AChriStmaS Poem.

Oh, how we love the Christmas time!
And how we love to roam,
To see what we can get that's good,
To beautify our home.
What can we do more worthy
Than helping hand to lends
To make our home more cheerful,
And not forget friend.
Now Jane we've talked this over,
And I'll tell you what we'll do;
Wen go to the store the people like,
lis the place first met you.
Their name is known all over,
And the boys in the shop agree,
That of all the places in the town
IT'S the store You want to see
1t goes from South Main clear to Grand,
And full on every floor;
The prices are what we can stand,
We can ask for nothing more.
The clerks are always civil,
And they wait on you with care.
Their Pictures, Rockers, Lounges,
Are pleasing, new and rare.
SO, Jane put on your bonnet,
And button up your shoes;
You make me tired, here waiting,
While bargain we may lose.
Aud if we're short of money,
They will give us chance to pay,
Come, hurry up my honey,
won't wait another day.
JAMES RETURN.
Well, George, I've seen that store
You talked about tonight,
And it's just as you have stated
1t is n pleasant sight.
Those Sixteenth Century Rockers
In willow, plush, rattan,
Are elegant and durable,
I'll have one if can.
thought of the night when nrst we met
Twas on the parlor floor;
How much their stock has since improved,
Indeed it is THE store.
Aud the people seem to KNOW it,
As they're walking up and down;
It's THE place to buy our furniture
Al long as we're in town.
We wish you merry Christmas,
All who helped to make our pile;
Aud when you come to see us,
We will greet you with a smile.
As sure as Mary had lamb,
And two aud one are three,
If you want to furnish up in style,
We're the fellows you want to see.
-MoRIARTY.
As George and Jane speak, so do all who visit
our mammoth establishment. We want every.
one TO come and see us this year, as We have
the largest, the newest and the best selected

erred upon it's chosen object. Just
here it may be interesting to some
of our lady readers to know that Mr..
Dickinson is bachelor of 80, but
just what are his intentions as to
matrimony are delicate secrets that
the palmister may not with propriety
make public at this time.
That Mr.. Dickinson is laudably am
bilious is shown in the full and we'll
rayed "Mount of Jupiter" (D). That
his ideal and artistic tastes, shown in
the fair and well lined "Mount of
Apollo (F), have been devoted to the
more materially practical affairs of
life is shown in the curving of the
first and third fingers toward the
"Saturnian" or middle finger. That
this gentleman will succeed in his am
billions and undertakings is to be ex-
pected when to the above character
istics there is added the strong will
persistent determination and effort
announced by the long and full thumb.

way station, and on an elevated neck OK
woodland between Oyster Bay and Cold
Spring Harbor. and projecting out INTO
Long Island Sound, is the country home
of Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt, at present
one of the United States civil service
commissioners. On the Oyster Bay side
of Mr.. Roosevelt's place the woods have
not been disturbed, and there is now
dense grove OF chestnut. hickory and
birch, and through this the road winds
up to the higher land, which has been
cleared. Here Mr.. Roosevelt, some six
or eight years ago, built himself an ele-
CANT house, which he uses for his home
about eight months in the year. 1t is
charming spot On three sides there is
water, and on the land side the heavy
woodland which protects the place from
the highway. Within sight and across
the sound is the Connecticut shore.
1t is place admirably adapted to q
life of quiet ease but it will probably be
many years before the young and gifted
owner gives much time to idleness. he
is by nature too energetic and active to
ever rest very long on his oars. He
must be doing something all the time.
By inheritance he is rick man, and
nine young men out of ten who come
into fortunes such rs his feel that it Is
unnecessary for them to do anything
harder than to seek amusement. He
loves amusement, too, and he finds it in
sports at home and abroad. Though
small man in stature he is mighty
hunter, whether he chases the aniseseed
bag over the fences and brooks of Long
Island, or seeks the grizzly bear in the
Businesses of the Rocky mountains.
Of these ohases he has written most
charmingly in the magazines, and his
has been the ablest pen to defend the
cross country riding, called fox hunting,
in the neighborhood Of New York. 1t
has been Fashionable to laugh at the
young gentlemen who compose the vari-
GUS hunt clubs about New York. They
were called Anglomaniacs and dudes,
and any other epithet which happened to
come handy was applied to them. Mr..
Roosevelt did not hesitate to say that
the sport was manly one, requiring
courage and skill, and he was unques-
tionably right A fence is fence and a
ditch is ditch whether there is fox
afield-or not, and horse and rider each
has as MUCH to do to go straight in one
case as the other. Mr.. Roosevelt has
also shown us the cowboy of the plains.
Among them he is very much at home,
as he has an extensive ranch in the
northwest and has for several years
spent part Of each season among the
'cow punchers" Of the frontier. When
he visits his ranch he never fails to seek
large game in the mountains. His adj
ventures and successes in these enter
prises he has used for material for very
interesting articles.

His contributions to literature have
not been confined ito mere slight maga-
zine sketches. He has done serious
work. His - Winning Of the West" is a
valuable contribution to American his
tory. The field was not virgin, 1t is
true, but it had been touched 50 slightly
that the world had scant knowledge Of
the patient work, dreadful hardships
and romantic adventures of those hardy
and heroic pioneers who pushed beyond
the Ohio and the Mississippi, and pre-
served for our country the vast territory
which stretches thence to the Pacific. In
the histories saw when was boy at
school in Kentucky never came across
much about any of the WORTHLESS who
built up our country except those whose
lives had been spent on the seaboard.
The books Of twenty years ago were
all made in Boston and New York and
Philadelphia and unless man hap
pened to belong to the east he had very
little chance to have his deeds chron-
icled by the historians. The east has
learned that there is q good deal Of west
to the country, and Mr.. Roosevelt in hia
book shows that even before the estab-
lishInent of the republic there were men
IN the west who were heroic alike in
their conceptions and their deeds. This
was large undertaking for u young
man of fortune But while he was do
ing this he had other affairs to keep in
order-fences to keep trim which were
always disposed to tumble down.
He was an active politician. He went
to the primary elections and to the nomi-
mating conventions. He was elected to the
legislature ut Albany, and he was for
the lobbyists a very uncomfortable ele-
ment in that body when amy job was to DO
rushed through. He brayed Roscoe Conk-
ling when the great senator tried to
force Grant on his party for third term.
And in his famous race for the mayor
atty of New York he braved quite as
formidable an opponent as Conkling
ever was in the eccentric, the irascible,
but always able and entertaining Abram
Hewitt, who kicked conventionality out
of doors when he became mayor, and
made the conduct of the business Of the
great city as gay and lively as the per-
formance of comic opera.
Mr. Roosevelt's present undertaking;
that is. to divorce Office holding from
partisan politics, is certainly big one.
| don't know how hopeful he is after the
experience he has had. He certainly
would not be afraid Of the job because
it was big and difficult. That is not in
him. IT,, however. he ever does accom-
plish his task venture the opinion that
he will need to take his ease for a sea-
son or so at least at his beautiful home
on Long Island. JNo. GILMER SPEED.
