Eyes" said the policeman, "there was
a man ont last night looking for an
other man. The other man is employed
by the man, and sleeps in the store, and
on two or three occasions the man has
dropped around late at night and found
the front door open aud the other man
out. while at other times he has found
SOMEBODY In with the other man. On
each of these occasions the man has
gotten mad, and said harsh things to the
other man, but he didn't discharge him,
because he's a good salesman, aud a
good fellow besides. Some OF these
days, however, the other man is going

are mean enough TO take the other men
out for little time while some OF them

The Day of Good Will.

The legend of the Christian Church
is that its founder was born ON the 25
of December. Whether it is any.
thing more than legend as to the ex-
act date, is very doubtful. For a
great many years before the Christian
era, the Romans had held festival
about the same time of year, the spec
ial features of which were feastiDg
and exchange of gifts. In making
converts from heathenism, the Church
deemed it wisdom to leave the people
a festival at the accustomed date, and
associate it with the new religion, by
calling it the birthday of Christ. The
most important fact connected with
this day is that it marked an era of
''peace on earth and good will to
men," Such ought to be the signifi-
canoe of our festivities and our gifts.
On such day it is good thing to Wis
it our friends and give them our affec-
tionate greetings and good wishes.
You can hardly visit friends anywhere
in the West, without finding that
some part of your journey Gf you wish
it to be speedy and pleasantly will be
over the Burlington Route. See that
your home agent gives you tickets via
this line. For any further informa-
ton, address w. j. q. Kenyon, Gen.

The Democatic party has got into
the tariff snarl already, and is begin
ing to wonder if it hasn't undertaken
a pretty big contract. The question
now is, whether to begin to smash the
tariff at once by calling an extra ses-
sion of Congress, or wait until the reg
ular session. Southern Democrats, as
a rule, are anxious for immediate &C
ton. Some of the more conservative
of the party are already lodging their
platform and propose to have tariff
revision committee appointed to can
vass the country next summer and find
out what the business interests need,
and what would be the effect of reduc-
ing the tariff. Surely, if the McKin-
ley Bill is 'the browning atrocity of
class Legislation" as the Democrats
claim to believe, the country should
not suffer under it one moment longer
than is necessary. They have
preached long time; let us see what
their practicing will amount to.
