you have thrown sunshine about aslittle

which 1t nestles, some long forgotten hope.
1t is meet that on this Sabbath day so
closely preceding Christmas, that they who
are fayored with plenty may have their
thoughts directed to the needy whose
lamps of hope burn low. It does not re-
qufre much to make them happy. A simple
rememberance, kind word, will break
the mOnot0ny of their sorrow, the mere
fact that they are remembered by the
great prosperous world bringing to their
poor tired hearts wealth of s0lace and
encouragement.
Bismarck is fortunate in having pros
porous people: as a rule her homes are sup.
piled with all that is necessary to insure q
worldly happiness and on Christmas
morning her people will be enjoying that
exlberance of spirit and that rejlvenating
delight born of the customs of the day.
But there are those who are struggling up
life's hill under burdens of adversely; they
need some helping handsome encourage
ing wOrds-and it is hoped that their pros
porous neighbOrs will not forget them.
Let Christmas be made merry for the
poor. How pleasant it would be to know
that there would be no empty stockings

Curren is now In Jail at this point. The
value of the opium is estimated at over
$4,000.
Curren claims to be innocent, and that
he shipped the opium from Bottineau for
man who came from Manitoba and claimed
that he and his horses were so weary that
he could 90 no farther.
The deputy collector of customs at Bot
tineau, in charge of Mr.. Curran tells the
Fargo Argus: "This is the first instance
have known of opium being smuggled at
BOttineau. A year ago $50 pounds of
opium was taken across the border at
Rugby junction, then shipped to Fargo
and west to Portland by the Northern Pa
cific. and to San Francisco by steamer" 1t

Curren himself says: l am victim of
misfortune. am guilty of no Intentional
crime or connection with that opium SNUG

the boxes contained household goods,
wanted me to drive them to Bottineau and
ship them to Denver, and he would return
to Manitoba after his family. 1 did so.
The goods are found to contain 400 pounds
of opium worth about $14 per pound. Here

The Opium Smuggling Case.

The smuggling case now being tried in
this city is one of the most interesting in
the history of the courts of the territory.
The man under arrest, charged with SNUG
Cling opium over the Canadian border into
the United States is James Curren, man
about fifty years of age, tall in statue and
wearing heavy iron gray beard. He has
the appearance of man of varied experi-
ence and one who has seen much Of the
world. Evidence in the case is now being
taken before United States Commissioner
Ross, Deputy United States Attorney Muir
ply appearing for the prosecution and
Geo. I. Webster for the defense. Ths
prosecution has submitted all of its evil
dence with the exception Of proving that
the material smuggled is opium. The test
will be made by DR.. COrson, who will sub
init expert testimony on the subject.
The amount of opium seized was 400
pounds and its value may be estimated
from the fact that the duty is $40 per
pound and the value of the article here is
about $28 per pound. The shipment was
made to one Nelson Of Denver and the
opium was seized in ST. Paul NJ. j. or Com
nor, who is one of the customs officers at
that point. The valuable drug was shipped

Let's Make 1t Merry.

Up will go the stockings tomorrow
evening and on Tuesday morning joy will
be distributed throughout the length and
breadth of the Christian world.
But it will not be unalloyed. These days
of general rejoicings bring their sadness
and the most lamentable fact is that the
sadness is brought to those who are the
sufferers the year round. The rich can re-
joice on Christmas over the marks of friend
ship which they receive from their wealthy
companions and acquaintances. Money is.
not lacking in their interest, and sur
rounded by the comforts and luxuries of
life they can enjoy the friendly tokens with
perfect satisfaction. AS rule the poor
mans friends are poor; his associates are
as needy as himself; he is crowded outside
of the halls of splendor and there is no one
who takes an interest in his welfare that
is not struggler for tread. To him
Christmas is day to be dreaded. While
his more fortunate neighbor displays his
handsome gifts with pride, he feels the
prod of necessity urging him out into the
bleak world to fight for the paltry crumbs
While the laugh of his neighbors child
| rings merrily upon the breeze he hears
sobs from his own; he sees the CLEAN of
delight in the eye of the merchants child,
in his own child's eyes are tears. The
plump and rosy faces of the children who
80 dancing by are constant taunts to the
pinched and color ess cheeks of those he
loves.
With all the sweet twaddle and poetic
fancies about the universal happiness that
Christmas brings, it is the saddest day of
all the year to thousands who have not
been fortunes pets. 1t is hoped then, that
as the years roll on, as civilization advances
toward unselfshness and charity that those
who have been blessed with fortune will
endeavOr to SO remember Him who was
born in the manger and who sought the
association of the lOwly while on earth. as
to send happiness into the homes Of the
poor with the blessed Christmas time.
How happy is the man who knows that he
has lightened the burden of sorrow on
some weary struggler; what an invigorat-
ing and satisfying pleasure must thrill the
kindly man who knows that by his act the
tear stains have been baDished from some

yesterdays proceedings were somewhat
sensational and exciting. Currin was

made a strong defense, but the evidence
submitted during the case was such that
the commissioner decided that there was
probable cause to believe that the defend
ant was guilty of the crime charged.
Currin still maintains that he simply
