INTERESTING ESTING XMAS TREE
Mani' citizens of :_Winchamhad the
pleasure of seeing the wonderful Christ-
mas tree at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F.
FL Roderus duringlthe past week. The i
large tree was loaded with hundreds of
little; wooden and ` candy toys. Scene of
which ate praabably one hundred year
old, being in the possesion,of Mr,, Roder
us for almost fifty years And prior to that
they were owned by ,his father. Several
of the , little toys, were •carved by Mr.
Roderus. Among the articles -noticed on
the tree were: Candy ' alphabet, wind-
mill, Santa; fancy basket, airplane, little,
wooden shoes, bottles, dog and dog' ken
neli, ducks and birds, angel, tiny clay
pipes, wooden skeletons,'' snake, jumping
jacics, fishes, fancy bead decorations;, art-
ificial fruit, `lemons; grapes, apples and
vegetables. ' The tree was ,lighted with
thirty or more candles and presented a
very pretty appearance, but the tree wa
not, all for'underneath'the tree is a vert
able hive of industry, also the handiwork
of Mr. Roderus
One of the places'. represents Win d
and here we find a station and ,train
with detachable engines and 'a real turn
table and railway - track and ties. A
Winter Woes
Of alt the'ills with which I'm cursed
the winter furnace is the worst. On
balmy days it rolls up heat, but balks on
rs days of cold and sleet. And ever when
nay Wife co,`npl;,ins 1 do nil take sufficient
pains nor use `my substitute for brains,
once more the furnace 'mouth:I stoke
once more the iron bar '1 poke among '
the cinders, ash` and coke. I bend my
frame at its equator aril operate the
agitator, I get the ash 'tis very true
but half the flee comes following through.
Then when my strength is quite ' expend-
ed i' . find the grate is. end -for envied.
There's nothing in the world to do'but
clean it out and start anew. In vain my
weary eyes I raise no snappy kindling
'meets my gaze. Jim Jones from whom I
s ordered wood bas'failed; to function as
t. he should. That, cussed furnace; is the
, reason I so lament the vanished season
when every gent had B. V. D's on, when;
summer birdies lilts and folks could ;,leep!,
s without the quilts,
mirror takes the place of a pond of ,:water
and across this is built a :rounded bridge::
On the bridge a man is sitting fishing,
s
and unlike some of its he has caught a
fish Which is swinging on his hook. On
the; pond are several ducks and, geese.
Along the streets are wires strung from
poles representing -telephone and electric
light wires; and coming down the street
are the union busses also a regiment of.
Canadian red jackets. The buildings, are
St. Paul's church, the town hall, the l3anlc
of Hamilton, Rodent's' a hoe' atore, and
next to it Jas. McKelvie's restaurant, just
as it used to be years ago, the Orange
Hall, and several others the Canadian
Forester's Hall. These b'ildings, are
made°of red and white card board „and
some_of them are fairly good models of
the present day ;architecture "of these.
places of business. Trees carved from
cedar and painted in'green °decorated' the
streets. ' The trains go through' a tupnel
into what is "evidentlysupposed to " repre-
sent . another citq"' On a mount' a i az,
People are contentedly strolling about on
this mountain and. in a park ar'e., to be
found horses, cats, dogs, a cannon ,and
rna'nyother things.
The workof,putting in place this Xmas
tree would tire the patience of any -]erson,
.t.
b t
u when the number of small :toys: which
Mr. Roderus made are•considered, it all
the more m to wonderful because of his being
seventy-five -f7
ve
years -of
age. Many
of our'
readers Haveprobably paid to see the.
village at the midway. of Toronto fair this
year,
r, well, this s effort of Mr.Roderus-,sur-
passes
it,' The old gentleman .derived
a
great deal of pleasure in showing the tree
and explaining it to visitors, but first, of
all his efforts were concentrated for the'
amusement of his grandchildren who were
visiting their' grandparents, and. needle s
to aa31 it would tbring back many happy
recollections of childhood to the other
members of the Roderus family, for this
same'Christrnas tree was an annual event
when they were small.
Long niay: Mr. and Mrs. Roderus he
spared to enjoy good hen th.
