president to put him on the interstate

not to accept it. Later in the day the
rumor was found to be true. and
through the kindly offers OF Mr.. Bur-

asked the president this morning to
allow him to withdraw his verbal as
surance that ne would accept the
Office of interstate commissioner.
Upon mature reflection he became
fully satisfied that he had discharged
a duty to the president and the coun-
try by his declination OF this Office in
OCTOBER, because he feared the service
would not %, agreeable TO him nor i'd
vantageous to the country. From the
beginning OF the matter Col. Culber-

here. Judge Miller ordered the pris-

of the murder of his wife Judge
Miller then passed sentence that he

Christmas was to be her last on earth.
and she poured out her whole soul in
supplication to God to send protector

a God why did he not harken sooner?
One precious possession besides her
treasured child my grandmother had
kept all these years, so securely hidden
that it had escaped the prying eyes OF

evil days fell upon her. A little joyous

Nv grandmother, a beautiful young
woman of 20 years, was. during part Of
her Journey. chained to male convict
of the lowest class The treatment she
then received drove my grandfather to
frenzy, and he was killed by
an officer week after they
left st. Petersburg. Whether there
was ever any notice taken of his
death cannot tell. Three weeks after
my grandmother gave birth TO daugh-
ter-my mother Impossible as ii may
seem, they both lived. and to prove that
there is a spark of manhood in the
most hardened my grandmother received
rather better treatment afterward
though how she could have lived God
only knows. At length she reached
Tomsk, and there her journey ended.
Her sentence of Punishment had been
for twenty years, and she knew that
meant for life.
Hopelessly she dragged herself from
house to house, seeking a shelter for
herself and little one. At length a
wretched peasant gave her the use Of
one miserable room. She entered. be

They lived upon the small allowance
furnished by tho government treasury
for the support OF those unable to work.
This was barely enough to prevent star
walton; not enough to give them one
comfort, not even paper and ink. Cor
respondence was, however, a doubtful
pleasure, as every letter received or
sent had to pass under the inspec-
ton of an officer. Many a night after
they had retired their room was entered
and everything eXamined-even the

Through all this they lived and the
little Marie grew into a fair, large-eyed,

With nothing to help her but the wis

The 1nistietoe is looked flPan as the
Christmas plant. 4 great many people
believe that the distinction is owing to
the fact that it blossoms in some coun-
tries at this time Of the year. such
belief i founded on fiction. The mistle-
oe has been an emblem of Christianity
almost since the time of Christ. 1t
first came into use as such under the
reign Of Pope Gregory l. who sent
some missionaries to Albion NOW Eng
land to spread Christianity among the
Druids. Some years afterwards a pill
grimage Christianized Druids visited
the Papal city bringing mistletoe
branches and throwing them at the feet
of Gregory as an evidence of their re
nunciation of Druidism. 1t Will thus
be seen that the mistletoe was first the
emblem of Druid -paganism.

GUTHRIE Okla, Dec. ia tele-

last night stating that Secretary Noble
had rendered 4 decision giving 40
acres more to the Guthrie town site.
This caused the widest excitement,
and in a short time hundreds were
upon the new land. Business houses
were deserted and whole families
rushed 10 the scene. Many people
waded the river. Though it was bit
ter cold thousands camped upon lots
without covering or wraps and on
every side camp fires were burning.
The entire force left the Daily State
Capital Office, and being the first to
get the news the printers all secured
very valuable lots. The city council
rushed upon portion of the land and
secured many acres for Il park. Many
qualrels are already in progress and
it is feared theae will be bloSSshed.
