Before an admiring crowd of country yokels he was dilating upon the virtues of his waxwork collection, gathered upon the village green. Turning to the effigy of a thin, attenuated gentleman in gorgeous garb, he exclaimed: "Now this, gentlemen, this is the cream of the 'ole collection.

"But I thought," interposed a small man, in blue glasses, determined to get full value for the threepence admission J he had paid, "that George IV. was a very stout man." "Very likely 'e was, sir," replied the showman. "But if you'd been 'ere as long as 'e 'as without even a mouthful of food you'd 'ave shrunk a bit yerself."?London Answers. Proof of His Generosity.?The teacher had a class in English literature before her. The subject for the day was Gray's "Elegy." She had asked the class to bring in questions on the life of Gray. These questions were to be deposited in a box which was to be opened before the class and each question read aloud. If no one could answer it the one who contributed it was to be called on for the answer. The first slip drawn out contained this: "Give a proof of Gray's generosity." The teacher thought of what a recluse Gray had been and of how little interest he had ever shown in his fellows, and she wondered how any one u tho imnrpssinn lUliiu nave t cvti? vu iuw ....j,. ? that he was generous. Every one looked blank, and no one attempted to answer. The girl who wrote the question was called on for her "proof," and this is what she said, "He gave to misery all he had?a tear."

On reaching Eighty and Chestnut street he made his way to a hotel, where he asked for a room. His personal appearance being that of a gentleman he was given a room. About twenty minutes later the telephone bell at the cashier's desk tingled. "Hello," said a voice at the other end, "there are two racks up in this room: which one do I use?" "You have two hats: put one on each rack," answered the clerk. The man at the other end must have been satisfied with the answer, because he wasn't heard from for the rest of the night.?Philadelphia Times. Choice of Three.?"You'll have to do one of three things," declared the very portly conductor. The ticketless passenger looked up insolently and said: "Well?" "Show yer ticket, pay yer fare or git off," answered the very portly conductor. The insolent passenger leaned out of the window. "And you, too, mv friend," he said seriously, "will have to do one of three things." "Well?" queried the portly conductor confidently. "Walk more, retorted the passenger, "eat less or bust!"

In the centuries that have passed since the coming of a little child : changed the history of the world, the I day, the people ha\ e chosen to cele orate as tnat 01 ms mnn ua? uurn been distinguished by other events than that one far off divine event. ( Other children have been born on December 25 and bewailed the fact, because it meant but one set of presents. Empires have been established, kings crowned, state policies defined, battles fought and won and lost. A royal marriage or birth or christening'has more ^ than once seemed to overshadow for j the moment the o.'der, greater fact. < But for a moment only. Aiwa;, s as the ' years, and with ;hem the men and , deeds that make them, recede into the j mists of the past, the lesser happen- 1 ings fall into a truer perspective, be- j comes subordinate to the great central event, which for years has illumined and glorified December 25, making it the most radiant, the most nearly unl- ' versal holiday of all the days which . men celebrate in joy and gladness. But there is one notable Christmas ! day other than the first great one which every American boy old enough to have passed into the grammar ' grades can recall, as the date of an J historic fact destined to cast long J shadows into the future. It is safe to J say that even the most forgetful of " their fathers, those to whom dates and 1 events are antipathetic, can also recall ' a popular steel engraving of a picture j illustrating the event, a picture so pop- s ular that there are many middle aged } men who have but one mental image of ' the Father of His Country and that one 4 based on the picture in which he 4 stands in martial pose in a small storm tossed boat under which is in- 4 scribed the legend, "Washington Cross- 4 ing the Delaware." J It is not so safe to say that those v same fathers could tell the year in which the Hessians, making merry the 5 holiday, were surprised and routed by | the Continentals. Some of them could, ; perhaps, calling to their aid the revo- , lutionary ballad: "On Christmas day in seventy-six Our ragged troops with bajonets fixed 1 Pnr Trunlnn marched awav. The Delaware see! The boats below! The light obscured by hail and snow! But no signs of dismay." Not a cheerful way in which to pass the holiday, even the commander who ordered the move admitted in a letter to his brother. Before it took place he wrote to this brother of his intention: "Christmas day at night, one hour before day, is the time fixed upon for our attempt on Trenton. For heaven's sake keep this to yourself, as the discovery may prove fatal to us. I have ordered our men to be provided with three days provisions ready cooked, with which and their blankets they are to march." After it was over he wrote: "The evening of the 25th I ordered the troops to parade back of McKinley's ferry, that they might pass as soon as it grew dark. But the quantity of ice made that night impeded the passage of the boats so much that it was near four hours before the troops took up their line of march. . . . "I ordered them to push directly into the town, that they might meet the enemy before they had time to form. The number that submitted was 23 I officers and 886 men. ... i "In justice to the officers and men 1 a must add that their behavior reflected t the highest honor upon them. The dif- c Acuity of passing the river in a very severe night and their march through 8 a violent storm of snow and hail did 1 not in the least abate their ardor, but t when they came to the charge they ' seemed to vie with each other in press- c ing forward." 1 Nine hundred prisoners make a very t good Christmas present for Aghting t men, even though not delivered until s the day after. This Christmas day. of s 1776 was brightened by the victory. 1 That of 1777 was not warmed by the t ardor inspired by success. Seventy-seven was the dreadful win- 1 ter at Valley Forge during which the r courage and endurance of all the pa- \ triots were tried to the utmost and a when Christmas brought no such tri- t umph as that of Trenton, when many r of the men were unable to stir on ac- ? count of hunger, when the commander- f in-chief reported to congress that "2,- e 898 men are now in camp unAt for duty b because they are barefooted and other- _ wise naked. Numbers have been obliged to sit up all night by Ares on account of having no blankets. It is a much easier thing to And fault with the army in a comfortable room by a| good Areside than to occupy a cold, j bleak hill and sleep under frost and snow. kv... om-on ffnva thprp has been lit- I tie less than a famine in camp. A part) of the army has been a week without I any kind of ilesh, and the rest three! or four days. Naked and starving as they are. we cannot enough admire the incomparable patience and fidelity of the soldiery." War seems more of what Sherman said it was when it takes from men their brightest holiday and dooms them to such suffering. Those at Valley Forge were not the only ones who denied themselv <* the simple, natural joys that this nation might be born. The first Christmas passed by the Pilgrims in the New World the men went on shore to fell timber, some to saw, some to carry. So that no man rested all that day, but all helped in starting the house which was to be the community home. The mothers, some of whom from the years spent in Loyden had retained a love for the festive occosion, were determined that the children should not be entirely robbed of their Christ mas joy. Though a few objected Elder Brewster consented that they should j have a celebration. Wreaths of ivy and holly which they had brought in a ' barrel from England were hung about' the cabin of the Mayflower. There is a story current that Massasoit, chief of the Wampanoags, having been told what the day meant to the strange white people, brought on board two squaws and six little boys and girls gayly bedecked in paint and feathers, wrapped in scarlet blankets and with rabbit skin caps on their heads. To these visitors were given tin pails holding fried cakes, raisins and a horn and a drum, for which in turn they gave baskets containing beech and hickory nuts and wintergreen berries. When the sturdy home builders returned from their work they were served a dinner from which not even the customary plum pudding was missing, some thoughtful pilgrim mother having provided hers Mi with that necessary delicacy while laying in the other supplies for the dreary voyage. The thought of that plum pudding humanizes those stern people of the past and makes them almost lovable in a way that no sermon on their rather strenuous virtue s can do. Columbus and his men passed what was the very first Christmas in the new world in quite as arduous, though less happy and hopeful labor as the Pilgrim Fathers. AH that day they labored vainly in an effort to save the llagship. the Santa Muria, which had been beached the night before. Finding their efforts futile they took what they could from the vessel, carrying it on board the Nina. In this work they were helped by the friendly Indians, headed by Cacique. As the Nina was too small to carry all those who had been on board the larger ship, some were left behind in a fort that in honor of the season was called La Navidad, the Nativity. Before this Columbus had anchored in a harbor of Hayti, to which he gave the name of a saint whose day falls on December 6, and who in the minds of the children is inseparably connected with Christmas day?Saint Nicholas. A ?wl Vtarhnr oti iho WPCt nf Havti still bears the name of the Christmas saint. The Indians with whom the Pilgrims and Spaniards shared their Christmas day were friendly. Those whom Zachary Taylor then colonel, later general and president, met in the Everglades of southern Florida and defeated in a hard fought battle at Okeechobee on December 25 in isr?" were quite the reverse. Even after the defeat these Seminolcs remained defiant, resisting the attempt to remove them from Flor ida to land west of the Mississippi. Col. Taylor had his Christmas victory, nevertheless, though it is often forgotten in the greater glory of his Mexican campaign. The cabinet meeting held on Christmas day in 18C1 was a momentous one. It was then decided by President Lincoln and his advisers that it would be wise to accede to England's demand that Mason and Slidell be released. Seven years later, President Johnson made December 25 a veritable day of peace by issuing a proclamation granting full pardon to all who had taken part in the War of the Rebellion. Two great conquerors of the olden times tasted the sweets of success on Christmas day. Charlemagne, having Christianized the Saxons by thirtytwo years of fierce and passionate warfare, was crowned emperor of the Romans in the Holy City itself, by Pope Leo III. on Christmas day in the year sou. In 1066 on the same festival day William the Conqueror was .crowned king of England at "Westminster. A number of his soldiers mistaking the :cries of jubilation set up by the conluerer fell upon them and slew them, making the day run with blood. Two years later at the same season th? Saxon queller matured the plan by ivhich 100,000 men, women and children were ruthlessly destroyed and the sweep of country between the cities of York and Durham left desoate as though no human being had ;ver lived there. The first "Still Christmas" was not that proclaimed by the long parliament. It was that of 1525. because the ting, Henry VIII., who had not then 'orfeited the love of his people, was ill. \11 the usual sig/is of merriment?the music, the mumming, the masking and he bell ringing?were abandoned to show the sympathy of the subjects for heir sovereign. The silent Christmas )roclaimed by an ordinance of the long i tarliament when the Puritans were in | >ower was ordered for a different reaion. The gayety of the Stuart court ,vas displeasing to the reformers. Many innocent customs shared the ensure with those which were really evil. In 1644 an ordinance was passed de reeing that Christmas day should be )bserved ak a fast instead of a festival and that the workaday world ihould not cease from its labors. Preaching in churches was proicribed, the hanging of Christmas greens prohibited, the bakers warned o discontinue the practice of baking fule bread and farm laborers ordered to yoke their ploughs. Instead of the chimes which had formerly welcomed Christmas from every church tower the crier passed tlong the silent streets of the town, inging a harsh tone bell and proclaiming in a monotone, "No Christmas! No Christmas!" The people received what they retarded as an infringement of their ancient rights with sullen disapproval, md in not a few instances riots occurred. No public act of the time, Macaulay >ays, seems to have irritated the common people more. They refused to retard romping under the mistletoe, eatng boar's head and drinking ale flawltV* onnlft aa irroat no t innnl I sins. The joy with which the restor- | ition of Charles was received was due to doubt to the uncompromising strict- | tess of the extreme Puritans.

AA ??* AA ??+ +?? AA ??* *99 AA ?9+ 499 AA ??+ THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER IS ONE OP THE MOST COMPLETE AND SATISFACTORY FAMILY NEWSPAPERS IN THE SOUTH. It Is clean, reliable, high-toned and Instructive. It should be in every York County home, and is well worthy of a place In every home in the State. It has a record of more than half a century behind it, and Its publishers are constantly seeking to make it more useful to its patrons. In order to extend that usefulness it Is necessary to get more subscribers, and to make it worth the while of Clubmakers we are offering a liberal line of valuable premiums. OUR PROPOSITIONS. To the Clubmaker who returns and pays for the largest number of names before SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 1911, at ? o'clock p. m., we will give One Quarter leather Top Rock Hill Buggy (Carolina Grade), valued at Ninety Dollars. To the Clubmaker who returns the second largest clnb under the same conditions by the date mentioned, we will give a Two Horse Piedmont Wagon, valued at $67.60. The contests for these two premiums Is open to all comers, regardless of place or residence. In addition to these two leading premiums, however, we will award Sixteen High Grade Sewing Machines, of two styles, one retailing at $40 and the other retailing at $30, two Machines to go to each township, excepting to the townships in which the Buggy and Wagon may be awarded. After the Buggy and Wagon have been awarded, the Sewing Machines will be awarded in the remaining townships to the Clubmakers making the largest and second largest clubs, and the awards will be made regardless of the number of names in the two leading clubs. That Is if the Buggy or Wagon goes to one township Clubmaker for a hundred names, more or less, and the second largest Clubmaker in that township has only two names, he or she will be entitled to a Sewing Machine. In each township where neither the Buggy nor Wagon shall be awarded, there will be awards of two Sewing Machines made to the Clubmakers having the largest and second largest clubs. PREMIUMS. All of our readers know what the Rock Hill Buggy Is. They have been running throughout this section for years, and they have never been known to fail to give satisfaction. The buggy we are offering has been purchased from Messrs, Carroll Bros., of Yorkville. the Local Agents, and Is subject to all of the guarantees of the Rock Hill Buggy Company. The Wagon Is of the well known and time tested Piedmont make, and may also be seen at the store of Messrs. Carroll Bros. It has 3-lnch skein and 2-inch tires and is guaranteed for a year as to material and workmanship. Messrs. Carroll Bros, stand by the guarantee. The price $67.60. The best grade Sewing Machine offered, has high arm, drop head, hand lift, five drawers and is ball bearing. The retail price ranges as high as $40.00 and It seldom sells for less. The second grade Sewing Machine Is almost as good. It Is also of the drop head description, has five drawers and Is practically the same as the other with the exception that It Is not fitted with ball bearings. WHAT A CLUB IS Two or more names returned by a single Clubmaker will be regarded as a Club, and whoever desires to enter the contest will not only be regarded as a Clubmaker, but is assured that whether he or she Is successful In carrying off one of the competitive premiums will receive full compensation for all the work that will be Involved. The price of a single subscription is $2.00 a year or $1.00 for six months. In Clubs the price for six months remains the same, but for a year it is only $1.76. OTHER PREMIUMS.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS THE CONTEST BEGINS NOW and will come to a close on SATURDAY. MARCH 18, at 6 o'clock p. in., sharp. Each Clubmaker will be held individually responsible for the payment of the amount due on all names returned by him or her. Where It Is desired to stop a subscription before the close of the Club contest, the Clubmaker may do so by paying the amount due at the time of such stoppage. Where a subscription has been paid in full, It cannot be discontinued. The Clubmaker, however, may, if he sees proper, transfer the unfulfilled portion of the subscription to another subscriber, provided the person to whom the transfer is to be made was not a subscriber at the time the original name was entered on our books. No name will lie counted in competition for a premium until the subscription price has been i>ald, nor will any premium be delivered until tho UIUDmaKer nas eitner paiu or nmue sausidL-iui-y stiucuicm 1UI an me iiainea on the Club. In cases of contention by two or more Clubmakers over the right to a name, preference will be given to the one who pays for the name FIRST; but where both pay, we shall not attempt to decide the matter except by crediting the name for one year for each such payment. After a name has been entered on our books, no transfer will Ik* permitted. This Is positive and emphatic, and where Clubmakers attempt to make such transfers, they must concede our right to take such steps as may seem necessary to protect the fairness of this provision. The Clubmaker who returns names must pay for them. Clubmakers who try to return and pay for names already regularly returned by others will be called down, especially if there is evidence of an understanding between the Clubmakers. This is not for the protection of the publishers; but as a guarantee of the fairness of the competition. Any and all Clubmakers will have the right to Get Subscribers Wherever Tliey Can. It Is not necessary that all the names shall go to the same address. The fact that a name was returned on a certain club last year does not give that Clubmaker a right to return It this year. All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them, and we will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when It is sent by Draft, Registered Letter, Express or Postofflce Money Order. In sending the names, Always give correct names or initials, and present postoflice address, and if possible say whether the subscribers are NOW taking the paper. Careful observance of this will be the means of avoiding much trouble and confusion. In case of a tie for either the Buggy or Township Sewing Machine Pre- * miums, TWO WEEKS will be allowed for the working off of the tie. AffAr th? finsA of the contest on SATURDAY. MARCH i? at A n m the price of a year's subscription will be $2.00, unless New Clubs are formed. =L. M. GRIST'S SONS, PublishersYorkville, South Carolina
