IA Christmas Poem
Hail, Christmas Eve, the crown of all the wear
when ioy-beils ring and gladness rules the
When bosoTns swell with happy expectation,
And buds OF promise bursf to perfect flower
A time when gentle hearts more tender grow.
And ktndliest deeds with brighter iustre shine;
when Heaven comes down, when earth is lifted
And human nature touches the divine.
This night, when charity walks everywhere
In sweet receptions. innocent disgnises
with muf1ed feet makes stealfhy visitation
To crown the dawn with infinite surprises.
With but one thought that hath a tinge of
How best TO bridge the hours that lie between
The evening shadows and the glorious morrow
When joys are sweetest, then are sad hearts
And they tonight who are grief-vigils keeping
Ger new-made graves, or CHASTITY wounds con
cealing,
Are dumb with anguish, voiceIeSs in their
weeping.
Der two such lives. just as the year was fading,
The unbdden guest his Hateful shsdow flung;
Bsnished the sunlight from that happy home,
And from their hearts Efe's fairest jewel
wrung.
Ten years ago, in the fun Christmas tide.

Like Alpine flower, To blossom meath the SHOWS

Prom old traditions Of their youthful DAYS
They sought quaint customs, jewels to reset.
To match the brightness OF her sunny ways.
They have no heart for such devices now;
Scarce can they brook the !oy-notes of their
neighbors,
Who have been wont to toll the whole night
through,
That she might wear the crown of loves sweet
lsbors-
Only one custom they would fsin observe:
She loved II best, whose privilege had been
Each Christmas Eve to place the door sjsr

And slowly drag the lives immersed in sorrow

THE Chinese emperor has actually
been out for an airing. For many
centuries this Son of Heaven has been a
great mystery to his subjects, and dy-
nasty after dynasty has passed away
without the masses of the people ever
once getting glimpse Of their ruler.
The present ruler has brushed aside
tradition and Invested himself of the
mummery and mystery that have hith-
erto surrounded the emperor of this
country. His recent outing was made
on the occasion of the annual pilgrim
age to the ton1bs of his ancestors. And
he went about his errand like gentle
man and a man of sense. His subjects
were allowed to approach him and pre-
sent petitions. The emperor stopped
and chatted with them, and nobody was
stuck full of splinters or dragged off in
chains for his temerity. Some Of the
older mandarins were horror stricken
over the emperor's bold innovation, but
the ministry is said to approve all that
he has done. It is to be hoped that the
young emperor will make many more
raids on the tradition and superstition
OF the Flowery Kingdom. and lead his
people forward in civilization. Alto
gether he is very promising young fell
low, a student and thinker, as we'll as q
man Of affairs.

THE COPPER MARKET.

The Engineering and Mining Journals
Weekly Resume.
The tone of the market is still very firm
indeed, and although the difficulties with
the workmen, which threatened to result in
serious strikes at several of the Lake mines,
havs now been arranged. values have
shown no inclination to give way, clearly
proving that the position is inherently
strong. OF Lake brands nothing is now
obtainable from producers below 17c. but
from second holders few small lots might
possibly still be secured at from l6A-7s, but
it looks as if these lots would soon be out of
the way. AS was generally foreseen, the
demand TOR Arizona copper has greatly in
creased. and those descriptions have now
advanced to l5lla@l5A. Casting brands
are also held for higher prices. ana nothing
is now obtainable below 134@15. To sum
up, the market is exceedingly strong for all
sorts, and deliveries are going on at very
great rate. In London the market for

THE French government is about to
undertake the collection of the most
complete labor statistics ever yet COM
piled. Minister Ribot has addressed a
circular to the representatives of France
in the United States, England, Cor
many, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium,
Russia, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Den
mark and the Netherlands calling for
reports upon the general state of the
labor question in each country. He
proposes to get information in regard to
workmen's homes, schools, cooperative
institutions, relief funds, loan associa-
tions and saving banks; the length of
the working day; how wages are fixed
and paid; the responsibility of employ
ers in case of accident; the competition
of foreign immigration with domestic
workingmen; controversies between en-
ployers and worlSmen and how adj
justed; the condition of the laborer
politically, socially and mechanically;
the relation of wages paid to the cost of
products, and the prices of the means of
subsistence. These reports are to be
ready by the first of September and if
properly digested will afford vast
amount of invaluable information.

The Mother OF Twins Dies,

The wife of Mr.. Hodge, of the electric
light works, gave birth to twin boys Wednes-
day night while her husband was after a
doctor. 1t is said the husband remained
away long time, and that the woman sui
ut the time, and when her husband re-
turned she was dead. That she had suf
fered terribly was evidenced from the way
she must have torn her face about the ears.
A physician says she died of blood poison
ing. The infant twins, both boys, are being
cared for by the deceased's sister.
Jos. Zinzel. u laborer, had a job saving
wood for the deceased on Wednesday,
which he did not finish. The woman was
about, and gave him some instructions
about the wood. Yesterday he went to I'm
ish the job, when he was surprised to hear
of the woman's cruel death, which is said to
be due to neglect.

An effort is now being made among some
Of the democratic politicians of Montana
to raise 100000 to purchase The HELENA
INDEPENDENT and set it on its feet as
legitimate newspaper enterprise instead of
Northern Pacific and millionaire hand or
gan. Editor Lyman desires to lift up the
paper SO it can be honest and outspoken,
and he is trying therefore to arrange for it's
purchase from the Hauser combination.
The only drawback to the scheme is that
Sam will never let go. He needs The INDE-
PENDENT in his business.-Butte Inter
Mountain.
With few slight inaccuracies the
above is all true. In the first place
democratic politicians are not trying to
buy The INDEPENDENT; in the second
place they couldn't buy it for $780,
900 if they wanted it; in the third place
Editor Lyman isn't "trying to arrange
for it's purchase from the Hauser COM
bination," because he already owns a
controlling interest in it, and the
"Hauser combina tion," whatever that
may be, does not own one dollars worth
of stock in it. In the fourth place The
INDEPENDENT isn't Northern Pacific
Or millionaire hand organ. We have
mailed to the Hon. Lee Mantle copy

how the republican party secures a
fraudulent majority in congress by sys-

In other words, 1929 republican votes

1852 votes to each. In the same states
it requires 81, 40S votes to elect demo-

can party cares nothing for such an ex-
hibit. It insolently asks, "Well, what

THE SPANISH DANCE
As Described by yaltles in "Sister Saint
Sulpice,"

As Described by yaldes in SISTER Saint

Our learned host in few moments ap-
peared with castanets, which he handed to
the Sisters. Then they took off their "cor-
onets'' and hoods. For the first time saw
SisterSan Sulpicio's hair; it was dark and
shiny, with almost blush light, slightly
waving not very long, because at the time
that she took her VOWS the scissors made
terrible havoc in them. After we had made

two girls who We're going to perform

other smiling, Sister Maria de la Luz with
her head bent and blushing to her ears; her
cousin with her arms akimbo, a trihe pale,
her lips feyerish, the slight squirting of her
beautiful velvety eyes being little intensi-
fed. My heart leaped within me out of
pure excitement.
The Malaganian raised his voice little
and sang seguidilla.
Instantly the four castanets clacked nois-
lily, the dancers lifted their arms and APP

Toasted on the adorable curves of the grace
full Sister San Sulpicio, not concealed by
the coarse serge. Followed series
of movements and steps, all adjusted
to the sound of the guitar and the
castanets, which never for a moment ceased
to sound with joyous and noisy clapping;
the bodies of the two cousins rose and fell,
bending to one side and then to- the other
with opposite motions of heads aud arms.
The arms indeed had the most to do. some
times extended with the breast advanced
in challenging attitude, then again pick

which must have been intended to represent
flowers, then again bent above the head,
