CHRISTMAS EVE.

ii'tering through the Shiny piles ~.
,'erneath the pier, only the d&kant
fwash of paddle broke upon the
Nmonotonous creaking of chains and
cables, the same big, stiff ones that Old
Tom Saunders had seen make fast the
newly arrived bark at nightfall lie had
u been striding up and down the bare
BECK OF the dusky canal boat to keep
rkimself warm ever since the stranger
had loomed up on the other side of the
pier. He had heard screaming in the
slip beyond the whistle of the tug boat
that had brough her in, and seen the
bustling little craft steam away with
the sparks and smoke from her tunnel
ieav ng luminous trail in the dark.
From that the gloom had been thicker
about the pier and the damp mist roll
ing up from the bay had wrapped the
shipping in a shroud of moisture There
had been q clatter of voices for while
on the big bark, and he had been half
conscious of Citing lights and hoarse sea
orders but all these had ceased long ago
and now the black hull of the new arrival
rose up in the gloom, solemn and silent,
with Ler masts slightly tilted off and a
lantern forward cleaning like a dim
yellow star.
Cid Tom Saunders paced the deck OF
the dingy hulk he was on, with his pipe
gripped fast between his teeth and his
hands slowed away down IN the pockets
of his thread bare pea Jacket. The bat
tered and decaying boat wasSQo shabDier
and more woe-l egone than the man.
Old Tom he was by virtue of the years
that had turned his few struggling

furrows across his face Familiarly Cid
Tom among the wharf men, who knew
him MS such ever since he had come along
on the old canal boat broken down
man with favor of better times about
him, Faeetiously Old Tom, in conse
quence of the fondness for the tipple
OF that name which, it was limited, had
dragged him down TO his present low
estate. Old Tom Saunders had once
been burly, and he was still big man,
but he had lost all his flesh His face
looked like worn parchment, and had
that colorless, bleached. out appearance
which life Of constant excesses begets.
There was also that nervous twit hing
about the lips and that aimless wander
ing OF the fingers which betoken con
atitution unstrung and shattered.
In low spirits indeed he seemed this
night of Christmas I've as he stopped at
the stern of the canal boat to look of
toward the big black warehouses that
shut in the river side like a wall Up in
the air a reddish haze hung over the city
where the lights of countless lamps on
the thorougfares beneath had set the
damp atmosphere aglow, and from some
lofty buildings the radiance of electricity
showed in the fog, blue and pallid, as
death lights at some internal orgie.

A curious opinion has been rendered by the
attorney general Of New York state to the effect
that any voter who chooses may visit the polls at
separate time to cast each ballot. That Is to
say, for example, he may come at eight O'Clock In
the morning and vote for presidential electors at
nine again and vote the state ticket, at ten and
vote for Congressman, at eleven and vote for
county ofncers, at twelve and vote for mem
Der OF the state assembly, and so on
TN his handful OF ballots are exhausted
This may be sound law, but, II so, the law ought
20 be changed without delay. In q crowded city,
