Large Whisky Expectations.

There has been remarkable activity in
the expectation of whisky from the
United States during the past four
months, the quantity exported being
100000 gallons. For the year ending
June 30, last, the amount exported was
100000 gallons, which is double that
exported during the preceding fiscal
year. Should the present activity in
the export trade be maintained, the
quantity of whisky which will be ex-
ported during the present fiscal year
will reach at least 100000 gallons.
The total production for the last four
months has been over 100000 gal
Ions, against 100000 gallons for the
corresponding period of last year.

HarrV H Rtl'S Christmas.


1t was the might before Christmas.
and little Harry Hall, as he sat eating
his coarse bread and milk, looked up
into his mothers care-worn face and
said:
Mother, shall get any presents to-
morrow, do you think?"
Mrs. Hall wasa widow, whose husband
had been dead several years, and who,
dying, had left her nothing but the little
house LA which, he lived, and it was only
by the greatest self-denial and hard work
that sac managed to make living for
herself and child. And such q living as
1t was! The ba9est necessities of life
sufficient clothing to keep them from
freezing, and the plainest, coarsest food.
wheat bread being rare luxury. And
yet, such as it was, the widow wos thank
full. She placed all her trust in Him
who "heareth the sparrows when they
cry" and she never doubted but that
IN Ills own good time all WOULD be well,
and In answer to Harry's question she
asked:
=" How old are you, my son."
harry, pushing aside his now-empty
bowl, and drawing his thin, meager
little figure to it's utmost height, said,
proudly:
Why, mamma, was eight last Mon
day. See! [ am almost a. man"
The widow smiled att his boyish
eagerness to be man, and, calling him
to her, she put her arm arogsnd him, and,
droxy yI7,Cr h oc1 Lo,, o1
Yes, my dear, you ane quite man,
and mother is sorry that she can not get
you any presents this year, but I have
been too poor to buy you anything.
But, tomorrow, you shall carry this
sewing home to Mrs. Bell, and you cam
have half the money to buy what YOU
wish. [ tried hard to get it done so
that [ might get you something; bus I
can not finish it before the shops are
closed"
For answer the boy threw his arms
about his mothers neck, and kissed her
again and again, saying:
"Oh, mother, how kind and good you
are" @H
And then he sat down to think Of what
he should buy. He sat thus for some
time, until at last he said:
care you sure she will pay you to-
morrow, mammal"
Yes, my DEAR" answered Mrs. Hall
Il think she will; she has always pai6
me very promptly for my work, and she
promised to pay me for this as soon as
finished it. But it is almost bedtime
my son, and you must read your chapte
and go to bed"
They did not burn late fires at til,
Widow Halls; fuel was too dear to b.
unnecessarily wasted, although many
night, after her little son was asleep, sh
would sit and sew until the gray dawl
of the morning, and that, too, without
fire at which to warm her cold, benumbe,

THIS is the way they do it in Texas
John Greer and his uncle, Wynne
Greer, met at Patterson and proceeded
to settle an old difficulty in this way !:
John Greer drew six-shooter, and his
uncle, being unarmed, fled around the
store. Seeing Lewis Cooper, constable
of the precinct, he wrenched the officers
pistol away from him and returned
around the building. He and his
nephew then met, and the latter again
drew his shooter, and, getting the drop
on his uncle, fired, the ball piercing the
brain and Instantly killing him. After
he fell the nephew fired two shots into
the dead body. STOPPING down, the
young murderer took the pistol out of the
hand of the corpse, and, seeing it belonged
to Constable Cooper, ran after him and
fired on him twice, mortally woundine
him. The murderer then went into the
railroad depot, put the pistol to the
head of the agent, and ordered him t.
give him SO to aid in his escape. The
agent did so, when the assassin mounted
his horse and made good his escape
Cooper and Greer were both goot
citizens, and the murderer loy
scoundrel and cattle thief, who tw
years ago shot a citizen of Houston.

APOLLO STRIKES THE LYRE

-3HG Goes for the Musical Critic of The

To the Editor Of the Globe.
The Harmonic society of Minneapolis
rendered the opera of "Der Frelschutz'' at
the Athen@um last Monday evening, and
the musical critic in Tuesday mornings
issue of the GLOBE spread himself in
sever criticism which proved to be as un-
just as it was uncalled for. While we ad-
nit that it was an ambitious undertaking
for this society of amateurs to undertake
the opera of "Der Freischutz," we believe in
giving them credit for what they did. The
opera was not only given
in it's entirety, but the manner in
which it was produced was exceedingly
creditable for an amateur society. He says
''the overture in parts was totally incompre-
hensible." In all probability it appeared SO
to him, classical music always does, to those
who know nothing about it, and when he re-
fers to the instruments being anything but
Harmonious was probably in the long in
cantation scene, where the harmony is about
as weird as any that was ever written, and in
all probability the critic did not know
that the music was written so
for a purpose, but supposed
the orchestra was playing out of tune. If
the music of the opera was completely be-
You'd the capacity of both singers and
orchestral the distance between the music
and the capacity of the critic beats it several
miles. His remarks upon the chorus and
solo singers were equally unjust. ......
The truth of the matter is, that the princi-
pal defects escaped him, from lack of knowl-
edge of the opera, and because it was Min
neapolis organization he must pick it to
pieces on general principles. We like to
a fair and truthful criticism, but such a
wholesale slaughter as this was, is not only
unjust, but displays the weakness Ct the
critic. ". APOLLO.
