Letter to Santa Claus.
Dear Santa Claus: —l am a little
boy 7 years old, and I go to school
every day. I love to go to school and
love my teacher. Now, Santa, I want
to tell what I would like to have for
Christmas. My uncle, Dr. Hair, in
the South, is going to send me an
Angorian “Billy” goat, and will you
please bring me a nice, big wagon
and a set of harness for him, a new
suit, a pair of high-top shoes for
school, and a new hat, and please
trim my tree nice and bring me lots
of candy, nuts and fruit. And, Dear
Santa, I have no father. My father
left me when I was an infant, but I
have a dear, good mother and grand
parents, and please do not forget
them, also all little children that have
no papa nor mama.
Your little friend,

neck, shoulders and arms, scalding
off the skin in a frightful manner.

tion of suitable illuminating signs for

upon Councilman Sullivan’s motion a
new ordinance, providing also for non
illuminated signs, was adopted.
West End Saloon Burglarized.
A saloon owned by Karl E. Schloss
stein at 188 West Union street, was
burglarized last Sunday night. The
person or persons who did the deed
gained entrance through a door by
breaking a Yale lock. They carried
away quite a large quantity of whiskey
in pint and quart bottles.
The same saloon was burglarized on
three other occasions, and suspicion
points strongly to several fellows who
are liable to be arrested at any time.
It is dangerous to steal, and whiskey
thieves are not, as a rule, very bright
fellows. The culprits in this case
will be gathered in sooner or later, as
is usually the case with thieves, and
then they’ll be sorry.
The last burglary at Mr. Schloss
steiti’s saloon was discovered by the
bar-keeper, Wm. Kerr, who went to
the place on Sunday evening to see
whether everything was in proper con
dition about the place. If he had vis
ited the place a little earlier he likely
would have found the thieves at their
work.

FATAL SHOOTING
ACCIDENT.
Thomas Burton Dillon Accidentally
Killed by a Companion.
Thomas Burton Dillon, 10-year-old
son of Charles Dillon, and grandson
of Col. and Mrs. Thomas, G. Dillon, all
of this place, was accidentally shot
and instantly killed about 3 o’clock
last Saturday afternoon, at Ocean.
Young Dillon was enjoying a few
days of the Thanksgiving period with
his uncle, Philip McMahon, agd fam
ily, and at the time named, with two
other boys, James Murphy and Roy
Robinson, was shooting at a target
with a cat-rifle. In some way the tar
get became displaced, and “Tommy”
walked forward to replace it, when
the gun, in young Murphy’s hands,
went off, the bullet entering “Tom
my’s” left side, under the shoulder,
and piercing his heart. Death was
instantaneous.
“Tommy” Dillon, as he was famil
iarly called, was widely known and a
favorite of many, especially of those
nearest who had seen him grow from
infancy into boyhood.
Eight years ago his mother, before
marriage Miss Mae Burton, died, and
since that time he has been the con
stant care and affectionate charge of
his grandparents, Col, and Mrs. T. G.
Dillon, who are sadly bereaved by the
terrible accident.
The funeral was held in St.
Michael’s Church at 9 o’clock Monday
morning.
The youthful playmate in whose
hands the gun was when it caused
the death of young Dillon, is greatly
distressed over the sad affair, and he,
too, is the object of much sympathy.
Successful Frostburg Huaters.
Williard Price and Lee Fresh on
Monday killed ten rabbits and four
pheasants while hunting on the east
slope of Dans Mountain.
Arthur Jenkins and son Benjamin
have also been doing some successful
hunting. They returned recently from
the vicinity of Flintstone, where they
succeeded in bagging 20 rabbits and
two partridges.
Former Frostburger Promoted.
The News, published at Boswell,
Pa., last week contained a compli
mentary and congratulatory item con
cerning Geo. Watson, who was born
and raised in Frostburg, but is now
in the employ of the Atlantic Coal
Co., in whose employ he was recently
promoted from Fire Boss to the posi
tion of Assistant Mine Foreman. Mr.
Watson has many friends here who
will learn of his promotion-with much
pleasure.
Who Knows Professor Buckey?
D. W. Snyder and T. F. McCardell,
of Cumberland, are seeking the names
and addresses of all persons who were
pupils or who were acquainted with
Prof. J. E. Buchey. Professor Buchey
taught i*n Cumberland, Frostburg and

fessor communicate with the two men
named immediately. The object is a
humane one and will be announced
shortly.

PLAGIARISM.
Only a Crime When One Filches From
the Commonplace.
Plagiarize all you please, provided
you steal from the right sources, for
the secret of individuality is familiar
ity with the masters. The great gen
iuses were meant to be objects of
plagiarism. To be plain, the more you
absorb of a first class mind the more
your own originality is fed. Plagia
rism is only a crime when it is a
theft of commonplaces from mediocre
sources.
Let the young musician soak full of
Beethoven, Wagner, Mozart and Men
delssohn. That is the surest way for
him to find himself. fPo absorb comic
opera music is the way to smother,
lose and kill himself.
Let the young preacher preach Bush
nell, Robertson and Brooks. So doing,
he will come to preaching himself.
As for writers, there is truth in the
advice given by a great man that the
best way to acquire a good style Is to
read Addison and exercise oneself in
endeavoring to rewrite him.
You cannot plagiarize the Bible, nor
Shakespeare, nor Homer, nor Dante,
nor Milton. These have ceased to be
men; they are humanity. You can
plagiarize Shaw, or Brete Harte, or the
last “best seller.”
To isolate oneself from the mas
ters is not the road to originality; it
is the road to vulgarity.
“Few English authors,” says Ham
merton, “studied past literature more
willingly than Shelley and Tennyson,
and none are more original.”—Frank
Crane in Woman's World.
Prehistoric Man In Belgium.
Prehistoric man has been traced in
several periods in Belgium, and M.
Putot, a Belgian geogogist, has made
a novel attempt to estimate the popu
lation at different stages. In the lower
Aurignacian period five of Belgium’s
numerous caves seem to have been in
habited, their capacity being fifty to
sixty persons. in the Magdalenean
period the population was probably
sixty. Retreat of the ice permitted
leaving the shelters at the close of
this period, and the settlers on the
banks of the lakes may soon have
numbered 100 or 150. The coming of
the Cervides forests perhaps developed
a population of 1,000, which may have
increased to 4,000 or 5,000 at the be
ginning of the polished stone age.—
New York Press.
Whist.
Whist undoubtedly Is derived from
the old game of trumps, which has a
purely English lineage. There is no
record of the origin of this game nor
of its development into ruff and hon
ors. which was the parent of whist.
The earliest reference to it is believed
to be in a sermon of Latimer about
the year 1529 The name probably is
derived from the "hist” or “silence”
which close attention to play demands
of the players.
The Manifestation,
“Papa,” said the young girl sweetly,
“I feel it in my bones that you are
fjoing to buy me a new hat,”
“Ah, do you?” chuckled papa. “In
which bone do you feel it?”
“Well. I’m not sure, but I think tt’
in my wishbone.”
In a Way.
“Are you acquainted with Mrs. Hifly,
your fashionable neighbor?”
“Only in a roundabout way. Her cat
boards at my house.”— Kansas City
Journal.
