A Very Little Christmas Tale.

A party of gentlemen were discussing
Kris Kringle and the days events at the
Auditorium dispensary. All or nearly
all were relating the experiences of the
night before or that morning with the
little folks. Boys" said one of the party
big furniture man on Wabash avenue.
Il want to tell you what my little young
ster said when he saw the Christmas tree.
He is the baby of the house and has taken
most absorbing fancy to his papa.
seem to be to his babyish fancy the be-aIl
and end-all of humanity. My wife and
fixed up the tree last night, and this
morning we opened her up just little
after daylight. Three pairs of eyes were
all abiaze, but the fourth little pail
seemed to be missing something. The
little one of course understood that Santa
Claus brought everything, and as Santa
Claus had been very liberal older heads
marveled somewhat at the indifference
OF the baby boy to his gifts. Pretty
soon the little fellow laid his toys away
with a kind of bored expression, and
climbing on my knee he lisped, Papa,
did Thanta Claus bring dose sings?
said, Yes, dear, repeating the conven-
tional lie. The little chap put his mouth
to my ear and whispered, Papa, l don't
cage for Thanta Glaus-what is 90 dom

and buy that baby something. and give
it to him out of my own hand. Some
times | think the Santa Claus fable ought
to be relegated to the top shelf. That
little boy cared nothing for Santa Claus
or for his gifts. He did love his papa and
wanted him to remember him. Chicago

County Official Paper,
THE UNIVERSITY SHOPS.

The Reno Gazette says that the
carpenter shop at the State Univer
sity is now in working order and that
u class OF twelve students has been
formed, each having his own chest of
tools provided by the mechanics and
agricultural fund. The machinery
consists Of circular saw, Two lathes
and Il drill press run by gasoline
engine. The blacksmith shop will lie
ready for use in about a w,ex. The
snops are in charge of Richard Brown,
formerly Of Elko, who instructa the
students in the use of all the tools
aud who the Gazette says thoroughly
understands his work. ......
The last assertion OF the Gazette
will cause broad grin to spread over
the faces of -thoee who are familiar
with Dicks work as a carpenter in
this town. They will not only smile
at his competency but will wonder at
the progress he made in the use Of
carpenters tools while working as
cutter in the Carson mint. We hope,
for the good of the boys who are
forced to join the class that works in
the shops, that our estimate Of his
skill as carpenter, based as it is on
the judgment of all the mechanics of
Elko, may prove erroneous and that
he is, as the Gazette says, thoroughly
competent to fill the position Of fore
man of the shops. We were informed
hut few days ago that students at
the University were forced to join
this class and work ia the shops
whether they wished to or not. This
does not seem hardly the proper thing
to us in view Of the gross incom-
potency of the instructor. Still we
are not in position to form a correct
opinion on the matter and do not
wish to be understood as critcising
the Board of Regents for forcing
these boys to work in the shops.
But while we are on the subject of
the State University we would like to
havs, the Gazette inform us of the
necessity, if any there be, for employ
ing thirteen teachers and matron to
teach one hundred and fourteen
pupils. We are in the dark and seek
the light.

THE DUKE OF PERsIaNY.

How He Crunched and Crumbled the
Cigarettes of lis Imperial Master.
The announcement of the forthcou-
ing publication, of the memoirs of the
late duke of Persirny, who was the in
innate friend and fidus achates of Ma
poleon Ill, recalls an amusing anec-
dote in connection With the proverbial
shortness of the dukes temper, says
the, New York Recorder. Of all Ma
poleon's encourage t,Gere was no one
who spoke to him with such freedom as
Persigny, who did not hesitate % storm
and rail against him in the most forcible
manner upon the slightest provocation.
Indeed, matters came to such q pass
that Napoleon was prepared for a scene
whenever he saw his friend Persirny
enter his room. He, however, used to
take things philosophtcally and was
wont to sit perfectly still with down
cast eyes, quietly smoking his eternal
cigarette, until the duke had worked
off some of his vehemence and indigna-
ton, without making the slightest at
tempt to check or interrupt his re
marks. Only on one occasion did he
venture to do so, and it was in connec-
ton with his cigarettes.
Persigny had the peculiar habit, as
soon as he got excited. of stridinr
toward the open box in which the en-
peror kept his cigarettes and of Selling
them by the handful. He would then
crunch them in his hands and crumbIe
them just in the same manner as bread
all over the floor in the violence of his
arguments, throwing them broken and
reduced to tobacco dust upon the carpet,
the chairs, sofas, and in fact every
where. The emperor used to watch
him do this with a look of despair on
his face, and whenever he mad time
made n point of hiding away the
cigarettes before Persigny entered the
room. One day, however, when he had
been unable to take this precaution and
when the duke was more than ordinarily
hard upon the cigarettes Napoleon
plaintively remarked to his small but
exceedingly fierce friend:
Look here, Persigny, pitch into me
as much rs you like. but for Gods sake
leave my cigarettes alone. They're do
ing you no harm, are they?"

PUTTING ON TIE SCREWS.
Mayor NcDonough vigorously En-
forcing the sunday Laws

Mayor McDonough Vigorously I'm
forcing the sunday Laws
Mayor McDonough had a busy time
yesterday at the police court, nearly forty
cases being disposed of. These included the
regular daily docket and the information
docket, which contained the names of the
yiolators of the Sunday law.
Thomas Houlihau OWES barroom near
the gas house, and he was foolish enough to
keep open last Sunday. An officer hap
pened along in time to see a glass OF beer
drawn from the faucet The mayer gave
Houlihan few words Of advice and fined
him 500.
Druggist Pike was charged with allow
ing the sale of a bottle of per-
fumery. Mr.. Pike told Mayor McDonough
that he had given orders to his clerk 20 sell
nothing except drugs, and that he was not
in the store when the sale was made. Mayor
Mcdonald told Mr.. Pike that his excuse
was not a valid one, employers being re-
sponsible for such actions OF employees, and
fined him SIS.
Henry Fields and George Bolding had
their fruit stores open Sunday, and the
mayor fined them S. apiece.
John Gibbs was up for keeping his green
grocery open Sunday. His excuse was that
he had his place open for the purpose
OF delivering meat which had been
sold Saturday and kept in the ice box over
night Further, he said he had not been
notified to close. Mayor McDonough told
Gibbs that not being notified was not a
sufficient excuse, as ne did not consider it
incumbent upon either himself or
the chief of police to go around
and read the law to everybody.
He considered it the duty OF every citizen to
know the law, and fined Gibbs S., with au
intimation that il he violated it again he
would be given heavier fine.
J. E. Sandiford was another green grocer
who did not have any idea of violating
the law. He said he had been delivering
meat to customers on Sundays for eighteen
years, and during that period had done as
| much for the mayor himself. Mayor Nc.
Donough told MIR. Sandiford that il made
no difference what the custom had been,
| it was wrong according to. the law.
| he added that he was not
| the maker of the laws, and had beer
sworn to execute them without discrimin ma
ton, which he proposed to do. He fined
| itr. Sandiford only $5, as this was the frs
| time, but he warned him not to let it occur
again.
G. j. Walls, another green grocer, told
| a similar story TO that of Gibbs and Sandt
ford and was likewise fined IS.
| Peter Nichols was reported for having
the door Of his place of business open. II,
admitted having the door open, but denieC
selling anything. Mayor MoDonough in
formed Nichols that the Sunday law wa
equally applicable to his offense, whethe
he disposed of articles or not. He SHOULD
have kept his door closed. and for not doing
so he was fined SIS.
Messrs. Estill and Connors were fined 8
each for keeping their news rooms open Oh
Sunday, and they were advised to close ii

Couple of Steamboats,
The schooner Tangier caused a breeze Of
excitement yesterday, between 10 and
o'clock. by fouling both the steamers Belle

The Tangier was at the Katie's wharf
and was endsavoring to swing ou5 into the
stream. It was cub tide, aud westerl y
wind blowing. and she had her foresail
up. The wind, however, was not stong
enough to carry her along, and she
fouled the Bellevue. smashing the latter's
boat, which was hanging to the davits.
The steamer City Of Americas was just
swinging out from the wharf, and in the
efforts TO extricate the Tangisr from the
Bellevue, her jibboom was poked under the
house of the Americus. breaking some
steampipss and causing delay of q couple
of hours to the Americas to make repairs.
The Tangier afterward got under weigh
and went down the river.
