And why do you blush. coy maiden.
as we address to you the compliments
of this happy season? Can it be that

science? Have you been playing the
coquette-O! monster of ruthlessness;
have you been ieveling in the anguish
which your bright eyes and pretty face
have cntailed? We cannot bid you be
happy when we know that you, unde
serving, should not and cannot be
blessed with happiness until you have
made rcparation. Hasten to pluck the
brand from the burning; save the cal
low but honest William ere he alto

which your charms inspire.
To you. whose lives are hallowed
with the grace of maternity. not one
but many, many years of happiness!
Live long, wives andmothers of this land,
to see the little lives you have cherished
SO tenderly expand into beauty and use
tulness: live long to know and feel the
sweet rewards of gratitude, of vcnera-
ton and of love. Survive those hours

New time for toll and new space for winning
The guerdon OF happiness free TO all.
New hope for the souls long clouded over
With possible sorrows and actual pain;
New Joys for eOmradc and friend and lover,
The year is bringing them all again.
New days and hours for the patient building
OF noble character. pure and true;
For faith and love- with their radiant gliding,
To make the temple Of life anew.
A Happy New Year, and truce to sadness.
Its every moment by God Is planned;
Whatever may come, whether grief or glad
ness,
Must come Alright from Fathers hand
He blessed the old in its dawning-thenceforth
His love was true to US all the way.
And now in the hitherto shines the henceforth,
And out of the yesterdays smiles to-day
We would have power in this year to brighten
Each lot less blessed and fair thar ours;
The Voc to heal and the load to Tighten.
The waste soul-garden to plant with flowers.
May every day be royal possession
To high born purpose and steadfast aim,
And every hour in its swift progression
Make life more worthy than when it came.

guide him rightly for many day he'd
sought,
And there was not a single volume on the
shelves above or below
That could throw any light on the problem
that puzzled and vexed him so.
For the harvest season was over, and Christ
mas was close at hand,
And the glow of the rising splendor already IL
lumed the land
And there on the desk before him, in orderly
neatness, lay
The sermon he meant to deliver to his people
on Christmas day.
So twas not this that disturbed him, nor was
he a moment vexed
BY any doubt or delusion in regard to his
chosen text;
For he preached but simple gospel, IN ian
guage as terse and plain
As the smooth. round pebbles that David took
when the mighty giant was slain.
The pastor thought of his little flock, the chill
dren great and small,
And great was the loving kindness with which
he regarded all;
And yet a wave Of trouble ran over his heart,
because
They thought much less OF Jesus Christ than
they did of Santa Claus.
For one and another whispered-their words
had an eager ring
'What shall 1 get on Christmas? What Will
Santa Claus bring:"
And as everywhere and ever the thirst for
gain increased.
The charm of a kingly presence was missed
from the royal feast.
The pastor sat in his study, when his good
wife opened the door,
And together they held communion and talked
the trouble DER;
And she being quick Of fancy, in moment or
two had planned
A better way for keeping the day that was now
SO close at hand.
The pastor gave the notice from the pulpit,
next Sabbath morn,
And to brain and heart. like a swiftwinged
dart, was the startling message borne,
For he spoke in words of fire the truth they
must all believe:
'sThe Master has said: II is far more blessed
to give than to receive;'
And if at the Christmas season you'd be richly
and truly blest
Bring hither your votive offering-and let it
be of your BEST
And give TO the poor around you with generous
heart and hand
That peace and goodwill to men may fill tie
length and breadth of the land
Twas carly in bleak December the barrels
came rolling in,
The farmers sending their choicest from we'll
stored barn and bin:
There were apples and pears in plenty, and
pumpkins, yellow as gold,
And nuts and potatoes together enough for
vessels hold.
And bags on bags of -four and of coffee, and
chests Of tea
And strings of onions and peppers,-oh! twas
goodly sight to see.
And the work of nimble fingers to such an
amount was there,
It seemed as IL the collection outrivaled the
County Fair.
There were dolls Of assorted Sizes and some
that had been much used,
For the little folks had nought else TO give and
not a gift was refused;
For the pastor would teach the lesson to chill
dren Of tender years,
That the gift that secures q blessing must be
consecrated with tears.
Oh, crisp and clear Christmas dawned that
year: the church was with holly drest,
And the bells rang out q merry chime that
echoed from east 10 west;
And around the altar and down the aisles were
baskets and barrels slowed
While up on the pulpit and into the pews the
gifts had overfowed-

Be patient with children's racket

boys, because they are not exempt from
troubles. and one of the worst is sup

still maintain gravity; to see the min

a Refractory Fare on an Inter-
urban Car.
The crew of the iEterurban Train No.
456 had hard time last evening with a
refractory passenger from Minneapolis
to st. Paul. The fellow boarded the
car quietly enough and remained pass
I've until hall the distance between the
cities had been covered. Then he be-
came uproarious, and refused to quiet
down when requested to do so. He per-
sisted in pulling the spring blinds down
as far as they would go and releasing
them to fly up with crash, to the an
noyance of every one else in the car.
Finally the refractory fare made an in
sulting remark to a lady passenger, and
her male companion promptly knocked
out three of the other fellows front
teeth. The conductors of the two cars,
after stopping the train, carried him
head and heels to the platform. from
whence he was dumped uncercmoniously
into the street. The gentleman who took
the initiative in suppreSsing the nuisance

A Chinaman Upsets Rice Street

John Gung, Chinese laundryman
engaged in business OH Mississippi

new role. The Chinese are not a sue

latest style of the art in an encounter
with Rice street tough named
Murphy, which occurred near the
saloon owned by man of that
name. Murphy weighs fully 140
pounds and the Chnaman will
scarcely go more than 125 pounds. The
latter, however, after requesting Muir

that simply paralyzed the beholders
and placed the redoubtable Murphy
hors de combat. John Gung is the

counter he accepted an invitation to

before him he boasted that he could
