "of "the" town," said Mr. Apple- gate, turning to THE REGISTER young man, and recognizing in him the best' listener and most intelligent man present; "it may be that it blew in; or it may be what the geologists call an alluvial drift; or its presence here may bs explained on the scientific theory of subsidence ; or it may have been bought years ago when the town was first incorporated and Judge Hundrickaon waa chief com- missioner. At any rate it is the town's property as it stands. While it isn't worth a darn as a stove it is extremely valuable as a piece of official bric-a-brac, and when the commissioners move into their new steam-heated, marble town hall on the green, they should have the stove wrapped in tissue paper and care- fully filed away among the archives of the town." " ' At this moment Chief Commissioner Sutton appeared and called the board to order. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved, and the follow- ing bills were passed and ordered paid : Jehu II. Cook, printing and stationery {10.10 H. J.

Three weeks or so ago a big batch of letter circulars came to Bed Bank, ad- dressed to many of tlie business men and professional mm of tlir place, from the American portrait company, of 1,300 Broadway, New \ork. The portrait company offered to make a life-sized crayon portrait of anyone who would send them a cabinet photograph'.' This was all to be done free, and the com- pany stated that if the picture was not perfectly satisfactory, they would re- touch it and make any improvements that might be deiired, Tlie only pay- ment which the company asked WOB that tlie peraon nho got the crayon like- ness should exhibit it to his friends and tell them where the work was done, and in this way to aasiBt tlie firm to get business. The circular suggested that such a crayon portrait, worth at leant $35, should lie handsomely and ap- propriately fruined, thus adding lo its beauty. Red Bankers as a rule know that when they are offered something for nothing they have got to pay for it somehow, and comparatively few of their paid any attention to the letter, Some of them, however, thought it too good an opportunity to be lost, and for- warded their portraits. Last week a second circular was received by those who had sent tlieir photographs to be enlarged. This circular set forth thai the picture was about completed, and in order to insure its safe arrival asked whether they would not permit the company to frame it for them. The company enclosed a price list of frames, ranging from $7.50 up, and said they would send the crayon portrait C. O. D., if desired, or they would give a discount of six per cent, for cosh in advance. Some of the men forwarded, t))o money, for the framo selected ; some ordered the company to send the frame and pic- ture C. 0. D., and others nnld no atten- tion at all to the latter circular. It IB suspected that the price charged for the frame is more than sufficient to pay for thu frame and picture both. At Long Branch about thirty orders for pictures were given, and most of the people ordering nave sent the mosey to the firm. Cash Prizes to Marksmen. Last Thursday tho last match of the Midway gun club for the series of 1888 was hold; ThU' annual primi are not distributed until tho close of each y,car'a series.

ThiB would make the cost from Front street to Monmouth street $7,500, and to the ScufBetown road $15,000. Water Commissioner Wm. T.

Town Commissioner George Coley is building a yacht which will measure 23 feet between runners aud carry 000 square feet of sail. Gus Haviland is building for Henry Wood a boat, eighteen feet spread. This yacht will curry 476 square feet of canvas. It is' said that Mr. Wood is building this boat simply for the purpose of "doing up" Charley Irwin'a Oeorgie, a fast lit- tle yucht of the third clans. Commo- dore Samuel W. Morford and Crawf. Hrndricksou are also building them- selves yachts. All the yachts in course of construction will be eecond- class boats with the exception of Mr. Coley's, which will be entered in the first-class. A number of the yachts in the club are being remodeled—that is, their rig- ging is being changed and their runners altered to diffenmt positioner"By doing this it in expected that a much greater speed will be attained. Capt. Coley will thoroughly overhaul his old yacht, 'I hu Idler, and put her in excellent con- dition. Robert Chandler, of Fair Haven, is remodeling the Get There and Ty- phoon, Fair Haven's representative yaclitt). Capt, Charles Allen is making a new suit of sails for his yacht Now Then, and Charles Curtis is adding im- provements to the Glacier. Messrs. Fierrepont and Sangcr'a Dreadnought holds the first class pen- nant from last year, James B. Weaver's Kitty the second class pennant, and Charles Irwiu's Georgie the third class pennant and the challenge pennant of the South river club. James B. Weaver shipped the Scud to Poughkeepsie about two weeks ago, and tbe yacht is in charge of Richard Knight. A week later lie sent a challenge to the Hudson river ice yacht club to Bail for the challenge pennant of America. The first race for the pennant will be sailed between the Carthage and Hudson river clubs. A yacht from the Burlington, N. J., ice yacht club iu expected here in a few days. The .boat will sail against the yachts of the Shrewsbury club. She is the property of Thomas Daniels, the secretary of the Burlington club. Last season the Red Bank boyB en- joyed a much longer period of ice-yacht mg than any other club in the country, There was continual Bailing from Janu- ary 30th until February 20th. Up the Hudson the river was frozen for a longer time than this, but owing to heavy snow- falls the ice tliere was not in condition for ice-boating. PINED $86 APIECE. John Froit and Elmira Frost Pay the Prnallv of Breaking tbe Law. John Frost, and his sister-in-law,, El- mira Frost, ham been sentened to pay a fine of $25 each, and costs, for living together in adultery. They were in- dicted at the October terra of court, and pleaded guilty, but sentence was not im- posed until recently. In addition to the indictment for adultery, Elmira Frost was also Indicted and pleaded guilty to assault and battery on John Frost's wife.

MOUTH COUNTY PEOPLE.Appropriate Gifts for Nearly E v e r y

boflr-Wiiat Ma'a Deceived by liteProminent People or the County.Santa Claus made his usual visit to

Mouniouth county at midnight on Mon-day. It is surprising how the famousfriend of everybody can cover so muchterritory in one night, but that experi-ence shows that lie always does it; Thistime be remembered not only the chil-dren, In the distribution of gifts, but.heremembered tbe older folks as well.Man; a man in Monmouth county wassurprised when he gar, up vesterdnymorning to find that Santa Claus hadbeen in his house iu the night aud hadfilled hlB stocking for him; From Nave-sink heights to Freehold plain scarcely ahouse wan missed. Almost everybodygot some sort of a present, and everyonewas delighted to find that the patrpnsaint of their childhood had visited themagain.

Wden Henry S. Little went to bed on1

Monday night in liis roomy old-fash-ioned house at Matawan, ou his arrivalfrom Trenton, he debated a loaf; timewith himself us to whether he should orshould not hangup Ills Blocking. "Youcun't tell," lie murmured to himself." It would be just like old Sunty Glaus

-. to come here in the night aud give mtijust the thingB I wanted most. Here'goes for-it.jinyway," and with Unit Imbung up his left stocking against thetiled tiro-place and hopped into bed.

With the first faint flush of daylightbe was out of bed to get his stocking, aseager to sue what it coutuiucd us whenhe was a child. He found his stocking

its mate, which Santa Claua had founin the night. Both stockings were fullto overflowing, and, filled with joy, Mr.Little took his stockings back to bed andbegan to axamine i u treasures. Thafirst thing brought to light was a pair ofturkey-red Blippen, daintily embroideredwith forget-me-nots. Next came aframed motto, worked in worsted,bearing the legend, "God bless ourhome." Mr. Little held it at arm'slength and looked admiringly at it, andcatching a glimpse of the reverse side heturned it around. On this side was arepresentation of his Matawan residence,with the motto, " What is home with-out a mother-in-law?" Mr. Little'sbrow was corrugated into a frown in nmoment, but the naxt inomeut lie brokeinto a half smile as he wild :

"After all, Santa Claus does knowwhat a body really needs."

9 A bulky package was sticking out ofthe top of the other stocking, and Mr.Little had to tug right sharply to get itout. When he unwrapped it he foundthat it was an addition deluxe of the fa-mous Shrewsbury letters, with a steelportrait of the author as a frontispiece.Mr.'Little glanced through the book,looked at the portrait of the author andBald, " Well, the author can't lay muchclaims to being pretty, but the letterswere mighty Interesting reading whenthey were first published."

Next came a long, cylindrical packagecarefully tied with red tape. On undo-ing this Mr. Little found that it had inone corner the great seal of New Jersey,and was a commission, made out toHenry Stafford Little, to rrpresant theState of New Jersey in tho United Statesunate for tho «ix years beginning withthe fourth of March, 1889. This wnesigned by Robert S. Green, as governorof New Jersey, and countersigned byHenry C. KelBey, as secretary of state.

Senator Rnfus Blodgett didn't hangup his stocking, but Santa Cluus had it.It contained a miniature palace car.made of solid gold and labeled. " CentralRailroad of New Jersey. President'*Car." On the door of the car appearedthe words, " Rufus Blodgett, LungBranch, N. J,"' Santa Claus had found James 8. Yard's

bouse at Freehold without any trim lie,and had got down the chimney in theusual manner without waking any,ofthe family. Not a single year had SantaCluus ever missed making a visit there,and Mr. Yard was confident that hewould not be forgotten. His not veryexpensive stockings had been hungalongnide tho chimney, and when Mr.Yard awoke yesterday morning the firstthings he beheld were his stockings,weighted down with gifts. In conform-ity with the custom which had alwaysbeen observed in hiB family, he did notundertake to look at the presents untilhe had completed his toilet, even downto washing his face and coming his hair.Then ho emptied hie stockings, an opor-ation which did not take long. In oneof them was a bottle of champngne anda gold-plated corkscrew. In the otherwas the little book, "The RocTthnil theRye," and accompanying it WHS a hand-

. goniely bound and beautifully eugroBsodset of resolutions from the liquor deal-ers' league, thanking him for the excel-lent work he had done in the lust cam-paign in behalf of their candidates.

Young Joe Yard found his stockingsfilled to the top with photographs of thesixteen prettiest girls in the county—onefrom each township. Each photographwas accompanied by a perfumed three-cornered note asking his hand in mar-riage, the girls naively explaining thatthey were only taking advantage oftheir leap-year privileges. The linnil-eomest newspaper man in the mute wasnonplussed hy the wealth of matrimonialoffers, and laid the matter biforo hisfather for advice.

" Why, Joe," cnid the old gentleman," you'll never make an editor-if you can-not solve such nn entry matter as tluit.Write to each girl declining the honor ofbeing her husband on tho plea of a pre-vious engagement."

1)he advice will bu followed.Prnne.cutor Ohnrlon Hnight got np

about eleven-o'clock, his usual, ljour.He found his stocking full of legal papers,which on examination turned out to beforfeited recognizances. Accompanyingtho papers was a letter from Santa Clans,telling Mr, Haight tp collect the recog-nizances, and to draw on him for $500 ashe got eiinh OIIH collected.

Gen, Clinton H. Flsk found in one ofhis stocking a hottlo of Red Banl: urtesian well wutor, and in tho other apiece of clear Shrewsbury river ieoj Mr,Flak was In raptures over his gifts. Hoshowed them to hit nutneroun visitorsyesterday, and declared tliaUt-waa positlvo proof that Santa Cluus wns a cold'water roan. Ho added that when SantaClaus booumo n prohibitionist tho tri-umph of cold-water principles could notbo far off, ,. __yv .

James A. Bradley hnil bard work to;«t out of'his Blocking a big book en-

titled "The History of Anbury Park,"with five hundred illustrations, thatSanta Clous had put thero. It wasbeautifully bounil in tree calf, and wnsin two parts, tho flint part containingthe history of Anbury Park In proen, andPort II, boliiR tho Bame htatory in verso,Mr. Drndloy read the entire bonk throughbefore breakfast, and whilo setting hismorning meal lie told his wlfo that bethought 8»nta Glaus must have been

tii

guilty of base plaigiarism, for he feltcertain that be had read somethinglike,i t before. He didn't thltik/judgingpfrbmthe verses, that Santa CJaus was muchof a poet, and he said that anyone whostarted in to write poetry, and thenmade haystack rhyme with Atlanticocean, ought to hire "out the job. Butthere, waa nothing to kick about so faras the illustrations went. They includedalmost every phase of Asbury Park's de-velopment. The book also containedTwo two-page illustrationsi which wetswonderful gems of art. One of themwas "The Board Walk in Winter," andthe other waa " The Cock-Fight at KussHulick's." • . "

The great and good George Washing-ton Patterson, of Asbury Park and OceanGrove, bounded out of bud as gay an alark yesterday morning. The^suu wasshining into his room, for Georgerisn'tan early riser. Hastily drawing onsome of his clothes ho opened the win-,dow and drew in deep draughts of thesalt air of the ocean.

" Ah 1" said he, "this Is glorious ! Tobo eure it brings a reminder of the salinestream whither I have wended my wayon various occasions too numerous tomention ; but for all that it IB glorious.We folks here can never be sufficientlythankful that Mr. Bradley, when he in-vented Aebury Park, did not take out apatent right on thesenair. On tliisday,emblematic of all that iBgood and trueand noble and forgiving, my mind is soflooded with hallowed memoriea andfraternal feelings, and things like that,that I can almost forgive-even MajorYard for the bad tilings he lias saidabout me."

Then he thought of his stockings andscampered off to get them like a light-hearted youngster.

" Santa Claus has been here," he ex-claimed with delight, as he took hisstocking down from the chimney whereit was hanging. It was empty exceptfor a heavy lump down at the toe. Ontaking it out and unwrapping it fromthe tissue paper, it was found to be asolid ivory paper - weight, elegantlycarved. On the top was a representa-tion of a cherry tree, with a hatchet ly-ing at the foot of the tree. On one ofthe sides was carved a vine of the popu-lar grape, tho " Momuoulh Senator Seed-ling." The vine bore a ningle hunch oflarge, luxcioun-looking grapes, whichwas just out of the reach of a man whowas standing on tip-toe, trying to get it.Under it were tbe two dates, 1878 and1881. On the other side was the samecarving, except that the rnan, instead oftrying to reach tbe bunch of grapea,was hurrying towards it with a step-lad-der. Under this was carved the date,18!K). In each case the man's face borea wonderful likeness to George Washing-ton Patterson.

NeUon E. Buchanon found that SantaClaus woe up to his old tricks, and hadhid hiB stocking. It didn't lake Mr.Buchanon long to find it, because therewas a strange luminosity about it thatbetrayed iln hiding-place under tho furend uf the dresser. It was quicklyyanbL'd from itH retreat and .Air. Bu-cliauou drew from the stocking u queer-looking little dark lantern, made ofebony, tlir light of which was furnishedby n dazzling white diamond.

Architect Cook Howland, of AsburyPark, got an order from Santa Claua tpdraw up the plans and specifications forthe new county buildings for the countyof Shrewsbury, to be erected when thelegislature divides the county tins'winter.

Judge Alfred Walling goto miniaturenmrble pedestal in his stocking. On thepedestal was the figure of a man dressedin tho robe of the chief justice of theUnited States supreme court, and hold-ing at arm's length u pair of goldennuales, even balanced, symbolic of jus-tice. The figure was not blinded folded,and tho featured of The man were thefeatures of the present law judge ofMonmouth county.

Uncle Itufus Ogdeii got a little auto-matic toy post-office from Snntu Claus.It was singularly like tho post-office atKeynort used to be under the administra-tion of Mr. Ogden. At the deliverywindow was a little tnau, just about Mr.Ogden's size and appearance, busily en-gaged in stamping letters. The post-mark showed the wonla " Keyport, N. J.,March 4, 1888," and lying on the sortingtable was a large, legal looking envelope,postmarked at Washington, on tlie sameante, and addressed to '• Rufus Ogden,Postmaster, Keyport, N. J."

Thou. L. Scobrook, Itaritnn township'sfreeholder, got a Rogers piece of statu-ary. The Atntunry consisted of im enor-mous bull, labeled " Official Crooked-ness," aud banging from the bull's nosewas a small but determined liulldog.On the hose were these lines fromHolmea'a " Urauia : " 'ftllek to your aim: The mongrel's hold will slip,But nnlr iTCVfbnrs luowj the buildup' ^ I ^H l l b l k me Jaw ib>i neverHmull us be looks, me law ibat n e w yieldsDrugs iluwu the twIluwloR luonarcll of tho fluids.

M.Sickles sat at the table arranging hisbooks and {japers. The glare from theelectrio light struck the marbleized topof 1MB head and threw weird, fantasticshadows upon the ceiling and walls ofthe rookery. While waiting for the ap-pearance of Chief Commissioner JohnButton the other members of the boardsat around the stove and meditated uponthe honor and glory attached to the of-fice of commissioner.

The etove is a study in iron and iron-rust and burns wood only. It is a relicof an age when the world was young ;of an age when applejack, bribery atelections, Democratic majorities andother grievous evils were unknown.Janitor Charles E. Applegate engineersthe stove. He is something of an an-tiquarian himself, and he says that eofar as hiB study and research go bethinks that it is the original stove whichNoah put in the ark to warm the atmos-phere to a temperature conducive to thelealth and- happiness of the tropic ani-

mals that shipped with him on the fa-mous sea voyage that has since passedinto history.

" I do not know how it came into pos-'sessiOn "of "the" town," said Mr. Apple-gate, turning to THE REGISTER youngman, and recognizing in him the best'listener and most intelligent man present;"it may be that it blew in; or it may bewhat the geologists call an alluvial drift;or its presence here may bs explainedon the scientific theory of subsidence ;or it may have been bought years agowhen the town was first incorporatedand Judge Hundrickaon waa chief com-missioner. At any rate it is the town'sproperty as it stands. While it isn'tworth a darn as a stove it is extremelyvaluable as a piece of official bric-a-brac,and when the commissioners move intotheir new steam-heated, marble townhall on the green, they should have thestove wrapped in tissue paper and care-fully filed away among the archives ofthe town."

AN ORDER FOR A PICTURE.H o w Some People Expected to Gel

Sonieiblnc for Nothing and Didn't.Three weeks or so ago a big batch of

letter circulars came to Bed Bank, ad-dressed to many of tlie business menand professional mm of tlir place, fromthe American portrait company, of 1,300Broadway, New \ork . The portraitcompany offered to make a life-sizedcrayon portrait of anyone who wouldsend them a cabinet photograph'.' Thiswas all to be done free, and the com-pany stated that if the picture was notperfectly satisfactory, they would re-touch it and make any improvementsthat might be deiired, Tlie only pay-ment which the company asked WOBthat tlie peraon nho got the crayon like-ness should exhibit it to his friendsand tell them where the work wasdone, and in this way to aasiBt tlie firmto get business. The circular suggestedthat such a crayon portrait, worth atleant $35, should lie handsomely and ap-propriately fruined, thus adding lo itsbeauty.

Red Bankers as a rule know thatwhen they are offered something fornothing they have got to pay for itsomehow, and comparatively few oftheir paid any attention to the letter,Some of them, however, thought it toogood an opportunity to be lost, and for-warded their portraits. Last week asecond circular was received by thosewho had sent tlieir photographs to beenlarged. This circular set forth thaithe picture was about completed, andin order to insure its safe arrival askedwhether they would not permit thecompany to frame it for them. Thecompany enclosed a price list of frames,ranging from $7.50 up, and said theywould send the crayon portrait C. O. D.,if desired, or they would give a discountof six per cent, for cosh in advance.Some of the men forwarded, t))o money,for the framo selected ; some orderedthe company to send the frame and pic-ture C. 0. D., and others nnld no atten-tion at all to the latter circular. It IBsuspected that the price charged for theframe is more than sufficient to pay forthu frame and picture both.

At Long Branch about thirty ordersfor pictures were given, and most ofthe people ordering nave sent the moseyto the firm.

WEDNE8DAT, DECEMBER 26,1888.

Tho Bridge a t Locust Point.Last iprlng there was included in the

annual budget of expenses for Jlon-—mouth-*»UDtyHbe-;Bum dr-twenty-flve

thousand dollarB for building* bridgeacroiM the river at Locust Point. Thissum would build a .Bret-class woodenbridge acroM tile ri»er at that point,and enough private subscriptions werepromised to swell the amount appropri-ated to a sum sufficient to build a hand

^ ^ r i b l k l dM m e i r o n ^ r i geach side of the river were also toconBtructed at private expense.

From the present indications the Lridg*- project will fall through, and it is doubt-

ful if the bridge will be built, The peo-ple who were to givB the money to paythe difference between & wooden andan iron bridge have not come forwardwith the'eaab, and the bulkheaiin ImvuHot been constructed. '-

The bridge*Bhou\d be built, and ifthose who want an iron structure arenot willing to pay the difference in price,then the freeholders should build awooden bridge. A bridge between Lo-cust Point and Oceanic would open upa large section of country. The peoplewho now live on the Middletown side of{he river, near the eite of the proposedbridge, have to roaltea long, circuitousdriva^to get tpJRed Bank, or any othej-shipping or railroad point. Enoughmoney to build a substantial woodenbridge has been raised, and if the moneyfrom private subscriptions is not forth-coming tlie freeholders should put upa wooden bridge next spring and haveit completed, if possible, in time for nextseason's travel. l

This is genuine Democratic dnctrine..is the same doctrine which the Demo-

ats in the legislature upheld last year,hen they, opposed the local option bill

t the dictation of the liquor dealers,hey were not willing that those opposed

them should have nny voice in thenutter. H is the same course which isursued by the Democrats of Indiana,here, by the Democratic gorrymander-ig of the districts, the Democrats electm congressmen and the Republicansly three, although the Republicansive a majority of the votes of the state.. Monmouth connty the Republicans

toll almost one-half of the votes, andet the Democrat saya it is wrong for theietricts to be so shaped that the Repub fcans can elect one of the three asaem-lymen even a [iart of tbe time.

One would suppose that a paper whichifl claims to fairness at all would hesi-ite before giving utterance to such eeii-.input.—The Republicans-polUa-great•al more than one-third of tile votes of_e county, and almost one-half of theotes, and in all fairness they shouldnve at leiist ona-third of the atfflenibly-

. Tho Democrat, the official organif the Democratic party, and the heartyupporter of the liquor dealers', candi-latee, calls i t " a wrong " for the Repub-icans to have one assemblyman. Withliuost one-half of the votes, the Rcpub-icans get one out of the three assHiiibly-len lib'nit half the time, and the Demo-rat nays this representation is too greatin! must bo abolished altogether, It isvident that the liquor dealers will notHow the Democrats to stop at nnyihing,'hich will strengthen their hold. Thelection lust fall was a square iinlit be-weeii tbe liquor dealers and the people,ind I lie people lost. With the assemblyislrictn hud out as they are now itlight be possible for the people to de-?at the liquor dealers lit some futurelection, anil (he liquor dealers, know-g this, will compel the Democrats to

hange the districts HO that they willlave absolute control. The Democratsill do this, and in tliia work they will

ie heartily supported by the editor ofe Democrat, who CRIIB himself a tern-irance man, and who has been made the

hairman of the local option executivemmittee of the county.

# # #

What do the young men think of thischenie? How do they like the idea ofhe legUlativedistricts being sonrrangedhat the liquor dealers will have ubfo-ute control of the county? The liquorlealers put up their money last fall tolect their candidates. Elwood C. Rich-.rdaon boasted that Ihe liquor tlenltTs ofne county hud combined to elect tlieirlen, and the result shows that he knew/hut lio was talking about. Now thathey have won the victory thev are

going to BO gerrymander the legislativedistricts that it will be practically impossible for them to lose the legislature.And in this work Major Yard wishrahem God speed, und sayB that " it wille the duty of the incoming legislature'

:o make these chungea.

The inside history of the recent cam-iaign its coming out more and more.ror instance, it was a shock and « sur-irise to a few people who were not ac-[Uainted nith Saint George Kempson.hot the Red Bank' Standard should:ome out openly and assail the temper-mce laws which were enacted lust win-er; and it was a iturprise to these peoplehat it should especially become such anirdeut supporter of County Clerk Patterion, after the manner in which his officetad been conducted during his first termiad been shown up. The true motivesif tbe support of that imper are gnidully being brought to light. Here Is alipping from the Keyport Enterprise,hich thrclwB a little more light on Ibis

matter:It Id reported that the Ita] Bank Stawltml aw!

Uie cusu. iThis showB pretty conclusively the

lotiveu which actuated Saint GeorgeKeinpflon, the editor of the Staiulard,when he waa Hplitting hie jourualiithroat yelling for Dr. Patterson, and de-:lurin)r that people who lolil the trutlbout him ouKlit to be se'ut to ntate

prison. All the while that he was shout-ing for Dr. Patterson he bad hie mind's:yeonthat little one thousand dollar**hat he hoped to get. But I don't blame

Dr. Patterson for thinking the bill an exesBive one. One thousand dollnm foihe support of the Standard! If the

paper had nny circulation to speak ofif it had any reputation to bank on ; ift had any 'ability: then it might benorth something to n candidate who

running for ofllce. But it ap-pealed only to tlioue voters who weregoing to vote for Dr. Patteram anyway.who would have voted for him no mat-ter what his character wan, HO long as liebore the double tag of the Democracy

nd the liquor dealers. The fact that hewan uliort in his accounts was nothing tche readers of the Standard. The fuel

that he had broken lliu law in order tavor liquor deulers at the expermo ol

the public wan nothing to them •, in fact,they rather liked him better for it. 11is doubtful if the Standard gained it igle vote for Mr. Patterson. What elected him was the cold cash of the liquoidealers, who combined nnd put up tlieimoney to elect the. limn who had favorecthem at the expense of the public; and ilwan their' dollarH, which were [juicilyslipped into thn Imndn of tlio doubtfulvotui-H oil election duy, tbut decided tbelection in hin favor. If County ClorPatterson pays the Slamiard one. twen-tieth of tlu> num demanded, he will bpaying an exceuHivo price, for lie will bpaying for something which was of nvulne to him.

IM/vf judge—I ki&v* ta&«i rfca/JI-oij withoosMcriMe fntertet your KQUVIM ^>me &nd the other texpayens of Mwi-moutb county, dated September 11th,1888. Perhaps you have forgotten it.It U on the back of the third bill for de-tective service presented by one CharlesHalglit, and one Win, Q, Irving. Thatapology as printed In one of the countypapers, is as follows:

"Approred and certified September l ltb, 1688.- "Tbe detective service, wtitcb la so eipeaslve. lamads neoeasarr by tlie ilownesi and neglect 61 ttie

- peacfroOlcent-ftiid - otben-f nv Hie-cuumy* rlio per-mit escapes, and make almost fruitless pursuit n«o-essftry. - - ' JE. W. SDUDDSK, Judge."

It is true that Mr. Hnight had first Baidon the back of the same bill:

rtnowTimBtBinr»5DalljrMtdcouiaJBownothing ol these facts, but I Luvo DO reason to dls-epute their accuracy, bavlogbereto found Mr. IrvlOfrreliable In blB accounts. The charges soem to bereasonable and Just as .compared with other delectrIve services. ,,"01118. HAiour, Prosecutor."But as Mr. Hnighthas boasted ever sincetbe Mingo jack fiasco that he cut Mr.Irving's bill down from over $1,000 tothe figure at which it was ftnnlly jmid,it 'was to be expected that he wouldvouch for Mr: Irving's reliability.

But, Judge, I am a poor, ignorant tax-payer; I don't know much law, and inthat respect, I euppose, I am the peer ofmany of those learned gentlemen whoaddress your honor at court. Now, Iwant to know why "almost fruitlesspursuit" is "necessary," especially atBuch great expense. I want to knowwho are "the peace officers in thecounty" who are guilty of "slownessand neglect." The chief peace officerin the county, as I take it, IB the judgeof the criminal court, whose business itis to Bet the grand jury to rights by in-structions which will enable them to in-dict all crimes and criminal practices inthe county. You surelrdid not meanhim. The next peace officer is, of course;Mr. Haight, trim state's attorney. Ofoourse it is well known that his re'lationewith Philip Daly and others, as set forthin sundry arlicleain-the-New—VorkWorld some time since, Imve been thor-oughly vindicated by the court in amannen'EeBt calculated to inspire publicconfidence in tlie administration of jus-tice in the county. Oil., no. Judge, younever nieant that any imputation ehuuldrest on Mr. Haigrit. Neither could youhave referred to the clerk of the court.We have it from himself ttiat when hedisregarded the In w, it WOB after consulta-tion with yourself. No, it could nothave been County Clerk Patterson. Thesheriff no longer has anything to dowith the selection of the juries, for rea-sons that are not calculated to makecitizens of Monmouth feel very proud.

There are none left except the justicesof the peace. Those niUBt be the wickedfellows, "slow and negligent." Theymake in their offlce only from $50 to$250 per year, and are perpetuallyharassed mid tormented by the prose-cutor and his man Friday. It must bethey that are guilty of allowing a noto-rious soashore gambler to defy the lawyear after year. It must be they, whosedefault caused' the citizens of LongBranch to organize a law and orderleague, and yet—and yet—they were notfound endorsing the notes in, bank ofRUBS Uulick, a notorious, tsolf-coufenaedcriminal; they were not found invitingthe whole board of freeholders to nsumptuous dinuer at that same RUBS)Hulick's rum-uhop, just about tbe limethat that same RUSB Hulick wno fined by[he court (Judge Walling regretting thatho could not send him to prison); andjust after that same board of freeholdersbad passed a large bill iu favor of thosepeace officers.

"And others in the county"! Now,Judge, did you mean me? Please bedefinite. I urn no officer; I draw doBiliary; I never even hud the freehohleru"pass a bill." I know I have been tinreasonable. I have thought before I witsenlightened tluit certain pence oflicerewere Bworn as well to prevent as to pun-ish crime. In view (if recent history, Iam not sure thut they were sworn to doeither. But Judge, what arc you goingto do about it V Are you going to chargethe grand jury that peace officers whoare Blow and negligent, even to the per-mitting of an escape, should be punished ?Are you going to give them a Hu^ingcharge such as you did about the lynch-ing? But whatever you do, dear Judge.can ynu not manage so as to bear verygently upon

HOW WE COT OUR TURKEY.There was no doubt that the country

was prosperous. No reasonable minicould deny it.' The harvests had beenplenteous, and the earth had yielded upher fruits in abundurice. But somehowI couldn't Bee why I should be joyousover the coming of Christmas. Perhapsyou will Bay I was selfish, and I wasselfish, and I am willing to confess I am.The fact is that when the cake is goingaround 1 want to get a piece. If I don'tget it I feel disappointed. While I amglad in the abstract that others come infor a share of the cake, in the concrete Iam mad because it passes me.

But, perhaps, after all, I am too sweep-ing in my conclusions. I don't knowbut that there is one person in the worldwho is capable of self-sacrifice of a highorder, and that is my wife, Nellie.Bless her little heart, I am almost will-ing to overlook all the weakness of hu-manity for her sake. Why,' I've knownher to go without bread and butter when•he was faint with hunger eo that thechildren could have an extra alipe.That was three years ago at Christmastime. The memory of her courage andself denial makes my eyes wet.

You see, Nellie was always practicaland unselfish, while I was impracticableand poetic. Why, if I bad her execu-tive ability I'd have been a millionaireby this time, a cool millionaire, with uyacht and a country house on the Hud-son. But she waa handicapped by hersex and the children and couldn't exer-cise her natural gifts.

I must go on, however, and tell myBtory. The mouth preceding Christmasday of 1885 was the gloomiest time Iever witnessed. We had just arrived inthe city from Shandaken, N. Y., in theCatskills. I was a farmer's boy andNellie was a farmer's daughter. Beforewe were married a famous singer spentthe summer in.our village. One nightat a strawberry festival he heard mesing, and was kind enough to say that Ibad an excellent tenor voice, and thatwith proper culture I could soon com-mand a good salary as a choir singer inNew York. Of course suoh encourage-ment fired me with hope. The farm be-came distasteful to me, andl determined'to cultivate my voice instead'of culti-vating corn,

We had an old fashioned melodeon inthe house, and with the help of a fewlessonB the famous singer gave me andwhat I could learn from hints in the open-ing pages of the choir books, I madelife a burden for the r«Bt of the familywith my do, re, meing every evening.I mode fair progress under the Circum-stances, and Nellie fell in love with meon account of my voice.

Wall, we were married, and for a timemy music was given up. But the uni-formity and commonplace life of a farm-er fretted me, and I took up my musicagain, and after two years' hard workwe moved to the city. I thought in myIgnorance of metropolitan life that Ishould have no difficulty in procuring asituation, but I soon found out my mis-take. In the first place I found that Iwas incompetent. I was deficient instyle. My Yoice,.wliile strong and reso-nant, had not been properly trained.Then, too. there wore no vacancies.Even If I had been competent there werefifty applicants for every position. Be-fore I had been in the city two weeks Iheartily wished myeelf back in Shan-daken again.

In the meantime the little money I hadsaved and brought with me melted awnylike snow on the roof of a barn. My

"time was mainly taken up in runningaround to the musical agencies lookingfor a situation. 1 had a little job on Sun-days singing at a mission on Avenue A,where I earned $2, and for three weeksthat was all I earned. We lived in EnetNew York and my car fare over to thecity and back every day cost me sixteencents.

You will readily see that we had tolive frugally. In fuut, forj.two weekswe lived upon oatmeal and mrJasBen, andChristmas coming overthehillB. Everynight when I got out at Manhattan ave-nue my three little girls weru standing

~8t"thsj foot of tliedalrwaj/Staaitinj? for' me. I could see them from the top of

the stairs, all in a row, llieir little dunksflapping in the chill November wind,their lips blue, and their teeth rattlinglike castanets.

Wait a minute. It makes me feelfaint to think of it, even after the lapseof three years. Well, It's all over now,and I don't know why it affects me sostrongly. There was something humor-ous, too, in the way the little tots jumpedaround to keep warm. As soon as tlioysaw the train awing around the turnthey ranged themselves in a row undlooked upward eo wistfully, oh, so wist-fully, to see their papa, ('or you mustknow that although not one word ofourdespornta situation had been broathndin their hearing, yet their keen Intui-tions had told thorn that something waswrong, and they know as well ue theirmottter tbat I was looking for work.

1 Bow eagerly they looked in my face eachevening, so tbat if there was a ray ofhope In It the eldest could start on a runto tell her mother the good nows 1

Of course I cliocred them with fairyU|es of what • wonderful big turkeywe would have on Christmas—a gob-bier of tremendous eizo, that hod strut-ted when alive like a prince in story

I iMpto I fclifiif b*forgiven tor those ties. For lb<?y werelies ol tbe blackest sort. I knew therewasn't one chance in a thousand thatw» would have a turkey oa Christmasday. But I think under the circum-stance* that an angel of light wouldhave departed from the truth to seethose little faces light up with anticipa-tion, to see too cheeks flush and thewhite teeth bare themselves as though•cuttiiijpthe^tender meat from alurkeyleg, • t

.But the hardest sight for me to bearwas tho look Nellie gave nm Just onequick glance into my face and «he knewall the sorrowful tale— i t was noAnecitsary to tell her how I had tramped thestreets of the big city all day; how faintJ had become from hunger; how I wasraging at heart like a caged lion ; howiu my awful rago I cursed the rich nndhated humanity, Not for myself,'butfor the hungry babies and their mother.' Never n word of complaint from Nel-ie. Only encouragement and hope.

Then came the oatmeal alone. Tliomolasses was all gone. I don't eat oat-meal now. The taste of. it is insuffera-ble to me. My palate rises in rebellionagainst it. J have heard of the manwho ate thirty quail in thirty dayn. Iwonder whether he ever tried oatmealfor thirty dayp.

On the night before Christinas eve Ias fairly rrazy with grief nnd anticipa-

tion. Nellie and I hud a consultation.he night before, and she suggested thatI should write a piece of poetry aboutthe Christmas turkey.

The idea pleased me. It was a reliefcertainly from the brooding over themorrow. I got a book of pooma- frommy little store, which had so fur escaped the pawn shop, and hunted up ametre/after which I copied, for of courseI knew nothing about metre or poetical

Meanwhile Nellie sat there mendingthe clothing of her bnbies and the tearsfell thick and fust upon the garments.I couldn't stand it and so I jumped upand went out into the Btreet to walk olfthe effect those childish voices liail uponme. When I came back, thank Heaven,Uiey were asleep, folded in each other'sarms. Then I got to work on tny poem.It toiik me one hour and a half to writethe first verso. I became discouragedbefore I hod written two lines and wouldhnve given up but for Nellie's encouragemen I.

Now, whatVthe URe. Nell; just lis-ten to this antff," said 1, reading tlitfstanza: / ^

Tim t/rkey raosteth hlBb io-nlRlit—He's hid In tbe hemlock true.

In funcr 1 Btsti Ills plumage bright.But he gobbles not for me.

" Why, I think it's real nice. I didn't_Dow you could write as well an that.It's splendid. Write another stanza."

But don't you see, Nell, Unit it isn'ttrue. The turkey don't gobble at night."

"Oh, well, that don!t make any dif-ference. The poets always have license,you know. Besides, how many personswill know that he doesn't gobble ntnight,? Not one in a hundred."

"I'm afraid it's no good and that itwont go with the editor. Anyhow, I'lltry a few lines more."

The little clock ticked monotonouslyin tile mantel, Tho fire burned low undNellie put a shawl over her elioulderB,tor the room was growing cold. Butthe chill ui.r did not affect me. I wasgiving birth to a poem. The secondstanza came easier. What bothered memost was the rhyme. I think, to thebest of my recollection, that the secondinstallment consumed a half hour of in-.enue thought. I was hotter satisfied.nan with the first stanza, DPCUUBO 1knew it wa» truer. Here it iB, just us Iread it to Nellie :

Ills comb 1H red as ruddy wine,His breast is a unlnlnK sheen :

But als ruraiss Is safe irrnn inn nnd mine—We can't pick nla wlBQtjone clean.

The muse was rather skittish at thehiril stanza. I coaxed her with a pipe

of tobacco, the fumes of which madeNellie cough, and I persuaded her to goto bed. The clock struck eleven. Thewind rattled tho window frame, and 1begun to think that poets earned theirmoney. I almost fell asleep over thisstanza. While laboriously constructingt there came a picture to mo of the oldfarm-house in the Catskills, the tablegroaning with its weight of good things,

It occurred to me just here that I wasdoing the groaning* now. When thethird verse was finished, after mauy in-terlineations and corrections, it read asfollows:

There was a time, lonK, long ago.When deprived otnla tealhery vent,

1 selzwl Ills leg In my »lron« rlglit Lund,Anil aiMtcwil bin mealy breiut.

By this time I had got into the spiritof my undertaking. The lines ran offtbe end of my pen as smoothly as waterruns oS a duck's back. With a confidentmile I finished the last verse.

The next morning I hud to fill up thelole in a ten-cent piece with soap and

ashes in order to deceive the toll-taker,t tho elevated railroad station. All the

way down town I read and reread thealleged poem, trying to perfect it.When I arrived in New York I hesitatedbefore the big newsppaer offices, afraidto go in, At last I managed to pluckup courage enough lo go upstairs, wherecontrary tomy'cxpectatiohs, lwas kindly received und was told that my poemwould b« read, and if it possessed suffi-cient mdrit it would be printed. 'Twasencouraging, to be wire, but what wax 1going to do in the meantime for the tur-key?

Tho day was spent in the usual way,running uround looking for a job audfinding none. I managed, however, to•arn 60 cents by carrying some coal.9 Itlurt my pride to do it, but the faces of

tho children roue before me, und I wouldalmost have committed murder justthen.

With a heavy heart I started to ivalkover the bridge just after sunset. The

ind blew cold from the northeast, anaI buttoned my coat cloBe to my chin. Itwas a starlit night. The great towersloomed up above me like entrances togigantio temples. The river rushed andswirled below, and reflected in silver

f leamB the light from theelectrjc lamps,could seejhe little waves capped with

foam? It was a fascinating'signi, nhd Ifelt strangely drawn toward th« river.Fur ii time I forgot the babies und Nellie.-Behind me was tho great, roaring city,with its tliouHandsvf men and womenstruggling for existence, I had boentrampled under foot in the cruali. Whyshould 1 return and renew the buttle?As I brooded over the rivor, chilled totho marrow by the searching wind,' thewater seemed to beckon to me. Itsshifting currents whispered "Come;"its shadowy, gleaming rifts, its minia-turo maelstroms seemed to my excitedfancy to Bay: "Hore'e rest for you.We'll bear you away to n dreamlesssleep, whore hunger und pain and sor-row are drowned in the nepenthe ofeternal rest."

In this Btato of partial unconscious'ness I began to'climb up the railing toreach tlio roadway below, when a po-liceman touched moon the shoulder andtold me to '• move on," I did movo on,but in a dazed, uncertain .way, until Treached tlio Brooklyn entrance. 'Herethe crowd from the cars was pouringout Into the street like a torrent, and inthe crush t was hustled about and allout Dtumbled into tho arum of a stouninn niuilled in an old urmy overcoat,He held mo away from him by myarms. Tiion ho shook mo niul said :

" Whatfa the m t U e r with y o u , Total« «Jn't ilrnisk, -k* j « ? "TtiM* w t s something fejpiiU-r in the

toUx, txA ii)ott.ng up'Xtaw Ihn homelyfj/K <A Sis-rB J o f i a , of KfcfcttdeJaen, b«foreme. Ttitu c&ms another riitlte, endthis t i m e I came to myeel f again.

" B y George, Sam, I'm glad to Beeyou," I stammered.

•' Well , Iet'a g o nn' get somethin' towarm you up. You're near froze, man.

Thawed and mel ted by a steamingglass of spirits, I told Sam all the sor-rowful story, H o w the children wouldbe wai l ing ut the Btntion for me , expect-ing the turkey I had s o foolishly prom-ised them, and my inability to procure it.I was interrupted at intervals by ex-clamations from Sam such a s :! " W e l l , I'll be darned?" " Y o u kin

Jjet-yer,bootB them kido is-goin'_taJuivLtheir turkey 1" ".B'gosh !" " I alleradid say that the city's n o place fur afarmer 1" '

Under the cheerful influence of Sam'ssympathy I soon regained m y lost cour-age. H e insisted that we should go tothe nearest grocery, w h e r e , h e pickedout t h e biggfst turksy h« could find.Then there were t w o quarts of cranber-ries, three big mince pies, a package ofcandy for the children, a bunch of crispcelery, and other things appropriate toChristmas day . • , "

When Hum left m e at the elevatedstation lie prtstwd a $5 bill into myhund, despite m y protests, w i t h the re-mark : . • , .

Now, you take it, old m a n . I gotdurn good priceB for tny truck this sea-son. 'Sides that I am only lendin' it toye. Ye've got to pny ine every centback i "

With n parting hand shake he disap-peared. A» the tniin ruttled along overthe shining rails I could see the lights ofthe big bridge fading away behind me.The river rushed below just as i t haddone one brief hour before, but its tur-bid water* had no fascination for menow.

iBh every Yuan and~ woman whoreads ihls story could l ia i e seen thefaces ol thosu tliu-e children us theystood at the foot of the elevutid station.My arms were filled with bundles, andwhen thoso three pairs of eyes gazedupon the glorious s ight , what an infan-tile shout went u p ! And how theydanced with gleo ! The eldest insistedthat slit- could carry the turkey, but shecouldn't ; i t tvus too heavy. But eachone had to carry a buudle. And so, likeii conquering army returning w i t h thespoils, we marched around to the house.

A n d Nellie I Well, bless me, if shedidn't sit right down on a chair and crylike a baby. I can't remeiiiberdiutinctly,because, you see, it's three years ago now;but I have an indistinct recollection thatu few talt drops ran down my cheeks.As for Sum Jones, I think he would havefelt fully repaid for his kindness if hecould liuve heuid ISeulali say her littleprayer that night. That s imple petitionit* carved HO diHtinctly on the walls of mymemory that I can repeat it word forword :

Dod bless 'KismiB, en papa, enm a m m a , en Sum Jones. Dood n i g h t ! "
