THE KLINE CASE.
BURR,

Nothing definite has been received yet by Coro
ner Cock from Professor Morley regarding the
analysis Of the contents Of the stomach Of Simon
Kline, recently submitted TO him. In about
week thorough report as to the result OF his In
vestigstlons Is expected. Joe Kline protests his
innocence and says he has no fears Of the trial
because he is confident Of being acquitted. One
fact which was not developed at the inquest has
come to light. 1t is stated upon good authority
that before his fathers death young Kliue said to
several parties that he was afraid that the house.
keeper would poison his father and after Mr.,
Klines death he said to her. "well, you do all
the cooking" From this 1t seems thaths thought
the fact that his father has been poisoned might
possibly become known and thought to fix the
crime upon the housekeeper.

UNDER TIE CHRISTMAS SKY.
ny HELEN n. COOKE,

Out in the cold they hunger and shiver.
Dear little children with brave human hearts;
Where ia their God to save and dellveri
Where Is the comfort His pity impartsf
Wrapped in the 'olds OF warm winter clothing,
Dear little children with sweet, tender eyes,
Gaze for q moment then turn away loathing,
Under these wonderful, glad Christmas skesl
Under the burden Of sin, and Of sorrow,
Is there hand that ia hidden, and warmH
Is there sun that will rise on the morrsw,
over the clouds Of misfortune and stormf
Out from the mold will the daisies aud clover,
Into perfection OF color and grace,
Spring In their perfume, to glad the world over
Where Ia the bloom, then for each little facet

A MORTGAGED MAN.

Poor Garfield When in days gone by
You took to tOwpath riding
Well pleased thstyou were mounted high
A stately mule bestridlng,
Though then your coat had many hole,
There was no mortgage on your soul.
Then, free FROM all corrodlng care,
Your whiplash loudly cracking,
You never yielded to despair,
Nor sought imperial backing,
But ably played your little part,
Without mortage on your heart,
When you, In more ambitious days,
Became politician
You tried In several devious ways
To better your condition.
But small lnstallments fate would dole
For mortgages upon your soul,
A homestead mortgage makes US sad,
For everybody knows 1t,
And sOme one, when our luck Is bad,
WIN certainly foreclose 1t;
Worse Is the burden and the smart
OEany mortgage on the heart,
Poor Garfield You have risen high,
With your imperial backing;
But safer were the days gone by,
When cash alone was lacking.
Now, do the best or worst you can,
You are q sadly mortgaged man
