A Disturbance in West Mted Bank on Saturday Sight1, The family of MrB. Fannie Scott of Shrewsbury avenue bad a bad scare on Saturday night.. Mrs. Scott i$ employed in Charles Cook's restaurant and it usually past' midnight when she gets home Saturday nights. She had been home but a short time last Saturday night When there were three loud bangs on the back door of the house and the door fell in. The door had been broken down with a shutter taken from the house. The door was fixed up tempo rarily for the night and a little later a pane of glass in a rear window was broken out' with the shutter. The family -was badly frightened and they stayed up all the test of the night. It is thought the attack was made by drunken people but there is no clue as to who they were, _ ^. A Belford Train Seeded. (From the Atlantic KiQldania Frees.) There is quite a demand for an evening train to and from Red Bank for Bel-, fprd, Atlantic Highlands, Highlands and Seabrigbt. At present the only train service direct between Bed Bank and these points consists of a train run over the line to Red Bank about noon and rim "back again almost immediately Such a service does not accommodate ELECTIONS AT MARLBORO.

Coffer's restaurant at Seabright was moved last week by Matthews Brothers of Red Bank. The building is 18x60 feet. The building was moved to the south side of the lot and Mr. Coffer will build an addition to the north end of the building. Charles P. Irwin of Red Bank has the contract for rebuilding John G. Gillig's bulkhead between Fair Haven and Oceanic. The bulkhead was damaged by the recent storm. New brass railings have been put up on the stone steps leading to the en trance of Asbury Methodist church at Long Branch, The railings were the gift of Jesse P. Monaharj. M. P. Yard is moving a small frame house at Keyport to the rear of the lot and will build a store where the house now stands. The store will be 15x40 feet. Joseph Brakeley of Freehold has in. stalled a water system in his factory for fire protection. Ho has also provided several chemical fire extinguishers.. Smock & Evans of Red Bank have' their new machine shop nearly inclosed. The shop is oh the river bank at Fair Haven and is 20x85 feet. James Campbell of Long Branch haB built an addition to his house, comprising two bedrooms and a bathroom. Harry E. Chisman of Keyport has bought a lot from William H. Watts and will build a house on it. Frank Riddle of Mannsquan will build a new house on a lot which he bought from J. E. Falkenburg. Clarence E. Hardy of Manasquan is building a new barber shop on leased ground. William C. Longstreet of Manasquan is building a new barn. A New House at West Side. Mrs, Ernma \V. Jones of Middletown, New York, has bought a lot at West Side from Theodore White. The lot is situated on the north side of Sunset avenue. It is 50 feet wide and 150 feet deep. Mrs, JoneB will build an eightroom house on the lot in the spring. This makes 09 lots now sold, at West Side, leaving only six more to be sold on the easy terms as advertised in THE REGISTER. • anyone. " • .'• • The Red Bank people cannot get to Belford or other points unless by a very circuitous trip via Long BranchTlr Matawan. Business between Red Bank and Belford, Atlantic Highlands and Seabright is greatly hampered through lack .of better train service. Of course, there is not enough in the matter to concern the railroad greatly. But neither would the cost "of a trip to Red Bank and bac,k. between 5 and o'clock, p. M. be a costly experiment. And it would accommodate the public. The new management of the Central Railroad Company of New Jersey has proved itself attentive to p'opular petitU tions by being the first to give the public a theatre train. No doubt the desire of the people for another train to and from Red Bank will be as ^courteously regarded. The indications are that the new officers are not bound utterly to the prejudices'and policies of predecessors. More liberal tendencies toward enterprise are to be observed. A request, therefore, for a little accommodation like the addition to the schedule of a train to Red Bank may be favorably entertained. It would certainly be in line with progress too. • The Calithumptf^n Xuisance. A Stout Street House Sold.' W, A.

The " same old crowd," as one of their own number unwittingly called them, that goes the rounds serenading all the young married people who settle in Freehold, whether or not they have ever been intimate with either bride or bride groom, have twice during the past week, upon their own invitation, and with a flourish and beating of drums to emphasize their ardent friendship, marched to the home of their victims and sought admission. With honest and sincere hospitality, the bridal parties made the best of the situation, swallowed their annoyance, made their unbidden guests feel that they were overjoyed to see them, invited them in and treated them to refreshments.

WHITE, Rooms i and 2, Register Building, Broad Street, Red Bank. N. J . RAILROADS MUST VACATE. THEY'CAN NOT OCCUPY PUBLIC HIGHWAYS. The Court of Errors and Appeals ... Decided an Important Vane last Week-Cases In Point at Bed Bank and Atlantic JUghlanas. Edmund Wilson of, Red Bank has won the suit against the New York and Long Branch railroad, which compels the railroad to vacate one of the streets jn South Amboy. The railroad seized the street after it had befcn laid out and held itagainst the public. It put up a building on it and shut the public entirely out; of the use of the highway. The case has been before the courts . for more than a dozen years. • The street had been laid out as a highway before the New York and Long Branch railroad company was organized, but in spite of this fact the railroad occupied thestreet, maintained obstructions there, and refused to remove them. When the case was taken into court the railroad gained some temporary advantages, at first, and it waa thought for a time that it would be impossible to dislodge the railroad from the occupancy of the street, or to make it give up' its possession of the highway., When Mr. Wilson- came into the case he took up the matter in a different way, proceeding by bringing an action in ejectment.The case was carried through all the ' courts !of the state and last week the court of •rrors and appeals decided that the railroad had no right to the street and that it must give up possession of the same. The law which forced the railroad to vacate this street was invoked by Mr. Wilson in the interest of Red Bank when the railroad refused to put down a crossing on Oakland street. The people of the western part of Red Bank had been clnmorous .for a crossing over the railroad at that street for many years, hut the railroad had refused to recognize their demands. When General^ John Sheehan got in the board of commissioners he made a determined effort to have this crossing put down, and the matter was finally roferred to Mr. Wilson, with instructions to begin suit unless the railroad company consented to maintain a crossing. It waa just about that time that Mr. Wilson had beaten the railroad company in one of the courts on the South Amboy cnse and the railroad agreed to put the crossing down without further trouble if the commissioners would wait until that summer's busisess was over. This offer was accepted and in due time the crossing was constructed and itJias since been maintained. Atlantic Highlands is said to have a similar case, but now that the court of errors and appeals has decided that railroads can not occupy streets, some of the people of Atlantic Highlands think that they .may get their street opened. The street occupied by the railroad at Atlantic Highlands is Mount avenue. This street runs from the residential section of the toivn to the business part of tho place, crossing the railroad on the way. Some years ago the railroad built a pumping station in the middle of the street. More recently Che railroad has built a big toolhouse in the street also, and since then it has put up a fence which has completely shut out the public. The commissioners •of Atlantic Highlands have sent frequent notices to the railroad company, telling them to vacate the street, but the railroad company has treated these notices with silont contempt. The people ore .anxious to hare the commissioners begin faction against the company to make it vacate the highway, and now tbat°the highest court of the state has decided against the railroad in a similar case, the people there nre hoping for relief from this encroachment. People coming into Atlantic Highlands by way of Mount avenue drive down Mount avenue until they reach the street west of the railroad, when they have to make a detour of a block in order to cross the traotcs.

What to give that will be acceptable, that will give the recipient lasting pleasure, and that will come within the limits one can afford. We print below some, suggestions. In our large stores we have so great a variety of things that will make fitting presents that we cannot even'name one-tenth of them. The only way you can get a fair idea of what we have in the way. of Christmas gifts is to make a visit to our'store. Then you can see the goods themselves, you cart see how excellent they are in quality,- and how cheap they are in price. Here are some of the things.we might mention: . Pictures, Dinner Sets, Crokonole Boards, Bric-a-Brac, Lamps, Tabourettes, Medicine Cabinets, Pocket Knives, Cut Glass, Fancy Plates, Carving* Sets, Silverware, Clicks, Odd Seats, Parlor Rugs, Hall Lamps, Mirrors, Tea Sets, Carriage Robes, Sewing1 Chairs. -^HOLIDAY FURNITURES- . • f One of our strong points has been, our Holiday Furniture. This is not the usual cheap goods, made up showy, in order to sell at a cheap price. It is the pick of the best manufacturers, made to stand the sudden changes of temperature of our climate, and. above all, made to stand the sudden changes from extreme humidity to extreme dry ness, which makes so much furniture look like the traditional "thirty cents." Our furniture is .handsome, well-made and moderate in price. A piece of our furniture will give happiness for years to come to any man or woman who takes pride in a nicely furnished home. Here are a:few ideas in this line: • A Lady's Desk, in golden oak' or mahogany finish, carved or plain front, with drawer and pigeon holes. A great variety of styles from $3.25 up. A Morris Chair, fittings all of brass, reversible cushions of velour or other durable stuffs, in a. great variety of woods, from $3.98 to $20.00. Morris Rockers, exceptionally well made, at $9.00 to $16.00. A Fancy Rocker, leather cobbler seat, carved back, .some of colonial style, in golden "oak,-mahogany and other woods ; all prices, ranging from $2.00 up. A China1 Closet, plate glass front in golden oak, glass shelves, elegant and dainty carvings, round ends, canopy top; beveled plate glass mirror at top. A Bookcase, to keep the family library, which in these days is always getting larger. Nothing like a bookcase to keep books in good condition. A great variety of styles, sizes and kinds of woods. A bookcase encourages the young folks of the family to increase the store of books, makes the home more attractive and does more to add to the enjoyment of the home than almost any other piece of furniture. A Music Cabinet, keeps the musie together and in good condition, any piece can always be found when wanted ; daintily made and beautifully decorated. - / • . • ' A Parlor Cabinet, to display choice china, curios and family heirlooms; an attraction to any room and the price is as attractive as the cabinet. Dainty Chairs, various styles and designs, to carry out the modern idea of variety in the home ; all of them pretty, all of them moderate in price. A Comfortable Couch, as high or as low- in price as you wish to go ; excellent value for your money no matter what grade you buy; some with adjustable heads ; all of them covered with durable upholstery ; just the thing for papa when he comes home from work tired out, and just the thing to give mamma a little rest when she has a few spare minutes during the day. Good ones at $3.T5 ; better ones at $8.00 and $9.00 ; and extra good ones at $18.00. A Set of Dining Room Furniture, Table and Chairs, Extension Table, chairs.cane seat, or upholstered in. leather; never before so good for so little money. Tables, $3.50 to $22.00. Chairs, $1.00 to $3.00 each. A Sideboard—most families can't get along without them now; haridjr for the table cutlery, for the glassware, for the napkins and table cloths. Carved or plain fronts, double and single doors, convenient drawers, some with shelves for display purposes; §9.00 to $80.00. -H FOR THE CHILDREN '&The children do not want to be forgotten. They are an important part of the household on Christmas. In many families they are the most important members of the household on that day. We have provided for them, though we can't begin to tell in this advertisement of all the things .we have for them. But here are some reminders : A Pair of Skates, wooden tops or club skates, also racing skates for the youngster who thinks he is a skating sharp ; prices from almost nothing up. •A Eocking Horse, the greatest plaything a child ever had—children in the ark cried for their turn on the rocking horse and this plaything has kept up its popularity ever since. Comfortable seats for the little riders where they .can't fall; will last a family's lifetime. • s A Velocipede for the youngster, girl or boy, who is just too big for the rockiqgjrorsej Rubber tires, steel wheels, comfortable seat, and easy running axletrees ; lasts forever; $1.25 up. A Gun, if the boy is old enoujgh to properly use it. 'Twill give the boy a heap of pleasure and it will send him out in the fields and woods a good deal, and it's, worth its price for that reason "alone. ^AU breachloaders, thus ensuring safety. All the equipments for the gun also. A Pair of Gloves, that no cold can come through; will keep the hands warm in the bitterest, zero weather ; every male member of the family ought to have a pair of these ; 25c. to $2.50. A Sled—There will be lots of opportunity to use it this winter, for there's going to be a good deal of snow according to the goose's wishbone and the squirrel stories. We sell the steerable kind as well as ordinary sleds. • An Express Wagon, made of wood, gaily painted, useful for a child to haul things in as weft as desirable as a toy; 95 cents to $2.00. A Doll Carriage, all styles and all sizes, some with canopies, some without, pretty as can be, and will delight any girl. Children's Desks, will enable the boy or girl to keep his belongings together; will teach him habits of neatness and will always be a source of pride to him. Maybe one pf the things we have mentioned above is not exactly what you have been thinking of getting. No matter, come to our store—if it's in our line it's here, and it's here at the price you can afford to pay. It's as good as a visit to a bazar to come to our store, and if you don't want to ^buy, or have made up your mind to buy elsewhere this year (which isn't probable, of course) come just the same, and you'll get an idea of the prices. We want to see you whether you buy anything or not. There won't be any hard feelings on our part if you don't buy a cent's worth, but we rea,lly do want you to see our things. •' HENDRICKSON & APPLEGATE, Hen$lrickson Block, Front Street, Red Bank, N.

"Yes, sir," said an obsequious youth) "the man was here, but we got.a mes' sage from you, that we mustn't let him bring the bundle into the house." "What did you do?" demanded Lafarge. "We sent word up stairs," responded the liveried youth, "and Miss Mallory came down and brought the bundle In: She said she understood what yon meant." "Lafarge, this Is fate!" said Hale, striding toward the elevator, with a BCOWI upon,his face that made the colored man in charge of the car turn white. "• A neat mnid opened the door of the Mallory apartments. "The things you- sent have come, Dr. Lafarge," she suld. The chemist responded with a groan, as he leaned for a mouieut against the wall. . . . "Why, what's the matter, Donald?" asked a most agreeable voice, adding immediately: "How do ,you do, Dr. Hale? I'm so glad Donald brought you along." "Grace," gasped' Lafarge, "what did you do with that bundle?" The girl seemed bewildered by the strange .behavior of the man, but she could hare no notion that anything really serious had happened. All this must bo a part of the agreeable mysteries of the Christmas season. Perhaps Dounld was afraid that the people for whom the gifts were intended had Been them prematurely. A boy of ton stood heslde her, his arm around her waist. She disengaged herself from the child, and, turning lilin around till his "back was toward her, gave him a gentle tap between the shoulders. "Run along, Bert," said she. "This is confidential." "She's hidden all the presents. Uncle Donald," said the boy. "But I'll bet I know where they are." "Hurry, Grace!" said Donald, approaching her. "I put tbe package in Aunt Sarah's room," whispered the girl. "It's right by the foot of her bed. Aunt Sarah has 'nerves,'" she added, smiling at Hale.

Lafarge seized him by the shoulder, and the three were for an instant most absurdly posed. "Grace," said Lafarge, "there has been a fearful mistake. A package sent to my office for, examination got mixed up with those presents." •"My goodness! Is it poison?" she gasped. "How dreadful! Yet it really can't do any harm, since the mistake has been discovered. Nobody has touched the things. / I'll go- and get them." She slipped away from Lafarge aud ran straight against Hale, who, with remarkable agility, placed himself in her path. "It's an explosive," whispered Lafarge. "Don't scream. You'll scare everybody to death. The children are watching us from the parlor. They think this 1B a new Christmas game,' I guess. The thing was sent to a man who has been threatened, and some detectives captured It in time. Don't— don't bo alarmed! It's probably quite harmless, but we can't take any chances."

Christmas without candy, toys and flowers would not be much "of a Christmas in many homes. Especially it •" would not be much of a Christmas for the youngsters if they were to wake up " on Christmas morning and find that old ' Santa Clans had forgotten to fill their stockings up to the-top with toys and • things... And what would Christmas be to a little girl unless a doll were in her ' stocking? Old Santa Claus has a number of storehouses in Red Bank where he can replenish his pack. Tetley & Son's is one of them., They have books of all kinds at all sorts of prices ; they have dolls with jointed bodies and • moving eyes; they have iron toys, me- ' chanical toys, and a big variety of playthings ; and they bave calendars and • diaries. F. W. Moselle makes a specialty of ' y games for the amusement of children. ' Checkers, dominoes, crokinole, trip to Paris, halma, and many other games ' are in his stock. He also has iron and' tin toys, magic lanterns, trains of cars, • , and toys that will operate mechanically when they have been wound up. At Welter's five-and-ten-cent store on Broad street are hosts of things suitable for gffts for the little folks and for bigger folks as well. The stock is not confined to articles that sell for five and ' ten cents, but there are dolls, toys and household trifles that runup as high as ' a dollar or a dollar and a half. Horses ! and wagons, books and games, dolls' go- • carts, and a variety of other goods make it easy to get enough tMngs there to'fill a dozen stockings, and yet to have all the things different. The variety, store of Frederic Stevens on Broad street, adjoining Truex's grocery, is, as. its name implies, a store ' where small articles in great variety are•'" ' sold. Rings, buckles and other ornaments for girls and children might be called Mr. Stevens'a specialty, if he has : a specialty in a stock so varied as his. • Hand-painted china, cut glass salt and pepper holders, a nd novelties of all kinds will be found here. • • Charles B. Salter has just opened a store in the Milward building on Shrewsbury arenue to supply that part of the town with toys and games. Mr. Salter keeps Christmas books, building blocks, Christmas tree decorations, pocket knives, and a great assortment of other small goods suitable as Christmas gifts. Laug's store is headquarters for candy, not only for Red Bantt people, but for people from, -many miles around the town. The Laugs have been in the candy business in. the town for more than a quarter of a century. They keep ' all kinds of candy and a great part of what they sell is manufactured on their own premises, under their own- supervision. Besides the candy they make on their own premises they sell Huyler's candies, and they, also have a large stock of Christmas tree ornaments. NoChristma8 table is complete without floral-decorations. Blooming plants make a continuous show for days and weeks, but when these cannot be had cut flowers supply the deficiency for odor, color and beauty on the table. At Lovett's flower store, in THE REGISTER building, roses, carnations and other cut flowers are kept constantly on hand, and blooming plants can also be had there. Jardinieries and fern dishes filled with plants make as choice a Christmas gift as can be imagined; while palms, rubber plants and other winter house plants are to be had in almost endless variety. Those who lmve no opportunity to obtain Christmas trees for their homos from the woods, will bo able to get them at Lovett's; and wreaths, holly, cro3se and other Christmas decorations can also be obtained at this store. What would bo q Christmas table without fruit'? or what would a boy think if he did not find bis alioeH full of assorted nuts on - Christmas ^morning? •• In many places after Santa Claus has filled the stock ings on Cliriqtmaa eve he ' amuses himself by filling the shoes of all the youngsters with nuta of all kinds, ' and then hiding the shoes so that the children can have a' little search for • thorn,in the' morning.

All the scouts brought news that tho enemy was continuing his retreat into the west, and, moreover, the weather did not invite to active Bervice. There was nothing for the men to do but make themselves comfortable, and that they did the best they could. They occupied a shallow basin in the Those souvenir calendars which I described pretty fully, in T H E REGISTER two crest of a low but very wide hill—a basin large enough to hold the entire army and weeks ago are going like hot cakes.

The metal dishes rattled, and the hum of talkbut you will have to see them to fully appreciate them. and laughter arose. r "This is comfort—solid comfort, I' call it," said Dan Mason, the Kentuckian, to his comrades, leaning back and luxuriating a little in the unusual rest and peace. i- . The others did not reply, but devoted themselves body and soul to the food.. It is surprising how rapidly this branch of my business is growing. A little while Mason looked thoughtfully at them for a minute or two and then resumed his task. ago I told you I had framed 230 pictures within the previous two months.

Now you hear me talking," He resumed his attack upon the food, nnd the others laughed. It was in truth a most comfortable camp. The tents were raised already, and the men might take their ease without worry. Mason leaned back against a, hillock and, drawing a tiny pamphlet from an inside pocket of his faded army coat, studied it attentively. The others did not notice him for a minute or two, aiid then it was Settle who spoke: "Reading, Dan?" he asked. "Yes, Tom, I'm reading." "Is it so mighty interesting?"

I C. R. D. FOXWELL, J Second Floor of Register Building, RED BANK, N.J. • I R S e ^ l I y . H e T w a s creeping on hands and knees like an Indian. All the instincts of the Kentuckian of the mounrtains were aroused in h l m ^ The flame -was in his blood, and be was now the hunter after prey. ', Forward he went, searching, the Interlacing ..bushes with his keen eyes, his rifle at the cock and every muscle tense and ready for action. His stained and dark uniform would have made a blot on the snow, but he, kept to the cover of the bushes, and no one looking there would have known that a man was passing. H e could hear the notes of the Christmas hymn swelling in a chorus of many' voices, but it was unheeded.. Mason now had work to do, and he meant to do i t He crept on up the ravine'and near the hill stopped, and listened intently. H e thought that he heard a'soft crunch on the snow, as of some one moving behind a thick,clump of bushes that grew near, but he was not sure whether it was a friend or an enemy. He approached a little, lying down oil the snow, and drew himself forward with body outstretched like a snake. H e heard the sound again, very faint now—so faint that it would have passed unnoticed by any ear less keen than his own. Mason felt that it was an enemy behind the bushes—an enemy who knew that danger was approaching and would be cautious. ' His blood swelled with the pride.of conflict and the emulation of skill. He would watch this wary foe, and his muscles became tenser than ever . as he prepared for the test. He glanced . only once at his rifle to see 'that the weapon was ready and then resumed his sliding and slow advance. He reached the clump of bushes and, laying his ear to the snow, could hear nothing. Bat he was confident that his foe was still on the other side. 'He could not have escaped unseen, and, sure alike in his courage and his judgment, he began to creep around the bushes, his finger on the trigger, ready to fire at the first glimpse. He reached the other side, but nothing was there—only a trail in the snow to show how his enemy, too, had made the circuit—and the bushes still stood between. But Mason was sot discouraged. He .did not expect to catch the man without trouble. The unknown would, have been a very cheap sharpshooter indeed If he had allowed himself to be overtaken so easily, and Masou felt pleased because the enemy matched against bis skill and courage seemed altogether worthy of him. He began the second circuit of the bushes, more careful now than ever, not making the slightest noise, lest his enemy should hear and take warning. When he was half way arou.'cd, the sound of shots to both left and right .rose, and he knew that his comrades were in battle with the other sharpshooters. But they were too far away to be seen, and he did not take his mind from his own particular part of the work. It was ona of the merits of Mason that he knew how to attend to his own business. He was as patient now as the Indians whom he imitated, creeping forward and then turning back, seeking to entrap his •wary foe. But the man seemed to return with him every time and still remained >hWden. Mason could not tell whether i his enemy was endeavoring to escape or pursue. He laughed noiselessly at the thought that he himself might be pursued while he was pursuing. Well, it did not matter. It merely made the test of skill all the more interesting. "The Dhephcrds went their hasty way." He heard the notes of the music agniu, louder and clearer than ever, and then more rifle shots. The skirmish was flaring into increased activity. He listened to it a moment, although be never doubted that bis comrades would win. But he trusted that they would not win too soon, as he wished to finish his own affair without help.' , Then he turned suddenly and went swiftly back on his own track, catching a glimpse of a dark figure around the curve of the bushes. He raised his rifle and fired, but not quicker than the other man. The reports were simultaneous, and a bullet clipped the clothing on Mason's shoulder. Whether his enemy was struck or not he did not know, and there was no sound. Mason was annoyed. H e must device some method of finishing it quickly. He lay quite still and pondered deeply for a minute or two. Then an idea came to him. He took off his cap, placed it on the end of his gun barrel and, lying fiat, thrust it out in front of him, raising it slightly in the air. He made no mistake. There was a flash, a report, and a'bullet whistled through.the cap. Springing to his feet, loaded rifle in hand, he ran forward. His enemy, trapped so neatly, leaped up; his empty rifle still smoking at the muzzle, and ran through the thickets. Mason followed fast. The. passion of the chase was upon him, and he resolved that the man should not escape. He raised his rifle once and marked a spot on the fugitive's back where he could plant a bullet.

Presently he threw it away, as if ho feared that it would impede his flight. Then he ran faster. But Mason, too, increased his speed. Tho despairing fugitive heard the crunching footsteps on the snow v coming closer and closer. They roaened a little glen, and hero the fugitive sank down among some bushes, exhausted. "Throw up your hands!" cried Mason, raising his rifle. The man raised his bands, saylpg, "I V yield 1" But Mason did not lower his rifle. "Yes, you yield," ho said, "but I don't know that I ought tef'sparo you. I hnve my opinion of a man who sneaks up to a camp in tho dark and shoots from ambush." "It's war," replied the man.

That samesense of awe which he had felt earlier"nTTthe evening and then had shaken off began to steal over Mason again.' "Dan! Dan! Do you hear that?" suddenly- cried the man. "Yes, I hear it." ' "Do you know what It means?" ' "Yes; it is Christmas night. You need not tell me that. I know it. What havo you or the likes of you to do with such a night as this?" Markham looked up into his face. "It's not me, Dan; it's you that ought to think about it,!' he said. "It's murder, Dan, if you kill me—me an unarmed: man. And think of it, Dan, on.such a night as this—Christmas night, with that song ringing in your ears. Whenever you lay down to sleep, you'll hear it again."

'And three or four times I thought I had you," replied the man. . "Maybe BO," replied Mason, who was too polite to dispute his assertion. Yet he was sure that it was his skill and no£ his luck* which had achieved the victory. He noticed now that the man still remained on his knees in tbe snow. He seemed to be dreading a blow.

RED BANK, N. J. CHRISTMAS GIVING. GOLDEN MISTLETOE. The Wonderful Tree in a Beattti The Poor Were Xat Foraotton 'in the Bays of Long Ago. /til drove. There is an anoient custom for ftie reotor.of Piddlo Hinton, in Dorsetshire, to give away on old Christmas day, the 6th of January, annually, a pound of bread, a pint of ale and a minoe pie to every poor person in tho parish, and this distribution is rogularly made by the reotor to upward of 800 poor persons. At Stafford there ia an old charity for providing ,poor people with plums for their Christmas puddings, and a kind hearted man at Bnrnham left a sum sufficient' to provide the inmates of the poorhouse of the parish with a Christmas dinner, followed by a proper supply of ale, tdbacoo and snuff. At frinoo Risbbrough, in Bucking ham'shire, there was a very singnlar Christmas usage. Up to about 1818 a bull, a boar, a saok of whoat and a Back of malt were given away to the poor by tho lord of tho manor at about 6 o'clock every Christmas morning. This practice was then discontinued, and for about five or six years beef and mutton were distributed in piaoe of the above artiolea. Mr. Grubb—fit name for the dispenser of what Rittinaster Dugald Dalgetty would call "the provend"—of the parsonage honse, the then lord of the manor, whose father first stopped the above oustom.ary distribution, produced to the commissioners of charities a case whioh his father had laid before a justice, relative to this custom, with a view of obtaining the opinion of counsel as to whether it could be sustained as a custom ut common law, and whether he should be subject to legal process if ho omitted to make the distribution. It appears from the document that the custom had then prevailed for a considerable number of .years; that it was mentioned in the local histories, but that its origin was lost in obsourity. The praotioe, while it lasted,"seems to have been productive of muoh intoxication and riot. The poor, are said to have paraded the town during the whole night preceding the distribution with an incessant clamor, effectually banishing all repose. On the following morning they marched in crowds to Mr. Grubb's house, and these assemblies often comprised many Btrangers as well as parishioners. On the doors being opened they all rushed to the feast prepared for them with so little decorum and forbearance that often in their zeal for priority they inflioted wounds on one another with their knives. The whole Remaining portion of Christmas day, it is stated, was spent by many of them in the public houses. The justice before whom the matter was heard waB of the opinion that this custom was not sustainable OB a common law right, and the charity commissioners reported that they had received no sufficient evidence that the custom could be considered BB charitable donation tho continuance of whioh coula be euforced.- " ' The eacred books of the Buddhists prove that Sn the early days of their religion a queafcion whiob deeply agi fcated the minds of the learned was whether or not the trees had BOUIS, says a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger. Ihe opntrovorsy raged Btrongly, for the belief was •widespread that in injuring or mutilating a tree proportionate pain woa inflicted ou its spirit's nature.

Acoepting, then, this prevalent faith in the actual lifo and soul of the trees, we must pass on to the snbjebtson hand —the goldon bough or mistletoe—the ' olassio gloomy vale and its locality, wherein the legend of Balder the Beautiful and his death by the mistletoe shaft are in touch with the anoient doctrines of tree worship. It is often stated that Virgil gave this name of tho golden bough to the mistletoe, whereas he only compares it with the mistletoe.' In the sixth book of the "iEneid" he ' tells us how two doves, guiding iEneaa to the gloomy vale, in whose depth grew the golden bongh, alighted upon a tree "whence shone a flickering gleam of gold. As in the woods in winter odd, the mistletoe—a plant not native to its tree—is green with fresh leaves and twines its yellow berries about the boles. Snoh seemed npon> the shady oak the leafy gold, so rustled in the gentle breeze the golden leaf." Virgil does not. eay it is the mistletoe, and yet what else? Its identification is perfect. The poet locates the gloomy vale in the neighborhood of Lake Avornus, but Italian tradition, aa recorded by Servius, points to the grove of Kemi, Aricia. Now the story of this Arioian grove is embodied in Macaulay's lines: -^ -^T 4 Tho still, classy lake that sloops Beneath Arioia's treeB— Those trcos In whoso dim shadow Tho ghastly priest doth roign, Tho priest who slow tho slayer And shall himself bo slain. SWISS CHRISTMAS DINNER. Iloast Goose. Occupies the Place of Honor—The National OIHII. In this beautiful country, where the laws and the customs vary in every canton, tho mistress of the kitchen has a wide variety of German, Italian and French cooking to seleot from. But on ChristmaB day, although all these styles may be united on one table, there is an invariable although unwritten law that roast goose shall bo the ohief dish. The dessert is a marvelous mixture of Swiss confectioneries, comprehending everything from little cocoanut oakes to elaborate structures of flour and sugar interspersed with all sorts of nuts and Bjball fruits. But between the opening goose and the olosing patisserie is introduced the really national Christmas dish called the Geneva fritters. These fritters are made after the following rocipe:.
