Showers of Blood.

From the st, Louis Republic.
Showers Of blood from the sky are very
rare in this day and age of the world, Il
fact which makes their comparatively
common occurrence in the Olden time
only that much more extraordinary and
unaccOUntahle. In the annals OF Re-
marhable happenings in Rome" men
ton is made Of fourteen different show
ers of blood and other substances mixed
between the wear 31l 4 ID. and Il40
Besides thnSn there were two showers
Of much intensity, of which the liquid
resemh'ed pure blood and was not inter-
mixed with other matter az heretofore
reported" III 300 we find record Of a
shower Of blood and dust over the larger
part OF Italy. In 1926 snow fell in Sy-
ria, (which presently turned into large
pools Of gore" \ monk who wrote in
125l tells of three days shower Of blood
all over Southern Europe. In the same
year Il loaf freshly from the oven did
bleed like 4 new wound" when sliced at
the table. In 1913 tie great chasms
made by the earthquake at Vilach, Aus
tria, "sent forth blood and Il great
pestilencr followed" Burgundy had
bloody shower in 1851. and Dedfordshire,
England, witnessed the same phenome-
non in 80. In 1856 hailstOnes fell in
Wurtrmhur% which contained hollow
cavities filled with blood. The last
bloody shower on record occurred in
Siam in 1852

She Cured Him of Drinking.

A Pittsburgh Woman Tries a No
vel Experiment With Good Re-
suits.
From tho lit' burrh Dispatch.
Alderman Beiuhaner of the South Side
has hit on Il rather novel plan of re -esta-
bli-hiug domestic felicity in unhappy
homes 10y curing cornwall husbands OF
drnnkcHncas.
For some time past all the woman and
men in the ward and many times from
other war1s who do not live happily
have been in the habit Of seeking the
alicrmau's advice. TwO-thirds Of the
eases that people wish TO enter for trial
at court could not run the gauntlet OF
the grand jury, so the alderman has
adopted another plan, which was unfold
ed in conversation with woman who
last night wished to sue her husband for
SUPPORT. She had no case and had no
grounds either for charges Of cruelty.
an tell you how TO cure him." said
the alderman. "YOu do just the same as
he does. If he comes home and smashes
furniture, You take a poker and help
him. II he sWearS, you swear worse
than H. does. If he gets drunk, You go
and get drunk, too. You can stop him
that way. for | have given Others the
same advice aud their husbands wited
and things were hereafter all right.
~ snort time ago a woman came to
me and said her husband got drunk and
raised a row ut home. | told her to do
the same and she said she wOnld After
leaving my Office she saw the barkeeper
Of the saloon her husband frequented
and told him that if she came into the
saloon and asked for drink he must not
stop her but do as she wanted.
"'rhe next evening she walked boldly
into the saloon where her husband and
boon companions were ranged along the
bar and said: say, fellows, it's mighty
mean weather. Have a drink, will you?
Take one on me. Bartender, give me a
good, ilf whisky. Iwant the best.
Looking at the men, who stood aghast
the women said: What's up, boys?
Have Il drink, say, and she drained the
Drumming glass, though it nearly chok-
ell her. Her husband came up to her
and said: Why, Mary why are you here?
I've as much right as you, replied the
woman.
"As sequel to the story the man and
wife left the saloon together and the
husband took solemn VOW to never
touch liquor again. The couple are now
living very happily, and it was better
than dozen lawsuits
When the alderman finished his tale
the woman said: I'll do the same thing
if it Kills me-" So some recreant hus-
band must beware of a scene.

FeS tfVitieS and the Wave OF
Time.


/ Time.
Another Christmas is numbered
with the past and another year has
about shaped itself for the pages Of
history. 1t is hoped by the TRIBUNE
that every one within the sound OF
its voice has experienced a merry
Christmas and viii realize a happy,
very happy New Year, In its ca
reer the TRIBUNE has catered 70
news, politics, the prosperity of
Mineral Point and the welfare of
mankind, and rests content in the
belief that the beuermeut and
brightness Of the world have not
been retarded by its existence; and
SO claiming assumes the right to
dwell on the theme of fesuvily and
time.
"The star which guided the sim
| pie shepherds of Judea to Bethle.
hem, more than two thousand years
ago, still shines to guide the world
weary soul to heaven. Time has
not dimmed It's lustre, nor destroyed
human faith in the glorious promise
of which it is the beautiful sign.
Meek and lowly is our religion, for
meek and lowly was the birth of
! Christ, the founder Of it.. His
mother was the poor, footsore wan
derer Mary, the wife of Joseph,
and his father, God, Jehovah, the
Eternal. Jesus brought new life to
the world, for when His mother
pressed the first kiss upon His baby
brow the angel whispered, "Peace
on earth, good will toward men"
Without faith cheerless indaed
would be our earthly existence. Sad
and dark, to the verge Of madness,
must be the life that knows no OBJ
ject. Unless we live for something
there can be no happiness in living
The past is grave over which the
memory weeps, the present almost
blank, and the future an unknown
void. Without hope the sea Of
Time would be like the unexplored |
regions Of a dark cave ia tropical
forest--eyery step pregn ant with
danger, fearful, uncertain the air
oppressive with mystery, moments
Of agony heightened into hours Of
dreadful suspenre. Hail we then,
with gladness, the natal day of our
religion, the auspicious anniversary
Of the birth Of Christ The angels
sang for Joy when the babe was
born at Bethlehem, and each Christ. |
mas Day the echoes Of their songs
seem to ring ia our ears The Mes

ures Of youth is beautiful one.
Our rosy-eheeked cherubs clap their
hands in glee, and dance like sprites
around the Christmas tree. JOY
flashes from the eye, happiness gives
grace to every motion, and we look
upon the bursting buds Of manhood
and womanhoot as the angels Of
our hearthstones. "Suffer little
children to come unto me, for Of
such is the kingdom of heaven"
were the golden words Of our Saw
/ iour. We stretch forth our hands,
