SANTA CLAUS AND THE MOI USE

One Christmas Eve, when Santa Claus
Came to a certain house,
To fill the children's stockings there,
He found little mouse.
"a merry Christmas, lhtle..friend,"
Said Santa, good and kind.
"The same te you, sir" said the mouse;
II thought you wouldt mind
"If should stay awake tonight
And watch you for awhile"
"You'!e very welcome, little mouse"
Said oAnta, uviSh smile.
And then ne filed the. stockings up
Bf;ire the mouse could wipk--
From toe to to, from top to toe,
There waGn't lett q chink.
"Now, they won't held another thing"
SAID Santa Claus, with pride.
A twinkle came in mous,'s eyes,
But hunSIy he replied
Its uct polite to contradict
Your pardon emplore-
Bu, in the fullest stocking there
coull put aad one ching more"
"Oh ho" laughed SANTA, SILLY mouse
Don't | know how to pack?
Hy filling stockings ell these years,
should have learned the knrck."
AnG then he took ihe stocking down,
From wher" il hung SO high,
And said: Now pa, in one thing more;
give you leave to try"
The mouse chucklod 10 himself,
And thtn he softly stole
Right to the stockings crowcd too
And gnawed little hole
"Nov, If you phase good Santa Clause,
I've put in ono thing more:
For you Aill owa that Little hole
Was not in there before"
How Santa Claus did laugh and laugh!
And then he sayiy spoke:
"WcIl you shall nave Christmas cheese
For that nice little joker

A CHRISTMAS SKETCH.

Crash bang jingle jingle
The noise aroused the whole house
hold, the members thereof rushing e1-
citcdly into the room to find Sadie
pale and frightened, standing in tht
midst of a demolished chair, trsyments
Of carthen Aower-pcts and broker
glass, nervous'y smoothing out hel
dress.
"Well, I do declare - ejacu.a'ed

gized Sadie, humbly.
"Oh, no. answered Aunt Matilda
curtly, holding a crushed fnchsia ten
derly in her hand "chilIren never

tinued with EMPHASIS "Ihe flower

and then consider the care and pride l
took in decorating the pot. the sppro-
pirate designs, the exquisite harmony
of color-al my labor gone to naught.
Oh, dear me-" she iuterrogsted petu-
lently, "oi what use ara the children in

"Remember, MatiI,.a," quietly inter
posed Mr.. Benson, you We're II child. .
"Yes, but unlike your children, John
Benson, I WAS taught never to medlle

he, and you know it, she rejoined
ssrcastical!y, as she swept with an air
of indignant disdsin from the roo'a.
1t was Sunday before Christmas, one
Of those gloomy, ,monotonous days, with
leaden clouds floating overhead, the
biting wind bowling and moaning thro
the streets, and = drizzling rain de-
scending steadily upon the earth, max
ing everybody morosc and cross and
fretful. In fact, it WAS what children
call keep in" day, when they roam
ailnlessly from room 10 room, or are
dulled to sleep by The pattaring rain
drops against the window panes. And
this paticular Sunday was kept in"
day with Sadie Benson, and it was
while attempting to move the flower
stand that the misfortune narrated
overlook her.
"Oh, N.Y." she wearily solloquized,
as she stood gazing out Of the window,
after the accident had subsided, 81
wish the sun would SHINE"
AS she turned away, an open Bible
on the table caught her notice. Pick
ing it up she began to read, and COM
ing presently to a passage which she
did not clearly comprehend, she hast
ened with the book to her mother. 1t
was this:
~Give, and it shall be given unto
you; good measure, pressed down and
shaken together, and running over,
shall nlen give into your .bosoms. For
with the same measure that You mets
withal, it shall bs measured to you
again. st. Luke iv, 38.

you an idea of its meaning; that we

TAMMANY TRUE.
The Great Democratic Organization
will Support Cleveland and
Hendricks.

New York Aug. ga special to the
Chicago Daily Nea0s says: The status of
Tammany in the present campaign has
been definitely fixed and on Friday even
ing next the committee on organization
will meet and perfect arrangements for a
characteristic Tammany ratification of
Cleveland and Hendricks, which means a
meeting of fully $4,000 men divided into
four sections. filling Tammany, Irving,
and Nillson halls, and the Acanemy of
Music, with overflow stands all along 18th
street, Irving place, and Union square.
Senator Bayard, Blackburn, and Voor>
hees, Congressman Carlisle, Cox, and
Randall, Gen. Roger A. Pryor, and John
Kelly will be the leading hall speakers.
From this meeting will date the opening
of TammaDys campaign. Tammany is
undoubtedly the most elaborate political
organization in this country and actually
owns S5, 600 votes, controlled by assem-
bly, districts. Every Tammany voter is
known personally to his leader and
week before election Kelly can tell within
500 votes just how Tammany will go.
Since it has been definitely settled that
bmmanv would indorse Cleveland the
antics of the early kickers to get back
into the ranks unscathed, have been
amusing in the extreme. In the language
of that distinguished sachem. Register
Reilly: There is no monkeying with the
band wagon in tammany. A man must
either do as tammany tells him or get out.
He hasn't any Independent: middle ground
foolishness to stand on.'
A broad smile suffused the faces of the
Irving hall and county democracy leaders
today when Mayor Edison formally de
! clared himself in favor of Cleveland and
! Hendricks, which simple means that
John Kelly has got things fixed to suit
him, and that Mayor Edison will be a
candidate to succeed himself. His honor
was never known to express a political
opinion that had not first been filtered
through kelly's consent.
The great Irish meeting for Cleveland
last night brings feeling bordering on
dismay to the local republican managers,
who have all along assured chairman
Jones that the Irishman were for Blaine,
and there was an effort among the loung~
ers at the headquarters to belittle the
meeting as an assemblage of politicians
merely. but they evidently didn't believe
what they said. At democratic head
quarters the success of last nights meet
ing was the main topic of conversation
today. The truth of the matter is that
the democratic managers had little or no
confidence in the meeting before it oc-
cured, so vigorously have the opposition
yelled "the Irish are for the Blaine" but
everything is changed now. and there DO
longer exists serious doubt of very gen
eral Irish loyalty to Cleveland. Advices
were received today of the organization
of 143 Cleveland and Hendricks clubs
throughout the country during the past
fortyeIght>hours
