Grant County Oak. Review.
Since the reorganization of the GLOBE,
about year ago, at which time Mr.. Lewis
Baker became editor and general manager,
Its growth and development in all that goes
to make up thoroughly reliable and metro
politan newspaper has certainly been phe-
nomenal. The Northwestern newspaper field
was covered by another paper, but the GLOBE
set out with the evident determination of
establishing itself in the same field. That it
has succeeded in it's effort is now recog-
nized fact. The GLOBE, politically, is clean
cut Democratic, but never was there fairer
nor more thoroughly Independent journal in
its comments and discussions upon current
political topics-and for this reason is it that
thousands who do not agree with it politically
are numbered among its regular subscribers,
who recognize its manly spirit of indie
pendence. The GLOBE is steadily and rapidly
improving as news gatherer, and it's special
correspondents at the principal news centers
are among the brightest writers of the day.

THE YOUTHS CHRISTMAS.

The children of larger growth may have
outiived long ago all the superstitions con-
nected with Christmas time, but they are as
sensible of its pleasures, if in more prac-
teal way, as their younger brothers and
sisters. The maiden, who with reluctant
feet is stepping over the dividing line into
womanhood has, perhaps, for weeks been
working her dainty fingers weary over
some beautiful specimen of needle-work
Which she knows will gladden. the
heart OF certain young man. who will be
too grateful to notice whether the stitches
are awry or the embroidered figures impos
slble. And very ungallant youth he would

IN THE OLUEN TIME.

Christmas has been made more of merry
making season in England than in other
countries. The time was when the reyels
began on Christmas eve and continued until
Candlemas (Feb. y. The holiday sea-
son was time for great feasting, so
much so that the Italians still have an old
proyerb: HE has more business than Eng
fish ovens at Christmas" What Christmas
was in the olden time in England is set
forth in the following lines:
On Christmas eve the bells were rung
On Christmas eve the mass was sung;
That only night in all the year,
Saw the stolid priest the chalice rear,
Then opened wide the baron's hall
To vassal, tenant serf and ALL
Power laid his rod of rule aside
And ceremony doffed his pride.
The heir with roses in his shoes,
That night might village partner choose.
All hailed with uncontrolled delight
And general voice the happy night
That to the cottage, as the crown,
Brought tidings of salvation down.
England was merry England when
Old Christmas brough his sports again.
Twas Christmas preached the mghtiest ale;
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale;
A Christmas gambol oft would cheer
poor mans heart through half year.

OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY.

Christmas day has always been eonsid-
cred by Christian nations in the double
light of holy commemoration and cheer
full festival. In the earlier and middle ages
more prominence was given to the religious
celebrations than in these times. The Gus
tom of singing carols, which were intended
to recall the songs of the shepherd at the
birth of CHRIST, has been almost abandoned.
In some of the churches in France and
Italy the custom is still preserved and the
singing of these canticles fill the hours
between the nocturnal masses In Italy it
is still the custom for Colabrian minstrels
to descend from the mountains to Naples
and Rome, saluting the shrines of the Vir-
gin with their wild music, under the poet
zeal notion of cheering her until the birth
time of the infant at the approaching
Christmas. In England and on the con-
tlnent the custom of ringing bells at mid
night is still preserved. But all these cele-
brations have lost their primitive boisterous
character. About all that remains of the
various rough merriments that used to mark
the festival are the family reunions and
decorating the churches with eyergreens.

CHRISTMAS IN MIDDLE AGE.

S11IelS NJ AS In A6Es
When the young couple who took that
memorable sleigh ride reach more mature
years, Christmas has become an oft-repeated
tale. But if its joys have changed, it is
only in kind, not in degree. There are
others now whose delight in that day they
consider more than their own and find their
pleasure in this youthful glee. AS each
little one with pretty eagerness asks how
long it will be before the coming of
Santa Claus and scurries out of bed
to the amply supplied stocking, when the
fateful day at last arrives then the older
heads are carried back through long vista
of years and live over their own youthful
pleasures and disappointments in the pres
ent life of their children. And who can
deny, the dreadful spectre of Christmas
bills and business cares having been for
one day at least thrust into the
background, that the Christmas of
the older folk is as vivid in its
enjoyment as that of the youngsters? 1t
is true it has its element of sadness also;
the youthful idols shattered, the vacant
places in the household and among the
ranks of friends, vacancies made more fire.
quent by each succeeding year; but if the
Christmas carol of the older folk has this
note of sadness in it, the harmony is none
the less sweet. 1t is the season
when, as far as possible, the entire
family is assembled and in the manifold
Joys of the Christmas celebration little of
lost youth is regained which retains its
cheerful influence far into the new year.
And as for those who by mistaken choice or
misfortune are denied the charm which
clings to such gathering, let little of the
overlooking sympathetic good will illumme
their lonely lives, so that each recurring
Christmas may bring with it. its portion of
peace to render cheerful and mellow COM
ing old age

REMEMBER THE POOR,

Be merry all, be merry ALL
With holly dress the festive hall,
Prepare the song, the feast, the bals
To welcome merry Christmas.
And oh, remember, gentles gay,
To you who bask in fortunes ray,
The year is all holiday
The poor have only Christmas.
When you with velvets mantled DER
Defy DEFENDERS tempest's roar,
Oh, spare one garment from thy store,
To clothe the poor at Christmas.
When you the costly banquet deal
To guests who never famine feel,
Oh, spare one morsel from your meal
To feed the poor at Christmas.
When gen'rous wine your care controls,
And gives new joy to happiest souls,
Oh, spare one goblet from your bowls
To cheer the poor at Christmas.
So shall each note of mirth appear
More sweet to heaven than praise or prayer
And angels, in their carols there,
Shall bless the poor at Christmas.

HARRY,s oHRlsTmAs MESSAGE.
BY NARY A. BARI

BY MARY A. BARR.
Guiding down on the sheep-skin rug
Fleecy and warm and white,
Three little baby chilren talk
Talk low in the warm fir-light.
ut is Christmas eyeH' says Harry;
ut is Christmas eve'' says Grace:
ut is Christmas eve!" lisps little Kate,
Lifting her dlmple face.
''And Santa Claus is coming tonight,
Coming when We are asleep;
And mother says he Is sure to bring
Just what we want to keep"
''Then he Will bring me golden ring
He will bring me doll, know"
Said Harry: Hell bring me a ship
With sails as white as snow
So they spoke of their coming joys
In the rudy fre-light's glow,
And Harry said in whisper:
''Oh, wouldn't like to know
Where father is sailing tonight
Father, away on the seal
Mother says it is Christmas eve
Wherever his ship may be-
Then three little white-robed figures
Went hand in hand up stairs.
And three little tender faces
Bent low for their Christmas prayers,
The doll and the golden ring
In slumber were soon forgot;
But Harry with open eyes lay still,
Heart full of tender plot.
When the house was very quiet
He crept to the chimney-place,
Tucked tiny note in his stocking,
And fled with happy face.
"'Twas only little boys message
BY some passing angel taught
Only sweet, unselfsh wish
Only an exquisite thought.
A message to Santa Claus. It read:
my father is off on the sea;
Please fill my stockings with kisses
And take them to him for me- -
All, surely the good God read it,
For the ship came home that night,
And Harry was clasped in his fathers arms
AT the dawn of the Christmas light.

One of the Jewels.

PipestOne Star.
The GLOBE is paper for everybody. It's
news is fresh and the most reliable to be Oh
tanned, while its editorial department is crisp
and ably written, more Democratic than any
thing else politically, but at all times fearless,
independent and in the interests of the peo-
pie. In fact the GLOBE is, in our opinion,
newspaper in every sense of the word, one of
the jewels Of American journalism, and
paper that ought to be in every household.

KISSING THEN AND NOW.

He would not kiss the baby, the darling little
elf,
For it might have the measles, which he'd not
had himself;
But when to older years-to maidenhood's
sweet prime
This same sweet elin baby is waltzing round
in time,
No more he fears the measles. he may con-
tract from sis
But square upon her mouth he plants a
smacking kiss.

A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY.
Why Everybody Reads the Globe
Portland Inter-Ocean.


Portland Inter-Ocean.
The wonderful success which is possible to
be attained in journalism has never been
more thoroughly demonstrated than in the
progress being made by the St. Paul GLOBE
under the management of Mr.. Lewis Baker.
1t is not only the official Democratic paper of
Minnesota, but fills the same office equally as
well for the Dakotan by devoting page
daily to the happenings and conditions of
every locality in the territory. 1t has out
rivaled and outstripped all its Minnesota
contemporaries, and has not only made itself
household want, but necessity. 1t is
always reliable, always filed with the latest
and choicest cablegrams, while its editorial
page is crowded with gems of thought
original, strong and forcible, although liberal
on whatever subject it seeks to discuss. And
while it is plain, outspoken representative
of the Democracy, it is nevertheless THE Pa
PER for the Dakota Republican.

CHRISTMAS SPEECH.

BY A LITTLE GIRL.
"A merry, merry Christmasl
A merry Christmas, ohu'
So sang q little maiden
Whose face was all aglow.
81 am so very happy
This bright and joyous morn,
The dearest and the gayest
I've seen since l was born.
'"rhe holidays are many. =
But this one Is the best,
Because-I think--yes, Christmas
is better than the rest.
Why Is it so, wonder?
Just let me think a bit,
And see il on the reason
MY fancy cannot hit.
VI sometimes think my birthday
The dearest holiday.
Because have such presents,
That make life seem SO gay;
But 1t would seem too selfish,
And make life all conceit,
To settle on ones birthday
AS best OF all to greet.
''The holiday for soldiers
Is Decoration day,

In sweet and flowery May,
think the splendid soldiers
Deserve all words of praise;
And. though It's patriotic,
Ills not the best of days.
"And then that day in summer
That dreadful holiday
The Fourth, when wild confusion
Holds 0VoPVWhRpa itS AWAY
When fun is tame and silly
Unless it's only noise;
For me it wouldn't answer,
Although it might for boys.
"Thanksgiving Day is nicer,
For that seems half end halt.
With not enough of Sunday
TO make it hard to laugh.
1t seems day too serious
To let my joy flow free,
And SO ask the seasons
A happier day for me.
"The next-and that is Christmes-
Yes, that's the holiday
That's better than all others,
Whatever you may say.
My pleasures all are sweeter,
And brighter ali my plays,
Upon dear merry Christmas,
The best of holidays.
"And so, although I'm happy
On every holiday,
The evergreen and holly,
The faces bright and gay,
Make all my play seem nicer,
And all my thoughts more blest;
So Christmas is the fairest
Of all the days. and best.''

THE EAST.

The political campaign has set in with
great fury in Virginia and Ohio, and
what the wretched people in those States
are suffering just now gives us an idea
of what New Workers will be subjected
to in October. In Virginia the Republi-

print the Democratic candidate, Fitzhugb
Lees name "F. lee." In Ohio the Demo
cratic journals speak of the Republican
candidate as "Joseph Benzine Foraker"
The Richmond Wing gives the following
enlivening picture of the canvass in Vir-
ginia: 1.-The canvass has now fully
begun. F. lee is lodging in the east;
little Ayres is skulking in the southwest,
and Massacre Massey, like an incendiary
and assassin, is sneaking through all the
intermediate territory. Meanwhile our
candidates hurl defiance from every
stump in all sections of the Common.
