Doss Net Take Eway Our Christmas Treo STATE CONSERVATION COMMIS- SION CONTEMPLATES PRESENT USE AND SO TELLS SANTA CLAUSE, Albany, Dec. 23.-Santa Claus mide & preliminary trip to Albany last week on an unusual errand. The dear old man, who, despite his many porplexitics and responsibilitics, habit, ually beams with smiles, actually wore a worried look on this occasion. \To the Conservation Commission he couflded his troubles. 'The rumor had come to his cars at his head- quarters, far utp underneath the are of the awurote borealis, that this new \conservation movernent\ contem- plated stopping tho use of evergreens | for Christmas trees! With trembling lips, this great and good friend of the children, assured the ofllclals, whose avowed purpose is to plant at least one tree for every one cut down, that he and his rein- doers loved the fragrant and beauti- ful pines, and deplored the destruc- tlon and waste which had left noth- ing but a memory of the balsams, gosoph Pnlm died this Priday morn- | spruces and hemlocks in many regions and that he heartily approved of re- forestation-«but, think of a Christ- mas without Christmas trees! At the very thought, tears trickled from Santa's oyes, But they again shone with their wonted light re- flected from the pleasure imparted to others, when the good old man's at- tention was directed to one of the maxims of the Conservation Commis- gslon: \To Correct Waste and Perfect Prosont Utilization of Natural Re-| sources,\ And again: \More Forests and Trees for the People to Enjoy.\ Assured further more definitely that that muant more Christmas trees than over at a lower cost than now, a tree for overy family in the state, Santa danced the Iceland fling, prancing out with an agility that put his reindeers to shame,. Cheer up, children, and you grown» ups who lovo the beauty, grace and hallowed associations of the gift-laden Christmas treet 'True conservation does not confine Its activities to cor- reating past waste and assuring ac- cumulation for the future in natural resources; but looks to present use as woll, In fact, if It could not bring wbhout for the present a wider and greater use of the renewable resources like the trees, the fish and the game, conservation would be an Idle jest.

STATE AUTHORITIES TO EX- FORCE VACCINATION IN SEV. ERAL NEARBY COUNTIES. ALBANY, N. Y., On account of the steady increase of small-pox in West- ern and southern New York, state commissioner of health Porter today began a special campaign to eradicate the disease and bring the attention of the residents of the infected territory to the necessity of vaccination. Urgent appeals have been sent to the physicians in small pox territory urging their co-operation in the ef- {crts of the department to stay the progress of the spread of small-pox. While the situation at present is not alarming it was reported Porter said today it will be so soon unless condi- tions are materially improved by strict quarantine, general vaccination and efficient disinfection. \One section of the state seriously infected with this disease is compris- ed of Cortland, Tompkins, Chenango and Broome counties, while a more serious situation prevails in Catta- raugus, Wyoming, Allegany and Erie counties. \While in only a few instances the disease is severe, its prevalence is ex- tensive and apparently steadily in- creasing in spite of efforts thus far employed, \If every person who has not been successfully vaccinated during the past seven years submits to this simple and safe process small-pox will dis- appear throughout the state within thirty days,\ Stele Bullion PEKIN, Dec. 23.-An imperial con- vey will be attacked by brigands near Kelrin today and looted of $9,000,000 in bullion.

DUNKIRK, N. Y., Dec. 22.-Sher- iff John P. Hall this afternoon deliv- ered an ultimatum to the striking boiler-makers. It was in effect that either they must co-operate effectively with the police to preserve law and order; or he would apply to the gov- ernor for a company of militia. A mass mecting of the strikers was held to consider the decxswn of the sheriff. The outcome was that 25 of the strikers will act as snecial nfinars Famous People Named Christmas ng Christmas is an old fashioned Eng- lish family name, especially in Surrey and Cambridgeshire, and many people bearing it have achieved fame in ong direction or another, For instance, there was Gerard Christmas, the famous carver of stat- vary, who flourished in the early part of the seventeenth century. He de- signed Aldersgate and carved with his own hands the richly ornamented por- tal of Northumberland House, a fa- miliar object to the older generstion of living Londoners. His chief energies, however, wera directed - toward - ornamenting ' snd beautifying the ships of the royal na- vy, and the highly decorative style ha originated was continued right down to the middle of the last century, when iron superseded oak in the con- struction of battleships. At his death his two sons, John Christmas and Mathias Christmas, whom be had brought up to his art, succeeded him as official carvers to the lords of the admiralty and worthi- ly carried on the work he had so well begun. Every ome interested in coins and colnage is familiar with the name of Honry Christmas, the eminent numis- matist, who died in 1868. Besides being a fellow of the Royal society And of the Society of Antiquaries, be was for many years honorary secre- tary of the Numismatic society, to whose publications he - contributed largely. He also wrote and published a large number of religious and his- torical works. the Iron Hand\) was one of the most famous of the many English adven- turers who during the French revolu- tionérj' disturbances of 1791 fought on the losing side. Joining the Chouans or royalist in- surgents of Brittany, he soon made his mark and was intrusted with the conduct of a division by George Ca- doudal. their supreme commander. Later on, when Cadoudal, disgusted with the dissensions of his highborn generals, organized a new army in whicly no aristocrat was permitted to hold command, Christmas was forced to resign with the rest. He was, how- ever, reinstated on . his pointing out that he was not, as had all along been supposed, of noble lineage, but was, on the contrary, the son of a south of England peasant. Thence onward he acted as Cadow dal's adjutant general and did splendid service against the royalist forces until January, 1793, when he had the mil fortune to be taken priscner. He was shot at daybreak on the morning fol lowing his capture. Noel is, of course, only another form of the word Christmas, and of famous Noels, both living and dead, there is a lengthly list. It is, for instance, the family name of the earls of Gainsborough, whose history has been a dislinguished one for generations past. Noel-Hill, again, is the name of Bar on Berwick, a famous member of a fa- mous old English family. ''Then there is Ernest Noel, who bas done more to improve the housing of the working classes than has probably any other man living. Vice Admiral Sir Gerard Noel, who bas been commander in chief on the China station since 1903, has received many decorations, including the much coveted gold medal 6f the Royal Unit ed Service institution. Going farther back, there was that Henty Noel, the famous courtier of the reign of Queen Elizabeth and au- thor of the now familiar phrase \Mon- ey was ande to spend.\ His extrava- gance knew no bounds and very much displeased his royal mistress, herself one of the most extravagant of mon- Y archs. Of a very different type was Baptist Wriothesley Noel, the eminent non- conformist divine. He was at first ed- ucated for and inducted into the Church of England. But the result of the Gorham cease, which drove many high churchmen into the fold of Rome, sent Noel info the ranks of the Bap- tists. He publicly renounced on Dec. 8, 1848, his connection with the Estab- lished church and was a little later publicly rebaptized by immersion in John Street chapel, Holborn, a build- ing situated hard by the very church wherein he had ministered during long years prior to his \conversion.\ Thomas Noel, the poet, who died in 1861, ought to be well known by his \Paper's Drive,\ than which no poem has been more widely read, recited and quoted. The verses are, however, almost universally ascribed to Hood, even by people who ought to know better, and the real author's name remains in consequence buried in ob- livion. Another poet named Neel, who en- jJoyed considerable reputation in his day, was Roden Berkeley Noel, the author of \Behind the Veil,\ \Ben- trice,\ \The Red Flag\ and other poems. His collected works were pub- lished in 1832 among the series 'of, \Canterbury Poets.\ Roden Noel, who was well known in soclety and a groom of the privy chamber to Omen Victoria, died very suddenly at Maing on May 28, 1894.
