Christmas Giving
At this sea.son tif the year the one groat thought that throbs in the heart- j)honoil your wife'.' of overy unselfish person is what can j Range'.' I give my friends to increase their hap- piness'f It is only a crabbed, sordid soul at thia crowning .summit of the year who asks what am I going to re¬ ceive. Children expect to receive and are happy in the thought, but rightly balanced ailults find their chief pleasure in giving.
This does not include that class of chronic misers who by long years of cultivateti stinginess have .strangled every generous impulse, antl who suffer BO at the idea of giving up anything that it is necessary to administer co¬ caine to get them in a tlonative state but it. means and refers to the over¬ whelming majority of t)ur people. Once in a while there is a poor wretch so stingy that he is constantly in pain. The mere .suggestion that he give up the value of a peanut throws him into a cramp colic. To save expen.se he may raise his family on wild goose ber¬ ries and hazel nuts until his children fievelop into physical, mental and moral dwarfs, but fortunately such instances in this broad autl generous nation are tolerably rare.

The neatest gal around Alway,s dressetl so spic aiid sjian
In silks she did abound They wasn't flashy fashions
Like most folks would expect But were just plain and ctjmmtm
Void of the least tlefect.
Her parents they had money
It wasn't no small sum, Went 'way up in six figures
And big ones too, by gum ! Mandy, she was very plain |
And had a pleasant way i
Always wore a cheerful look I
Had something nice to say. ]
Money didn't make her vain, !
It made her plain instead; 'Twas a pleasure to be plain.
She didn't lose her head. She's just the .sort o' creature
The world needs batl to-day. To make life worth while livin'
To cheer you on ita way.

I. Never to be a slave of tobacco, which is a not very remote jiossibility, to every smoker.

The recommendations caused con- siflerable argument, wherein it was stated that from time to time, antl at almtist every meeting of the Buard of Tratle recommendations were intrtitluc- ed, but that they died a natural death, so that ntithing was act-omplished. Freejiort is and has been growing at a great rate, and the time was rijie when the interest of every intliviilual tax¬ jiayer must be considereti. Actitin must be taken that will jirtive the most benefit-ial to the majority of the tax¬ payers, and the Board of Tratle was the jirtijier medium whereby any or every resident of Freejiort coukl ajijiear and make known their ideas of what was Jirojier antl right for the interest of the village at large, anti for the jiur¬ jiose of meeting this issue a substi¬ tute motion was made whereby the Presitient was authorizetl to ajijioinl a sjiecial committee of five to investi¬ gate every rocommentlatitin jiresontetl, ,select what tti their itlea was con¬ ducive to the most gotiti, antl to jiresent the same to the Btiard of Tratle at their meeting xiV January for its consitler¬ ation and atloption, after which they are to be jiresented to the Board of Village Trustees to be rectimmentlotl by them in their annual report antl iu the making up of thoir annual butlget, after which the members tif the Btiartl of Trade can be in a position to bring what Jiressure it can ujion the voters of the village for their .sujijiort at the next village election. President Foster apjiointed the folltiwing committee:
J. B. Cartwright, Julius Detmer, Thomas Burleigh, Henry L. Crantlell antl Mr. Fredericks.
After further routine business was conclutled, the Executive Committee submitted the following restilutitm as the sjiecial ortier of business for the evening:
Rt\solvetl, That it is the .sen.se of this Board that a regular police force of five men be estab)ishetl for the pro¬ tection of the village, and that the Board of Village Trustees be retjue.sted to insert in the next butlget an amtiunt sufficient to ctiver the necessary ex- Ii(*nses.
Resolvetl, That a comittee tif tifteeii be ajijiointed by the Chair to attend the next meeting of the Village Btiard of Trustees and present this resolution. When tirst pre.sentetl the re.solutitm tilled only for a force of four men, but ujion a recommendation, the num¬ bor was changed to five men .so as to allow for a force of four jiatrolmen, with one chief, who would be at all times at the jiolice headquartes where the services of a jmiIiceman coukl be set-ured at all hours.
Ex-Village Presitient, Julius Detmer, j statetl that last year the idea of .secur¬ ing a forct; of three jiatrolmen was fully con.sideretl and was tleemed ad¬ visable, but owing to the extremely large butlget calleil for, over $12,000, the largest in the history of Freejitirt, it WHS not doomed advisable at that time, but that he thought that the vil¬ lage had incrt-asetl so wuiitlerfully tlur¬ ing the (last year that it woultl Uo atlvisable to submiUhe jirojiosition to the tax-jiayers ft>V their t-onsitieratiun at the noxt annual election.
It was further stated that the adojition by this board rrl. various re- t-ommentlations antl the submission uf jirojiosititms to the voters in itself did not c-.imjilote the work of the Boartl of Trade, but that after the Village Boartl of Trustees hail favorably ac- ceedeil to the request tif the Board, it was the tluty of the members thereof to use their utmost eft'orts in securing the Jiassage of the jiropositions sub¬ mitted.
It scarcely .seemetl fair ty elecL-a Boanl of VUlage Trustees wilb a Vil¬ lage Presitient, anil exjiect lhem ti^ tlevote consitlerable of their timo in the welfare of the village withtiut com- jiensation. and then tie their hands by refusing to vote a sufficiently large aji¬ propriation ftir the maintainance of the village interests. The members of the Board of Trustees are men of active business life, who althtiugh well familiar with the requirements of their indivitlual business, are unac¬ quainted with electricity or steam; the running of a water or electric light
