The Guest.

The Guest.
There Is gentle stranger drawing nigh to every
dwelling;
We cannot hear his footsteps fall so softly on the
snow;
And yet. as he comes nearer,
And his smile shines out the clearer,
'Tis no more the face of a stranger, but a Friend
whom we well know.
He came at first an infant, and His rest was in
the manger;
For the inn was full OF pilgrims on that won
drous Christmas night;
But He stayed for love and duty,
And TO I'LL the world with beauty.
Bringing perfect joy for sorrow, turning dark
ness into light.
How He loved the hearts he sought for is not
told by bells or carols,
Yet he came to bring us pleasures
And to make us rich with treasures,
And he did not shrink from sorrow, or poverty,
or loss.
Once it seemed that He was leaving, but He said
as he was passing,
Lo, 1 am with you alway! And we know He
With His Kind hands full of blessing,
Little children still caressing,
And dispensing gifts of bounty unto all about His
way.
Very near He is to some who have longed for His
And they seem TO hold communion with the
Master whom they love.
You can see their glad eyes giisten,
As to His dear voice they listen,
And the earthly homes are frightened with the
Joy Of heaven above.
But He turns to some with yearning and they dc
not care to know him;
Tho their hearts are faint with sorrow and theil
eyes with tears are dim:
He would chase away their sadness
Till they sang for very gladness,
But they will not let Him heal them they car
find no room for him.
o the Lord is very pleasant, very tender and for
giving:
Let us give Him reverent welcome, let us WORSHIP
Him in songi
Let us tell again the story
OF His birth and life and glory,
And pray that all the weary world may know Hi
rest ere long,
Marianne Farringham in the New York Tri

If the signs which have abounded in
New Haven during the last week or two
are true ones to-day will be a very merry
Christmas in this region. Not long ago
money was said to be tight, but lately it
has seemed to be almost recklessly loose,
SO loose that economical people have seen
something of the same meaning in the
word tight applied to money that there is
in the word when it is applied to a man
who has looked too often and too long up
on the wine when it is red::e But however,
as they used to say in the play. The
money that has been SO freely spent has
been spent for good purpose, namely, to
make the children and others happy and
merry to-day. The happiest households
will be those where there are children
enough Christmas, is especially the
children's day. Santa Claus works en-
tirely for them, as do all his agents. Any
body who has provided for making a
child happy to-day will have comfort
able and merry day, himself. There is
nothing like it. Think of all the sur
prised and the happy and the grateful
children in this town this morning. 1t is
enough to make even pessimist feel bet
ter. To be sure, before night some of
them will have discovered that their dolls
are stuffed with sawdust, others will have
fallen down while trying their new skates,
and others will be aching as to their
stomachs from having eaten too much.
But all will be gay this morning and it is
pleasing thing to contemplate while it
lasts.
We wish all our readers, both young
and old, Merry Christmas.

Where Three Races are Buried.


The strange phenomenon of one spot
having served as the burial place for peo-
of three races in three distinct ages of the
worlds history is met with on bluff of
Iowa river some forty miles from its
mouth. This thrice sacred bluff is known
as Graveyard Point.n
1t is situated in the northeast corner of
Washington county, Iowa, and is the
southern terminus of the line of bluffs ex-
tending for several miles along the west
bank of the Iowa, the submits of which
are covered with thousands of curious
forms of earthworks, mounds, etc., relics
I of a race of which the Indians have NO
distinct knowledge. After serving for ages
as q cemetery for the mound builders, the
Indians took possession of Graveyard
Point also using it as a burial place
Back in the 40s, when white men drove
the Indians out, they, too, began buryinl
their dead on the bluff, the same land thu
serving as Goods Acre. for three different
and distinct races in three stages of th,
worlds Developments.

Fell Dead on the ballroom Floor

From the ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
Mrs. Jessie NJ. Smith, a well known and
popular society lady of Minneapolis, died
suddenly in the midst of dancing fsstivi-
ties at Professor Malcolm's academy in the
Lyceum building last evening, and put a
very sad ending to what promised to be an
occasion which the hundred or so society
people who were participating would have
enjoyed.
The party was under the auspices of the
Portland Avenue Progressive Euchre club,
and was attended by some of the best
known society people in the city. The
| fourth number on the dancing program
was mazurka, and in this dance Mrs,
| Smith had Frank l.. Conkey as partner
| The couple had ceased dancing and were
/ enjoying a little promenade, when Mrs
Smith turned to her companion and said
'.Mr. Conkey, feel dizzy"
81 will show you to seat" said Mr.
Conkey.
'I guess" were the only words and th,
last words which the lady uttered. Sh'
was doubtless about to say 81 guess you,
better,n when speech left her. Her eye
became fixed, and as her startled compan
ion tried to seat her in chair she fell owe
into his arms and was dead. The musi
at once ceased, and the ballroom wa
transformed into scene of mourning.
Deceased was about twenty eight year
of age, and had been popular member @
Minneapolis society for many years.

She won't Let Him Drink and

Many months ago Mary Vacar, a comely
young Bohemian woman of twenty years,
began suit against her young husband,
Frank III. Vacar, for divorce. After sew
eral Intellectual attempts Vacar was in,
duced to come to court, and he appeared
before Judge Stone Saturday morning
The young couple began their married life
under the most happy auspices, but the
honeymoon was hardly in its last quarter
before they found that their tastes were
far from congenial. The husband wanted
to be ''one of the boys" and the wife, WHIT
was a minister's daughter and of re
ligious turn of mind, often rebuked hin
for his worldly ways.
fsWhy don't you live with your wifef
asked Judge Stone of the defendant.
'There are some things about her thai
don't like" replied Vacar evasively.
"Well, what are theys'
''She won't let me drink and smoke
and is entirely too religious"
After a consultation between his honoi
and the attorneys the case was postponed
until the next term.

COOPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING

COOPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING.
The experiment in cooperative house
keeping at Evanston, Illinois, is now in
full swing. Fifty families are in it. In
the kitchen there are tin tables heated by
steam for the purpose of keeping the meals
warm while they are being put in their
special ceptacles-Norwegian kitchens,
they are called-for conveyance to the pa
irons. These Norwegian kitchens are made
of galvanized tin, with compartments for
two kinds of vegetables, one each for tea
and coffee, one for meats and another for
fruits, all surrounded by hot water. These
are labelled with the names and addresses
of the families. They are set on shelves in
three layers in the wagons, which are in
closed and heated with small stove.
There are three delivery wagons, each
of which can hold sixteen Norwegian
Kitchens, and each is heated with a
stove. The basement is occupied by
fifteen horse power boiler and engine
which furnishes heat and power for the in
stitution. The washing machine and
wringer are on the first floor, also a large
drying room, and there is complete laun-
dry outfit. The second floor is occupied
as store room for provisions. Bills of
fare are furnished the patrons one meal in
advance, and each person is allowed to
order one portion from each title of the
bill of fare. Three meals day are served
| breakfast from 6 to 8; lunch at 12, and
dinner at 6. The cost of meals per week
at present is fixed at adults S4 each, chill
dren of 10 years and under SO. At one
half hours notice extra meals are furnish
ed patrons for guests at cost of 25 cents
