THE BUTLER BOOM,

Old man Richmond, the magnetic doctor,
ran butler campaign nearly all day Tues
day at the corner of Main street and Doug
las avenue. He discussed the greenback and
tariff issues to large crowd, and produced
a good deal of sport for the boys. Occasion
ally he was met by some ardent, old-time
Democrat or Republican, and then the dis
cussion waxed warm and increased the
crowd of listeners until the police had to
drive them away to clear the sidewalk. The
position at some other point and fired away
| as usual.
NEW ENTERPRISE.
Mr.. +. B. Butcher has started a new en-
terprise for our city, in building on North
Main street, nearly opposite the Occidental
hotel.
He adyertises for and purposes handling
rags, paper, iron, copper and brass, and will
take and pay reasonable price for all the
articles above named that can be brought to
him.
A visit to the place of business OF Mr..
Butcher revealed stacks of rags and paper,
and an army of boys and girls arriving
every few moments with fresh installments.
Each little one came staggering under huge
SEEK well uleu Will tuc WIS
to give them some spending money, and
each face was lit up with excitement and ex-
pectation as they dropped their burden onto
the scales. They could scarcely wait until
they were told how much money they were
to receive, and when the little fortune was
placed into their hands, they scooted out fro
more rags. This is good enterprise for
several reasons; there are old rags and paper
in every home, old scrap iron, brass or cop
per in almost every yard, especially where,
as heretofore in this city, there has been no
market for these article.
This movement will clear these articles
from the places named, making them neater
and cleaner, and will, besides, convert what
has been useless articles, into money, and
will, last but not least, create an opportuni-
ty for children TO make money. Mr.. Butcher
pays the usual price for these articles. 1t is
small, to be sure, but it is something, and
judging from his present business he will be
the means of cleaning and keeping clean
the homes of the city from the articles in
which he deals.

The Universal Christmas Fcast,

It would have been n wild prediction
of the optimist three centuries ago
that the time would ever come when on
n day in the year everybody in Chris
tendon would have a good dinner.
And yet 1t is almost. realized. The gos-
pei of humanity has almost reached The
point. 1t is perhaps n wasteful and ex-
-cessive mode of showing our humanity,
but there is this good about 1t, hat tho
feasibility of accomplishing it on one
day will suggest tho possibility of max
lug at least decent dinners more com.
mon to people generally, and that
when a man has once tasted the pleas.
ure.of q prodigal meal, he may be in
duced to some personal cxcrtion of in.
dustry and thrift to procure himself the
pleasure again.
We know by statistics that there is
food enough to satisfy everybody if it
were properly distributed, and the les
SOL that 1t can be distributed one day
is a most important one. The danger
OF course is that it is human nature to
depend upon charity when once charity
is accepted, and SO to lose the one price
less thing to any man, which is indie
pendence. But tho beauty of Christmas
is in its recognition of common hu.
manity and common dependence on
something beyond humanity, and the
charity of it is not a c~ondescension
that can puff anybody up or hurt any
mans pride, but a diffused good feeling,
and a drawing together in u common
fete Of all sorts and conditions of men.
Here in the United States it is literal
~ of all sorts and colors, q comming-
ling of people under one privilege ab-
solutely unparalleled. And to enjoy
the Christmas of humanity we are not
required to eat the Same sort of dinner,
any nor than we are required to have
the same sort of creed. The plantation
negro with 'possum fat and coon
Drown cracklin,' wild graby-go way
dar chile! } is just as much alive to the
odor of the anniversary as the English
denizen with his Evolutionary roast
beef and plum-pudding. We have
learned by the hard discipline of a new
country that we can make a very thank
f,ll meal for the day out of wild turkey
and canvas-back ducks, fanked by q
green goose, with appropriate accom-
paniments. People can get used to
anything if they only have the right
spirit.
Indeed, it has been said that it is not
so much what we eat on Christmas day
as what we give away that raises our
spirits; but this is to be understood
within limits, for it cannot. be denied
that there is such a thing as universal
hunger On Christmas day that will not
be a1layed any more in the case of a
rich man than a poor nan by the re-
membrance of a good deed warmed
over. But the best sauce to a good
dinner is the thought that nobody else
within reach is hungry. And better
~ than the dinner Of the day is the
universal spirit of goodwill that broad
n gear by year, and deepens. we are
sure. The Drawer has not intended to
make a homily by way of accompani-
ment to anybody's repast, and is satis-
lied if it can send a light ripple of
laughter round the world-Chdrles

CHAPTER II,

There were ~ire-places in every room
on the ground floor of Grandfather
Vrooman's house and some kind of
stove in more than half the rooms up-
stairs.
There were blazing fires on every
hearth downstairs, and Liph got hold
of Bijah after q while and made him
and Bush 60 around with him to help
poke them up. Bijah had never seer q
fireplace before, and it was a great
wonder to him, but Bush sat down il
front of each fire and barked at it.
1t was getting dark when they reach
ed the great front parlor, and the fire.
place there was wonderful.
"Woof, wool, woof," barked Bush.
Bijah stood still in the door while
Liph went near enough to give that fire
q poke, and he could hear Grandfather
Vrooman away back in the sitting
room:
"Now, my dear, we'll stick him away
somewhere. Put him in one of the
stockings, and hang him up"
That's me-" groaned Bijah. He's
going to make a present of me to some
body. Oh, dear! l wish l could run
away
But he could not, for there was Liph
and there was Bush, and it was getting
dark.
Nov, my dear" went on grand
father, I'm just light up, and then I'll
go and meet that train. I'll bring Prue
and her folks. and Pat IL meet the
other, and bring Ellen and hers. Won't
the old home be full this time?"
"He's caughtsome nor somewhere"
whispered Bijah to himself. II Won
der who'll get emp Who'll get mep'
That was an awful question, but Liph
and Bush all but ran against him Just
then, and he heard grandmother say:
you'll have to stick candles on the
window-sills. I can't spare any lamps
for upstairs"
"But, my dear, it's got to be lit up
every o of it, want 'em to know
Christmas is going
"That's what they were all saying at
the 'sylum this morning." thought BIZ
jah, land here l am, right where it's
coming to-"
So he was, and he and Liph and Bush
watched them finish setting the supper
table, till suddenly Bush gave a great
bark and sprang away toward the front
door. Grandfather, Vrooman had hard
~ been gone from the house an hour,
and here he was, back again.
Jingle, jingle, jingle. How the sleigh
bells did dance as that great load of
young folk came down the road, and
what a racket they made at the gate,
. and how Bush and Liph, and grand
mother, and the rest did help them!.
Hes caught 'em ALL" said Bijah,
''but they amt scared a Bit"
No one would have thought so ifthey
had seen Mrs. Prue Hopkins and her
husband aud her six children follow
Grandfather Vrooman into the house.
They were hardly there, and some of
them had their things on yet, when
/. there came another jingle, and ever SO
much talking and laughter down the
other road
"He's caught some more. Some are
little and ONE are big. wonder who'll
get the babyr'
Bush was making himselfhoarse, and
had to be spoken to by MI. Hardy,
while Mrs. Simpson tried to unmix her
children from the Hopkinses long
