posed to the action of the low tax
committee in offering the olive
branch. to the state credit wing.
Burnett, Bransford, Eastman and
Henderson voted for it, and Beas
ley, Wallace and Sloan against it.
He said Henderson and Burnett
were opposed to it when they got
to Nashville, ''but underwent a re-
-markable change, perhaps attribu-
table to the wonderful popularity of
the atmosphere" He called them
traitors and said they had plunged
a dagger into the heart of the low
tax organization. We decline to
believe that these gentlemen were
bribed until Beasley produces the
proof Surely the serpent has not
crawled into the very camp of its
destroyer. Beasley's insinuation is
unjust. Mr.. Henderson is notori-

Army officers deprecato the excessive sympathy
shown for Mason, though they speak kindly of
him. Owing to the llberality of the public his
family stand in no immediate danger of suffer-
ing from what may be considered either the in
sane act indiscretion, or crime of the soldier. AS
non commissioned officer he can save from his
pay from $50 to s25 por month, and Captain Nc
Gilvray, who commanded his company, says he
understands Mason sent most of his savings
home. The allotment system does not prevail in
the army as In the navy, so that the soldier has
the complete disposal of his earnings.
Mason, as stated, however, sent his pay to his
wife, and IN this way was accustomed to con-
tribute to the support of Betty and the baby"
from $3.50 to $500 year. AS the contributions for
her support have already exceeded 81 900, and are
rapidly increasing in amount, Mrs. Mason has re-
ceived us much AS her husband could have given
her for the next three or four years. In the opin-
ion of army officers he will be pardoned long be-
fore that time, and meanwhile Will be treated
with sympathy and consideration at the peniten-
tiary, where his labors may not be much more
onerous or cOnhnng than that of n common SOL
dier, so that upon the whole Sergeant Mason and
his family may be said to have drawn one of the
prizes In the lottery of the assassination"- Wash

SANTA CLAUS.
How Cartons Accident Acted ON Chill

II is singular how little incident in a child's
life will sometimes destroy faith in time -h6nored
legend. Last winter at a small town In Nebraska
there was Christmas tree, and at the proper
moment according to the programme, Santa
Claus would appear and dish out the vulcanized
gum drops and elastic popcorn to the children.
Shortly previous to the entrance of Santa Claus,
however, the stealthy step Of man in the LOFT OF
the sohool.house was heard, and pretty soon
large foot jammed through the plastored ceiling
followed by the limb Of some party, whose name
looms was pulled up to q great height by the fore

convey the impression that he was Santa Claus !;
but Ms he slid further and further down through
the hole these things got pulled of, and he fell
with sickening thud on little boy with staw-
colored hair and no teeth In front.
If Santa Claus had slid down trap door over
the Christmas tree and III on step.ladder, ac-
oording to time card, II would have been all right;
hut, getting uneasy, il seems that he made mis-
step and went through different place: since
then the children OF that place are very skeptical
about Santa Claus, and do not believe much OF
anything. They are agnostics on the Christmas
question, and unbelieveTs on oil that had before
been like holy writ to them.
