4 CHRISTMAS STORY.

There is and for five years last past has
been residing in this city a venerable. vet
bale and hearty German couple Who are
the proud parents of a family of eight, all
of whom are self-supporting and scattered
over various portions of this state but it
is custom which they brought with
them from the old country that, il possible,
all will meet at the old folks board on
Christmas day.
-Four years ago. on Christmas day. 1855,
they all thus met in this city. and the
young people, by agreement among them
selves, in lieu of the usual presents to their
parents contributed So each and pllr-
chased for them lot. aud at the prices

that lot the old people could today read
lily obtain, but would not think of tax
ing, the SUM Of 5000.
They are all together once more TODAY.
and nowhere on earth will there be a
family that viii enjoy the day more rner-
rily or happily. This Is not much of a
Christmas story. Il Is not very senti-
mental. But there Is a great. big moral in
it for those who viii search diligently and

DOCTORS DIFFER.


That doctors are apt TO differ has long
been a proverb. but the extent to which
they arc liable to differ was never better
illustrated than in case lately presented
al the New York eustom~house, where
question has arisen as TO the commercial
value Of nr. Koch's lymph, and the conse-
quent duty that should be imposed upon

GIFTS AND GOOD WILL.

Beyond ali precedent the streets of Seat
tie have been thronged during the past
week. all day and well into the evening of
each day, with busy and eager crowds in
tent upon the selection of gifts, suitable
to the season. for friends and relatives.
Never in its history have the tradesmen of
this city, especially those dealing in 'holi-
day" lines of goods, reaped so rich har-
vest The enormous sales that have been
made in this connection bear unanswer-
able testimony to the general prosperity of
our people.
1t has been observable, however, and no.
tably so, that holiday purchases have been
largely in the line of useful and perma-
nently valuable articles, and not exclu-
sively or mainly in those of an ornamental
or sentimental character, which in turn
testifies to prevalence of sound sense and
practical ideas. But toys, gift books,
jewelry and fancy articles have been by
no means drug. And as to poultry and
game, the holiday trade of Seattle has
reached well-nigh fabulous proportions. OF
turkeys alone one ofthe dozen leading firms
of this city sold no less than four tons on
yesterday and Tuesday. These facts leave
no room for question that Seattle is not
only prosperous, but that her people are
disposed to live well and enjoy life after
the manner of highly civilized commune
ties.
To people of moderate means, and hav-
ing large family connections or circles of
friends, this Christmas practice of gift
making is something of a tax. In some
instances, no doubt, il operates as hard
ship But unlike many other taxes and
hardships it carries with it compcnsations.
To the end of life, no matter how long one
may live, the memories of Christmas joy
BUSINESS are precious legacy. If all of our
trials were as well repaid as are even the
most onerous demands of gift-making on
Christmas, this, indeed, would be a life
richly worth the living.
1t is thus that this anniversary realizes
the idea of the event of which it is COM
memorative. 1t was appointed for an an
nual celebration of that supremest of all
gifts, the gift by the Father of his only be-
gotten Son, that all men through Him
might enjoy the gift of life eternal. And
with it the keynote of human perfectibiIity
and happiness, Peace on earth, and good
viii toward menl"
Love one another" do unto others
as We would that they should do unto you. :"
These are the ideas with which the Gus
tomary mode of celebrating this ami
versary should he in accord. And thus
celebrated Christmas cannot fail to be
merry and joyous. And such may it be TO
| all this people!

WHAT Is TRUTH"

u IL
To THE EDITOR: There is threefold mystery
trinity in things and the writer is reminded
that this Is his third essay. Your correspond
ent, whose communication appeared today, was
right in calling previous reply ''evasive. when
the writer said some would recall the answer to
Pilates query, he thought that Christ at that
time replied Il am the way, and the truth and
the life," but on looking up the matter he found
that Jesus was silent. However, he still holds
that the question of every man, What is
TRUTH is answered by those words: ~ Ia son OF

writer holds this belief for several reasons: Be

Hebrew scriptures taught that each was to him

spiritual gifts about which Paul wrote. such as
healing. prophecy, discerning of spirits. visions
and knowledge, as a result OF their following

earthly or sensual and intellectual life fer a
spiritual one; because these men are prosecuted

A WICKED LIE REVIVED.
The Calkins Gang Sent an Agent to Gray
Harbor to Pick Up "a ffidayits."

Aberdeen Bulletin
Some weeks since the Tacoma LedGer and
Olympia Tribune published story 10 the effect
that certain parties in Chehalis county had
spent money in purchasing votes OF railroad
laborers for B. F. Johnston, Democratic candi-
date for state senator from this county The
particular object OF Johnstons election was to
GAIN a vote for Squire for United states senator,
it being alleged that Cooper, the Republican
candidate, was Calkins man.
There seems to be no foundation for the ale
cations or suggestions as to what the choice OF
either OF the candidates for senator would be,
but that cuts no figure in the story e pub
lished in the Globe of sunday last, which is SIM
ply a revival and rehash OF that OF the papers
first mentioned The Tacoma Globe is engaged
in malicious. reyengeful warfare against
senator Squire. no act being too mean or person
too degraded for recognition and countenance
by the Globe if it reflects in any manner against
Squire. In pursuance of this malicious object
an agent OF the GLOBE spent several weeks ioafTng
around Aberdeen picking up chance
remarks as well repetitions OF
heated wrangles Of election days, which he con-
strues into and diseloses as direct statements
supported by aiiidavits of the parties engaged in
eurrupting voters. The only afidavits, il fact,
are those OF self-confessed despoiers OF the bal
lot. and fall OF their own weight.
As 70 the local part OF this revamped lie, the
principal parties interested absent, but il is
pertinent to say that they have heretofore denied
the same story and published an offer of $50 Il
their aceusers could prove there was any truth
in il and it Is needless 70 say the reward has rot
heen claimed.

THE DEMON DIscoEp IN IRELAND.

The unparalleled unanimity with which
the patriot or Nationalist leaders of public
opinion in Ireland have worked together
for their country since the close OF the
quarrel between Daniel O'Connell and the
Young Ireland party, nearly fifty years
ago, had led many to think that the fac
tious spirit had died out of the land, and
that new era of brotherly love, mutual
forbearance and generous confidence had
dawned upon the long-distracted land. An
occasional row between excited fools on
the 18th of July, when the Orangemen cell
ebrated the success of William the Third
at the battle of the Boyne, scarcely marred
the wondrous harmony that marked the
steady progress of the National cause. 1t
seemed to the present generation as
though only historical significance at
tached to the sad lines of Ireland's greatest
poet:
Twas Fate, they say, Maynard Fate,
Our web Of Discord wove;
For while our tyrants joined In hate,
They never joined in love
1t seemed rs if Parnell were of all men
the best fitted TO perpetuate the reign of
patriotic peace. In an instant, as it were,
he becomes the cause and center of new
war. His untoward embodiment in the
domestic troubles of reckless, dissolutc
army officer, for whom he had secured a
seat in Parliament, has rudely broken the
long spell of concord, and threatened 10
engulf Ireland in an internecine strife
upon which she cannot enter without re-
suits of the most calamitous character.
This is a good time for irishmen to keep
cool and wait till the storm blows over
Let them ponder on these other lines of
the same poet in reference to the old-time
Orange celebrations and beware of pro-
noting dissension:
As yASoUIsHD ERIN.
As vanquish'd Erin wept beside
The Boyne's ill-fated river,
She saw where Dfscord, in the tide,
Had dropp'd his loaded CULVER
''Iie hid, she cried, ''ye venom'd darts,
.Where mortal eye may shun you;
"iie hid-the stain OF manly hearts,
THAT bleed for me, is on you"
But vain her wish. her weeping vain,-
As time too well hath taught her,
Each year the fiend returns again,
And dives into that water
And brings, triumphant, from beneath
His shafts of desolation,
And sends them, wing'd with worse than death
Through all her madd ming nation.
Alas for her who sits and mourns,
Evil now, beside that river
Unwearied still the fiend returns,
And stored is still his culver.
'When will this end, We Powers of Goody'
She weeping asks forever;
But only hears from out that food
The Demon answer, Never"

physician can get 800 for each injection,
and as a vial contains over 90 drops, its
present actual commercial value Is $4,000.
DR.. F. T. Kennicut, physician OF II.
Luke's hospital, being called upon, said
ssThe price Of a five-gramme vial IS - IN
Berlin. This is sufficient for 5000 inocuia-
lions of rniIligraInrne each after dilution.
This. according to the Loomis estimate
of what might be obtained for an injection
of the precious liquid would make vial
worth $500 600. but DR.. Kennieut's yalua-
ton was more modest, viz: s..
Here, relying upon medical expert testi-
mony. we have difference of S7T,9e5 on q
small package that could be carried in the
vest pocket or hidden in q fashionable

made an absurdly low estimate as to the
price that might be extorted from wealthy
people for remedy that would offer even
a gIimmering hope Of saving the life of
loved victim of phthisis. Some, doubtless,
rather than be deprived of the chance,
would give a million dollars, and there
are many who could and would give
hundred thousand OF more, making 81 900
for an injection, or $4,000 vial, very
moderate estimate, subject to duty of
$i95, 90.

Democrats. With their ballots conform
ing to the law they would at least have had
the negative effect of preventing the Dem
ocrats from registering clear majority,
and in that negative way would have
somewhat served the party which of the
two they would have preferred, but by
careIessness they threw away the chance
of doing even this negative service. The
Prohibition movement is peculiar.
